It is possible to create a free blog very easily through Blogger and earn money by monetizing the blog through Google AdSense.
Today’s article discusses step by step how to create a free blog on blogspot and earn money through Google AdSense. Before knowing the whole subject well, I have discussed some important questions and their answers below.
What does blog mean?
A blog is a type of website or online journal where new articles or content on various topics are published. Newly published articles are displayed first.
In other words, a blog is like an online diary, where you can write articles on any topic you want and people can read those articles.
You can create an online blog and write on the topic that you have good knowledge or experience in.
When an article is published on a blog with all the information about a specific topic or subject, it is called a blog article. Blog articles are created with different types of content such as text, images, audio, video.
The real purpose of creating a blog is to share various necessary information with people online.
Every blog has a comment section, where people can present their comments about that article.
If you have a computer, smartphone or laptop and an internet connection, you can easily create your own blog online and earn money from it.
What does free blog mean?
You have learned above about what a blog means. Now, there are two types of blogs. For example: free blogs and paid blogs.
When you do not have to spend money to create a blog, it is a free blog. This means that you can create a blog for free without any investment.
Usually, to create a website or blog, a domain name and hosting are first required.
We have to pay money to buy this domain and hosting.
But there are several free blogging platforms online, which give everyone the opportunity to create a blog for free.
Some such free blogging platforms are blogger, wordpress, wix, medium, quora etc.
The best free online blogging platform among these is Blogger.
When you create a blog using blogger, Google will provide you with the hosting required for your blog completely free of cost.
In addition, with hosting, you will be given a subdomain, which you can use as the URL address of your blog or website.
So when you create a blog using such free website builder platforms, it is a free blog.
And among all the platforms, blogger or blogspot is one of the platforms through which you can easily and completely free to create a blog and earn income from the blog.
How to make money from a free blog?
I have shown you well above how to create a free blog on Blogger. Now it is very important for you to know how to earn money after creating a free blog.
I have already told you that you can earn money from an online blog sitting at home. And it does not matter whether you are creating a free blog or a paid blog to earn money by writing articles sitting at home.
However, if you want to earn money from a free or paid blog, then you must know some important things first.
To earn money from a blog, give more importance to the following things.
Start writing SEO Friendly Content
If you want to earn a good amount of money from your blog through Google Adsense, then you need to get a good amount of traffic or visitors from search engines.
The more traffic comes to your blog, the more clicks will be made on the advertisements you show, which will also increase your income in your Adsense account.
But unfortunately, if you are completely new to the blogging sector, then it will be difficult for you to get traffic to your blog from Google search.
For this, you have to learn all the things related to SEO or Search Engine Optimization yourself and apply those new SEO strategies or techniques to your blog to increase traffic.
Below are some simple tips for writing SEO friendly blog posts, which will help you increase traffic to your free blog.
✔ Give more importance to internal linking. This means that when you write a new blog post, add links to the previously written posts in that post. This will help your blog rank higher in search engines.
✔ Don’t make your blog post title longer than 70 characters. Because long titles are not considered SEO friendly and do not show up in Google searches. So try to keep the post title short.
✔ Always write articles targeting the reader. Then optimize the article for search engines. Do not use targeted keywords repeatedly in articles. This is called keyword stuffing. Google can penalize your blog for this.
✔ Try to keep the loading speed of your blog fast. Because Google gives more importance to fast loading blogs than slow loading blogs and ranks blogs with fast loading speed above all in search results.
Select a specific blogging niche
Blogging niche means that you have to choose the topic on which you will write on your blog first.
You can blog on any topic. You can select the topic that you have good skills and experience in as your blog’s niche.
You can create blogs on various topics. For example: fashion blog, real estate blog, book blog, food blog, sport blog, technology blog, etc.
That is, you can select the topic that you are an expert on as the main topic of your blog and publish articles related to that topic on your blog.
If you want, you can write articles on multiple topics in a blog. However, it is best to write on any one or two topics.
Get your blog indexed in Google search engine
After creating a new blog, you must submit your blog to Google search engine.
Because, until you submit a new blog to Google, Google will not know about your blog and will not show your blog in search results.
You can easily submit your blog to Google through the Google search console tool. You can create a sitemap of the blog and submit it to Google.
When you submit your blog to Google with a sitemap, Google will gradually start indexing your blog articles and showing them in its search results.
In this way, you can also submit your blog to the Bing search engine.
Get Google AdSense Approval on Blog
When you start publishing SEO friendly and high quality content on your blog, you must pay attention to getting Google AdSense approval on your blog.
Because, most people use Blogger to create their free blogs for this.
If you also have created a free blog with the intention of earning from Google AdSense, then you don’t have to wait too long.
You can get Google AdSense approval on your blog within four to six months. However, for this, your blog must have a good amount of traffic from search engines.
If you publish one article on your blog every day, then at least 100 articles will be published on your blog in four months.
If each article is SEO Optimized, 500 unique visitors will definitely come to your blog from Google search every day.
And then you can get Google Adsense approval and start earning from your free blog.
5 Useful SEO Tips for Free Blogspot Blog
I hope you have a clear idea about what you need to do after creating a blog.
Now let’s find out what tasks you need to do to get a lot of visitors from Google search engine to your blog.
- Give more importance to On-page SEO
If you want to get a good amount of traffic to your blog from search engines, then you need to do On-page optimization of your articles very well.
The keyword that you target to write the article must be used in the title, image alt text, internal links, h2 h3 subheadings of the article.
In this way, you can SEO optimize your article with a specific keyword, so there will be a chance to get more traffic from search engines.
- Write the article by doing keyword research
To bring visitors to the blog from search engines, writing the article by doing keyword research is very important.
You can do keyword research easily and for free with the help of keyword research tools like ahrefs, google keyword planner, keyword intent, SEMrus etc.
For example, “free website creation” is a keyword. Now if you want to write an article targeting this keyword, then you need to know whether people are searching on Google for this keyword or how many people are searching on this topic, what is the competition for this keyword?
If people are not searching on Google for a keyword, or if a keyword has no search volume, then no matter how good an article you create for that keyword, your article will not get traffic from search engines.
So the role of keyword research is essential in blogging.
- Do not publish copyrighted content
Most new bloggers publish copyrighted content on their blogs. I have seen many new bloggers who create a free blog on the Blogger platform and do this.
But they don’t know that Google’s algorithm is very clever. Google algorithm can easily identify copyright content.
And those who constantly publish copied content on their blogs to increase their blog traffic, Google gradually reduces the search ranking of those blogs.
Google can even delete your blog at any time.
So instead of publishing copyright content, spend some time and effort researching and writing unique content.
- Do image optimization for search engines
To create a beautiful and high-quality content, you must add pictures or images to the content.
Adding pictures or images to the article can bring traffic from Google image search.
However, remember, never upload copyright images to the blog. Images downloaded directly from Google cannot be used in blog articles.
If you use copyright images on your blog, you may face problems getting Google Adsense approval.
When adding images to the article, you must try to create or edit them yourself.
You can also collect the necessary images from free stock images websites. For example: pixabay, pixels etc.
- Promote your blog
In addition to creating a blog and publishing beautiful articles there, you need to promote your blog to people.
In this way, people will know about your blog and the popularity of the blog will increase.
This is another strategy to get traffic to the blog. How to promote your blog is briefly explained below.
- Share your blog on social media.
- Guest post on other blogs related to your blog topic and link to your blog.
- Share your blog articles on various online question and answer websites or discussion forums.
- Share your blog articles on Facebook pages or groups with a lot of followers.
