There are endless ways to make money online.
While endless opportunity is a wonderful thing, It might feel like a problem if you are trying to narrow down a strategy or business model.
If you’re leaning away from running Facebook ads or social media posts and videos,
Then, blogging might be just the thing you’re looking for.
Why this works:
You might think that having a blog is not effective or maybe saturated.
Let me tell you why that is not true.
Think about your own experience when you want to buy a new product.
You will typically do a little research and check reviews.
Now if the product costs a substantial amount of money, you will likely do even more research.
Very often, you will end up on a blog site giving the pros and cons of the product.
You might even click the link on the site to go buy it online somewhere.
See?
It works!
Benefits of Review Blogs
Blogs are effective and relatively easy, because you can give your honest opinion about products or services in any niche.
Reviews also work well for SEO and can help you rank top of page on Google, because it is something people are searching for.
People will search for reviews for those products and if they buy from your link, you get paid.
Now, imagine this happening several times per day without you having to be there making it happen.
Once you set it up, it can continue to churn out sales for you over and over again.
The Imp0rtance of Trust
Now as a beginning blogger, the most important thing to think about is trust.
If you want to have long-term customers who believe you and buy from you, you need to establish yourself as someone they can trust.
This requires you to be competent in your recommendations.
If you review products, you don’t really know anything about, your audience will likely lose interest and trust.
They will not believe any of your other reviews.
Also, resist the urge to promote bad products that pay you well.
Tell your audience exactly what you think, even if you think it might cost you money.
This will likely only be in the short-term, but having the trust of your audience will last longer and pay much more over time.
Every product has one or two things about it that are not ideal or could be improved.
Pointing them out will go a long way with your audience.
Avoid These Pitfalls
Do not ignore your audience.
They will tell you what they want from you and you should at least address it.
Perhaps you don’t want to do things the way they want,
but explain why and even if they disagree, they will feel heard and respected.
Be sure to disclose affiliate relationships.
Let them know that you get paid if they buy the product you are reviewing.
You can also let them know it doesn’t cost any more to go through you.
In some cases they might even get a discount.
Pro Tip:
Give them something extra as a reward from buying through your link.
You can give away an eBook or something that doesn’t really cost you too much.
This will get them to buy and keep them loyal to you.
Next, do not use jargon.
Do not assume your audience knows what you are talking about.
Some of them will, but break things down very simple.
Avoid abbreviations and assumptions about the product, niche, or industry.
There’s nothing worse than trying to read a product review and having no idea what the review is saying.
It’s frustrating and your readers will lose interest and look somewhere else for the info.
Best Practices
We talked about this already, but be thorough in your research of a product before reviewing it.
Your audience will appreciate the extra effort that you put in and nobody else is doing.
Make the review look pretty.
Use bullet points and clear and bold fonts.
High resolution pictures and graphics catch the eye and keep readers engaged on your page longer.
Keep an eye on changes to the product and pricing.
If something changes, update your website ASAP.
Pro Tip:
Other testimonials of products that agree with your review provide social proof that you can be trusted.
Find other people that agree with you and put them on your blog.
Lastly, If you decide to build a review blog website,
keep in mind that there are other ways to help your page rank higher on Google which brings you more visitors.
It is worth doing some research and learning about backlinks, collaborations, and other techniques that show Google you are legitimate.
Be careful you aren’t doing anything shady or taking it too far.
Also, letting advertisers run ads on your page is another way to increase revenue.
It likely will not be near as much as what you will make from the affiliate links on your site but can be substantial with enough traffic.
Conclusion,
2024 is a great time to have a review blog that brings free visitors to your website on autopilot.
These visitors can quickly become paying customers and create a fairly passive income for you.
Figure out what kinds of products you want to promote and let me know in the comments how it goes.
Now, go get started.
