  • How to start a profitable blog from scratch in 2021 (ultimate step by step for beginners)
    Did you know there are people in these internet streets who make 5 figures, 6 figures and even 7 figures with their blog?! Blogging is still profitable (yup, even in 2021!) and yes, you can absolutely start a profitable blog from scratch today.
    Disclaimer: Blogging is not a get rich, quick scheme. It requires hard work, consistency, patience, and strategy. Today, I’m sharing how you can not only launch a blog but make money with it too!
    You ready?!

    First, I have a confession… blogs don’t make money.
    Nope, I didn’t make a typo there. Blogs don’t make money. Businesses do. So if your blog is not a business, it’s going to be pretty freakin’ hard to earn money with it.
    Your blog should have a strategy as to how revenue will be earned (will you sell a product? Offer services? Cash in with affiliate links?) as well as a business plan (who is your target market?). So as you create this blog, think from a business aspect…. not a hobby aspect.
    Hobbies are things we do simply for fun when we feel like it.
    A business is something we are dedicated and committed to. We push through even when we don’t feel like it because we earn money with it or plan to in the near future.
    Before you decide to start a profitable blog, truly commit to it. No half-stepping, luke-warm, sorta-kinda, so-so, maybes allowed.

    This page may include affiliate links, meaning at no extra cost to you, I might earn a small commission if you decide to purchase something.

    STEP 1: How to figure out your blog niche
    Gone all the days where you write your blog like a Dear Diary article. Blog posts should answer questions and provide valuable content to readers. If you want to start a profitable blog then you should know that blog posts shouldn’t be about you, they should be about the reader.
    Just like this specific blog post is helping you solve a problem (ie: how to start a profitable blog!), your blog post should do the same (answer a question). So the first step to starting a profitable blog is figuring out what exactly you will blog about.
    blog posts shouldn’t be about you, they should be about the reader
    Pick a niche when it comes to your blog. A niche that solves problems and you know enough about to be able to write about consistently. I personally believe any niche where you solve a problem (and people are willing to pay for a solution) is profitable. So no, your niche doesn’t have to be popular but it should be profitable.
    Popular blog niches:



    * Beauty
    * Travel
    * Fitness
    * Food
    * Finance
    * Fashion
    * Relationships
    * Career
    * Gaming
    * Politics
    * Home Decor
    * Entrepreneurship
    * Love & Relationships
    * Hair
    * Family & Home
    * Photography
    * Diets (Such as Keto, Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo)
    * Technology
    * Investing
    * Lifestyle Humor




    If you don’t have a lot of experience in a niche, please stay away from it. Don’t start a blog in a niche simply because you’ve witnessed others’ success in it. You have to actually enjoy what you’re talking about.

  • How to make make money with digital products
    People will pay for your expertise, experience, and education. A great way to monetize this is through digital products. Today, I’m sharing four profitable digital products to create and sell! The best part? Each digital product can be created in a single weekend!

    Digital products that you can make in one weekend!
    1. How to create and sell E-Books online
    E-Books were the first digital product I created and even today, 5 years later, it still serves as a source of passive income for me.
    When creating an e-book you first want to start with an outline of what you want the book to be about. Know what problem this book will solve and who is the ideal audience for this book.
    Once you have those questions answered and have an outline for the book then it’s time to do a brain dump. Write every single thing that you want in the book. Don’t worry about spelling, photos, formatting, or grammar yet. Just get the words out.
    Once your book is complete then you want to arrange the content according to the outline of your book. You can spell-check and format your book or you can pay someone to do this on websites like Fiverr where you can hire professionals as low as $5/ per project or via Upwork.
    If you just want to write the book and want someone else to do all the other tasks such as editing, book covers, and distribution, you can hire a publishing company.
    You can also use those sites to hire someone to create your book cover or you can create one yourself (and for free!) using Canva. The great thing about Canva is they have book cover templates that are already created for you. You simply just have to customize them!
    You can also purchase royalty-free images to use for your book cover via stock sites like Depositphotos and Pearl stock.
    NOTE: When using pre-made templates from Canva, I HIGHLY recommend customizing them and changing the colors, photos, and fonts. These covers are available to anyone meaning your cover can look like 56,038 other book covers. Therefore, make sure you are customizing your book cover if you choose to make it yourself.
    Once you have the book and cover done, save it as a pdf and sell it on Amazon (Kindle KDP).
    The great thing about selling it on Amazon is that your audience can download the digital version and read via their tablet or phone. Amazon also gives the option to create a physical version for your book so you can sell to people regardless of their book format preference.
    Another benefit of selling on Amazon is it makes it readily available since people just have to type in your name or the book name on Amazon or Google.
    The con, of course, is that Amazon does charge you a percentage of each sale.

  • Should I start a podcast, YouTube channel or blog?
    So you’re ready to start being a content creator but perhaps you’re wondering which THING to actually create content on?
    You’ve heard podcasting is hot.
    You’ve heard YouTube was great.
    Perhaps, you’re being told blogging is where it’s at.
    So now you’re wondering… which medium should you start?
    With so many options, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed so I’m sharing some pros and cons to decide if you should start a podcast, YouTube channel, or blog right now.
     
    Should You Blog, Podcast, or YouTube?
     
     
    Watch the video version here: Start a podcast, YouTube channel, or blog?

    When deciding which type of content is best for you there are a few factors you want to consider such as:
    1. What fits BEST for you?
    Do you have a way with words that moves people? Are you super animated with your actions and expressions? Do you love to talk? Certain qualities will align with certain mediums better.
    2. Which interests you the most?
    Does the thought of being on videos give you hives? If so, blogging or podcast may be better for you for obvious reasons.
    Perhaps you enjoy listening to podcasts and do it frequently? Then podcasting may be a better route for you to take.
    Think about which medium aligns with your interest but be careful not to confuse skills with interest. You may not be that skilled at creating videos BUT if being on video interest you then definitely look into it.
    3. Which medium is best for the content you are creating?
    What medium will work best for the content you are creating? For example, if you’re sharing interior decorating then blogging or videos may be a better medium since its visual. On the other hand, if you’re a comedian then starting a YouTube channel or podcast would probably be best since it focuses on the audio aspect.
    Think about which medium will benefit your type of content the best.

    Blogging
    If anyone tells you that blogging is dead they are either seriously misinformed or trying to keep all the blogging-money to themselves.
    Blogging is still profitable and a great medium to choose if you enjoy writing.
    Unlike creating a podcast or recording a YouTube video, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on equipment such as a camera or microphone. The only expense you truly have to get your blog up and running is a web hosting domain. Check out my step by step guide to starting a profitable blog.
    However, there are a lot of blogs so it does take time to build your blog up to where it’s making money and bringing in traffic.
    Also, gone are the days of writing blog posts like a dear diary page. If you want to make money with your blog then you will need to create blog posts that are geared towards helping the reader.
    Pros to blogging:

    * It’s a low-cost investment compared to YouTube and podcasting
    * You can update old blog post allowing you to create content that never expires
    * It’s profitable in a bunch of different ways
    * Can help establish you as an expert in a field

    Cons to blogging

    * It’s time-consuming and can take a longer time to grow VS other mediums
    * Not as personal as YouTube or Podcasting where you can hear and/or see the individual which helps to build a better connection with your audience
    * It can take a while to make money from your blog
