It has happened not only to me but to a lot of my friends who thinks you can just set up a blog, add a few content and monetize it with Google AdSense and let the money flow every month..

Gone are the days when you see that happen. Before I set up this blog I have done a whole lot of research and figured what works and what doesn’t. You need to know your niche very well so you can write a good informative content your readers will enjoy reading before you even try to set up the blog in the first place.

I have got a little experience in the niche of internet marketing and make money online niche that is just the reason I set up this blog on how to make money blogging for beginners.

Back to why you should build a blog in the first, just take a blog from top bloggers’ website like neilpetel, shoutmeloud or even smartpassiveincome who pulls almost $200k every month from his blog that should give you a reason why you should start blogging today even now. Although, the journey of smart passive did not start in a day, I remember when I started reading smarts blog back in 2011, he is not making that type of figure but as the years go by through persistent and focus he has been able to achieve a whole lot. I call his website a COMPANY of its own.

That is just what the power of blog does. Well, its now our turn for the world to hear our voice through blogging.

How to set up a blog that makes money while you sleep
If you’re trying to set up money making blog you need to read this part of my series in starting a blog.
First you need to decide on the niche you can start blogging. They are many niches but the top 3 niches you may want to build a blog upon are:

1. Make money online
2. health or weight loss
3. Dating
Those three niches are money pulling niches, in fact, It’s a billion dollar niche and you start brain storming on the particular one to choose. Let say I chose the weight lose niche. You will need to decide on the particular category of it to build your website upon, e.g. dieting etc.

There are tools to help you do this both paid and free tool. If you’re on a tight budget you may want to go for the free tools, when you’re established in your niche and your keyword selection you can go for the paid option.

The Google keyword planner is at your rescue for the free tool. All you need to do is to sign in using your Gmail and go to straight to the keyword planner, enter a few variations and let the tool choose for you a good keyword with a good search. You will use that keyword to build your website and also use them to create content so when visitor come to your website they will have something to read.

You will be creating informational articles to their problems. They have a problem while you have the solution. How you do it is that you will be recommending affiliate product to them and when a sale is made you have a commission. That is what we call ‘internet marketing’
The next thing you probably going to do are to buy a domain and hosting for your new business. Now, what is a domain you might ask? It’s like a business name, every business has a name to acknowledge them and hosting its where you store your goods just like a store in the virtual world.
You need to select a good and catchy domain that corresponds with your niche; A domain that is memorable. A good company I’ve been using for my entire website is bluehost.
Bluehost has it all. Starting with their monthly subscription most of the plan has unlimited bandwidth which you cannot see in other hosting company.
With a free domain that lets you start building your website in a matter of 10 minutes. Even the security features are top notch compared to other hosting company. I recommend bluehost to my entire student even for all newbie who are in dire need of finding the best hosting company to start their online business. Starting at $2.95 monthly, blue host still maintains my best to start building your career in the online world today.

When you are done, logging into your cpanel and visit the application icon, there you setup your website by clicking on wordpres. WordPress is a content management application that hold millions of webmasters websites all over the world. If you don’t know how to do it I can help you free, Just contact me to get started, There are even free videos on youtube showing you how to setup wordpress blog
After installing wordpress you will be given a link to logging to you dashboard, everything is quite easy . Get a good theme and install with a whole lot of plugins, wordpress dwells on plugins. There and then you can start creating useful content for your readers to attract them. If you don’t know how to write useful articles you can outsource the articles writing to freelancers on fiverr or iwriter and they will write for you. You should make sure your articles are the range of 800-1200+ words so you can get good traffic from the search engine. even many blog white up to 2500 word but as a beginner you should not do that, when you’re fully established in your niche you can even surpass your competitors.

You can now start to create backlink for your new website when your articles are indexing. Make sure you find somewhere to share the articles like social media. If you have good followers on facebook and twitter you can share your article every time you publish a new post. This will attract visitors to your website. Then and then you will look for a way to monetize your website. The best monetization is AdSense and affiliate networks like click bank or amazon based on your niche.

All you need is to visit the AdSense sign up page and fill the details of your name and country. It may take a few days or a week before you can get approval. Make sure your site structure is easily navigational. You will also need your articles to be up to 15-20 before Google AdSense will think of approving your website, even at that they will tell you the reason why your blog is not approved, but that is not the end of the world. You may want to try other AdSense alternative.

If adsense is not your liking you can use amazon or clickbank offers to monetize your blog. I would prefer clickbank because most of their products are digital products and its high converting, you can earn a commission of 75%.

All you need is your blog to promote the product by embedding it into your information post and displaying their banners on your website. That is how people like smartpassive and other big time bloggers are using it to make 6-7 figure income every month on the internet.

Let’s figure it out for you to make $1500 every month on the internet; If you continue to add useful information content of at least 2-3 every week ranging from 1000-1500 words I am sure you will tell your boss one day;’ goodbye I am not working again, I quite!

Let’s recap:
Choose a money making niche
Choose your keyword
Get a catchy domain and select a good hosting company
Build your website on word press platform
Add content and promote on social media and search engine.
That is all to it in making money from blogging and affiliate marketing. If you like my content you can share with your friend and maybe subscribe to my mailing list for more interesting content like this.
