A blog is actually a world of information for the people by the people. A blog can be an informational website. Sharing your collected information with the entire world via a blog is well-known as Blogging(Definition by Shehroz Naeem). A lot of people got confused in A Blog & Website. A blog is also a website but it includes only information & knowledge about anything. The pure website includes products, blogs, information, and many things.

Should You Start a Blog Now?

A common misconception among beginners is you need writing skills while starting a blog or writing a blog.

Most People read the blogs to get a personal experience by bloggers on things.

You don’t need to be an expert of anything to start blogging. You just need a little experience in anything.  Let’s suppose you know how to cook pizza you can start a blog on pizza cooking.

His brand new blog just earned 5000$ in 5 months.

The Personal Blog/Expert Blog. The personal blog includes all the stuff about you. You share your experienced things and your learnings with your audience. The blog shares your expertize with the world that’s why I call it an expert blog. A personal blog should have a domain with your name.

You have chosen your topic? It’s time to choose a domain name

#2 Registering Domain

A good blog name should include the topic keyword in it. If you wanna blogging about cars You blog should have keyword Car in the blog name. For example, You wanna blog on weight loss. You have different opinions in it You can choose a domain “YOURNAMEWeightlosstips.com” (Replace “YOURNAME” with your real name in the domain name) or “FatburningbyYOURNAME.com”. A lot of other names can be created like this. You can also choose a domain name with including your keyword and your name as well.

If you don’t find the domain name in .com extension you can try .org .net as well. You can also use a hyphen in the domain name. A hyphen domain name should be like that Shehroz-Naeem.com which is cool.

You can also use some smart words like “The” “With” “I” “A”. For example, If I don’t find a domain with my name in .com extension I will add “WeightlossWithYOURNAME.com”.

My Recommendation is .com extention.

Check your domain name availability Now.

Marketing:

—> Social Media Startup Boost

Social media is proven very powerful marketing. Promoting blogs via facebook, twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, & all other social media is gaining tons of visitors daily.

Share your amazing content & create your trust among social media audience.

Pinterest is proven as a very powerful source of traffic. A lot of bloggers are getting tons of traffic via Pinterest daily.

I highly recommend Pinterest to gain traffic fast. 

Note: Social Media is for sharing content, not for spam. Don’t try to blast your content in groups, pages, etc.

—> Engage Others

In marketing sharing content is the most powerful thing. This is two-way marketing tactics. People who are connected with you will appreciate the attention you will provide.

Share their content, engage them with you. When you will post some new blog they will share your content as well. That’s how your circle will increase day by day.

—> Guest Blogging

Referral traffic is powerful marketing for bloggers! One of my most favorite & best method of getting traffic is guest posting on the relevant blogs. Some Blogs offer a content link for guest bloggers! some provide a link back to your site in the aurthor box. Both are powerful to try to write guest posts and increase your traffic.

Allow guest post on your blog as well. It doesn’t increase only traffic it builds relations with other bloggers.

—> Groups, Communities & Forum Answers

There are a lot of groups on social media and a lot of forum sites on the internet. Just join groups which are relevant to your blog and help people. You can post your relevant content link in the answer. It will not only increase your traffic it will also increase your circle and followers.

When you do comment on blogs, you got attention from that blog owner & readers. If your comment is found helpful they check out your profile and visit your blog as well. Some times blog owner offer you to write a guest post.

#7 Monetizing Blog

Monetizing a blog is really the most important thing in Blogging! If you don’t wanna monetize your blog you will never earn money.

There is two simple way to monetize your blog.

• Promoting Affiliate Offers (Recommended)
• Showing Ads on Blog

Promoting Affiliate Offers(Recommended):

Promoting affiliate offers and making money thought it is well known as affiliate marketing. In affiliate marketing, you promote some products and earn a commission.

Let’s suppose you have created a blog on weight loss, you will promote some weight loss products through your blog and you will earn a commission from it.

Affiliate marketing is my most favorite thing in blogging.

Can I earn through affiliate without having experience?

The most amazing thing about Affiliate marketing is we don’t need the experience to do It.  Because it is very simple & easy. Experience in affiliate is not a necessary thing. You can earn via affiliate with zero experience.

 Without having experience in affiliate marketing, I earned 494$ in 1 Month.

I need investment for affiliate marketing ?

You only need some bucks to host your blog with Bluehost. If you promote it through ad networks (like Google Ads) so you need investment, or if you purchase some extra thing for your WordPress blog like plugins, themes, etc. otherwise, you don’t need a single penny.

How to do Affiliate Marketing:

In the market, there is a lot of platforms where you can do affiliate marketing. For beginners, I will recommend Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate) and the Amazon Affiliate Program.

You can see CJ Affiliate Dashboard in the snapshot. There are a lot of products which I can promote.

To promote them just have to click on Join Program & your application will be submitted.

There are some approved advertisers “Interserver” you can see I can direct get links to promote their product.

Showing Ads on Blog:

You can also earn money by showing ads on your blog. There are a lot of companies which offer ads to show on the blog and give us money. But one of the most popular & trusted ads company is Google Adsense.

AdSense is the selection of 2 million individuals. In 2015, Google paid $10B to their publishers showcasing the facility of AdSense that’s as a result of hundreds of thousands of advertisers compete for advert area.

How to Make Money via AdSense (Sign up here for Adsense)

Whereas the web is filled with choices, Google AdSense is one of the highest and by far essentially the most dependable. All you need to do is the right analysis, produce high-quality content material and create an AdSense account.

Google AdSense is the best platform to monetize your website visitors by displaying adverts in your web site alongside the common content material. When adverts are seen or clicked, you’ll earn some bucks.

Google AdSense has some guidelines that you need to follow with all of the associated Google policies as they have an inclination to alter it sometimes. This isn’t a full listing however following insurance policies are commonest and important to abide by to maintain a bona fide account.

You know extra concerning the commercial, you could comply with the usual process of typing the URL of the advert into your browser. Never click on the Ads running on your own blog by Adsense (It’s against Adsense policy).
