Since WordPress blogs are so easy to get started, thousands of them invade the internet every day. This means thousands of new domains, hubspot, wordpress.com, blogspot and tons of other free and paid domain services are going live daily for you to compete with.

This means that you need to have a better and more clear mindset on what you are going to blog about and how you are going to make money with your site(s). The key here is to focus on quality content, catering to what your audience is looking for and delivering.

If your competition is ranking #1 on Google for “best pet food” and you have a pet food blog, then you need to see what they are doing and do it better!

If your competition is doing text and video, you need to throw some infographics into the mix and run a social media contest to get even more activity going.

No matter what your niche is, you need to do more and be the best.

Once you have a great site with a decent amount of traffic, then you can focus on making money with your site. You also don’t need to make a new blog post every day, instead just focus on what you have and making the most out of it.
