how to start earning from blogger or wordpress blog and adsence ? you can learn from hublancer

make any money with the blog or will I just invest hours and hours of work with no results

in my bank account?

Well, I know you are asking yourself these questions because I’ve been in your shoes

just a few years ago. I was looking up at some bloggers who replaced their day job with

blogging income in just 2 or 3 years and I was convinced that THEY were lucky to get

See how I know exactly what you are thinking? And here I am, making consistently over 35,000

dollars monthly with my blog, in the best months reaching about $40,000 in revenue.

And my business expenses are still very low. It’s a business with the highest ROI you

can imagine. And I do this while working from home, while having the time to spend with

my child and not being glued to the computer screen all day long.

I don’t know about you but I personally could never get another job to have THIS lifestyle

and this kind of income. And with blogging business - really the sky the is the limit!

I will show you later in this video all the details about different income streams I use

to monetize my blog. But for now, I hope I convinced you it’s worth your time watching

this video. One video like this can literally change your life.

It will be hard to make this video short but I tried to make all the information easy to

digest for you and layout out a step by step plan for you to your first $1000/mo with your

blog! I will tell you how to get this plan for free - at the end of the video, so stay

tuned.

Now, the first thing you need to do when starting a blog is decide which topics you’ll be

blogging about. In other words, what will be your niche.

1. Pick a Niche for Your Blog Beginners often make a mistake thinking about

niches. It’s easy to start a blog about whatever you experience in life, or about

your hobbies and not giving a though about whether or not this is a profitable topic.

But if you plan to actually make money with your blog, I recommend you to watch my video

that covers the most profitable blogging niches for this year. I’ll give you a link in the

description below this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dtnkfqRsJA

If you want to use a particular platform to drive traffic to your blog, for example, if

you want to start with Pinterest, you need to keep in mind that not all the niches do

equally well with Pinterest audience. It’s mostly female audience and so the niches that

do really great on Pinterest are: • Home Décor and DIY

• Recipes • Parenting

• Diets and Weight Loss • Lifestyle

• Beauty and Fashion • Relationship Advice

Even if you are not sure about a specific niche, Pinterest is actually the platform

that is not looking for narrowly niched websites like Google does. You can have a broad lifestyle

blog and take advantage of all trending topics on Pinterest to get as much traffic from this

platform as possible, even with a brand new blog.

This is why I strongly recommend anyone who is starting a blog learn about Pinterest,

and if you want to understand better HOW it can help you make money with your blog, then

watch my free Pinterest masterclass. I’ll give you a link in the top right corner and

in the description below this video. Now, the second step is choosing a domain

name for the blog. 2. Pick your Blog Name / Domain Name

The common sense rules that you should keep in mind when you are searching for a domain

name: • it should be short and easy to remember;

• avoid using numbers and hyphens in domain name;

• always strive to get a domain in .com zone, in the worst case scenario you can settle

with .co zone. Anything like .net or .biz is a bad idea for many reasons, I don’t

want to go too much into details in this video or else we’ll never move to the next steps.

If you want to know all the details and tips about choosing a domain name, I have another

video that will help you. The link will be in the description below this video.

• Ah and don’t use weirdly spelled or misspelled words just because the keyword

you wanted in not available as a domain. Wrong spelling will always confuse people

and they will end up on competitor’s site.

Generally, I think people tend to overthink the step of choosing a domain name. Your domain

can even be simply your full name if it’s not a very popular name. Under your name you

can blog about anything and you can switch the niche easily at any time.

3. Step: Technically Start a Blog Once you have an idea about your domain name,

you can go ahead and register your blog. The process will take you about 10 minutes if

you use my video tutorial, I’ll give you a link in the info icon and in the description

below this video.

Just two more things you need to choose when starting a blog.

1. One is called a content management system and for this I highly recommend you to stick

with Wordpress. It’s the most suitable for what a blogging website needs.

2. The second thing to choose is a hosting provider. For beginners, the best option in

my experience is Bluehost. Their plans are the most affordable, and they offer 24-hour

support though chat. You can even get a free domain name in the package with your hosting.

Check out the link in the description below this video because I partnered with Bluehost

and they provided an exclusive price for my followers.

4. Step Make Your Blog Pretty with a Wordpress Theme

The way your blog looks like depends on your Wordpress Theme. There are lots of options

out there, some are completely free, and if you want to try a free theme, I would recommend

to check out first Astra theme. If you want to start with a premium theme

right away, my top recommendation is Divi theme because it’s very flexible and user-friendly.

• 5. Driving Traffic to Your Blog

When it comes to getting visitors to your website, I recommend you to focus on ONE platform

at a time otherwise you’ll spread too thin and see very low results on all of them.

It does depend on your niche of course, but my general recommendation for beginners is

to start with Pinterest because this platform can give you traffic really fast. For some

niches Pinterest doesn’t work and in that case your first option would be Google traffic.

Like something that would be mostly interesting for men might have low traffic potential on

Pinterest because the majority of this platform are women.

So again, my personal top list of the platforms starts with Pinterest. https://prnt.sc/vs64uh

You’ll get your first traffic spikes with Pinterest within a few months while with Google

you might need to wait at least 6 months or even a year. With Pinterest, it doesn’t

matter if you have an old domain name and what is the domain authority.

It works great for almost any niche, you can see that it worked multiple times for so many

of my students of Pinterest SEO Traffic Secrets program – and they are all from different

niches. You’ll find a link to my Pinterest SEO Traffic

Course in the info icon and in the description below this video.

My second-favorite traffic source is Google SEO or search engine optimization for Google.

Search traffic is more stable because it doesn’t have the viral effect that you can see on

Pinterest. It’s good that Google traffic is more stable but it takes so much more time

and effort to make Google SEO work. A brand-new website might need to wait for at least 6

months or even a year before seeing any significant traffic and start ranking in Google. And by

waiting I don’t mean just starting a blog and doing nothing. I mean that you will be

working really hard optimizing your site and writing content optimized for keywords and

building backlinks to your website. The next one after Google comes Youtube. Probably

you realize that Google owns Youtube. So, you can often rank your videos higher than

your blog posts for the same keywords because Google gives priority to their own platform.

I get very little traffic from Facebook and Instagram and I don’t think these platforms

are good for organic free traffic generation. You would have to pay for ads to get some

traffic from these social networks and I assume you are starting a blog to make money not

to spend your money on ads before you ever made a cent out of your blog, right?

I could tell you so much more about Instagram but all of it would be about how you can NOT

get traffic from it to your website. I don’t want to waste your time for all these arguments,

just trust me on this.

I’m going to start talking about monetization methods for your blogs now. But if you find

the information I shared so far useful, give me a thumbs up and click the bell button to

get notifications when I publish my new videos!

Now let me show you what could be your monetization strategy as a beginner blogger and how you

can change it over time. Most of the bloggers start adding display

ads from Google Adsense or Media.net because it’s the easiest thing you can do with a

new website. Usually it’s enough to have about 20 posts

on your blog and something a lot of people don’t know about – you need a Privacy

Policy page before you apply! But if you ask my honest opinion, I don’t

think you should even bother applying to Adsense when you have very low traffic because they

pay very little for each 1000 visitors. When all your traffic is a couple of hundreds or

1000 visitors a month, you will be earning less than $10 a month. It’s not worth sending

your small audience away for so little money. So, my top recommendation for beginner bloggers

is to find affiliate products that you can promote in your niche. You can work with large

affiliate networks like Amazon, CJ Affiliates, ShareaSale, reWardStyle and others. Depending

on your niche, you could even partner directly with some product sellers. Some products can

cost a few hundreds of dollars and can come with generous affiliate commissions of about

30 and up to 50%. In this case, you could be making a hundred of dollars or more per

sale. If you think about, if your content linked to an affiliate product like this is

convincing enough, even with small traffic volume you’ll be able to make your first

$1000 on your blog, with good affiliate offers. When your blog traffic gets to at least 10,000/mo

sessions, you can apply to either Ezoic or Monumetric advertising networks. As I mentioned

before, you can totally skip applying to Google Adsense and actually it’s keeping your site

safe from any kind of ban or problems with Google Adsense.

When you work with Adsense directly as a new blogger, you can easily do something accidentally

that will get your site banned and this will close the doors for you to any premium ad

networks in the future. Because all of them including Ezoic, Monumetric, Mediavine and

Adthrive work with Google as their biggest advertising partner. If your domain has a

bad history with Adsense, it won’t be accepted to any premium ad networks ever. So again,

the $10 a month you could make with Adsense on a new blog, are not worth the risk for

your domain in the future. When you get at least 50,000/mo sessions on

your site, you can apply for Mediavine. This is a premium ad management company and you’ll

be paid about 10 times more for the same traffic than you could get with AdSense.

Keep in mind though that 80% of your audience should come from the United States to be accepted

to Mediavine. In this sense Pinterest can be very helpful because it’s much more popular

in the US than in other parts of the world.

NOW I’LL TALK ABOUT SELLING YOUR SERVICES When you are just starting a blog, it’s

often months of work without a single paycheck. While growing your audience, you can also

offer your services on the blog. For example, you could reach out to some established

bloggers and offer your services as their content writer, as an editor, a virtual assistant.

You could also offer any other services and promote them through your blog – like making

voiceover, translations, graphic design or anything else you are skilled at. I’ve seen

a very successful blog about accounting – and guess what, that accountant girl earns a lot

more than her colleagues each month because she has established herself as an expert through

her blog. The best part about selling your services

through the blog is that you don’t pay commissions that always apply if you use freelance sites

to find clients. Many beginner bloggers make the majority of

their income by selling their services in the first year or two, and you know what?

I think it’s great! They are working from home and earning enough to replace their 9-5

jobs. I personally used my blog to sell my 1:1 Pinterest management services for quite

a long time. I don’t do this anymore though and let me tell you why.

The most amazing thing about blogging is that you can build your career and skyrocket your

income to the levels that would take you decades in the corporate world. For me, I actually

am 100% sure I would never reach the same income level at my day job.

And while it takes some hard work upfront without getting paid from the first month

blogging, at some point if you don’t allow your limiting beliefs stop you from making

more money, then you can scale your business really fast.

But not if you trade your time for money. Not if you keep providing 1:1 services. It

can be quite difficult to get requests from potential clients and say sorry, I don’t

provide 1:1 services anymore but at some point if I didn’t do this, I wouldn’t be able

to scale my business and income. And so… we get to the advanced way of making money

from your website. It’s selling your own products.

Selling Your Own Products You can even sell physical products but I

don’t know this business, for me things like manufacturing, branding, delivery, dealing

with returned products, customs, all of this is a bit too much.

I prefer myself and recommend others to sell digital products online. The ROI is usually

very high and if you’ve built your blog or website to help you sell your products,

you can have a great income without spending anything on paid advertising.

You can sell lots of different products that don’t require a lot of support, for example:

- Ebooks - Printable files like binders, guides and

so on - You can sell patterns and templates if you

are a DIY blogger - You can sell stock photos through your site

if you are a photographer. It’s interesting that a lot of bloggers

delay creating products for too long until they almost get a burn-out from chasing pageviews

to monetize their site with ads. I’ve talked to several 1:1 clients of mine

who were established bloggers with large audiences and the only way they monetized was through

ads. When I asked why? Why you are not selling products? The answer was – I kept telling

myself I’m not ready yet, I am not good enough yet to sell a product. But come on,

with thousands of followers across multiple social networks? Not ready? This is clearly

a limiting belief in my opinion, a lot of people are just looking for excuses to stop

themselves from making more money with their blogs. If by any chance this is your case,

you definitely need to work on your mindset. What I found the best model for me personally

because I like interacting with people and sharing my knowledge, I found that selling

printables is kind of boring for me. I prefer selling courses where I can work with my students,

answer their questions, help them grow, celebrate their wins together and so on.

A lot of people think that selling courses requires a ton of ads, that you have to constantly

do stressful launches and that it is a huge risk as you have to work upfront to create

the whole course and only when you launch you will find out if it can sell anything

at all. Well I tell you what… this is how you create

courses the wrong way. I can show you how I consistently am selling my Pinterest SEO

Traffic Secrets course on the evergreen funnel. I didn’t have to do a live launch ever since

I created the course. Actually if you want to learn an effective an stress-free model

for creating and selling courses, without having to create the entire course before

you ever see if there is any interest in your topic. Without spending thousands of dollars

on advertising before you ever sell one copy of your course. Then check out my program

on building and selling courses stress-free – I’ll give you a link in the info icon

and in the description below this video. Now to wrap this up, the best advice I can

give you is stop doubting yourself and procrastinating. Don’t waste even one more day thinking about

starting a blog if you want to start it, just do it and you’ll figure out everything along

the way. As I promised, I’ll give you a plan to starting

your blog and making your first $1000 with it. I know how everything is overwhelming

when you are starting. That’s why I created a FREE blueprint that is delivered to your

inbox within one week, every day you’ll get one lesson together with my video tutorials.
