prowitin: Hmm not bad for a blog that is not even up to 2months old. been off the grid for a while. Did not go too far am on Domaning trying to get the right domain tricks for my next blog so I can sell at a good price come December.

crestime: @OP, i will say to you, Very correct statement but Very very wrong strategy. You can more than possibly become a multi millionaire(in dollars) within a year only when you know and apply the right things in blogging.
DEAL BREAKER: YOU CAN ONLY MAKE DIRTY MONEY BLOGGING WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SELL. Otherwise, we have what we call World Wide Waste of time.
If you want to become really comfortable and make it big in blogging within a year, you have to:

1. Choose a profitable niche(i.e. A niche that has many serious businesses that can advertise with you / a niche that has many willing buyers and products to sell - I like niches like freight/exports/imports)

2. Sell > Advertise - selling on your blog is more profitable than advertising. You have to Start selling from day 1. If possible, make all your posts like a sales copy(i.e. Try to sell to the reader at the end of each post) or put related product banners around your posts. Advertising can come later. That is biscuit money.

3. Know your key audience - if you are a pro and want to sell physical products, seminars, consultations or contact services and get your cash in your bank account in Nigeria, then you need to be disciplined enough to know that you must target only Nigerians. But if you are just starting out and you don't need much stress about receiving payments and making clarifications, you may want to sell affiliate products to your readers. For this, I recommend you don't target Nigerians at all. Instead, target the US and use amazon associate programme. I think they are smooth.

4. Get a good keyword domain name - get a domain name that describes your blog(e.g, if you write about tracking shipments, your domain name could be something like easyshipmenttracker dot com). This will help your seo and your blog will likely show up when people google how to track their shipments easily.

5. You can make money from the first day - stop scaring people away by saying that they need more years to make money from their blogs. If your blog does not pay you in the first 3 months then, you are among the clueless majority. It means that you lack monetization ideas. If you can really have a solid strategy, be interesting with your posts, and engage with your readers, they will buy from you from the very first day if they want to.
6. You don't need high traffic - it is sad how people put all their interests on traffic numbers but yet make next to nothing out of it, even if they get the traffic. As far as I'm concerned, I don't need a lindaikeji-esque blog. I need a blog in a niche where I can sell. Simple. I don't need traffic. I don't need a million visitors. I don't even need a thousand page views. I will be very satisfied if I can just get only 100 interested and willing buyers everyday. If I can sell to them and make them very satisfied, they'll tell others about me. That's free marketing + trusted customers. Is this not business?.......
I have more than enough tips coming. If you want me to continue, just like my post

Where is this op?

I just opened my blog 29th. I need to change the name as in from hope4breastcancer to something else and I'm finding it difficult to do that.

Secondly I'm finding it hard to add some footnotes to my blog title . Something like giving hope and inspiration to cancer sufferers.

Lastly I will like to own my own domain. I currently use blogger.com

I'm not writing to make money pls. Just writing to help other women going through similar situation.

Hi Prowitin and all the bloggers in the house

I commend you for a great job you are doing.
I have a challenge that I need your advise on.
I am a young medical doctor and a writer. I have decided to finally start a health blog after so much procrastination. My challenge however is deciding on whether or not to focus on a national audience or a global one.
I will have preferred to focus on a national audience but I seem not to be able to lay my hands on a successful local health blog that focuses on only the Nigerian audience.
Also, If I am to focus on the Nigerian audience, will it be wise for me to just pick a particular subniche or to write on general health stuffs since I am streamlining my audience to the Nigerian internet users alone.
I am just trying to make up my mind on this but I keep getting confused. Please a little advise on this issue will do.

Thanks.

Nursing the idea of Movies,WWE,Techs/gadget, And lastly a site 4 Nigerian lyrics only. I want to av 2blogs like ah said 1 to attract intenational audience n the other just 4 naija.

I would av jumped to start a simple site about Naija lyrics but i'm not a fan ov naija music n that will affect my proposed blog. Chai wat other niche do u guys suggest that i should start that av nt yet been crowded by naija bloggers?

Secondly, i dont av an android planing to get bb z3 when i av enough money n also idnt av a p.c how possible can an X2 nokia phone owner fair in blogging? Or should i wait till I get my Unilorin Tab? Hope u can use tablet to do blogging ??

OP, thanks so much for the wonderful job. It's good to have you as a voluntary mentor, lol. I used the word "voluntary mentor" because I know there are alot of aspiring bloggers like myself out there face with so many questions on how to overcome the many challenges, or even how to start blogging. And you have so made yourself available for the wonderful service. Thanks so much.

I set up a blog sometime a go under motivational niche, although I have not been putting up contents there.

My question are:

1. Do you think the motivational niche is a good one and can attract good traffic? (Because that is my passion and I can write good contents on that)

2. If I want to start blogging on health, wealth or relationship niche which seemed to be the biggest niche, since I know little about that and I can hardly get good content on my own. Will it be appropriate if I should get articles online, publish on my blog and stating the Authour's name there(to avoid plagiarism/copy right infringement)?

3. If I should do No.2 (publishing different authour's articles on my blog), what possible effects(-ve and +ve) will it have on my blog.

I'd really appreciate your analytical answers.

Thanks and God bless you abundantly.

Absolutly nothing wrong. Nice nitch we just have tolook for a way to. Get the info on your blog out there for them to see and make more traffic. My blog is 4months old and Your domain is 5months nice. I love thetemplate. Let's get more traffic together

prowitin:
Yes that is a. Good nitch even better if you are a serious/pro. Speaker Or a Pastor It makes it easy.
There is nothing wrong in sourcing for info on line as long as you Quote the source Or Edit it in your own Words. But going in to health, wealth or relationship is risky if you don't hv a passion for it Overtime you Will get tired. In short time Self. Imagine you opened a blog on your passion and yet you could not update it na health, wealth or relationship u go Come do well?
