The hidden truth of blogging about beginners
If you think you want to choose to blog as a profession then it's okay. But if you want to choose a blogging as your career then think twice. I'm not going or want to demotivate you but the truth of blogging you need to know.If you think blogging career salary is high then it is true. The professional blogger earns much money as compared to a normal job. You can say that one day earning of the professional bloggers is equal to the one month salary of a normal job.
Now what you have known here about blogging career?
How much you need to know before starting a blog
If you think to start a blog in blogger then you have to learn a little knowledge about coding. But if you want to start your blog in WordPress then it may be easy to blogging. In WordPress, there are many plunging available for optimizing your post.
Search engine ranking
When you want to rank in search engine and want traffic than the first thing you need to learn about SEO (search engine optimization).
You may know it about SEO (search engine optimization) but in reality how much easy or complicated. If you want to know how it is then, in reality, it's very complicated. Here I'm going to explain everything which I'm also facing in my blogging career.
The main SEO techniques are On page SEO and Of page SEO.
On Page SEO
On Page SEO is easy but in reality it not going to work, working but it will take a lot of time minimum 6 to 7 month, it will also take more than one year, even it cannot works.
In On page SEO, it's very easy to optimize your post just write the article in a proper format(heading, subheading and easy to understand by the user), give an attractive meta description, give a short permalink for the targeted keyword and add a caption and properties in the image for the targeted keyword.
Do you know what funny about on page SEO, it not going to work as expected. It really takes a lot of time which can't be expected by you or anyone who wants to do blogging. Imagine you work for 6-7 hours per day and there is no result, no money, and no traffic.
Off-page SEO
Now what is off page SEO, the off-page SEO mainly include backlinks, it may be do-follow or no-follow backlinks.
The Do-follow bank link is inside the article and No-follow backlink is made through the comment in a particular article.
You can make backlink through a comment or by guest post. When you are a comment on any website and if the owner going to approve the comment then there will make a do-follow backlink if not then the comment will stay as a no-follow backlink.
If you publish any guest post on any well-published blog then the backlink is very powerful do-follow backlink.
But the question is comes here why a well-published website going to give you a backlink or for a guest post because you are not published yet, you are not profitable for this website owner.
If you want or apologize for any website for a backlink or to do a guest post then he will charge a lot of money from you.
Most of the bloggers are a student, and most of them are from a middle-class family so it is hard to manage a lot of money only for a backlink.
About traffic on your blog
It hard to believe but there is almost zero traffic on your website, no one going to care about content how much it is helpful because there is a lot of websites are doing the same niche which is done by you, also they are well established. People know about their website.
Now people tech about your social media for promoting your website. It looks easy but in reality, it also complicated because there is also a lot of competition for promoting their websites. So you need to be professional for promoting your niche site.
Also, people are teaching different techniques to increase the traffic of your website but they are not worked if you are a beginner. You have to learn too much about this techniques.
Don't de-motivate they are work but takes really a lot of time. For blogging career, you must have a lot of patients.
I'm going to know about this to you because of if you know this then you will be ready for it.
The comparison between a job and blogging
The main difference between blogging and a job is the blogging gives you much money as your hard and smart work but in a job, it does not matter how hard a worker you are it hard for promotion or for increasing the salary it constant.
If you think blogging is easy then it is really hard as compare to a job. There are a few things you have to do in a job but in blogging, you have to do a lot of things. You always need to update regularly.
In the job you are not independent but in blogging in independent. You can do any time anywhere whenever you want.
What is special in blogging
In blogging, no income limit, you can earn much money as you want if you know the proper way.
You can take leave for a day or a week from work when you want. Now you have a lot of time for your family and friends because you are now your own boss.
If you start blogging then you will become an expert on that niche because you have to teach other people by your content. So it's really going to make you an expert on that filled.
How a blog earn money
There a mainly two types of source of income of a blog, first the ad-network and secondly from affiliate marketing.
Add network is an easy way to earn a lot of money from advertising network like Google Adsense if you have good traffic on your website.
Affiliate marketing is not an easy way but if you learn it then it will be a better way to earn money as compared to an ad network.
Blog post mistakes of beginners
A blog post quality is very important if you want to rank. People are saying that write your blog in more than 300, 500, 700 or 1000 words but in reality, this blog post never going to rank if it will be ranked then after 2 to 3 years because of you don't have and domain authority (DA) or page authority (PA).
My recommendation is if you are a beginner then write your blog post more than two thousand (2000) words, and to do 100% on page SEO. How much your content is long much your chance to better rank on Google. You must cover all the topic related searches which are also called LSI keyword. Which you can find bottom whenever you search for anything in Google as "related search."
Use at least one image for your blog post. Write quality and user-friendly content.
Now language is a big problem for a beginner. My recommendation is you can write which language friendly for you. But English is good because it is a global language. If you are weak in English then there are lots of extensions are available on the internet which is very helpful for writing in your content.
Now how much traffic you need to earn money from your blog
You must have at least one thousand (1000) page view per day for at least 100$ per month of income from advertising.
If you have enough quality blog post and it ranked on Google then it's not complicated for 1000 visitor per day, it is much more then 1000 page view and 100$.
Blogging as a full-time career
Yes, 100% you can, the blogging is maybe your full-time career but before confirming that must understand about it.
First, if you are a student and you want to do blogging than don't give your 100% focus on blogging because you are not sure that you can do it or not. If you also focus on your study then you have another opportunity for your career. Also, education is very important for you.
If you find information about blogging then most of them say that blogging is an easy way to earn money from internet. But in reality, it's very difficult to publish yourself online.
Now if you are doing a job then don't leave your job for blogging do it as free time or part-time job or as a hobby. If you got a good income from your blog then you can regain from your job because you have the opportunity for your own boss and earn lots of money as compared to your job.
The main problem with every beginner in blogging to choose the perfect niche. Because there is a lot of niches available for you.
To find the perfect niche is really complicated because you really don't know what will be the perfect niche for your blog. I'm asking this because what niche you have chosen there is also a lot of article or blog are doing the same thing.
So after finding your niche and writing a quality content, no one is going to visit your website.
Now the question is how to choose the best niche for your blog? The answer to this question is very simple to choose a niche which you want, it does not really matter what is your niche is all about your content.
Before choosing your niche research about on that topic. The main problem with a beginner is they find their niche and also buy a domain but after writing five to six article they really don't know what I have to write because it seems like the content on this blog is complicated.
So it is very important to find the niche for your blog and how much article needs to be written on that niche.
The trending topics are one of the best topics for blogging because of trending topics are ranked fast in Google, and also it is sharable. If one of your posts is going viral then you can't find how much traffic will come to your post.
How much post needs to write on your niche blog
My recommendation is to write at least thirty (30) fully SEO optimized post more than two thousand (2000) words.
Don't write your blog in less than 1000 words. If you think that your blog post is complete in 300 words then complete then write about the related topic on that particular keyword.
For example, you are going to write a post on "internet" then your post will be completed within 300 words. After complete, the main topic writes the related topics like the history of the internet, advantages of the internet etc.
What is best for you Single Niche or Multiple Niche?
The answer is a single niche is best for you because it will go to rank on Google faster more than multiple niches website. Because you can write all about that single niche in a short period of time. And after ranking on Google you will get a lot of traffic and money.
How much time you need to understand the basic of blogging
If you are a beginner and don't have sufficient knowledge about blogging even by blogging then it will take at least three months or maybe more then three months.
If you want to start your blogging in blogger then you must have a basic knowledge about HTML coding. To learn the HTML it not takes a lot of time you will learn basic of HTML coding in a week.
If you want to start your blog in WordPress then it is much easier as compared to blogger. There is a lot of plugins available which very helpful.
Google Adsense approval
Now the big problem with the beginner in blogging is they are not getting the Adsense approval.
In reality, the Adsense approval is much easier than you think. Write good quality content about 10 to 15 post and must have about us, contact us, privacy policy and disclaimer page then you will easily get Adsense approval.
Conclusion
The reality of blogging is very difficult for a beginner if you think that everyone is saying that it is easy then come to practical. The beginning time of blogging is very demotivating and frustrated.
You think that you write a blog and there will be a lot of people comes to see your articles. But it 100% opposite after writing one or two months you will find that there is no one comes to see your website, earning is almost zero.
Don't be demotivate after 6 to 7 month you can see the growth in your website and also increasing in your website.
Be open minded for blogging always learn from your mistakes and do your best then you will be a successful blogger.
