How to start your own book blog in 10 easy steps

If you just need someone to help you set up your blog quickly and easily, check out step 5.

There are many reasons why you might want to start writing a book blog.

The biggest reason for all of this? You love to read!

This fact alone is enough to start a book blog to develop your love of books. But being a book blogger also allows you to transcend being a reader and become something more.

Here are more compelling reasons to create a book blogging website this year:

Share the books you love - With a book blog, you can share all the joy that books give you by reviewing and presenting books and authors on your blog.
Make your voice heard - It's a great way to express your opinion. You can use your blog as an outlet to talk about books you've read or are trying to write. You can even write and launch a book blog that is aimed at your broad audience.
Building your resume - In addition to giving you a blogging platform and a voice, book blogging will help you build your resume and position yourself as an expert in your field.
Improve your writing skills - Another fantastic benefit of book blogging is that they help you improve your writing skills. And remember, being a book blogger doesn't stop you from occasionally publishing articles on other writing topics or other topics you're passionate about.
Join or create a book community of like-minded people - You know, those who say “I don't read”, as if it were normal? You'll never have to deal with it if you create a community of passionate book readers!
Making money blogging books is great. Finally, you get paid to do something you love so much that you would be happy to do it for free. There's nothing better than that, right?

Now that you are (I hope) convinced that starting a book blog is the right decision (Hint: it is!).

Here are the ten steps you need to take to get there.

1. Decide the purpose of your book blog

The first step in creating a successful book blog is to determine the direction or purpose of the blog post. Next, you need to decide how you are going to position your blog.

Take your time and consider them carefully, because what you choose will be the central concept that guides your blogging efforts going forward.

You may ask yourself:

What exactly do I want to achieve with my blog?
What prompted me to start a book blog?
Am I doing this as a hobby, or am I looking at it as a future career?
Do I want to blog about a particular book field or focus on a particular genre?

Below are a few ideas to consider when considering what you want to achieve with your blog.

Idea 1: book reviews

Do you want to write book reviews? If you want to share the latest book releases with other readers and spread the word about all the books you love, writing book reviews could be the way to go.

You'll need to focus on learning how to write a book review blog and how to promote books, and it can be beneficial to develop a unique review style that will help you stand out from the crowd.

As a book reviewer, you should also choose to review all the types of books you read or to focus on a specific genre, like science fiction or romance novels.

If you're more interested in a movie review, you should instead Start a movie blog.

Idea 2: book recommendations

While book reviews are an essential part of book blogging, they're not the only aspect you can focus on. Writing book recommendations is another path you can take.

For starters, you can recommend books you like when you're writing book blogs. This will help you attract like-minded readers and blogs to your site, in order to develop your network.

By staying invested in the various elements of your blog that are most important to you, you are more likely to find massive success in your work.

Idea #3: Discussions

You can talk about any book-related topic or any blog theme you want with a book blog.

So instead of talking about individual books, you could have discussions about topics ranging from book families to unrealistic dynamics to sci-fi settings you'd want to live in; the possibilities are endless.

Idea 4: Criticize books

Do you have a passion for book criticism? If so, this type of book blog is for you. You will analyze books and write official book reviews for online publications and other media.

Just be sure to pay attention to your words and provide constructive criticism. But, of course, you don't want to get into legal battles with an author.

Idea 5: Tips and tricks for blogging books

People love bloggers who add value and are helpful. So, if you have knowledge, you can share it with your readers by writing a blog post about it, which they can also share on social media.

Book blogs should include categories such as tips for writing, writing a book from scratch, reading recommendations, technical tips, ways to boost reader engagement, and more.

It's not strictly focused on books, but once you find followers through your book blog, they might want to start a book blog, like you did.

Idea 6: General articles about books

As you can see, bloggers who specialize in books can take a lot of different directions. However, you may decide to make your blog a general book blog that is aimed at a broad audience of readers.

You can do everything from writing a book review on any book you've read, to sharing new releases, to showcasing new talent, interviewing authors, and writing short stories about exciting books to come.

This blog should not only consist of reviews, recommendations, and interviews.

You can also participate in “book tags” or join any of the unusual topics that are making the rounds in blogging communities specializing in books.

You can even join groups on various social media to help you meet, learn and review other book celebrities.

The options for a book blogger are numerous.

Deciding which path is right for you is a step that you should not take hastily.

If you really want to succeed as a book blogger, you need to have a unique approach (so if you opt for a general book blog, be sure to differentiate yourself through your personality).

Once you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with your book blog, it's time to focus on the steps needed to get where you need to go.

2. Choose the niche for your book

Here we look at the different niches that aspiring bookbloggers can focus on. Choosing the right blogging niche for books doesn't have to be a complex process.

Instead, keep in mind your biggest passion and the subject that would bring you the most joy to write, month after month, year after year.

There are generally two main categories: fiction and non-fiction.

Fiction

Romance

‍

Romantic fiction has one main focus: romantic love and the relationship between two people. As a result, books in this genre generally have emotionally satisfying and optimistic endings.

Fantasy

‍

Fantasy books contain a story that takes place in a world that is not real. These stories often include magic, supernatural events, and mystical creatures.

Crime

As the name suggests, these types of books deal with crime. Topics covered include criminal motives, crime detection, and criminal investigation.

Drama

Dramas are stories composed in prose or verse, where there are conflicts and emotions and conflicts expressed through actions and dialogues. They are usually written for a theatrical performance.

Horror

This genre is intended to produce a feeling of fear, terror, dread, or even repulsion in the reader. It can create an atmosphere that leaves readers in a state of horror.

Mystère

‍

Books in this genre often have a suspense plot involving a mystery crime. Throughout the story, various suspects and motives are considered, with clues scattered along the way to help the reader find the solution.

Science fiction

This genre generally deals with futuristic and imaginative concepts such as extraterrestrial life, time travel, and advanced science and technology. In addition, science fiction stories often take place on other planets or in the future.

Graphic novel

Books in this genre are based on a series of hand-drawn images. Stories in graphic novels are generally told visually, with a few words placed in bubbles or in panels at the bottom or top of the page.

Nonfiction

Biography/Autobiography

A biography is an account of one person's life written by someone else. An autobiography is an account of a person's life, written by themselves.

Narrative nonfiction

Also known as “book nonfiction” or “creative nonfiction,” this genre uses literary techniques to create narratives that are factually accurate in order to tell a story.

Religion and spirituality

An example of books of this kind is the Bible and self-help books written to help readers solve personal problems and improve their lives.

Periodical

These are magazines, newspapers, journals, and other publications that are written periodically at definite intervals.

Reference books

This genre includes dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, and other books that we refer to when we need specific information.

3. Choose your blogging platform

It's usually at this stage that people start to panic. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed.

I get it. There are lots of options out there, and when you start writing books, it can be difficult to decide which direction to take. But don't worry. This section will show you how to choose the best blogging platform to ensure future success.

There are lots of free blogging platforms out there, such as Blogger.com, Wix.com, Squarespace, Tumblr, and WordPress.com (not to be confused with WordPress.org - I'll explain in a moment).

While these freebies may work if you don't have other options, I don't recommend them, and here are a few very compelling reasons.

Why choose a self-hosted (paid) site over free alternatives?

Professional domain name

Unless you're an amateur blogger who doesn't dream of earning a cent from your efforts one day, these free sites won't be right for you.

You don't want an amasier-looking “Awesomebookblog.WordPress.com” when you can be “Awesomebookblog.com” instead - clean, professional, easy to remember, and brand-worthy.

Building public trust

There are a multitude of bloggers out there and if you want to build trust and loyalty with your audience, you'll need a professional site that shows them that you're a serious book blogger.

It's worth spending a few dollars to get your self-hosted blog rather than using a free blog.

Never lose followers

If you start blogging on a free platform (for example Wix.com) and that you end up switching to a paid option, like WordPress.org, you may lose a lot of followers by switching to your new URL.

You don't own the content

One of the scariest aspects of using a free website builder is that you don't technically own your content. Because it's created on their platform, their service fully owns the content.

So, if a service ended up shutting down your site or if it was removed, you would have NO possibility of recovering it. For me, it's not very reassuring.

I would highly recommend that you use WordPress.org as a blogging platform right from the start.

It's easy to use and comes with a very supportive book community that creates new tools for users of WordPress.org (it is an open source platform).

More reasons to choose WordPress

WordPress powers 60% of all online blogs built using a content management system (CMS).
WordPress sites receive over 400 million visitors every month
The number of websites using WordPress continues to grow every year.
More than 660 WordPress websites are created every day
Over 50,000 plugins in WordPress and a vast community of developers and users.
I use WordPress for my entire portfolio of websites for one simple reason. It is the best option available.

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons why you should choose a paid WordPress theme over one of the free alternatives. It's the absolute best platform for creating a successful book blog, whether you're new to blogging or have a bit of experience.

4. Choose your domain name

Now it's time to choose your domain name. Again, it is essential that you devote an hour or two to this task. Your domain name is as important as each of your blog posts and its title. If you're wondering why choosing a name for your book blog is so important, here are a few reasons:

First impression. Your name is the first thing visitors see. A great blog name can leave a lasting positive impression, while a bad name can scare readers away or make them forget your blog as soon as they click.
Search engine optimization. The domain name you choose can have a huge impact on your SEO. In other words, your domain name can have an impact on whether or not Google and other search engines send you traffic to your website. For those who don't know, that's where most of your traffic will come from once your website is up and running at full speed.
Brand image. You want people to know who you are and what you do, don't you? The book blog domain name you choose will define your brand. You may also have a privacy and criticism policy. This is a massive branding opportunity that you can take advantage of to increase brand recognition.

Here are several things you need to know before buying a domain name. This information is the result of years of experience, so it should be useful to you.

Buy a.com domain name. Studies have shown that more people trust the.com domains than any other domain name extension available today. As new bloggers, you want to quickly gain the trust of your audience and create your blogging community.
Stay broad with your domain name. This will allow you to expand and develop your book blog. However, it would be best to stay away from fun ideas for your domain name. It is difficult to develop your blog with a very specialized domain name like” RomanceNovelReviewBlog.com “. This will have a significant impact on the name of your blog and will allow you to build a successful blog.
Choose a short and pleasant name. Avoid using long, difficult to spell words when choosing a name for your book blog. Your domain name should be unique, memorable, and easy to understand.
Alliteration is king. Alliteration is the appearance of the same or similar letters or sounds at the beginning of words. It makes it more likely that your audience will remember your book blog. For example, “Cathat.com” or “CatChristmas.com.”
Get creative to get your domain name. If the name you want is already taken, don't worry. There are a few tips and tricks for getting a great domain name, like using synonyms or unique words that mean the same thing, or adding additional words like “The,” “HQ,” “Hub,” “Home,” etc. to your chosen name.
Think of a brand image concept. When considering choosing a domain name, try to think about the concept of branding. This can be very useful in helping you find unique names for your book blog.
Use tools if you get stuck. There are great domain name generators out there that you can use to help you find the perfect blog name. These include Instantdomain.com and Leandomainsearch.com. Do NOT buy your domain here. Just use it as a tool to find the best option.
You'll buy the domain when you get the hosting (in the next step). But believe me, buying it with your hosting later will save you a few headaches.
Don't buy an expensive domain name. Instead, start with a common domain name and focus on building your business. It's best to do this as well as buy a domain name that you fall in love with for a few thousand dollars.
Don't get stuck at this point. So many people give in to “analysis paralysis” here and never get past this stage. Don't let that happen to you. Instead, find something good enough in a few hours, think of a concept around that idea, and then move on.
Avoid hyphens and numbers : When choosing a domain name, be careful not to include hyphens and numbers in the domain name itself. This is a common mistake to avoid when choosing the domain name for your blog.

With a custom domain, everyone from Google to your audience to authors, publishers, and other book bloggers will consider you a professional and treat you like one.

But remember that while choosing the right domain is essential, there's no need to spend countless hours deciding which domain name to remember.

Examples of successful book blogs

BookBustle

This domain name makes sense because it's short, sweet, and easy to remember. Have you noticed the clever use of alliteration?

TheUncorkedLibrarian.com

This descriptive name shows that this blogger is fun, cheerful, and loves books and wine.

Readerwitch.com

This blogger says that she aims to delight her audience with her energetic voice with such a unique name.

Bookriot.com

Another catchy name that's easy to remember. Book Riot lets you know that you're going to have a different experience than traditional boring book blogs.

QuillandQuire

The blog name in this book uses alliteration to produce a unique and memorable name.

5. Buy your accommodation

Now that you've chosen a name for your blog, you need to register your domain name and get hosting for your blog.

Hosting is simply the space on the Internet where your video game blog will live.

Blog hosting providers are companies that offer services to keep your blog files on their servers and ensure that your website is always available for your readers to find online.

6. Choosing and installing a theme for your book blog

After setting up your WordPress domain, it's time to choose a blog theme.

A theme changes the way content is displayed on your website. It changes the front-end aspect of your blog, which is what a visitor sees when browsing your website.

You need to choose a theme that looks good so that you can design a book blog site that is unique, fantastic, and professional looking.

WordPress offers plenty of free themes that you can use, but it's not always a good idea to go this route, as your site will look like a million others, and if you want your blog to stand out, you need a custom theme that reflects your uniqueness.

There are plenty of other reasons to choose a paid theme over a free theme:

Benefits of a Premium WordPress theme

Responsive design. These themes look great on any device.
Increased safety. Most premium themes have built-in security to combat malicious code.
Technical assistance. Ideal for people who have technical difficulties.
Adapted to SEO. You need it if you want a higher-ranking website that more people will find on search engines.
Conviviality. With premium WordPress themes, it's easy to make changes to your site. With free themes, you'll likely need to adjust the code and understand HTML.
Unique models. No generic designs. Just an amazing, unique, and professional blog.

There are some questions you can ask yourself to help with the theme selection process.

For example, how do you want your blog posts or book reviews to look like? Do you want to have a sidebar? What colors are associated with your brand?

The good news is that there are already tons of ready-to-use themes for literary bloggers out there.

By choosing one of these, it's incredibly easy to set up your blog exactly the way you want it, even if you don't have a lot of experience building websites.

I always recommend Thrive Theme Builder to people. Why?

Because it's completely customizable, you can adjust your blog to look exactly the way you want by pointing and clicking instead of hiring a developer.

This blog was built using Thrive Theme Builder, and I am thrilled with it. In the long term? I think it's the most profitable theme you'll find.

... and much more!

7. Create the essential pages and the logo

Secure domain name, CHECK!

A nice blog in place, CHECK!

Now comes the fun part. You need to start creating content on your site.

Start with the essential pages that every book blog should have. Pages are static articles that provide your visitors with all the information they need about your site.

These include:

Home page

Readers want to know the person behind the book blog. You don't have to be too personal (unless you want to), but you should include some information about yourself and the overall purpose of your blog.

Make yourself known to your readers and tell them what they want from your book blog. You might consider adding a photo of yourself to give it a more personal touch.

If you're not comfortable with this and want to remain private, consider adding a pen name or keeping the background information and referring to the blog's “staff.”

Contact page

Ideally, your contact page should include an email address and a contact form that visitors can fill out.

You can also include your business address, phone number, and any other information that you think your visitors might find useful.

Confidentiality policy

This page, along with other legal pages such as the disclaimer and the terms and conditions, are of paramount importance. Also, when you start monetizing your website, some advertising programs won't accept you if you don't have a solid privacy and review policy.

You can also create our review policy when you create a book blog website.

Depending on your chosen niche, you can also create content sections on your blog, such as book reviews, book labels, interviews, blog tours, copyright legal pages, and more.

It's always good to take a look at some of your favorite book blogs to see how they're doing it and get ideas for you.

There are lots of free online tools to help you create a privacy page (Like this), so I recommend that you consult them to see what is needed.

Create a logo

Besides, it's also a great time to focus on creating a logo for your book blog. There are lots of ways to do this, but I am a big fan of using this logo maker.

For starters, you can click here to create a blog logo. I think it's a good idea to create a logo at this point, now that your blog is fully set up.

This platform will provide you with a free logo for your blog, and if you need high resolution logo files, you can pay a very small amount to have access to these files and a few other things.

8. Start blogging

Before you start blogging, you need to decide how often you're going to post on your blog. Do you want to post once a week? Twice a week? Three times a week? Be sure to choose a frequency at which you can keep up.

So what should you talk about in your blog? Here are a few ideas:

Review popular books : Every book review blog is a great way to ensure that your voice is authoritative in the book lover niche. Remember to include a review policy to specify how you choose the books you review. You can also advertise these popular book reviews on social media platforms to reach a wider audience.
Create lists of the best books : Choose the name of your blog. You can cover a lot of different genres or topics to create a nearly endless array of lists of the best books.
Interview authors: This not only helps you create content, but it also helps you build crucial social capital that you can use to take your blog to the next level.
Suggest books for a niche audience : Reviews and lists of the best books are nice, but sometimes people just want a good suggestion. Help them find the next book for their bookshelves.
Show people where they can get free books : Many sites offer free books, especially for children. Let people know about these resources. Never post links to illegal file-sharing sites or to copyrighted material.
Start an e-galley : In 2008, Netgalley launched the first website designed for digital exams. Today, most major publishing houses have one. You can create an electronic essay as part of a blog post about your book - maybe for local authors in your area. Additionally, you can use the electronic galley as a premium feature to offer review copies and book labels to selected audiences who need to pay for a subscription.
Help readers improve their literacy levels : How-to guides and methods for overcoming reading difficulties can be a great way to diversify your content and provide educational resources to your audience.
Promote your own books : If you're an author yourself, you can use a book blog to promote your own published and unpublished works by selling advanced reader copies and review copies of previously published books. Share and advertise on social media platforms that you can post. You can make money blogging and writing a book review. Additionally, you can use your blog post to discuss your books, their deeper meaning, why you wrote them, and much more.

... the list goes on!

And remember, content isn't just about writing. In your book blogger journey, you can also create short videos, funny diagrams, and educational infographics that your audience can share on their social media.

Media content is a great complement to messages. It makes them easier to share and increases the chances of your content going viral on another social media platform.

Pro tip: Write blog posts in advance. Make sure you've written at least ten blog posts before promoting anything. Also, consider scheduling some items for the coming weeks.

This will help you start a book blog and save you the stress of having to scramble to create content for the first few days, when there are so many other things you need to do to get your blog up and running.

Find a pace of content creation and be consistent.

It helps if you have a weekly routine that provides great content on a regular basis. Be sure to create new book blog posts on a regular basis.

People today have limited attention spans, and you need to create content to keep them constantly engaged.

Your passion, knowledge, and writing style will determine the nature of your book blog. So don't be afraid to experiment a bit during these first few days.

There are very few limitations and rules when it comes to book blogging.

You can choose the length and tone of your posts, and the use of visual content, all of which vary considerably from book blog to literary blog.

Just make sure that the content you create is engaging and relevant.

And remember, you're creating content for an audience that's passionate about books. Your publications should therefore be well executed, properly structured and eloquent.

If there are mistakes and typos, your target audience may leave your blog quickly, never to return to it again.

If you want to reuse your content, consider turn your blog posts into ebooks or in downloadable PDFs.

9. Promote your book blog

You've spent a lot of time creating content for your blog. The last thing you want is to hear crickets after you launch your new blog.

This section discusses some of the most effective ways to promote your blog.

Remember that you should have already written all ten of your blog posts before promoting anything; otherwise, the blog will look empty when people arrive.

1. Tell your friends and family.

It's a good starting point.

Make sure everyone in your closest social circles knows that you're starting a book blog, and tell them to spread the word!

2. Promote your new book blog on social media.

With thorough research and a tailored social media marketing strategy, your book blog posts won't go unheeded.

Many platforms even have groups dedicated to various topics.

On Instagram, book lovers have created their own #Bookstagram niche. Many users even share snippets of the content to get readers to click on your blog to read more.

3. Book clubs and blogging communities.

Book clubs are a great place to promote your book review articles and interact with other bloggers. You can even read their book review blog and content.

A simple online search will allow you to discover countless book clubs that you can join and start growing your network. In addition to traditional book clubs, there are plenty of blogging communities you can join.

4. Email list

Over time, your blog will naturally attract readers through search engines, and eventually, you'll want to start a mailing list.

This is a list of people you can promote your items to - for free!

There are, of course, advanced tips for creating a mailing list that you'll learn later in your blogging career, but the sooner you get started the better.

I would say that you should expect to have around 30 readers per day.

5. Use a share button

There are a large number of free WordPress themes and plugins that you can choose and use for this, but if you're using a premium WordPress theme, it's likely that it's already included.

They can write a useful article, post reviews, share the blog URL, and organize discussions to increase traffic to your site. You can even reach other bloggers who specialize in books from numerous social media channels.

Ask your readers to share your content on their social media accounts if they like it (which they will!).

6. Cross-mailing.

This can allow you to gain a large number of new followers very quickly.

While blogging your book is the basis for your online writing, you can engage with a larger audience on other platforms, like niche social forums such as Goodreads, where you can connect with other readers and have conversations.

7. SEO.

Search engine optimization is the main traffic driver for book blogs.

When Google/Bing/Yahoo shows your blog in search results and refers people to your website to read your content.

This is possible when you focus on quality content and have the patience (sometimes up to 6-12 months) to let search engines understand what your book blog is about.

8. Connect with other book bloggers.

When you start blogging for your book, it's the most valuable resource you have as a new blogger for your book in blogging.

Do your best to share, comment, and interact with other bloggers and analyze their book reviews and content as much as possible to integrate yourself with your peers. You can even write guest posts to feature other bloggers in your book blogging community.

In doing so, you will find great opportunities for profitable partnerships.

9. Give interviews with authors

Sometimes you just need to go out and talk to people about your book and book review blogs. Reach out to local journalists or bloggers at your local library or social media to see if they would be interested in an article about you and your story. You may also be the subject of their guest articles.

When you practice book blogging, you don't just write book reviews, but you can also create interviews with bloggers who specialize in book reviews and publish them on YouTube and other social media platforms.

If you want to boost your website traffic (even with sponsored and invited posts), the most important rule to remember is to write frequently and even have advanced reading copies for your blog while maintaining the quality of your literary blog content. This will help you maintain a high level of engagement from your audience and their social media in your book blog.

10. Start earning money

Ten steps in creating a book blog, and one more to go through. Bet you couldn't wait to get to this part about starting a book blog! Now that everything is working as it should, it's time to think about monetizing your blog online and on social media pages.

Generally, I like to focus on this after welcoming 500 to 1000 people to my blog in a month. I know it seems like a lot now, but I assure you it's totally achievable.

There are several passive ways to start making money with blogging:

Affiliate marketing

It's ideal for new bloggers, especially if you choose the Amazon program, which has the largest online book marketplace for blogging and writer posts.

You'll be able to promote the latest blog post title, the latest book review, and the name of the blog your audience loves and generate a healthy income over time. Remember to consider your criticism policy when choosing affiliates.

All you need to do is incorporate Amazon links into your content, and when your readers click the link and make a purchase, you get a commission on the sale.

Advertising ads

Consider adding ads on your book blog and sometimes with media like your book cover from your book review by participating in Google Adsense. You can also try Media.net or any other program that offers ads fueled by the intent of book bloggers.

This will allow you to earn money while showing your audience ads that are useful to them.

Spreading ads on social media can also help you reach and gain a larger audience for your book blogs.

Direct advertising

Programs like Google Ads pay you based on the number of views or clicks your blog gets on books. Unfortunately, it's hard for those with niche book blogs or a small audience to earn a decent income.

The alternative is to use direct advertising because viewers are more likely to buy a relevant product.

Partner with authors or publishers when they launch a book and help them get the word out by publishing blog posts and writing advanced reading copies of their published works.

If you have a strong brand and an engaged audience, they will be happy to pay for your influence.

Create an information product

As a blogger who specializes in books, you can create information that helps other authors write better content or sell more books. This will help others who have just started blogging, while it will allow you to make money blogging while providing exceptional value to your audience.

Patreon

Many people are skeptical about launching a Patreon — until they do! Patreon can be a great source of income for book bloggers and help you in your early years as a literary blogger.

While it may be slow at first, the revenue you earn continues to grow as your brand and audience grow. It's a great way for bloggers to generate reliable revenue over time.

Blog about sponsored posts and book reviews

Once you have an audience and create a book review, you can feature paid posts on your book blog.

As long as you maintain the quality and frequency of your posts and keep creating each new blog consistently, you'll be able to accomplish this in a relatively short period of time.

Summary

We've discussed everything step-by-step about blogging books and how to start a book blog. Having fun is the most important factor because you are more likely to keep writing on the blog. Even when things are tough, you don't have much fun.

Too many people start book blogs and put a ton of work into them, only to give up along the way because the results aren't fast enough.

Don't let that happen to you. Instead, use this post as a resource to help you take steps to get where you want to be.

Blogging books is hard, but it takes patience and persistence for a whole year. If you succeed, you will certainly see very positive results and start earning extra income.

Good luck! And don't forget to have fun!
