Author: Blogging Light

So far, I have seen that most of you have started blogging in different niches like tech, food, travel, etc. But, only a few ones have managed to make it successful! So, no need to worry as in today’s post, I am going to discuss 5 concise ways using which you can get a pretty simple solution to your query, how to start a successful blog. So, let’s start without further ado.

  1. Find the niche you are passionate about. It can be anything you admire the most. Also, focus on only ONE niche at a time.
  2. After deciding the niche, know who all are going to read your blogs, which age group they belong to, what do they want from you, etc. Knowing your readers help you in manipulating your articles to resonate with them.
  3. All those who are reading your blogs, they aren’t doing so for time pass. They tend to seek solutions to their problems from your blog. So, it’s worth asking: is your content adding any value to them?
  4. Be original! Whether it’s you or your blog content. As there is a 100% possibility that whatever is your topic for today’s blog, years ago, another blogger had already written over it. So, why the audience should read your blog and not that earlier one? Simple: it’s your creativity, passion, imagination that defines you and your blogs! So, be different and original.
  5. Give people reasons for sharing your articles and blogs with their friends and family members by writing interactive and interesting blog posts, full of knowledge and facts!

Note: These are only a handful of ways via which you can start a successful blog. Many more ways do exist and are equally beneficial.

Now, after setting up a successful blog, the next question that strikes our mind is how to make money from a blog? There exist tons of ways of doing so but I will underline the unique ones.

  1. Place ads (CPC or CPM) on your website. CPC ads mean cost per click i.e. you are paid for every click on the ad. CPM ads mean cost per 1k impressions i.e. you get paid for the number of views on the ad.
  2. If you a huge reader base, you also qualify for selling private ads on your site. Either you can contact advertisers or they can contact you for placing and selling their ads.
  3. Practice affiliate marketing on your site! Join an affiliate program, get an affiliate link, place it on your site, promote it and once anyone clicks on that link and purchases the product, you get a commission for that sale.
  4. You can also sell digital products like images, videos, music albums, eBooks, online workshops, themes, and plugins on your site.
  5. You can also use your blog as a content marketing tool to drive traffic to your business website.

So, these were some answers to your query on how to make money from blog and believe me, all these are highly rewarding in the long run. Nothing in the blogging industry can be achieved instantly. Work hard and explore yourself first! Hence, first, prepare a successful blog and then, make the most of it.
