Starting a new blog, need advice

Hello everyone,

I am member of this forum since 2012, but never able to start anything maybe because I was lazy. Now I want to do something about it.
So here is the situation now and I know a lot of people might have asked the same question but as time changed a fresh advise from you guys will be definitely helpful.
I bought a couple of domains and I have hosting as well. I know some basic HTML & CSS but I am thinking to start on WordPress as it is easier to manage.
I am thinking to start 2 blogs:
1. Technology news(iOS,Android,Linux,AWS etc) and maybe games(PlayStation,Nintendo Switch, Windows) related content as well. As I read a lot of news websites daily.
Will that be a good idea to use the same content from those sites I read and rewrite the articles using similar images?
2. Restaurants & Food Review, I have already created a Instagram account and posted my personal reviews about restaurants and foods. I have started to get few followers and it seems good as it is just the start.
So I am thinking to divert my followers from Instagram to read my complete review on this blog.
Do you guys think, these ideas will be help me make some money in a long run?

Both of those niches can be quite profitable, which is exactly why they are crowded. The News niche alone (even if you specialize as you said) will take a lot of time and effort to update regularly, at least if you want to stay relevant.
I would advise you to pick one and commit to it fully. See how much you can get out of 100% of your effort. Otherwise, you will run the risk of stretching yourself too thin and burning out before seeing any returns.
So, yes, you would be able to make money in any of those niches, but I would advise that you simply pick one. Running a successful blog is a full-time job. You shouldn’t try running two if you have little to no experience with one.
