How to Make a Consistent Income Online by Writing Blog Reviews (Part 1)

Do you know that you can make a nice income with a blog without needed to make yourself or your blog popular, without getting massive amount of blog traffic, and without having to learn the blog monetizing strategies and busy testing which advertising programs work well for your blog.

By posting paid or sponsor reviews on your blog, it is possible to make $100 to $2,000 every month. But of course, there are some drawbacks if you build a blog specifically to post sponsor reviews only. Firstly your blog will not attract returned visitors because most people don’t like to read blog posts about product reviews. Secondly your visitors will not subscribe to your blog feed because again they aren’t interested to read review posts and finally your blog isn’t suitable for Google AdSense and other similar money making programs.

But don’t feel bad because of the above drawbacks as you are still able to make a good income just by focusing on posting paid reviews.

Starting a blog specifically to make money with paid reviews isn’t suitable to everyone. But if you do interested to make money online with this method, here are the steps you can follow to get started:

Step 1 - Start a Blog
Blogger.com is so popular; I bet you have heard of it. You can join Blogger.com and set up a blog absolutely free with a subdomain name of blogger.com. But I will suggest you use a custom domain name for your blog that set up in Blogger.com.

Using domain name for your Blogger blog will increase your chances of getting more paid review opportunities. The easiest way to set up your Blogger blog with your own custom domain name is by buying your domain name through Blogger. Buying a domain through Blogger will automatically set up everything for you and will attach you a new domain to your existing Blogger blog instantly. Below are the instructions from Blogger.com on how to set up a blog with your own domain name:

Step 2 - Decide the Topics for Your Blog
After you have set up your blog, it is now ready for posting your content for publication on the Internet. But before you know what to post, you must decide what topics you want to focus on. In the case of building a review blog, you will need to start a list of topics for your blog. It is not difficult to start numerous topics or categories for your blog, just write anything related to your life, hobby and experience and you’ll then come up with a list of topics in your blog.
