That is a VERY extensive topic that has many variants and alternatives. There isn´t a black & white way to achieve that but I will try my best.
I highly advice you to check the My Journey Discussion sub forum and engage on the debate with people that are actually doing what you want to do.
- Pick a niche you have a particular interest/knowledge/experience
- Build a topical map (At least 500+ topics you can write about)
- Pick/build a beautiful and functional website
- Start writing content
- Focus on writing a single topic cluster before moving to another
- Shine and repeat

I appreciate your answer, especially the fact that with 500+ Topics, having some ideas in his backlog might be a good approach.
But I think OP is asking for a detailed 3) Answer.
Because I assume that's the most challenging part for many, as well as applying for monetization.
Article Writing, in the age of AI or with great tools, research, etc., is something an enthusiastic person can do anyway if the topic is right.
I would also have the same question: Which template would you recommend? Plain vanilla? Or something like Astra?
I guess NewsPaper would be overkill.
Thanks and best regards,

Edit: I found the same question when I clicked on @Roger Marquez Journey Thread. Somebody is doing the same as you want to do, @RandomVCC .
Follow his Journey, ask Questions, I think several people will provide help!

I read your question as how do I create a blog so you can earn from AdSense.
There's the shortcut and there is the long cut. The shortcut is pretty straightforward. Look for niches on AdSense that pay over $1 per click.
Off the top of my head, I'm talking about legal services, insurance, personal finance, debt consolidation, structured settlements, and other esoteric topics like that.
As you can probably already tell, there's not that much traffic for those specialized subjects and that's a part of the reason why you get paid a lot per click.
So once you've zeroed in on a high cost per click niche, the next step is to find the top sites, the top blogs for those niches.
Shoot for 10 top blogs.
Once you find them, use an SEO tool like AHREFS or SEMrush and load those domains.
Those tools will tell you what the organic keywords they rank for.
Next, sort the organic keywords by difficulty and then cross-reference this with monthly traffic volume.
What you're looking for is something that is moderately difficult while at the same time getting enough traffic on a month-to-month basis because there's no point in getting the easiest keywords, but they have absolutely no traffic.
So once you have done this filtering, the next step is to do a quantitative study.
This will take a little bit longer because you're going to have to study the content of your competitors and figure out what they're doing right, what they're doing wrong, or if there's some sort of ‘quality gap’ between what they're doing and what you should be doing.
The key here is to not just blindly copy what they're doing, because that's going to get you nowhere.
Think about it. If somebody's searching for your target keyword, chances are they would rather go to a site that's been doing it for a longer time because they have the expertise.
They really have no reason to go to you. You have to give them that reason, and that's why this quality gap should be your starting point.
You should put it front and center.
Well, you're still going to be talking about what everybody else is talking about.
You're going to be talking about stuff that they either neglect, overlook, or under service.
This is what's, if you adopt this philosophy, your blog will stand out.
Now, I'm not saying that it's going to be an overnight success, but it's definitely going to be worth visiting.
The long cut is to come up with your own niche and then experiment with different keywords and topics, and then once you have enough traffic, figure out what works and what doesn't, and then build on what works.
This can take years.
So, if it were up to me and I'm just starting fresh, I would use the first method.
I would use the shortcut, which is not really a shortcut because there's still deep work involved.
You cannot use AI to do this because a lot of the AI info out there is wrong.
So, you have to do it manually, and AI cannot step into the eyes of your target customer.
You have to do that.
