Blog novels are an extremely lucrative option,
which every writer should take a closer look at. I am not talking theory here,
I‘ve actually written three blog novels,
and although only one of them is complete, all earn me an ongoing income. What’s
more they will continue to earn me that income for many years to come – that’s
the beauty of a blog novel. Writing a novel
is hard work, but there are several advantages of writing it online and in the
form of a blog. To start with it is much
easier to write it in blog format because
you can get ongoing comments from your readers and even generate free one-way
links from them. I did both with my first blog
novel and it worked out beyond my expectations. Not to mention this little known
secret about the way blog novels tend to
generate traffic all on their own and without any effort on your part, like
you having to work keywords. More on that later. This is how I started writing
my first blog novel. I wrote the first few
hundred words, trying to put in as much suspense as possible and at the same
time building up the characters in an interesting way. I put all of it in one
post. The next day I did yet another post. After a few days I felt a little
discouraged because hardly anybody seemed to be reading my blog
novel. So I stopped writing. But not before making one promise to any would-be
readers out there. I would continue writing the moment I received a comment.
I would need one comment to make a post. I waited a few days half expecting
that it would not work. But it did and all this can be viewed first hand in
that initial blog novel I wrote. One person
wrote in and so our conversation started. That conversation with that person
and a couple of other readers who joined in later, carried me to the end of
my blog novel. I’ve started out writing many
novels in my lifetime but this was the first one that I ever finished. I had
also built a relationship with those readers who were visiting my blog
and commenting, virtually daily and so when I asked for one way links to my
blog novel, I got them. The important thing
here is that you must make your readers a part of your novel-writing process,
that way they get involved in the whole process so deeply that they will virtually
do anything for you. Traffic to your blog
novel will tend to grow as you steadily continue to write it. And so will your
income from programs like Adsense where you earn money when those wonderful
readers click on your ads. With a reasonable amount of regular traffic, the
cash generating options are many. You can directly sell targeted advertisements
of your very own or even text links in your blog.
Not to mention joining a highly relevant affiliate program. That is, relevant
to the sort of blog novel that you are writing.
There is one fear that many writers have, which I want to talk about now. Some
of you writers out there will be horrified at the fact that I am suggesting
that you allow your raw un-revised writing to be read. What if it is all horrible
trash? My advice here is that it does not matter. In other words it is not the
most important thing. The most important thing for a writer is for them to keep
on writing. Blogs offer a golden opportunity for this to happen. You can always
edit and revise your bovel (blog novel) when
it is done. That’s the easy part and you will have already completed the most
difficult part – writing something. Christopher Kyalo is a successful online
entrepreneur and writer. He has written three blog
novels.
