Building authority and monetising to me both walk hand in hand however, there is an old saying that goes you can’t have your cake and eat it, same goes for bloggers. I strongly believe that if you start building your authority before you begin monetizing our blog then the chances of making money becomes greater. i must warn you this is my personal opinion there are no scientific facts to back this up but in reality this is obvious. Building Authority is a way of having a network of bloggers, readers and subscribers around you, this will serve you well as with this network you can gain their trust and they will help to promote your Blog. How building authority will help you may ask? Building a network of trusted bloggers and followers will be at your advantage because if you are trusted then very one around you will believe in what you do or offer. A perfect example is Hesham of famous bloggers he uses thesis theme on his blog that means if he recommends it you would trust him that it is good theme.
Blogging is not a ones man game I guest you have heard that before, so build your authority first then after that it is time to start monetizing your blog with a network of bloggers , readers and subscribers around you they will help to attract new readers who will potentially becomes customers. Monetising is on every if not all bloggers agenda how you do it is up to you , there are many different ways to choose from, you have Google adsense , selling E-books and or advertising space.
