Blog is just a personal website! Not more not less! There are lots of uses of blog. Having a blog of your own also gives you some credibility in some areas. People use their blog to share their knowledge, to share their ideas and views and yes, people use their blog to make money also! Earning from blog is second income for many people in world and it is the best way to earn from home. Well, in initial stages you do not need to pay a penny to start your own blog. You might want to take paid services after you start earning some money from it. Many women are also earning handsome income (in some cases this income might be greater than what their husband from a day job!). And believe me there are some peoples who make their five star living just by blogging (For instance Amit Agarwal whi blogs at labnol.com earn 15-20 Lakhs INR per month from adsense!). Isn't it a great thing to start!
Now many people know these facts and they want to start their own blog but million dollar question where and how? Yes it is the big question for new bloggers who wants to start their own blog. Actually I also have wasted a considerable amount of time for knowing the how and where to start blogging. In last 3-4 years I have learnt many things started many blogs with one or two posts then applied for Adsense and got rejected! You might not believe but my Adsense application is got rejected more than 100 times literally before I got finally approval. And the reason behind that was because I was not following the simple terms and conditions for Adsense approval. So lets see where and how to start your own blog:
  1. Choose your niche topic for blogging:
  2. What does it mean? Choosing a niche topic might not be difficult but it is the first and most important thing while you are starting your own blog.This is the subject you are going to write thousands of article at one place. You have to write on different topic but the topic must from your selected niche. If you find difficult to write on only one niche you might want combine them. For ex: if you are writing a blog on computer tricks and tips you can include another niche topics like internet tips and tricks, websites, social media tips and tricks. You must remember two things:One is to choose the niche on which you have command and you are very good at that and second is if you are combining the two niches then try combine Only related niches in blog.
  3. Choose the host:
  4. If you are starting a blog you need a host to host your blog on web of internet 24*7, 365 days. There are lot of free services like Blogger (From google), Wordpress and many more. If you are confident about making money from your blog then you can choose one of the top 5 web hosting service provider in india. Even if you don't have much money then here is the list of top 5 cheapest web hosting service providers in india. Hosting provider are very important part your blog. Depending upon their service and quality your blog can reach maximum users. In my opinion if you are beginner and if you want to make money then using blogger is best option. After getting some success in earning money through your blog you can move to other private web hosting service providers with backing up all of your content from blogger blog. Also wit a free account on blogger you can apply adsense adds on your blog. Here is the comparison between blogger and wordpress. But remember owning your blog on paid hosting service is always better than using free hosting services.
  5. Keyword research:
  6. Before writing any post you need to do some keyword research. Keywords are the words or phrases which we type in text box of search engine to get results of particular websites containing the information about words or phrase we entered in search engine. Keyword research will provide you information about how many times a particular keyword is being entered in search engines with its demographics. There are lot of keyword research tools available on the internet. Some of them are free and some are paid tools. You will find information top free keyword research tools here. Depending upon the keyword data you can define suitable title for your post and you can construct sentences so as include that particular keyword in your blog post.
  7. Never copy from other websites:
  8. If you have not followed step one properly then after writing some posts you might stuck at particular point. If you do not have enough knowledge in the subject on which you are blogging this condition will definitely arise! And in this case you might try to copy the content from other websites which may create lot of trouble for you. First your Adsense account may be terminated! Secondly the original owner of content may sue for copying his/her content. There are lot of tools on internet which can find exactly (With line numbers!) from where you have copied the content. So if you are looking for some long term reputation and earning from your blog then avoid copying content from any other website. Although you may refer sometimes the content on other websites but copying should be completely avoided and remember it is legal offense to copy content from other websites if you do not have written permission from the owner.
  9. Get some information about blogging resources:
  10. There are some blogging resources available on the internet and are free! Like keyword research tools, blog directories, blog promotional tools etc. If you want to reach to the maximum audience then you should use these resources so as to make your blog more popular. You can join 3-4 blog communities which will give some valuable feedback as well as some promotion.
  11. Give attention to your blog design:
  12. Your blog's design should be as simple as possible. Users should be able to navigate between your posts easily and color scheme should not be annoying. Also even if you want to make money from your blog keeping to much advertisements and too much pop adds will also distract your users and they might not return to your blog the next time they see your blog's url. Actually one pop up and 3-5 add units are enough to earn handsome income from your blog. Remember ultimate users are the mainly responsible generating revenue and your goal should be to keep them happy forever!
Blogging is not the one or few day's task! You have to be committed and you should be ready to spend enough amount of time for blogging. It takes time to display your blog in search engines and you have to be patient. Also keeping your blog updated in your niche also important to get some traffic. You need to spend at least six months to start earning good income from your blog. So if you have patient, if you are ready to dedicate some time and if you are willing to give the quality information then you can start blogging and earn an handsome income!
