Start a Blog

How does it Work
Being a blogger is one of the easiest ways to earn money from home. Unlike any other job, if you are blogging from home, you don’t need to work 9-5.
You can work at any time of the day with ease. But beware blogging takes time before it starts making money for you.
So I suggest you jump into this field slowly. If you have a day job, don’t quit it. Start part-time with your blog.
Once it is on the stage where it is earning you more than your comfortable limits, then it’s the best time to turn into full-time blogging mode.
Suitable For
People who love to write and would like to share their knowledge and expertise with the world.
Skills Required
Ability to express knowledge in writing in a simple yet efficient way.
Time Required For Starting A Blog
The time required depends upon your level of expertise if you are an expert you can easily start a blog within a few hours. For a complete beginner, a day or two would be sufficient.
Tips
1. Start a blog about something in which you are really good at.
For example, if you love traveling and you have visited a lot of places then start a travel blog.
2. Always try to limit your blog to a particular domain. Don’t put content on multiple domains in one blog.
For example, writing about recipe tips on a fashion blog. Keep your blog specific to one domain only.
3. Using your experience and expertise try to create unique and phenomenal content. Try to give a lot of value to your readers. Write about something that will make a difference in your reader’s’ life.
4. Listen to the readers of your blog. Try to solve the problems they are facing. Always reply to their comments. Make them feel better.
5. Be committed to your blog. A blog is like a relationship. Give it some love, and it will flourish. Ignore it, and it will die a death. There’s no point in being half-hearted in your blogging efforts – if you don’t care about it, why should anyone else?
6. Think about content, style, tone of voice, audience, etc. Look at the people who are already doing what you’re planning to do. Ask yourself the following questions:
How will I stand out from the crowd?
What can I say that hasn’t already been said?
What’s my unique selling point?
Why do I want to do this?
7. Be professional in the way you handle and grow your blog. Don’t criticize other brands, bloggers or people. Remember what goes around comes around. You don’t want something you’ve said to come back and bite you one day.
8. Be open-minded and willing to collaborate with other creatives. You’ll meet some fantastic and awe-inspiring people.
How To Monetize
You can monetize your blog by recommending products or services related to your blog’s topic either by writing an informative article or placing banner ads on your blog’s relevant pages.
You can earn handsome commissions when a person buys a product recommended by you.
Another way is you can place Google Adsense ads on your blog. More people click on your ads more money you will make.

Blogging is a fantastic way to make money from home, it has been my main source of income for the last 5 years. I love that I can make my own work schedule which means I can work around the needs of my family. I agree with you that the best thing is to blog about something you love and that you are knowledgeable about – it just makes it so much easier to make an income.

I began to read this series and you’re giving me a masterclass. I can’t believe you’re giving away all this for free.
I’d like to blog about coffee. Thank you for your suggestion of limiting the content of my blog only to coffee. I know that if I didn’t know this I would also start talking a bit about the effects of COVID-19 on economics. But that wouldn’t be advisable.

I have a whole lot of blogs going Abel and the aim now is to expand to newer things. Glad to be of some help.

Starting a blog is definitely one of the best and my favorite way to make money online considering that it is passive income. A blog post published today can make thousands of dollars over the years ahead. Although I don’t have most of the skills you have shared, I believe I will develop them over time. I love the idea of collaborating with other people in my niche. It is definitely one of the ways to grow my blog. Good to see you share this post.
