How to start a blog and make money in 4 steps?

1. Choose the subject of your blog

2. Set your blog name

3. Write your first article

4. Make money with your blog

Let's start with the beginning :

What is a Blog?

A blog is a website that is regularly updated with new articles. Content is displayed in chronological order, most recent first. The writing style is quite conversational.

The purpose of a blog is to share a passion and generate income. 

Creating a blog is one of the simplest ways to create a small business: no need for a particular diploma, experience, or knowing how to write like Emile Zola, no none of that. You can start a blog whatever your age, your place of residence.

1- Choose the subject of your blog

Do you have a hobby? And you want to get started on the web?

Here are some tips to help you define the subject of your blog: 

• Break down your niche.

• If, for example, your theme is cooking, you can easily break down the subject: recipes, ingredients, utensils, etc.

• Your theme should be fast and responsive.

• The kitchen interests many people. But the subject is very competitive. We will have to think about referencing your site.

• You can sell saucepans, for example, if your subject is cooking.

• Look on the Amazon site to see if the site offers:

• enough products in your theme,

• If they are well-rated, appreciated, and bought by Internet users, Amazon will give you a percentage of the sales made. It is, therefore, necessary that the products are numerous, of good quality, and appreciated.

 

You will be able to promote well-rated products (4 stars out of 5, for example) that interest Internet users.

2- Choose the name of your blog

Have you thought about the name of your blog? We will also discuss the choice of hosting and blogging platform in this chapter. For more information, see our article: How to design my blog?

3- Write your first article

Your blog is installed but not yet online. Wait until you have written enough content to put your site online. Write between 20 and 30 articles because if your site is blank, it will be ignored by Google, and that's not what you want! Because if Google does not index the pages of your site, you will not have visitors or sales.

How to write your first article? 

You have chosen your theme; break it down into a sub-category.

Your theme is cooking; consider writing content on:

• Type of recipes: Starter, main courses, desserts

• Recipes according to the season

• Culinary techniques

• kitchen utensils

• The ingredients, how to choose them.

Your articles should be well written. They should be informative and valuable.

4- Make money with your blog

Can you make money with your site? Yes, you can.

My favorite method is affiliate marketing. With the Amazon Partner Program, the method is simple. You offer on your blog the products that other companies sell. And in return, you receive a percentage of your sales. Are you interested in this method?

How to register on Amazon partner?

• Create your Amazon account

• Then log in to Amazon Partners

• Once your account is approved, the site provides you with a Partner ID

• Configure payment methods in your account

• You have access to the Partners links that you just need to integrate into your site.

Once your articles have been written and your Amazon links integrated on your pages, it is time to put your site online. Remember to work on your natural referencing and share your content on social networks so that Internet users can tell their friends about your site.
