HOW TO START UP A BLOG THAT MAKES MONEY IN 2020 , THE BEST GUIDE.

If you are looking for a step by step guide on How to set up a blog and make money from it, then you are at the right place.I have being blogging and on this guide you will follow up and set up your blog.

If you don't yet know What a blog is and how it works, you will probaly first ask yourself this questions.

📎What is a blog ?

A blog is a regularly updated site where new content is frequently published and updated and its  typically written in an informal  style with the main goal of attracting readers and generating traffic then an online income.

📎Should i start blogging ?

Yes! Starting a blog is one of the easiest and most accessible ways to launch your own business and earn an income online (from anywhere in the world). You don’t need to je a professional writter or an experienced developer, or a degree in order to blog and become successful with it. You can start blogging regardless of your age, location or experience level and still build a profitable online business.

For a first you need to pick a name and niche for your new blog.

The name of your blog is what readers will see first (like yourblog.com), so it should ideally represent either the general topics you’ll be writing about or it could be your own name, that representin your business or otherwise.

Your blog’s niche is the general topic area that you’ll be focusing your content around.for  examples include topics like travel, food, fashion, lifestyle, technology, and otherwise.

This are the main things to consider whaen choosing your blog's business niche.

From step 1-- to -- 6 involve steps involve in choosing a main value contents niche for your business blog or website.

1.What is your blog purpose?

Before you start on any of the technical steps of how to get a blog up and running, I think it’s worth taking a big picture look at what the purpose of your blog is.

This first step may seem simple, but it’s actually quite critical.

2.Are you just blogging for fun?  Or do you      hope that perhaps someday your blog will make some money?

If you want to make money from your blog, or if you simply want to leave the door open to the idea of your blog making money, then you should consider a few things first.  You need to determine if the blogging platform you are using allows you to make money (some don’t).

You also need to think about if there is any one  interested in the topic that you want to blog about.  (If you are just blogging for fun, then it really doesn’t matter).

But for now, just ne sure your blogging with a main motive of increasing your passive income. If so, move onto the next steps.

4.Decide What to blog about ?

Ah, finding your passion.  This can be a deep question.  

You need to pick something that you will care about longer than the next day, week, or even year.  You should shoot for something that you believe you will still be interested in learning about or making a impact on, in even a couple years from now or longer.

Perhaps you are lucky and already know exactly what you want to blog about.  If so, congrats! You can move onto the next step.

However, for many people, it can be tough to know exactly what they want to blog about.  Should you start a food blog, a fashion blog, or cover some other topic?

One thing to realize, is that you know yourself best.  You will know what is the best topic for your blog.  However, it might just take a little bit of digging for you to come to that realization.

However, perhaps you are now staring at a blank page wondering what you should actually write about.

have 3 general guidelines that I’d like to share with you today that will put you head and shoulders above most bloggers out there.  If you follow these 3 ideas for writing on your blog, you will be much better off than if you just write about “whatever I feel like today”.

1.Focus on keywords – Write about topics that people are searching for on Google.

2.Follow Your Passion: Write about what you are passionate about.

3.Replicate Shareable Success: Write about topics that other bloggers have had success with (i.e. shareable content).

And if you can do all 3 of these things in one blog post, then you will have hit a massive homerun!

So, if you are stuck for what you should blog about ask yourself these 3 questions:

🔈What are people searching for on Google that I can write about?

🔈What am I passionate about?

🔈What are some popular blog posts from other bloggers that I could write similar content about?

Now that you have the basics, I am going to walk through an example to show you exactly how this works.

So, what are people searching for on Google related to Marathons (insert your own blog topic here)?

Perhaps you didn’t know, but Google actually shares quite a bit of information with you if you know where to look for it.

Have you ever noticed that when you start to type something into Google, they will populate several suggestions?  These suggestions are actually popular searches on Google and typically are in order of most search volume (how many f search for that phrase each day/month).

5.Those your blogging topic have a high searching rate.

If you are going to start a blog that actually gets an audience, you should probably determine if anyone is interested in your topic before you pull the trigger and set up a blog (which I will get shortly).

For example, 

Don’t make that mistake by spending hours and hours of time on a project, only to determine six months later that no one really cares.

A free tool that I really like to use to see the interest levels in certain subjects is going up or down is google trends.  This awesome tool shows you whether more or less people are searching for a certain subject.

6.Follow up your passion.

Another way to decide what to write about is to simply brainstorm what you are passionate about.  For example, right now I’m passionate about trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon, so on my site I would write about how to qualify for Boston.

So, if you can convey your conviction for a topic that you will believe will resonate with your readers, go for it!  After all, you need to have some freedom to just write what you want to write about sometimes, even if you do don’t do all the keyword research.

Just be authentic, write about what excites you, and you will often find that others agree with you.

📎📎Get your blog online hosting( many exist nawaday's ).

Another main and important step in starting a business blog, is actually getting your blog online. That’s what a web hosting company will do for you. In this step, you’ll be selecting the blogging platform and web hosting plan you’ll use to get your blog online.

You must ne probably asking yourself this questions.

🗑️What is web hosting ?.

For your website or blog to be  accessible to other people on the Internet, you need a “host.” The host keeps all your website files safe, secure and makes sure that people can access your blog when they click on a link or type in your URL. 

Think of web hosting as being like your home that need a land to settle on earth. When someone comes over (types in your blog’s URL), they’ll be able to see what’s inside.

🗑️How much costs a web hosting services ?.

Web hosting comes at a low cost (around $5/month) with a high quality hosting provider like bluehost.

Having a proper  and good hosting company to power your blog is also one of the most important investments you can make when getting started but others plattform like blogger provides free hosting services.

🗑️ What is the best free web hosting to choose in 2020 ?.

There are many severals great web hosting providers you can use to host your blog (on a budget). The company I’ve found that best checks all of the key boxes (and more) for new bloggers is Bluehosts. 

Regardless of who you choose, you should be looking for a web hosting company that prioritizes speed, features, security, support and a reliable track record.

The combination of blogging platform & web hosting I personally use (and that most other bloggers use) is a WordPress blog, hosted by bluehosts. 

WordPress is a free publishing platform that’s been around since 2003 and now powers more than 60% of all blogs on the Internet. Bluehost is one of the most established, reliable companies in the blog hosting industry.

But if you don't yet have income the blogger Platform by google provide free hosting services to bloggers.

7.Replicate sharable Success.

The final idea for discovering what you should write about next is to find what other bloggers are doing that is successful and try to do similar things.

I don’t mean copy.

What I mean is that if another blogger has written about a unique topic that appears to be getting shared alot on social media, you should look into writing about the same or similar topic, but provide your own unique spin or angle on the subject.

The basic idea here is that if people on social media are excited to share a subject on “Foods that make you faster at running”, then they are likely to share your content as well that is on a similar topic.  You should take notice of this and see if you can do something even better!

Maybe you write an article on “7 Desserts That Actually Make You Run Faster”.  (I just made that topic up, but as a runner, I’m pretty sure I’d click on that title and share it!)

One way to stay on top of what is “going viral” on social media is to follow other bloggers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or wherever the typical bloggers share their content in your particular niche.

You will be able to see how many likes, pins, or shares a particular piece of content is getting, and you should take note of these more popular posts.

Another way to see what is shareable content is to use a tool like BuzzSumo.

How to promote your blog to get more traffic.

content that you know other bloggers have had success with is a great way to get the promotion of your blog started.

Here’s 5 Ways that I would recommend promoting your blog to get new readers to start.

🔈Be active on social media. At first, just start  with one social media site.  Definitely post  your own content (where appropriate), but also be active on other bloggers pages and be as helpful as possible.  When you find the time, you can always branch out to other social media platforms.

🔈Leave blog comments.  

Please be smart about this and don’t spam anyone; however, leaving a real genuine comment on someone elses website can be beneficial to both of you!  The blogger gets great feedback from a reader (you), and you get to leave a link to your blog (typically).  This is common practice, and if you are always searching out new blogs in your niche, you can easily find 4 or 5 blogs to comment on each day.

This can put you on the radar of other bloggers as well as allow other readers to find you.  This is an excellent strategy to get your first core readers when your are first starting out with your blog.

🔈Email outreach to other bloggers or podcasters in your niche. 

This works especially well if you have first left a blog comment or two on their blog.  You can often find a contact form that you can use to email the blogger and let them know how much you’ve enjoyed reading their blog.

If you sincerely enjoy their blog, that will come across in your email.  You should email them with no other intention than to start building a friendly relationship as a fellow blogger in the space.  Down the road this could lead to things like guest posting opportunities, links/mentions about your blog on their blog, partnerships and many other things.

And if you don’t mind being interviewed and have something to share or are truly an expert in your area, I would strongly recommend reaching out to podcasters in your niche! Podcasters are often looking for great guests, and perhaps you have an interesting perspective to share.  This will often get your name in front of thousands of listeners that might be interested in reading your new blog.

🔈Be active in forums or other question and answer sites.  

Every niche has a forum associated with it where people discuss and ask questions.  Just go to google and type in your niche + forum, and I’m sure you will find lots of great options.

For example, if I do a search for “marathon forums”, I can easily find a dozen running forums that I could join and start participating in.  (Ideally, you would just join 1 or 2 of the most active forums).

Again, you want to be as helpful as possible, and don’t be spammy.  However, many times these forums allow you to mention your site in your signature, and this can be a great way to help new readers find you.

🔈Build an email list.  Overtime, you will get more and more people coming to your blog.  Ideally, you can get these readers on your email list so that you can stay in touch with them as you create new content.

How does this help you promote your blog?  Well, for one it keeps your existing readers a way of knowing what you are up to.  Keeping current readers sticking around is very important.

However, as your email list grows, you will likely get other bloggers to join YOUR email list.  Then as you simply email your list, these bloggers may take note and decide to mention you on their blog or reach out to you for other promotional opportunities.
