Most people just start writing random general blogs and after months of writing their blog isn’t getting much traffic. They stress and think blogging is dead. But if you write blogs on a specific niche having 5-6 broad topics, then you can get high traffic and make money out of it. Also, think about a good blog name that attracts users and gives an idea about what your blog is about.
But what if you don’t find a good niche or blog name? Don’t panic, try and test is the best method I can suggest to you.
Just write different blogs and post them online and see which blog gets high traffic, which blog has a high CPM, and which blog you enjoy writing eventually you are going to write hundreds of blogs with time so make sure you love your category.
So finalize the niche that has a combination of good traffic, and good CPM, and you enjoy writing those blogs.
Niche = [ Good Traffic + Good CPM + Enjoy Writing]

2. Write Your First Blog Post
When you initially start writing out a blog, you crash at every step thinking about the title, how to research topics, on what should be the heading or subheading. There are lots of obstacles that come to your place, but one thing you have to remember is to complete your first blog.
Then see what are the mistakes in this blog, think about how I can add more value to the blog, and what if I give more subheadings to that topic.
By this just practice writing more blogs, and you build confidence in your own that I can write more wonderful blogs.
3. Get Your Blog Online (Web Hosting)
As you pick your niche and write your first blog, it’s time to get your blog online.
That’s what a blogging platform and web hosting company will do for you.
Now you’ll have to choose a blogging platform and a web hosting plan, by this your blogs will get online.
The blogging platform I suggest to you is WordPress blog and is highly recommended. By this, you have to not worry about any coding or any other issues WordPress will manage it for you.
The Bluehost hosting plan is a great choice for you.
4. Give a Good Design to Your Blog
A lot of bloggers complain that users quickly exit their blogs rather they post excellent quality content, on examination, I found out that they have a very poor design theme and cannot have an eye-catching appearance.
Users didn’t show any interest in his content and the end bloggers didn’t earn much money.
So keep in mind you also have a good appealing design theme on your blogs, by this your watchtime increases and the user stays for a much longer time in your blog.
You don’t have to worry about designing your theme, WordPress blogs have a large variety of popular themes by which you can choose it.
5. Promote Your Blog in Social Media
Once you write your blog and set up all things like hosting, and designing. It’s time to promote your blog and get traffic from various social media platforms.
A very long time before an insider of a very big blogging firm give me a tip. He said to invest time more in marketing your blogs than writing your blogs. This helps me a lot as you see there are a ton of bloggers giving the same information about the same topic but the one who makes money and invests more time in marketing his blogs on different social media platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, Medium, Pinterest, Reddit, Facebook, youtube, etc.
6. Make Money from Your Blog

Again some thought that I was lying but in reality, many bloggers sitting on their couches with a cup of coffee are earning this amount of money.
Yeah, it’s also true that to earn this amount of money they are grinding day and night working hard in those years.
