It is very popular to start a blog and monetize it. In this article, I want to give you some ideas to make money blogging. First, you can read how to create your own blog and then I’ll tell you some ideas on how to make money from it.
Start a blog
If you’re going to blog, you need a blog, right? I recommend that you start a blog on WordPress. You have to pay for a domain name and a web hotel. It’s a small investment, but you get a nice-looking blog and you can change everything on your blog however you want. Go Daddy’s advice to register your domain name and Hostgator for your web hotel. They are large companies with good service and affordable prices.
The topic of your blog
The first thing to think about is the topic of your blog. What are you going to write about? I suggest something you like and have as a hobby. You write with more passion when you write about something you love to do. If you just pick the topic that makes the most money, chances are you’ll get bored and stop blogging after a while. Some suggestions for topics are:
Gardening
Design
dog training
Run
How to lose weight?
If you start a tech blog with an idea to make money, you have to meet people’s needs. You can’t write about what you made for breakfast or how your day went. When writing, you need to consider the needs of your readers.
