10 Things to Know before Starting a Blog

By Ashutosh Jha → Sunday, December 1, 2019
So you want to start your own new blog?
Or you want to take your blog to a new height?
This post is for you. Here I’ll discuss about few important things to know before starting a blog.


If you’re in this field you must have seen things about blogging changes every now and then but not completely. This I think is the beauty of blogging. You must have to be active in the blogosphere and on the internet to keep yourself updated.

There are millions of blogs online, but whether all are successful? Of course not. Only few of those make the name and money. Why like this? There must be some reason behind this success. If you can get those secrets and can implement on your blog too, you can be the next.


In this post I’m going to show you some important things you need to know before starting a blog. I am sure if you’ll follow these tips, you’re going to save lots of time and energy.

Before moving to those 10 things that you should know before starting a blog, first I would like to ask few questions to you. You should ask these questions yourself before planning to start a blog. So here are those-

1. Why you want to start a blog
2. Who would be your primary audience
3. What is your story (Niche)
4. Can you fill the gap of niche with your content
5. Can you commit to Blogging- Consistency
6. Are there a chance to earn from it
7. Can you be active in the online world
8. Can you handle the pressure and critic
9. How you’re going to build links and about SEO
10. What is your ultimate goal

I think these are the very basic question you should ask yourself before starting a blog or even if you’ve a running blog, you should ask these questions to plan out the things in a better way. Do let me know your answers of any favorite question in comments. I’ll love to know that.

Things you should know Before Starting a Blog


So let’s start with those points by following which you can become one of the successful blogger in the coming time. Also if you disagree with me at any point of time or you want to ask any question/doubt, please drop your question/feedback below. I’ll love to answer those.

1. Select the best category of Story

This is the very first and basic step while starting a blog. Niche selection is very important as this is going to decide your future as how other things will go. It’s always preferable to select single topic niche compared to multi topic niche especially in long race. Already I’ve written a complete blog post on Single Topic Blog vs. Multi Topic Blog. If you’ve not read this, I would suggest you to read that also because I have given a complete guide for the niche here.

Also if still you’ve lots of topic in your mind and you’re not sure (my case was similar), this is what you should do and the same I did. Take a pen and notepad and write the entire niche name on which you want to start a blog. Now write at least 15-20 blog post name for each of the niche. You will clearly come to 4-5 from the list. Now check out of the remaining, which have less competition and more chance to earn, select that niche. I am sure by this way you’ll select the best niche for you.

2. A self-Hosted blog is still best

We think about this a lot but the best thing you can do about blog hosting is host your blog on your own hosting. No matter it is a blogger or wordpress. Self-hosted blogs are far better than the free platforms like wordpress.com or blogspot.com or Tumblr. 

 So, if you’re going to start a blog I would recommend you to use BlueHost hosting. This is one of the most reliable hosting I’ve ever seen. I’m using their service on my other blog and am completely satisfied with their service. You’ll get a free domain also with any hosting package.

With self-hosted blog you’ll be able to manage as per your need which is almost not possible in free blogging platform.

3. Define your Target Audience

This is the point where many newbie bloggers commit mistake. They either failed to define their target audiences or if they do, many fail to reach out to them. You need to overcome on both the scenario.

Define your audience & Reach out to them


This means select your customers from your niche. This is so simple. If anybody wants to sell a cloth, he/she needs to reach out to that person who are looking for the cloths not there who are looking for something else which does not even have any relevance with cloths. In blogging also we do follow the same things.

If anybody/group is looking for the technical tips but you provide health related tips and you’re reaching out to them definitely you’ll never convert those to buy from you or visit to you. So always select your target audience. If you’re blogging in health related domain, join those groups where people are looking for health related tips, advertise on that place where these people come. You’ll definitely rock.

Always serve only those things which people need!!

4. You should have a good Domain Name

There are plenty of websites and blogs in the world and around a million are getting registered each month. So in this competitive world you need to be unique through which people can easily remember you. If you’re starting a blog for the short term like event blogs, you can have keywords in the domain name else select some name which readers can easily remember. 

 Either it should depict what you do or have to be unique. Like bloggingtips clearly says it will say about blogging tips. Whereas domains like TricksRoad or Aha-Now are something which are easy to remember. So always select the unique domain name and you should avoid below things while registering domain name-

  • No Sms words like u for you, 4 for for etc.
  • No numbers
  • Try to avoid hyphens (-)
You can check my details post on How to select best domain name.

5. Focus on Readers

Most of the bloggers especially the newbies focus on visitors and try to get more and more visits to get good income from AdSense, you should initially avoid this. I am not telling you that you should not focus on traffic. You do but focus on the contents more.

Focus on readers rather to have more page views. Write engaging contents and that content which solve other’s problem. If you’re able to do so, traffic will automatically come. And then you would be easily able to convert your visitors into loyal readers.

6. You need to be Social

Initially I too had this misconception that I’ll get the traffic from Google and other search engines but within few weeks I realized it’s almost impossible to get decent traffic initially. This is the truth. Nobody can get lots of traffic at the initial days and hence you need to use some other strategies.

So, how do you get traffic in the short run? You can get through social media. There are many social networking sites to boost traffic and you should work on those sites to get visitors. Join Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Reedit and others to get good amount of traffic. You can read our post, Top 5 Social Networking Sites to Boost Traffic.

Also if you’re willing to spend few dollars you can buy ads on facebook, stumble upon or on other social sites, but if you don’t; you have to make good social media profile. Once you’ve good profile, you can easily get the traffic.

7. Design is Marketing & Marketing is Money

Neat & clean design will lead you to success. Initially when I started TricksRoad; I had a basic design which was ok.

 I continued it for a month and later felt that in this competitive environment where around a millions of new sites are getting started each month, ok will not work. You’ve to be the best and then finally came with this, which is good. Isn’t it?

You should have a design which can make money for you. You need one which can drive traffic to your site and hence can lead to money. You can refer my details post on How to select effective templates for blogs and websites.

8. Long Content still works

Long content has always been a key of success and will be. Google or any other search engines still value a lot for the lengthy articles over the short articles.

Google has recently launched an in depth article section on their search result.Also the best online marketing person in the world Neil Patel says the more the content length is the more attention you get. You can check his in depth analysis on content length here.


I haven’t seen a small article went viral. Always you’ll find those articles which are at least 1200 or more viral on the internet. This is not just for the sake of length. This says while writing the post, a well research has been done and so can solve the problem in a better way.

So, you should also be ready to write the long articles if you want to get visible in search engines. You can see in the above figure, all those posts those are in top 10 are of length more than 2000 words.

9. Personal branding is essential

It has been seen that Google prefer personal branding more. You can get this idea from their social site Google+ where they focus more on the personal branding of author. So this is the time to show person behind the great content, site and business.

In fact this helps a lot. If you show your picture on the blogs, your visitor gets an idea about your personality and this helps a lot in the interaction. You should spend equal time in building the site and building your personal brand too.

If you’re only focusing on building and branding of your blog and site, no doubt people will have a good image about your blog and they will visit you often. But this will not help you a lot. 

 Now suppose you’re starting a new site, you’ve to work again from scratch to make it famous. But if from the start of first blog itself, you’re working on personal branding as well you won’t have to work that much and your name and image will be enough for your readers to visit to your new venture. Neil Patel, Dino Dogan and Harsh Agarwal are the live example of this.

So it’s the time to show your face if till now you haven’t. I’ve seen many bloggers using the name as Admin, what exactly this mean. This clearly shows either you’re not willing to come outside or you’re not sure about the thing you do. And if you’re not sure how can others. Believe me you’ll get lot of benefits of personal branding.

 Also, try to keep same pic everywhere starting from your blog to social sites. I agree this is bit difficult but this will help to identify you by your visitors and will add an extra point in your branding.

10. Monetization Techniques

Last but most important point while planning to start a blog. Ultimately you want to make blogging as your career and want a full time income from this. So you need to plan everything pretty well. Like choose only that niche from where you can earn money else later you’ll find bit difficult to earn.

Be sure about the monetization techniques that you’re going to use in near future to earn from your blog. You can check my article on different ways to make money from your blog. Here I have listed around 19 real and proven methods to earn from blog.

What else do you need to know? Over to you


Planning is very important before starting anything in life. This doesn’t end to blogging. If you’ve planned everything well, you will get success. And I’m sure with these points you can break the barrier. So that’s about things to know before starting a blog. If you liked this post, please consider it for sharing.

Designing a Website Blog From Scratch- A Complete Guide

By Ashutosh Jha →
Did you know websites with a blog receive 434 percent more indexed web pages compared with websites without a blog?

If you want your website to rank high on search engines, creating a blog is a great place to start. However, starting a blog can also feel like you're designing a website from scratch.

designing website from scratch

Guide While Designing Website From Scratch- 10 Steps

Not to worry. In this article, we'll reveal how to get your blog up and running quickly with these simple tips going forward. Let's go!

1. How to Pick Your Blog Name

You might be panicking already cause you can't come up with an interesting, catchy and awesome blog name on the spot.

Remember, this is your brand name which needs to be relevant to the topics you're expecting to cover in your posts.

But also, you can always change your blog name later if you change your mind. If you're really struggling, then choose your name or nickname. For example, sillyharry.com.

You need your blog name to stay simple and to the point. You want to appeal to your audience, while also considering how the name appears to search engines. So always include SEO keywords.

2. Register with a Hosting Provider

Once you're ready with your blog name and domain name, it's time to register with a hosting provider.

This ensures your data files are accessible and secure. You can take advantage of free hosting providers. However, they always come with risks and low-quality services.

Alternatively, you can go with one of the many hosting providers which charge a subscription fee. These can usually save you money along the way by providing you with better website design, too.

You can discover more and compare the different hosting provider options available for your blog.

3. Picking a Blog Platform

You need to select a blog platform to write your articles and design a website from scratch. This is called a CMS (Content Management System).
Blog Platforms
A Content Management System (or CMS) is where you'll be writing, designing, and publishing your blog posts. You should be able to upload content here and select themes for your blog.

There are tons of blog platforms from Wordpress to Squarespace. You need to choose which is right for you.

4. Decide on a Blogging Niche 

Your best chance of becoming a successful blogger is to establish yourself as an influencer in your niche.

How can you do this?

You need to write about something you're already passionate about. But that's not enough either. You also need to know your stuff!
Research what your audience would actually be interesting in reading about. The more interesting your blog to your readers, the more effective you'll be at driving web traffic to your website. You can check most profitable blog niches to get some ideas.

5. Design a Blog Website

It doesn't matter what your content is about if you can't get your audience to stick around long enough to read anything.

Attention web designers - you've got 50 milliseconds to make a good impression with your website.

You need to instantly connect your audience on an emotional level. This requires an awesome blog design which draws you into reading the content.

That's not just about the aesthetics of the blog web pages either. While this is important, it's not everything.

It's also got to be easy to navigate around the web pages. Over 94 percent of users say that an easy to navigate website is a deal-breaker.
Users want your website to be intuitive to browse. They shouldn't have to second-guess each click. It needs to be obvious how it works.

6. Include Essential Web Pages

You've got to remember the boring bits of your blog website, too.

It's not only about fascinating blog posts and intriguing design. You also need to include the essential web pages, such as "About Us/Me," "Contact Page" and also, "Store/Shop".

Your "About Me" page should focus on who you are and why you're writing this blog. Talk about your background (why your opinion matters?) and what's your motivation (why you want to help?) to build authority.

Your "Contact Page" should simply include a basic email address and social media accounts. You can also include an option to call via telephone. You could also include a message box to encourage interaction.

7. Establish a Strategy

It's important to establish a strategy to connect with your audience.

First, consider what you want to achieve with your blog. Do you want to drive web traffic to your online store? Or, do you want to build your authority?

Make sure you learn who your audience actually is. You can discover information via Google Analytics and other tools. Knowing the location and demographics of your audience is important for engaging with them more effectively.

8. Make a Blogging Commitment

Your audience doesn't want to read a one-off blog post without ever hearing from you again. You need to show that you're reliable with a regular blog post.

Tell your readers that you're going to post every week or bi-weekly to maintain enthusiasm for your blog activity. Keep yourself organized to make sure you meet this commitment to maintain trust.

9. Include Images and Videos

Your audience doesn't just check into your blog for the words. You could also add videos to your blog to spice things up.

Your audience also wants images! In fact, blogs with images receive 94 percent more views than those without images.


10. Promote Your Blog

It's not as simple as "write the blog and they will come". You need to go out there and promote your blog yourself.

The best tools at your disposal are definitely social media networks. Whenever you publish a blog post, post it on Facebook and tweet about it Twitter. This is a sure-fire way to build your audience for your blog articles.

Designing a Website From Scratch

Now you know the tricks of designing a website from scratch to make a blogging success. Starting a blog can appear a lot of work at first. However, breaking it down to 10 steps makes it much easier to get going.

The All-Encompassing Blogging Guide To Success

By Ashutosh Jha → Wednesday, November 6, 2019
Blogging can be a tiring feat. From starting with nothing to building your audience, to keeping track of your word count, there is an infinite number of things to consider when you decide to start a blog.

Fret no more because this article will tackle everything you need to understand the blogging business. Starting from the basics of how to create a blog to maintenance tips, here is the all-encompassing blogging guide to success.

The All-Encompassing Blogging Guide To Success

How to Start a Blog

Here are some of the important steps need to be taken while starting a blog. If you're looking to start a specific WordPress blog then you may also check how to start a WordPress blog from scratch.

1. Find your niche

Before even creating your blog, you need to find a unique topic and angle of industry you’ll be writing about. A good example of a niche would be a blog centered on sustainable interior design or middle-grade fiction novels. These topics have a large enough audience for you to attract with less competition.

An easy way to figure out your niche topic is to ask yourself these four questions:

  • What am I passionate about?
  • Of these things, which of these passions are similar to others?
  • What can I say about my topic that hasn’t been said before?
  • Do I see myself doing this long-term?

Answering these questions shouldn’t take long, but don’t feel pressured if you need more time to figure out which answers would be the best fit for you and your future business. Here is a guide to most profitable blogging niche for reference.

2. Pick a blog name

Your blog name will be your brand image. The perfect name can make attaining success easier, so brainstorming for the right blog name is crucial.

When drafting potential names, don’t forget to incorporate your blog’s niche into it. If your blog is about photography, your blog name should have a word that points to that specific industry to give potential readers a glimpse of your content.

Keep it short and unique. A blog name that’s too long will be hard to remember and a blog with a name that’s too similar to your competitors will have a hard time gaining traction. If you’re hit with writer’s block, use online name generators to spark some new ideas. The perfect blog name will come to you. You just need a little bit of creativity and a lot of patience.

3. Choose a blog template

Your blog template should be a nod to your niche while keeping it neat and organized. Themes that are device-agnostic and easy to customize and navigate are good features for a blog page.

Because visual appeal plays a big role in creating a good first impression with your viewers, choosing a blog theme is a big task that shouldn’t be overlooked. You can check our detailed guide on how to select best blog template.

4. Draft your blog posts

When it comes to blogging, content takes center stage and plays the biggest part in attracting readers and gaining subscribers. Having a catchy title, for starters, helps capture the attention of users and encourages them to read “below the fold”.

Presentation is key in content creation so remember to keep your paragraphs short to improve readability. Other factors like visuals, font size, and line length need to be considered when drafting your post.

Adding inbound links (links to existing content in your blog) and outbound links (links to credible content by established websites) also helps boost your stats.

5. Attract an audience

Once your blog goes live, your job is to create a loyal following. Tell your family and friends about your blog and make connections by reaching out to other enthusiasts of your topic!

If you constantly keep at it, it won’t be long before your blog gains popularity and becomes the top blog for your industry.

6. Monetize your blog

If you’ve managed to gain a following and your blog generates a significant amount of traffic, you can monetize your blog through advertising opportunities, affiliate links, and sponsorship. We have a detailed guide on 17 ways to make money from blog which you can check to monetize your blog.

Blogging Tools

It’s hard to reach top blogger status without a few helping hands. These blogging tools can help you manage the workload of creating and maintaining your blog. While some of these tools are free, others require an investment if you’re truly serious about becoming a blogger. You may also check 100+ top blogging tools list here with details.

1. Web host

For your blog to go live, you need to have a web host. Web host services, in essence, store your blog on servers that allow users to find, access, and read your blog.

Web hosts also give you your domain name (yourblogname.com) and/or personalized email accounts (yourname@yourblogname.com). There are many free web hosting companies as well as premium web hosting companies which you can select to host your website.

2. Word count tool

Keeping track of your word count when you draft blog posts is a crucial factor if you’re thinking about ranking on Google.

Depending on your goals, your word count goal will vary. If your goal is to generate comments from your users, a post of 300 words is more than enough to tick that off your bucket list.

But if you aim to become a ranking page on Google, tools and algorithms require a range of 1,500 to over 2,500 words to be seen at the first search results page.

3. SEO tool

Keywords are the lifeblood of your blog’s content. Brainstorming a list of relevant keywords using an SEO tool helps you see which of these phrases are most popular with users and more likely to get them to read your blog. You can take the help of any keyword research tool to get the list of rankable keywords.

Be mindful of algorithm changes to these SEO tools because the slightest change can make or break your stats. An example of a technological advancement that changed search engine algorithms is the prevalence of voice search.

Thanks to Siri and Alexa, more people are going hands-free and voicing out their searches rather than typing them out.

4. Design software

Don’t underestimate the wonders an effective visual can do for your blog. You don’t have to be a Photoshop junkie to create stunning infographics.

Software like Canva allows you to craft digital posters, invitations, and banners for your page. It even comes with free stock photos!

5. Project organizer

When your blog is up and running, you’ll need to get good at juggling. More often than not, you’ll be managing more than one project at any given time so invest in a project organizer to keep track of your tasks and avoid missing a deadline!

You can arrange your tasks by due date or importance to get a clear understanding of what your everyday tasks will look like.

Do’s and Don’ts

Now that you know the skills and tools to run a successful blog, don’t be afraid to go back to the basics every now and then to refresh your memory with this blogging do’s and don’ts.

DO

1. Do market your blog

Marketing your blog is as easy as telling your friends about it and sharing a link on your respective social media pages.

You can remind your followers about a blog post they might have missed earlier in the week so don’t be shy! Tweet that links and wait for your stats to climb.

2. Do take time to read your readers’ comments

A blog that listens to its readers is successful. When you take time to read and respond to each comment with a personalized message, you’re telling your readers that you care about their opinions and are willing to listen to them.

This kind of interaction builds a genuine relationship with your audience and there’s a high chance they’ll stay loyal to your branding.

3. Do keep track of your performance

Motivate yourself by targeting new milestones every season! You can track different key performance indicators such as subscriber/follower count, site traffic and ranking, amount of comments, etc.

By tracking your performance, it encourages you to keep at it to reach the next goal and prevents you from regressing.

4. Do build an email list

Another way to build an interpersonal relationship with your audience is to build an email list and send out e-newsletters.

By bringing it straight to their inbox, users can get a glimpse of your content without having to actively seek it out. Once you've gathered the emails, you can use any email marketing software to send emails to your subscribers.

5. Do network and interact with other blogs

Branch out and grow your network by interacting with other blogs in your industry. This boosts your connections and can expose you to business opportunities that will help your blog grow.

Who knows? You might make lifelong friends with these bloggers and team up for sponsorship and partnerships.

DON’T

1. Don’t assume it’s a one-and-done job

The only thing harder than creating a blog is keeping it. There are so many blogs that are left behind after a few months because people realize that blogging isn’t a one-and-done job.

The work doesn’t stop after you’ve published your first blog post. The work doesn’t stop after you’ve reached your 1,000th subscriber. The work actually never stops if you’re looking at blogging as a full-time business.

2. Don’t ignore your readers and their suggestions

Your readers are your most important asset, second only to keywords. Your readers are the ones who generate traffic and they can increase your popularity through word of mouth.

If you ignore your readers and their suggestions for a better user experience, your blog won’t last long.

3. Don’t sacrifice quality for quantity

Continuously publishing blog posts is hard work, but you should never sacrifice quality for quantity.

It’s better to post a carefully researched and well-articulated piece once a week than to spam your users daily with tactless and cheap content.

4. Don’t be afraid to ask for help

Keep your pride at bay and learn to ask for help when you need it. The truth of the matter is, you can’t do everything by yourself no matter how much you want to.

Trying to juggle everything when you clearly can’t handle it is a one-way ticket to Burn Out City, and you really don’t want to go there.

5. Don’t underestimate your competitors

You may be number one now, but that doesn’t mean your competitors are accepting it without a fight. Being complacent is the worst thing you can do when you finally reach that number one spot because the person holding the number two spot is working consistently to take your place.

You should never underestimate your competitors because it will be the cause of your downfall.

How to start a blog on UKHost4U in 5 Minutes- Step by Step Guide

By Ashutosh Jha → Monday, November 4, 2019
If you’re looking to start a WordPress site with cheap and reliable hosting, then this article is for you. Here I am going to talk about how to start a WordPress blog on UKHost4U in less than 5 minutes.

I will be sharing the exact method I have used while hosting one of my new domains and you can do so just by following this guide.

UKHost4U review

Before going into the step by step method to host WordPress blog on UKHost4U, let's talk little details about the company.


UKHost4U is one of the leading hosting providers across the globe, especially in the UK region. They have all kind of hosting available like-

  1. 1. Web hosting
  2. 2. WordPress hosting
  3. 3. Enterprise Hosting
  4. 4. Reseller hosting

So, depending on your needs and budget you can select any of these.

Along with the above, they also have the server and you can buy-

  1. 1. VPS server
  2. 2. Dedicated server

UKHost4U is an all-in-one web solution where it offers domain, VoIP, and security solutions like SSL certificates as well.

If you follow TricksRoad, you must be knowing that I keep on trying different hosting companies from time to time. Earlier I was on DreamHost (check step by step guide to host a blog on DreamHost) and later I tried HostUpon, BlueHost, and Namecheap as well.

Recently, when my existing hosting was getting over, I started looking for some other hosting providers. I talked to multiple hosts like A2Hosting, PowerUp Hosting, Digital Ocean, UKHost4U, and Orange hosting. After going through all, I found UKHost4U matching the kind of requirement I had.

While selecting the best WordPress hosting, the following were the major parameters I focused on-

  • Uptime
  • Cost-efficient
  • Better Support
  • Free SSL
  • cPanel
  • Unlimited traffic
  • Free site transfer

When I talked to almost all the hosting mentioned above, I found UKHost4U satisfying all these factors and I have decided to go ahead with them.

UKHost4U Features

Here are some of the amazing features of UKHost4U which attracted me to buy and you may also look for these-

1. Free Site Migration

If your existing hosting uses cPanel, just open a case with their support and be sure of the smooth migration. I opened a case with them on Oct 23 just by sending an email with the details like cPanel URL, user id, and password of existing account.

And within a day, all my sites (7+ WordPress blogs and sites) were transferred to the new hosting. Below is the email confirmation from their support team.

2. 24X7 Technical Support

This I found interesting!

If you'll look into the major hosting providers, they usually provide chat support for sales. But UKHost4U provides 24X7 support for technical issues. And this is very helpful. I felt some SSL related error with one of my sites and within no time, they resolved it. You can see the response and resolution time from below email screenshot-


3. Free SSL Certificates

This is another feature for me to consider. My last hosting provider Namecheap had this limitation. Although Namecheap allows 50 free SSL certificates but it will be only valid for 1 year per domain and from next year you will have to buy. But UKHost4U is different here and allow free SSLs as long as you will be with them.

4. Flexible Plan

Another great thing about UKHost4U is, they have different plans to suit everyone's needs. Here are the three major plans by UKHost4U which you can check-

And similar to this, there are many other features of the hosting that you can check form the above pricing table.

Along with all these, UKHost4U allows 30-days of money-back guarantee. The company is in service since 2001 and had got 4.6 average ratings on Trustpilot.

How to start a WordPress blog with UKHost4U step by step

Here is the step by step by step guide to starting WordPress blog with UKHost4U. We will go through section from buying the hosting to making the site live.

Section-1: Buying hosting

Head over to the site and looking for the different hosting plans with cPanel. I personally recommend hosting with cPanel as it is standard across the industry. Also, managing and transferring are a lot easier with cPanel.

You can check the different UKHost4U hosting plans here. Now depending on how many domains you are looking to host, select from the plan. As I had 12+ domains and so I selected "the business" plan which offers to host up to 20 websites. It comes at 8.34 Euros per month.

Tip: You must check with them for the offers and there is a high chance that you can get around 10%-20% discount easily. You can either wait for the popup box or can ask in the chatbox as well.


Once you will click on the buy here button, you will be redirected to a new page where the system will ask for the domain options.


As I was already having the domain name with some other cheap domain name registrar and so I selected the third option where I just need to update the Nameservers.

Just put your existing domain name here and click on the use button.


Next, it will show the configuration page where you can select the plan and make the payment.


Just click on Continue in the above window. This will take you to the payment page where you can apply the coupon code as well.


Once done, just click on the checkout button and make the required payment. In the checkout page, you'll be asked for some personal details like email id, password, etc. Just fill those and make the payment. Once done, you'll get the confirmation email.

That's all, you have successfully bought the required hosting and can log in to your account using email id and password.

Section-2: Change Nameservers to Existing Domain

Money Talks: How to Write Financial Blogs People Will Actually Read

By Ashutosh Jha → Saturday, March 23, 2019
Ever read a financial blog? They’re boring, and at times, the jargon and mathematical lines can be mind-numbing. It’s no mystery why many people hate finance blogs.

Up to 43% of readers admit to skimming content. Unless something is interesting enough, there’s not enough time to read. This gets extra problematic when it comes to finance.

How to Write Financial Blogs
Sure, informative financial blogs are something we want. How do you write blogs that people like though?

5 Tips on How to write financial Blogs

In this article, we’ll teach you how to start a finance blog and make people like it.

Are you ready? Here’s how you do it.

1. Know Your Target Audience

The first thing you need to do is learn about who your audience is. Depending on the locale, determining the right demographic helps set the tone. If you want to learn how to start a finance blog, you need to know who you’re writing for.

Set an audience avatar in your mind. You want to have a firm idea of the people you believe would be reading your content. Some factors, to name a few, include:

  • Gender
  • Age group
  • Salary bracket
  • Social status
  • Level of financial knowledge

When starting a personal finance blog, you should incorporate specific audiences within your writing. Some will write to help millennials between 18 – 35 while others will write blogs for older business owners. The idea is to adjust your writing style to fit the general understanding of your audience.

2. Be Passionate, Be An Expert

If you aim to write blogs, make sure you have an interest in the topic. There’s more to learn about concepts from this blog, but the idea is the same. If you’re passionate about your subject, it will be visible in your writing style.

You want to make sure you are an expert in your niche. People who write corporate finance blogs, for example, are savvy about stock trading and how events affect trade options. Nothing useful will come down if people notice you don’t know what you’re talking about.

On the flipside, a real expert would know how to make hard concepts simpler. This is crucial as the common issue on how to start a financial blog is expertise. You may have basic ideas, but you need a strong understanding of the topic to explain the concept.

If you can take time to explain hard to understand concepts, do it. You can even write entire topics about them and link your blog posts with each other. This saves you time explaining hard concepts when you write blogs.

3. Pinpoint Your Writing Style

The smart way to deal with topics is to write the headlines down. Create a content calendar and create building blocks for your big articles.

Before starting a personal finance blog, you want to make a primer about some typical concepts. Start with small techniques. Work through ideas like taxation and teach more complex financial concepts.

Once you teach the right building blocks, expand on the concepts and link them. Go from general ideas to specific topics.

If you, for example, are writing for corporate finance blogs, you might want to give a primer about handling corporate finance papers and investments.

Find the writing style that fits you. Do you tend to ask short and sweet questions? Do you like to break down harder concepts?


Depending on your target audience, you may either opt for a casual, personal tone or a professional tone. People tend to respond better to personal style tone—like asking a friend for advice. Depending on how you can convey your message better, the right voice can help you start a finance blog.

You would also want to break the wall of text that is developing. Create images, videos, and infographics that can help explain your position better.

  • Make a list of small details
  • Add subheadings to create content hierarchy
  • Use short paragraphs with 1-3 short sentences

Doing things as simple as these can help your audience when you write blogs.

4. Write the Most Compelling Intro You Can Make

Writing a great intro is crucial to entice your readers. You want it straight to the point, but it should also pique curiosity. You want to grab their attention with a statement or a question.

Where you can, you should:

  • Make a factual declaration and support it with facts
  • Ask a question people want to ask
  • Drop something true but ridiculous

If you want to learn how to start a finance blog, the intro should absorb the reason down to your content body. It should be something that people want to consume. Whether you promise enlightenment or information at the end, your intro should pull them into the blog.

5. Create Titles People Would Enjoy

It’s crucial to have robust, catchy titles. You want it to seek attention, but not be click-baity. You also should summarize your entire intent in the headline.

If you want to go with the current trend, you would want to follow through Buzzfeed’s headline writing style. These are compelling and gives the right promise to the customer.

Headlines like “5 Most Powerful Stock Trading Tips You Need To Know” is not only compelling, it also gives away everything that the reader can expect, so it piques curiosity.

How to Write Financial Blogs with Ease!

Whether you’re starting a personal finance blog or corporate finance blog, you need to remember. If you want to write financial blogs that people would read, write it for them. Make it simple, informative, and easy to digest.

Brief Introduction about Top 25 Events for Event Based Blogging Infographic

1. Happy New Year: This is the craziest event that any blogger target. Though this is a one day event but the searches are more than 1500k+ in just a single day. If you are getting the top position for just few keywords, be sure you will get huge money through it. As searches are more and income potential is also big so the competition is slightly higher than the other events.

5. Christmas: Generally bloggers who are targeting Happy New Year also target Christmas but as bloggers have started targeting each and every small event so getting ranked with other EMD is bit tough. So targeting Christmas can be a huge success as competition is less compared to other event blogs.

Niche will be your main product and well you can say the income potential of your blog depends on your niche. So give enough time while selecting a niche.

Also, traffic is quite high on these niches so if you are ranking for just a few keywords then also, you can make big money.

Also, let me clarify one more thing. Here with a most profitable niche to blog doesn't mean I am only talking about income from Google AdSense. But here I am considering wide ranges of income sources like-
  • AdSense

  • How to guides
  • Android-IOS blogs
  • Laptops and Mobile blogs
  • Trending technology
  • Newly product release and much more.
Even though the competition is more in this niche but still as technology is growing every second, there is great potential to earn.

3. Blogging Tutorial Niche

This is one of the most profitable blogging niche currently and competitive as well. A tutorial is a great source of learning. From a tutorial niche, by providing great tutorials about Blogging, SEO, Content marketing, Coding etc., you can help newbie a lot and in return, you can make a good number of loyal readers for your blog. These readers will help you to earn more from an affiliate.


Through blogging tutorial niche, though the earning through AdSense is a bit less as most of your readers would be bloggers, webmasters or the one who know about all these.

So, they easily know which is content and which is an ad. So these readers usually don't click on ads. But there is the great potential of earning through Affiliate, Sponsored review, and direct advertisements.

Blogging tutorials are also a big niche and if you want to focus on one particular area, you can target sub-niches like-
  • SEO Tutorials
  • Internet Marketing Tutorials
  • Content Marketing guides
  • Making money online guides etc.
As this niche is very profitable so competition is much and if you want to get success, you have to come up with unique contents and with the one which readers are looking for.

4. Business Niche

These types of blogs are very profitable for the upcoming entrepreneurs. By providing the relevant information like-
  • How a newbie can start business
  • How they can get success
  • What are the risk and how to deal with those risks?
  • How to get money to start business
  • What is business plans etc.
By providing unique and real information, you can get lots of success in this niche. YourStory, StartUp Class, and onstartup etc. are blogs in the business niche.

To start a blog in this niche, you should be well prepared and should write only real methods which can help the growing youths.

The source of income in this niche is quite high and you can earn from many sources like AdSense, Direct Ads, Sponsored posts etc.


5. Insurance Niche

Insurance is one of the most profitable niches if we talk about earning from Google AdSense. Even you can get a CPC of $50-$60 from this niche. But at the same time, this is one of the highly competitive niches where you have to work really very hard to rank your blog.

So if you are ready to invest time and can work hard, this niche is for you. Again there are multiple sub-niches in Insurance niche-
  • Health Insurance
  • Automobile Insurance
  • Property Insurance etc.
Google AdSense is the best source of income for these sub-niches even though you can earn from other different niches.

I am also working on one blog in Insurance niche and I will share my journey soon here.

6. Education Niche

Education is the basic necessity of any person. Since the evolution of technology, people tend to focus online for any education and so make this niche hot for online earning as well. You can start a blog on any sub-niche like-
  • College and Universities’ information
  • Courses information
  • Syllabus and study materials.
  • Tests and e-books etc.
This is one of the easiest niches to start. Here you can also do micro niche like a blog on the specific results. For example, Medical results, TISS results, engineering examination, etc.

7. Forex Trading

Forex trading is a trading currency from different countries against each other. For example, the currency of India is in INR and in the US it is Dollar. So the example of Forex trading would be buying dollars while selling rupee simultaneously.

forex-trading-blog

Let me show you one example for better understanding. Like in 2014, one dollar was somewhere around 60 INR. If you could have bought 1000 dollars which have coasted you around 60k INR.

Currently, one dollar costs around 63 INR so if you have decided to sell those dollars, it's value will be 63k INR. So your profit is 3k INR. This is just an example.

The Marketer who does Forex trading keeps on finding the profitable market and currency and they easily earn $5k-$10k a month. Now let's get back to the point whether we should consider this as a blogging niche or not?

Forex trading is also good to start with but again this is a bit difficult to rank like Insurance due to huge competition. But if you are able to do so for a couple of keywords, you can easily earn a lot as the CPC for these keywords is quite high.

Also, you can get lots of advertisements and Sponsored post on such niche. So if you are all set to work hard, this is the niche for you.

8. Website Design, Domain & Hosting

To start any online business, you need primarily three things-

1. Web Design- This can be either hard coded or themes or customized themes.

2. A Domain Name- You can buy a domain name even for $0.99 or if you want to start with free, get a subdomain on BlogSpot/WordPress.

3. Hosting: To host a website/blog, you need space and hosting provide that space. You can even start with free hosting on Blogger/Wordpress.com


Now you can start a blog on this niche. But as this is a very big niche so you can take any sub-niche from it and can start. Few of those sub-niches may be
  • Website Design Tutorials
  • How to buy a good domain name/how to find expired domain etc.
  • Best Hosting for websites/Best WordPress hosting etc.

These are some of the sub-niches in this niche and are highly profitable. But here I would like to suggest you is, if you are ranking for this niche, don't use AdSense.

Because if you are getting clicks on the ad, you will earn somewhere around $0.5-$1.0, which is not much for a niche like hosting. Better use affiliate marketing here. Select any hosting company, Hostgator, BlueHost etc. and promote their offer.

If you are making any sell, you will earn at least $50 per sale, which 50-100 times of an AdSense click.

9. Social Media

You will agree with me here! Social media has become the need of one's life. Right? Yes. Daily Billions of people access the different social network all across the globe.

So, now I am sure you can judge the potential of this super niche. This is a vast niche and you can target one or two social platforms and can start a blog. Like you can target Facebook, G+, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit etc and can start a blog where you can post the details about these social platforms. The details may include (considering example of Facebook)
  • How to best use Facebook
  • How to promote your business through Facebook Free
  • How to do paid advertisement through Facebook.
  • How to earn from Facebook
  • How to use Facebook API on blogs/websites
  • How to make post viral on Facebook
  • Tips and Tricks related to Facebook etc.
These are the kind of contents that you can post on such blogs. Again there are different ways to earn from these kinds of blogs like AdSense, Sponsored Posts, CPA Networks etc.


10. Listen to your Heart

Last but not the least. In fact the most important one! Listen to your heart. Because if anything is done from your heart, that must get success. Decide which is that area where you are good and start on that. No niche is bad. If work properly, every niche can earn good amount of money. Let me tell you how you can select a niche from your interest.

Also Read: 5 Social Media Mistakes that Every Blogger should Avoid


Take a pen and paper and write down all the area which you like. This may include Entertainment, cricket, game etc. I am sure you will write 5-10 topics. Now think which is the area among all which will not bore you even if you will be with it for a whole day. I am sure you eliminate 3-4.

So, almost you are having 4-5 now. Now make a column for all 4-5 topics remaining and start writing the blog post topics, plans etc. And by the end of this select the area where you found the majority number of ideas.

By this way, you can select the niche which you really like and this will go forever. You will never get bored of it and easily success will come to you.
