Is Rick Ross’ biggest hit your theme song? Elite Daily just posted an article on going from hustler to mogul, and asked five entrepreneurs how they did it. Blogging is now considered one of the hottest and potentially most lucrative positions in the digital world—the limits are endless. However, you need five key skills as a blogger to make it, starting with positioning yourself as a guru in your field. Show off your talents and skills on your blog, preferably with a niche you can dominate. Branding yourself isn’t easy, especially when it’s yourself.

Choosing that niche can be a challenge, but it can be about anything. Specialization is key, otherwise the competition is too vast. Next, a monetization plan is necessary. Maybe you want to sell products on your blog, go the affiliate marketing route, or both. If you get enough visitors, cash flow will follow. Still, a plan is a must.

Fourth, make sure you have a stunning and very modern layout for your blog. Image-centric blogs are big as long as they are relevant and quality. Copyright free is a prerequisite, and aim to make your blog interactive. Max out blogs at 500 words, and use Google Keyword Tool for SEO.
