Amazing. Already I follow this one. Can you advise me on how can I select a niche?
 
Here's a few tips to get you started:
  1. Niche: Select a niche that you are passionate about and have some expertise in. Quality > Quantity. Focus on valuable and unique content that resonates with your target audience.
  2. Domain: Find a domain that is memorable and/or already established in the niche.
  3. Email List: Offer an incentive to your readers to sign up for your email list. This will allow you to stay in touch with them, promote your products or services, and increase your revenue.
  4. Search Engine Optimization: Optimize your blog posts for search engines. Use relevant keywords and include internal and external links.
  5. Monetize by displaying ads, promoting/selling affiliate/digital products, or offering coaching services. Make sure your strategy aligns with your niche and audience.
  6. Build relationships with your readers: Respond to their comments, emails, and social media messages. Build a loyal community that will help you grow your blog.
Once you get your feet wet:
  1. Conduct research, provide expert insights, offer unique perspectives and actionable advice.
  2. Connect with influencers in your niche and build relationships with them. Collaborate to reach a wider audience. Guest post on their blogs, interview them, or offer them a product or service in exchange for a review or endorsement.
  3. Track your blog's metrics (traffic, engagement, conversion rates, and revenue). Use A/B testing and other analytics tools to test different strategies and find what works best for your blog. a lot of folks on BHW can help you with those services. Use this data to identify areas for improvement:
    1. Perfecting your landing pages
    2. Conducting successful mail marketing campaigns
    3. New keywords.

I just answerd to the same question, I will copy and paste for you:

It depends on your marketing and programming skills, you should know that using methods is not going to work for you now, you can write 1000s of articles and if you are thinking only about passive income, it's not like that work internet marketing, even if you use backlinks, it will take your time to rank and a lot of investment, even backlinks they are not important nowadays,

If you have zero SEO skills, you can't rank, if you think AI will help you rank fast "no", especially Google has produced metrics for ranking social signals, EAT, UX, Content Quality, On-page SEO, Keyword Research, technical SEO, Website speed, security, indexation, LSI, niche research, off-page SEO "link building", broken links, intent keywords...

You should know that most of your competitors use auto AI to reproduce 100s of articles every day automatically, using automation tools, plus using SEO automation and AI SEO, to rank in a day without using AI, automation tools, and programming languages!

Millions of people do articles with AI, I'm not going to demotivate you or tell you to give up but I'm helping you not waste your time on methods, you can rank on niches that have high demand but 0 competition, where is it??? It's hard to find it, you can make money blogging about your lifestyle but you should invest time, energy, and money in hiring an SEO expert,

I'm telling from all this is to learn, learn, learn, or hire people to help you and to focus on one thing, there's no passive income, there's only work, work, and work, then you can make money from blogging, from anything you want, remember that blogging will stay always a good field, but you must know that AI is here to offer help but not a full help!

When you learn, you will never ask "Can I Make Money from this" You will understand that you can make it but with expertise! :)

I think from my experience and my knowledge in marketing and from what I read the latest Google updates, it's about EAT, content expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness, and more metrics, plus blogging in the era of AI is so 20x harder than ranking a Youtube Channel, that's why people who want to blog must have internet marketing skills, marketing and SEO Knowledge, programming skills!
 
I agree that to enter a successful blog, you need to have certain knowledge.
 
Monetize your blog:

Advertising. Show ads on your blog through programs such as Google AdSense or by partnering directly with brands.
Affiliate marketing: Promote other companies' products or services and receive a commission for each sale or conversion through your blog.
Sponsored content: partner with brands to create sponsored resources, such as sponsored publications or reviews, and get paid in return or buy products.
Digital products.
Services: offer services related to your niche, such as consulting, coaching, or freelance writing, and charge for your expertise.
Donations: ask your audience to support your blog with voluntary donations.
 
Select your niche and then start writing blogs and post it every day.
 
Must have to choose a niche from most search and create a high quality content and backlinks. After that allow guest posting on your blog.
 
Choose a hot trend niche, then join a SEO course. Everything starts at the lowest levels :)
