Why should you start a Blog?

Friends Blogging has the Incredible potential to change your life as it changed mine. I started my blog as fun during my 9-5 job days as a Software Engineer in Wipro at Pune. But soon my blog started to grow and I left my job to become a full-time blogger and today I run more than 15+ websites. I have a whole team to manage those Websites. And Client base which is not limited to any country.

A blog can help you create a passive income on Autopilot. So you can sit and relax. But the thing you won’t be able to out of excitement and desire to try more.

People think you need to have some degree and grasp of Coding language to start your blog but that’s a myth in today’s world. There are 100s of people in the Blogging Industry who don’t have any coding knowledge and earn more than 100k dollars a year.

Blogging is not at all difficult/Complicated, all you need is some patience and Guidance. And the best part is all the information is freely available over the Internet. Any newbie/leyman can easily develop a neck for Blogging.

 

What is a Blog?

A blog is a platform that helps you to express yourself. But I won’t go in Definition and all Stuff.

In simple terms, it is a way to liberate every human being from the 9-5 job. You can blog while sitting in your home or your Bed. You don’t need a dedicated office and you can be running a million-dollar blog from your home.

What more comfort can any other job can offer in comparison to blogging especially for gamers.

 

Let’s talk about real Application.

Today’s internet is all about selling a product. Either you have a product that you can sell and earn money or you can help sell someone else’s product which is called affiliate marketing.

Today world has become a Global village and there no boundaries over the Internet. My websites sell products to people from all over the World.

Two popular ways to make money online is  Affiliate Marketing and Running Ads.

Example of Affiliate Marketing

Like you must have seen review websites, which have a link of Amazon or Flipkart. What they do is tell you about their product and the user has any interest in buying the product they click on the Amazon or Flipkart link and buy from their website, what you don’t get is those websites are getting nearly 8% of the user’s Purchase and this number varies from Product to product.

Earning through Ads

You can also monetize your Website with the Ad Network. There are various Ad networks in the Market right now but the most popular Network is Google Ads. Even this website is also monetized with Google Ads.

 

 How much does it cost to Start a Blog?

For starting a blog it cost you around 9$ (700 Rs)  which includes your domain cost for 1 year and Hosting cost for 1 month.

 

Step 1: Choose a Right Niche for Your Blog (Most Important)

 

Let me share a fact with you. 99% of the bloggers quit blogging in first six months because they select a niche which they are not passionate about or don’t have any knowlegde, they just try to copy others. Well blogging is a game of patience and analysis. You should be aware about what you are writing. Like many guys are excited in Gymming and building their physique so they can easily create a fitness blog. For example me, i have been doing blogging for 3-4 years. I learned all about it from internet so i have a blog about educating people to create Website and how to rank it over Google.

Basic Process is

Start a blog==> Keep working on it for atleast 6 month-1 year which needs you to research about your niche=> Once your blog gets a little popular==> Monetize it with affiliate Marketing and Ads ==> Start your Social Media Following ==> Once you get a Good Popularity ==> Launch your Products in your Niche (This is the point where people start earing their pot of Gold).

Let’s talk about popular Indian Website Shoutmeloud which is owned by Harsh Agarwal

As Marketing is expanding Globally and more and more people are coming Online. so I would say whatever niche you choose is profitable today. And it will be more profitable in the coming years.

Few Niche ideas are

Fashion

Health & fitness

Educational

Travel Blog

Computers

Instruments 

and much more.

Each one of them covers a huge domain of niches inside them.

 

Step 2: Choose a Good Domain

Domain  Name –  The domain name is the name of the website which user types in the browser.

Example Of Domain Name :

Apkpuff.com

Here ApkPuff is Domain Name

Consider you are starting a blog on Guitar. You are a musician and you are well aware of the instrument. so basically it becomes very easy for you to write. You just have to research a little bit.

Always remember your main keyword should be included in your Domain. It helps in the rankings of your website. Meaning if you are writing about guitars. You can buy a domain name like

Guitarspot.com or Guitarspot.in (For indians)

Guitarradar.com

Guitarsden.com

Guitarsaddict.com

 

Step 3: Choose a Good Hosting

Remember domain is the name of the website and hosting is the storage where you keep your Website. Hosting is responsible for the performance and speed of the website.

Choosing Good hosting is very important as it determines the feel of your Website to your User which is a number one priority in the Website Business.
