Question: Can I make lots of money blogging if I don’t have any hits?

Lots of money? No. I’ll be honest. The very few bloggers that make “lots of money” are professional bloggers who have been doing it for years.

Making money blogging takes time, and effort. There is no quick fix. You need to build a readership over time through high-quality content, while being very consistent in your delivery of your posts and topics.

But here’s the very best piece of advice I can give you. Solve problems for your readers. Give them answers to problems (like I’m doing here, right)? Think about what you know that can help people and write a blog like that.

Now, on to your second question.

Can I make money without any “hits”?

Yes, but it’s hard to do. Without tons of “hits”, or better known as traffic/visitors/readers, you’ll never be able to sell enough advertising to make bank. But… there is hope.

You CAN make indirect income from your blogging efforts by building your brand name and becoming a thought-leader or expert or guru in your niche industry. When that happens, it doesn’t matter how many people read you, it’s all about how many of the “right” people read you.

Advertisers want focused eyeballs from their direct target markets. So if you can provide them with a small readership of their exact target market, you can get them to value your blog, and then pay you to reach those readers.
