How Do I Start a Free Blog and Make Money
One of my subscribers asked me to write about How do you start a free blog and then make money off it.
There are many aspects to starting a blog and then making it famous over time. It needs consistency, unique content every other day, your passion to write on a topic and knowledge of SEO and then how to make money off your blog. I will try to write and touch all topics in this blog post & I would also recommend some programs to start your online journey. Every piece of the puzzle is important in your online growth. Every important element of the bigger picture plays an important role. Now when I say it, I mean it and I know exactly what I am talking about. I am blogger by profession with more than 5 years of online experience in Making Money online Niche. I know the loop holes and almost 90% of the ways available online to make money. Why 90%, well, I am being honest because the online world never sleeps and there are always new ways to make money off the internet. Coming back to the main point i.e. how do I start a free blog and make money. Now, first you need to notice and note down following things:
The topic or niche of the blog:
Select a topic or market/niche you are passionate about and you love writing or sharing about. For example. I love writing about making money online because I love it, I love making money online and I have spent years in the online market. So, what I am trying to say, is: Turn your passion into blogging. If you love UFC, make a blog about it and write about new events. If you love soccer, make a blog on it and start writing about it
Be honest with yourself:
By saying be honest with yourself, I mean to say that write the right thing and be real. If you are just making a blog on weight loss for the sake of making money off it, it’s better you don’t do it. Select the topic or subject you have knowledge of and you are passionate about.
Another important thing is the recommendation. If you recommend a product or program to your blog visitors, it should be useful to them. I would rather say, promote the products or programs you have tested yourself or you know will be highly useful for your visitor, after doing proper research on it. Make blogging real and fun..!
Basic knowledge of SEO:
This is a very important element for your online growth and if you are really serious about making money online, you need to learn SEO. I would give you a simple yet powerful technique to learn. Spend 15 minutes everyday on youtube searching about how to do Search Engine Optimization and I am sure that in a month’s time, you will be able to understand the whole concept and how things work online.

A healthy way to earn money off your blog is to get adsense or media.net ads approved for your blog. Once your free blogger blog has more than 60 unique articles or blog posts, apply for adsense account and start getting paid for placing ads through google on your blog. Let me also add here that your blog should have more than 60 unique posts with more than 1000 words each. Your blog design should be professional and good looking. The interface should be easy for the visitor to understand. Your blog should have contact us and about us/about me pages. I would say that in the longer run, you will have to buy a domain of your own and setup wordpress on it but starting a free blog and making money on it is possible for sure.
