There are many platforms for creating a blog. However, we will take a look at one of the most popular ones: WordPress.
First, it's essential to create your project on WordPress.org, not WordPress.com. And the reason is, WordPress.org is the platform that will allow you to monetize your blog with ads and other ways in the future, whereas WordPress.com does not.
The second step is to pick a niche, and it needs to be specific. For example, if you like cooking instead of starting your project as a general food blog, be more specific and focus only on one thing.
Once you have things figured out, it's time to pick your WordPress theme. This is the fun part because there are all kinds of gorgeous designs available on the platform.
The theme is the framework that you are going to use to build your blog out. It's what you look at when you see where you want the pictures or a video carousel. Make sure to take some time looking through it, picking one that fits nicely with your niche.
Quality Over Quantity
To monetize your blog, the most important thing is the quality of your content. Forget quantity: You have to do an excellent job. The writing and the pictures should have the best quality possible. That's how you're going to gain traction. As a blogger, it is critical not to skip this step.

If you are not putting out quality content, your blog will not grow, and you will not have the opportunity to monetize it. Ideally, one new post per week that is very high-quality will get the job done. If you have time to do more than that, that's great.
How to Make Money Blogging
Once you have some quality posts out there, you could look at ways to monetize your blog. These are general ways people use to monetize their WordPress blogs:
-Set up ads: There are a couple of ways to do this. One of them is by using Google AdSense and apply to their program. Then they'll accept you, and you place spots for ads on your blog. Although it can take a couple of time to monetize your content, it will be worthwhile once you achieve the visits required.
Then, once you have a certain number of page views per month, you can apply to various ad networks. One of them is Mediavine. You need to have 30,000 sessions per month for your blog to be accepted to work with them. Once you move into an ad network space, you will monetize your blog with ads much faster.
-Get free products: All you have to do is sent the company you are interest in an email talking about your blog and telling them that you will talk about them there. With this strategy, you will not get money but stuff that you probably already were going to purchase.
-Create your own product: Whether it's a book, a video course, or an eBook. This way requires followers that like, trust, and respect you to get them to purchase your product.
With these tips, you can start working on your dreams and get a stable income as a blogger.
