Here’s a concise guide on how to become a blogger and earn money online, tailored for beginners as of June 2025:

Steps to Start Blogging and Earn Money

1. Choose a Niche
   • Pick a topic you’re passionate about (e.g., travel, tech, cooking) with monetization potential. Use Google Trends or X to check demand (e.g., “Indian travel blogs” is trending).
2. Set Up Your Blog
   • Use platforms like WordPress (free tier or hosting via Bluehost, ~₹200/month) or Blogger. Buy a domain (e.g., via GoDaddy, ~₹500/year) for a professional look.
   • Install basic plugins (e.g., Yoast SEO, Jetpack) for optimization.
3. Create Quality Content
   • Write 500–1,000 word posts targeting keywords (e.g., “best Indian recipes 2025”) using free tools like Ubersuggest. Post 1–2 times/week initially.
   • Add visuals (use Canva) and optimize for SEO (titles, meta descriptions).
4. Drive Traffic
   • Promote on X, Instagram, or WhatsApp groups. Use Pinterest for visual niches. Submit to Google Search Console for indexing.
   • Aim for 1,000–5,000 monthly visitors in 3–6 months.
5. Monetize Your Blog
   • Affiliate Marketing: Join Amazon Associates or Flipkart Affiliate (earn 5–10% per sale).
   • Ads: Use Google AdSense (₹5–₹50 per 1,000 views after approval).
   • Sponsored Posts: Charge ₹5,000–₹20,000/post once you hit 10K+ monthly views.
   • Digital Products: Sell eBooks or courses (e.g., ₹500–₹2,000 each).
   • Target ₹1 lakh/month with 50K views/month (~₹2/view via ads + affiliates).

Earnings Breakdown

• 50K views/month at ₹2/view (ads + affiliates) = ₹1 lakh.
• Add 5 sponsored posts/month at ₹10,000 = ₹50,000 extra (optional).

Tips for Success

• Consistency: Post regularly and engage on X for growth.
• Learn SEO: Follow guides on YouTube or Moz for free.
• Patience: Earnings start small; expect ₹10,000–₹20,000/month in 6–12 months.

Risks

• High competition; requires time to build audience.
• Ad revenue fluctuates with traffic and niche.

Start with a free blog, reinvest earnings into hosting, and scale. Let me know if you want specific tools or niche ideas!
