Keyword research is really important when it comes about driving targeted traffic to a website or blog. If you are a new blog owner, you should target long tail keywords where you see blogs or websites with less authority doing well on Google search.

Q9. What is the importance of Email Marketing in Blogging? 

Answer by Ravi Dixit

Email marketing is very crucial for any business not only for blogging in my POV, it is all about converting your one-time customers/visitors/users into long-time loyal-members.

If you start capturing your visitors’ email addresses from the starting of your blogging journey, it will make it easy for you to succeed in blogging. Because eventually, you are creating a community of people who are interested in your niche. 

In more simple words, you’re owning the traffic or building your eco-system.

By having an email list of loyal-members, you don’t need to depend on Google’s traffic and don’t need to hope that if your post will rank then you’ll have huge traffic on your blog. 

Instead of this, when you publish new content on your blog, you just need to let your email subscribers know that you have a new content for them to read. As they are interested in your niche and hungry for more information, they will come and read your content. 

So, you are getting traffic without the help of Google.

And Email Marketing can also help in increasing your income from your blog, you can promote affiliate products and deals to your email subscribers, as they are already interested, there are the high chances of conversion.

Q10. How do you see Blogging as a full-time career in 2020-21? Is it too late or anyone can make their career in Blogging?

Answer by Myil Raj. G

Anyone can start a blog anytime. It’s never too late or never too earlier. Just a small calculation, if you start today, you will be ahead of some million people to reach success. If you start tomorrow, you are behind a million people. That’s the difference.

If someone wants to start blogging as a full-time career, he/she must know that blogging is not a get rich quick scheme. It will take time to develop authority, grow your network, and increase your visibility. Blogging is a business and not a job. You will gain only if you nurture some value to the community.

You should put more effort and wait patiently to see your results.

1. Success always takes time. Traffic to your blog takes time.

2. Growth always takes time. It will take time for people to love your content.

3. Set multiple short-term goals, and a few long-term goals. Write your goals in a note, and start filling it every-day. Don’t forget to write what you have done for your career by the end of the day.

Answer by Ravi Dixit

When you are planning to start monetizing your blog with Affiliate Marketing, the first thing you need to do is to understand your niche.

Yes, it is very important when you are planning to make money through your blog using Affiliate Marketing. 

Because without understand your niche properly, you won’t be able to find the perfect products to promote and earn some commission.

After that, do market research and find out what products you can promote. This can be easier if you spy your competitors and find out what they are promoting. With the help of Competitors analysis, you won’t need to do your market research from scratch, it will be a time-saver for you.

Once you get the products that your competitors are promoting and making money through, now it is the time to join their affiliate programs and start promoting them on your blog.

So, this is the right procedure you can follow to monetize your blog with affiliate marketing.

Here is one thing that I want to add, take benefit of Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sale every year because this is the goldmine for Affiliate marketers to earn a huge amount in just a week. 

Because all online brands offer huge discounts on their products and you as an affiliate marketer has a great chance to promote your niche-relevant products and earn good money.

And yes, Affiliate marketing can be a primary source to make money from a blog. Even I and other bloggers are having it as their primary source of income to make money.

Q13. How do you see Blogging as a Passive Income in 2020-21 and onwards? Is it sufficient to opt Blogging as a Primary career option now?

Answer by Anil Agarwal

No doubt Blogging and digital marketing as a career is growing and is going to reach greater heights in the coming years. 

Coming to the question of choosing Blogging as a full time career, I would suggest to start blogging as a side hustle. From blogging, you are not going to get revenue from day 1. You may have to wait for a year at least to start seeing positive results from your blogging efforts.

Once you reach a level where you can take care of your daily needs with your blog earnings only, you can give a thought to opting blogging as a full time career.

Q14. What will be the monthly cost for any new Blogger if he will use all paid versions for Blogging like Domain, Hosting, Theme, and Essential Plugins?

Answer by Santanu Debnath

To start a blog in WordPress, you need a High quality hosting + domain which may come under Rs 5,000. You will find even cheaper plans, but this is an average amount. On top of that, if you want to spend money on premium tools & themes, that will depend on where exactly you want to invest. But as a beginner, I would say a hosting + domain with a free theme like GeneratePress is good enough to start. Gradually they can learn and invest further as per their needs.

Q15. “Side Hustle Beta Course” is very popular online course. Please share something about it?

Answer by Amol Chavan

While running Growthfunda Side hustle blog, I came across that there is huge knowledge base available on the Side hustles like Blogging, Affiliate Marketing, Freelancing, etc. but no one covers the topic that touch the real problem of getting started and share lights on the multiple Side Hustles.

However, the major problem I found, many folks who are running into 9-5 job do not know where to start, what are side hustles, they are stuck in taking decision, they are not motivated, they are running behind shinning object syndrome (fake money making Scams)

Therefore, I thought to launch a beginner’s course, “Side Hustle Beta”

It is a perfect beta course, to clear understanding and get knowledge on the different side hustles, how to side hustle along with job, how to maximize the potential of side hustles by doing multiple side hustles, what are best side hustle opportunities, how to start them, etc.

Overall, to the individuals this course gives inner realization to take action and kick start Side Hustle Journey.

Q16. Which one is the main income source of Blogger between Google Adsense and Affiliate Marketing?

Answer by Anil Agarwal

If you ask me, between adsense and affiliate marketing, affiliate marketing is helping us with more revenue than Google Adsense. When I started working on BloggersPassion, I was using Google Adsense ads only. But once I started using affiliate marketing as a way to monetize my blog, I never looked back at Google Adsense. 

If you have a blog where you talk about different products, you may end up making more revenue with affiliate marketing. And if you are mostly writing education contents, you can give a try to Google Adsense or similar monetization methods.

To make good revenue with Adsense type networks, you need a good amount of traffic on your blog. And with Affiliate marketing, you can make hell lots of money with very little traffic if it’s relevant.

Answer by Santanu Debnath

There is a huge demand for regional languages and the existing content is not enough. So if you are good at writing in regional language and feeling comfortable then go for that. I am blogging in English and also tried with Hindi content, but didn’t get any success though.
