Hello everyone, and happy new month.

I wanna share a quick guide with us on how to start a profitable blog.

I've been blogging - it's my source of income online based on building different niche sites.

I won't go into the actual building process, if you want a guide on that I will leave a link to a video for you to learn more about it.

Basically, when it comes down to blogging, you need.

1. Careful Keyword Research - that involves Targeting the right set of keywords with little to medium competition so you can get the fastest results possible.

As a new blog, if you want to make money fast you will target, let's say a keyword that has 100-2000 searches a month.

This low search terms are mostly easy to rank for.

Some tools you can use for keyword research include AnswerThePublic, Kwfinder (free trial), Google autosuggest and Google Planner.

When you're done with this one, you move on to create content.

2. Content Creation - first off, you want to create pillar content ideally above 1200 words and make sure it's optimized for your sets of target keywords you researched on.

Include the keywords in the beginning part, middle and end.

3. Link back to the article - Building quality backlinks from high DA relevant websites on an ongoing basis.

Although it's not easy but it's worth it because that's the secret source of ranking a blog post.

This is a topic on its own but first, you will want to rank the new blog on Google. You can check out this guide -
