You must have heard the word 'blogging' but did you know the earning potential it gives.
Your achieving success in this field will take dedication, working hard with right strategies and putting effort brick by brick.
Those who say that you're going to earn a lot just in a while you start. I am sure that's wrong.
Because what I've found during my online earning journey is that hitting the jackpot is possible but remember that, you will go from $1 to $100 and then to $1000s, plus consistency is the key.
So, these explaination in the beginning were just to make you clearer, that this blog is based on stating the plain truth, not to make you day dream. Now, if you're done okay with these terms and conditions then let's begin!
What is Blogging?
- Your skills, advices and logical solutions which can help people shall be there and make sure that it's not derived by any already present sources.
To be honest, choosing niche can be complicated at times, and if you just directly jump into something you don't know then you're going to face obstacles; Undoubtedly!
Being clueless or not knowing it, doesn’t only says that you haven't heard about the topic; rather, it also means not having complete information about a topic.
And when we say 'blogging' then it primarily means, that you write what is in your experience. So you have to share your personal anecdotes to make a unique content.
This is why if you just write from looking at what people have written; you’re not going to get something special in your blog which means no value to the content.
For instance, let's consider a niche of money blogging:
For this niche, if you know the ways to earn money, and you've been reading about them in articles, that's one thing, however, if you haven't tried it yourself practically, you won't know that inch by inch progress, and since there are a lot of things that you need to take account for, while writing a blog because seemingly, these things would look so miniature, but in actual they are forming the links towards your growth.
Similarly, if you're starting out with medical website which is as challenging as walking on hot coals, you must be very careful.
Personally, I would say that you should be into that profession like for example a doctor, nutritionist, therapist, psychologist physiotherapist something like that so that you can present your real-time case studies, researches, experiences and then solutions to the target audience.
Furthermore, I would say is that don't plunge into a niche which is paying well unless you know it, otherwise it will be a waste of time for you. Either you'll end up changing your blog topic or devote time learning the whole niche topics which is 90% not possible.
Plus another very important point and relatable to most people. Look, I know that you haven't started your blog like 10 or 20 years ago but people have.
Mostly, the blogs we see now on top have begun in early to late 2000s means they had been maintaining from 10+ years. Getting regularly SEO, new updates plus, their domain is much older than us.
People are visiting them and obviously they are popular so all this has gained them trust in front of search engines, therefore whenever you will write a high volume keywords, their blogs are going to come at topmost and yours will be at lowers (to be honest, don't even know the rankings).
I myself is in this list, my blog do get indexed and they come on search engines but they are not always coming at top searches.
Therefore, for finding the niche in today's era the best thing is to find subsets, don't go for directly .
You should find a keyword which is not overly popular:
Yes, it is a important point to consider. I know that high-ranking keywords are being searched more and you will get more traffic, However, if you go for subsets which are lower in rank that will help you more.
Like I said for niches, the same is for taking blog topics too. You should take subset for example if I say you can mix online earning with some technological gadget and then explain or even you can take a part of that blog for example:
There are several blog niches you can work. For example:-
• Health
• Finance
• Business
• Personal blogs
• Fashion & Beauty
• Personal Advices
• Parenting
• Recipes
• Reviews (Different products)
e.t.c.
Your blog shall follow some steps:
How Can you Write Good Content?
I've noticed a lot of people asking about this solution. Despite writing content that suits to Adsense guidelines. Still many people find it difficult to get approved. It seems that even when they ensure their content is free from plagiarism, address copyright issues, and maintain good image quality, they continue to face challenges in getting Adsense approval.
The reason is that you do follow those guidelines but writing good content requires a lot of hard work.
First Step No.1:
Planning:
I am sure that most of you might not recognise that how much planning counts in your blog. Drafting your blog is not that big deal as much as planning is.
The logic behind planning is because that makes your content organised and as far as your content is organised it will stay meaningful to the people subsequently this will gain you long time span of reading and this in returns weighs heavily for earning good money.
Additionally, planning shows that your blog is less scattered which shows your professionalism. This is important for adding a sign of credibility to people. Secondly remember that, successful blogs are written by two or three times roughly and then are drafted into original form.
Never make that mistake of writing your first thought into final form. If you’re doing so, then don’t think that it’s professional because that’s going to be your draft and of course, no one can be that pro in writing that their first hand written is all fit. Everyone needs to brainstorm their ideas and then gather them after all they put them in a piece of paper but again I am telling in a logical manner.
This is what I've recognised so far!
Now let me make it plain to you that how do you plan? Planning is just like as if you're giving a military strategies or even I will say a business development strategies.
You need to be clear cut sure for your goals that what you want to write for. It could be to inform, persuade, or entertain or what?
First this is the main thing, if you mix your style and that actually happens when you’ve not planned things yourself then your tone will get mixed up in the blog and the voice of your blog will tell that the author is confused while writing.
Lets say I have chosen a money blogging niche, where I have to tell people about the blog topics related to:
- Finance
- Profitable businesses
- How to save and utilize money?
Now this is a topic which can earn you well. But I chose it because I have done these things practically myself so that is why I am writing this blog. Although, I'll admit the fact that competition is too high.
Google Adsense also pays for it, plus readers are also wanting to see these tips. So, users will find these headings attractive and would likely click it and time span would increase if its engaging at the same time. Engaging for a long time means that users experience is positive and they’d give you a good response such as increasing in subscriptions, emails, or commenting down or purchasing the products from your affiliate links.
According to Adsense, its said that it payments may vary from blog to blog however, roughly estimated have been shown here:
Here will be the users location present called as North America probably USA, if you receive audience from there then you’re likely to get highest paid among all the other continents:

This is annually and the niche is Finance, this means if its calculated in monthly, you just divide:
$19,278/12
= $1,606.5
This amount has been calculated on 50,000 views per month. However, be sure that this is just a rough estimation as the number of clicks and things all count. However, below I’ve mentioned what are income sources.
Good Content refers to a high-quality content. There are certain things you need to avoid to make your new blog post of a high-quality.
- Don’t mention the outlines of your blog post. Go into depths.
- It should seem as if you’re understanding the topic and you’re talking to your audience.
- Make it informative, with understanding what your targeted audience wants. Combine evidences and proofs while you inform the people.
- Make your writing style with latest trends, and making it in simple words. So that the new readers and beginners can also get well informed from it.
Second thing do keywords research and use them but don’t stuff them, which shows that you’re writing content only for the purpose of keyword usage. Here is a example of keyword stuffing: “You will Learn the best monetization strategies for your website with our comprehensive guide on monetization strategies, covering so many monetization strategies to increase your online earnings potential." Here the word monetisation strategies is being repeatedly used.
What blogging platform you want to use:
You can choose either blogger, WordPress, or medium or wix as a blog platform. However, if you’re joining blogger you can go for free but there are restricted limit of images to add due to its update issues. Otherwise you’ll have to buy packages for those websites which I’ve told you, but, they’re modern and can afford more load with more fast loading systems and all which is less as in compared to blogger.

Does your blog needs domain?
Blog needs domain. Your domain name matters a lot, its same when you register a company’s name. You niche, your representation will be the domain name. Try to take a attractive and short domain name, however, there are some paid domains and som free like Blogger, or wordpress.com. The difference is that they’ve some restrictions which are free, the Url would look like (blogspot.com) after the name. However, if you’ve paid for it only the your name would be seen for example (gkonlineearning.com) otherwise its (gkonlineearning.blogspot.com)
What are the different ways to earn from blogging?
In a blog, when you are approved by Adsense or any other reputable ad company. You’re likely getting ads. However, if I say for Adsense you get paid by different methods for example cost per click (CPC), Cost per thousand Impressions (CPM), Cost per Action (CPA), Revenue Shares.
Let me explain one by one what they mean.
Cost per Click (CPC): You earn a revenue every time when someone clicks to the relevant ads on your website displayed. However, this is done by Adsense once you’re approved. This amount we earn can vary on different factors such as advertiser biding, the ad’s relevance, keywords or topic you’ve chosen, and of course the quality of blog traffic. The people who engage with your ads by clicking it will be rewarded.
However CPC is measured by click through rate also called as CTR. This is used for measuring the percentage of users who click on a specific link out of the total number of users who view a page, email, or advertisement. This is calculated by dividing the number of clicks by impressions (or views) multiplying by 100. These are important because it occur when the blog participates in advertising networks such as Google AdSense or affiliate marketing programs. If the blog displays ads or affiliate links, the blogger can earn revenue based on the number of clicks those ads or links receive, which is measured by CTR.
Cost per millie or per thousand impression: It is the term that represents that advertisers will pay on every 1000 views to ads. This is when ad just appears that much time to the readers.
CPA: This is when advertisers pay for specific actions such as when someone buys something from their ad however, this pay is to the publisher so good luck to you if someone buys something from the appearing. However, this works only when someone purchases a product
What are Other Ways of getting Paid?
• Sponsored posts: People wants you to write their articles, blogs or other types of content which is paid by advertisers or sponsors. In this they tell them to create content on their own products, services and brand to promote it. This is a good way of getting paid.
• Affiliate Marketing: In a blog, you can keep some products according to what your targeted audience would like to see, you can use websites such as amazon.com to select different items link them down and earn commission through it if people buy it.
If you want to learn more about how to do Affiliate marketing I will link the blog in the end.
Even if you’ve your own online store you can link physical products there too and tell people properly that if they click that link they can purchase the product and you’re going to earn commission money through it.
