N.A.K.E.D. Writing — How I Earn Up to $5,000 per Month
This is how I do it
How do you tap into the lucrative world of blogging and consistently earn $5,000 per month? You get N.A.K.E.D.
That’s what I do.
No, we’re not talking about typing in your birthday suit (unless that’s your thing — do you). We’re talking about an acronym that symbolizes a profitable and monetizable blogging method.
Let’s strip down these layers and explore the meaning of each letter.
N — Niche
The first letter in our cheeky acronym stands for “Niche.”
Specializing in a specific area of interest can give your blog the edge it needs to stand out in a sea of generic content. The more specific your niche, the more likely you are to become an authority in that field, and the easier it is to monetize.
If you’re wondering how to choose the perfect niche, I added a section on that at the end of this article.
You could take a generic subject like “cooking” and instead focus on a niche like “vegan recipes for athletes in their 30s.” Alternatively, “travel” could be narrowed down to “solo backpacking trips for women in South America.”
By doing this, you’re cutting down the competition and creating a community of engaged readers who are specifically interested in your content.
A — Authenticity
The “A” in N.A.K.E.D. stands for “Authenticity.”
In the world of blogging, authenticity is worth its weight in gold. Readers can smell a fake from a mile away, and they are far more likely to engage with your content if it feels genuine and honest.
Let’s say your niche is “personal finance for college students.”
If you’ve been through the struggles of managing finances as a student and share your real-life experiences, readers are more likely to trust your advice and stick around.
Similarly, if you’re writing about “yoga for mental health,” sharing your journey with authenticity can make readers feel connected and seen.
Your unique perspective adds value that can’t be found elsewhere.
K — Knowledge
What’s the point of having a niche if you don’t know your stuff?
Gaining a deep understanding of your chosen field is critical to building trust with your audience and keeping them coming back for more.
For example, if you’re writing about sustainable fashion, you need to know the latest brands, understand the production process, and be aware of the environmental impact.
If your niche is cryptocurrency trading, you need to stay updated on market trends and understand the technical aspects of blockchain.
Knowledge translates into quality content, which ultimately translates into revenue.
E — Engagement
Building a dialogue with your readers is a crucial step toward monetization.
When readers feel that their opinions and thoughts are valued, they’re more likely to keep coming back, share your content, and even make purchases based on your recommendations.
For instance, if your niche is DIY home improvement projects, ask your readers for their project ideas or challenges they’ve faced.
If your niche is health and wellness for working moms, host regular Q&A sessions or polls to understand their specific needs better. Engagement goes a long way in building a loyal reader base.
At the very least, connect your content together by interlinking related blog posts.
D — Diversification
Last but not least, “D” stands for “Diversification.”
Relying on a single income stream is risky in any business, and blogging is no exception.
Mix up your ways of making money by using ads, earning commissions from product recommendations, getting paid for specific posts, selling things, or providing services that are related to your blog topic.
If you’re writing about freelance graphic design, you might offer design consulting services or sell design templates.
If gardening in urban spaces is your niche, consider affiliate marketing for gardening tools or offer online workshops. Diversification ensures a steady income, even when one stream dries up.
How Do You Choose the Right Niche Anyway?
When I first started, I had no idea how to choose a niche.
Over the years, I’ve narrowed my niche choosing checklist down to a few crucial elements.
I think about:
- Passion and interest
- Market demand
- Audience willingness (and ability) to spend
- Competition
- Scope and Scale
- Knowledge and Expertise
Passion and Interest
First and foremost, it’s helpful to be genuinely interested in the niche you choose.
Writing becomes a chore when you’re not passionate about the topic, and readers can sense this. Your enthusiasm should shine through your content and engage your readers on a deeper level.
Market Demand
Your chosen niche should have enough interest to attract a significant audience.
Use tools like Google Trends, Keyword Planner, or even social media platforms to see if people are actively searching for and discussing the topics you are interested in.
Audience Willingness to Spend
A profitable niche usually has an audience willing to spend money.
They might be looking for solutions, products, or services related to the niche. The more your audience is willing (and able) to invest, the higher your potential earnings.
Personally, I tend to focus on a US audience.
Limited Competition
Ideally, your chosen niche should not be overly saturated.
The less competition, the easier it will be for you to establish yourself as an authority. This doesn’t mean you should shy away from popular niches; instead, consider finding a sub-niche within them that hasn’t been heavily explored.
Scope for Multiple Income Streams
As mentioned in the N.A.K.E.D. method, diversifying your income is essential.
A profitable niche should have opportunities for monetization through different streams: display ads, prompting products and services, selling your own products and courses, etc.
Knowledge and Expertise
While you don’t need to start as an expert, you should have the willingness and capacity to become one. The more knowledge you have about your niche, the more valuable your content will be to your readers.
Summary & Takeaway
To make a consistent income of $5,000 per month, it’s time to get N.A.K.E.D. with your writing.
Niche down to become an authority, maintain Authenticity to build trust, increase Knowledge to offer high-quality content, encourage Engagement to foster loyalty, and Diversify your income streams to create financial stability.
No more hiding behind the metaphorical robes of uncertainty, it’s time to disrobe and step confidently into the spotlight of success.
Embrace your N.A.K.E.D. writing and start seeing your bank account grow.
