There are different reasons why people blog but in this article, I will focus on profitable blogging and how you can start making money from your blog even when you do not have experience.
How to start a profitable blog
Starting a profitable blog involves three things;
1. Choosing a profitable niche
There are three things to consider when choosing a niche that is;
- Your passion, experience, and expertise. You are more likely to persevere and become successful when you build a blog around your passion, experience, and expertise.
- Can you find someone who is already running a successful blog in the niche you do like to launch a blog in?
- Do you have a product or business in that niche and would like to use a blog to promote it?
- Choosing easy to rank domain name
How to choose an easy-to-rank domain name
Use a Search engine-friendly domain name where you combine relevant keywords together to form a domain name.
Establish a Brandable domain name where you form one from scratch like Google, Facebook, Tesla, etc.
2. Targeting the right audience
The final thing you will consider is the kind of audience you are targeting. The best kind of audience to target when starting and growing a blog are those with a huge advertising budget.
Now the question is how do you know those with huge advertising budgets?
The answer is simple, focus on a niche whose keywords have high CPC
The higher the cost per click in any niche, the more likely you are going to make money in that niche if you attract just enough traffic to it.
How to select the right keywords
To choose the right keywords, here are three strategies that have proven to work effectively.
- Trendy topics
- Timeroid techniques
- Evergreen content
Keywords chosen from these angles perform better on search engines
The next step is to get the short-tail keywords and then proceed to turn them into long-tail keywords
While you can do this manually, using a tool like a keyword everywhere in a chrome extension can make all the difference.
The Timeroid technique is a strategy where you write for the future long before the time comes. A typical example is;”25 business opportunities that will create millionaires by 2023”
Evergreen content does not have an expiry date. It can stay relevant as long as it can get.
How to Make Your Website Content Rank on Google
One of the reliable ways to make your content rank is to create many variants of long-tail keywords
Target “People also ask keywords”
Avoid keyword cannibalization (when you have many keywords pointing in the same direction or saying the same thing)
Assuming the title of your article is,
“21 easy ways to start business opportunities that will make you a millionaire by 2023″.
I used the qualifier “easy to start” to improve my headline and make my article distinct from what may have been in existence
Other qualifiers are
- Interesting
- Amazing
- Budget-friendly
- Hot
- Affordable
You can use these qualifiers to create long keyword variants inside the body and sub-headlines.
