If the name is not available, keep tinkering with your choices until you get one that is available, then proceed to step 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">#3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Register your domain name<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">After confirming the name availability, the next thing you do is to register that domain name.\u00a0 You can register your domain name through the many domain name registrars available, like Godaddy and Namecheap.\u00a0 There are also Nigerian based domain registration services providers.\u00a0 One of the advantages of registering your domain name with a Nigerian domain service is the ease of payment.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">You pay in Naira.\u00a0 You are also able to get the .ng or .com.ng domain which easily shows you are a Nigerian based business.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">#4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Host Your Domain<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">After registering your domain name, the next step is to get a hosting service. A web host stores all the files, pictures and content on your blog and makes them accessible to the public. An important factor for consideration when choosing a web host are uptime, speed, support, load time, cost.\u00a0 When it comes to blogs, Bluehost has a reputation as the most popular and price friendly hosting services.\u00a0 It is perhaps, the only hosting service that has an official recommendation by WordPress.\u00a0 This blog is on Bluehost.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">#5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <strong>Select a Blogging Platform<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">The next thing you do after buying a hosting service is to install blogging software to bring your blog to life.\u00a0 A blogging platform is what enables you to bring your blog to life. There are a lot of them but the most popular are WordPress and Blogger.\u00a0 Both are free to use including themes, layouts, and add-ons.\u00a0 But WordPress provides more freedom and customization, hence many blogs including this one runs on WordPress.\u00a0 There are over 72 million active users of WordPress globally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">These platforms also provide the opportunity of hosting blogs on their domain and these are absolutely free. If you decide to take that route you need not register a domain name nor host your blog on any of the paid hosting services.\u00a0 Your blog address will be like this: <em>yourchosenname.wordpress.com<\/em>, or <em>yourchosenname.blogger.com<\/em> depending on which service you are using.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">The issue with using a free hosted blog is that you have no control whatsoever over your blog and there are limited customization features; your blog address will be long and you may not be able to do serious business with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Self-hosting your blog will cost you some money but gives you a lot of advantage and freedom to build your blog to your taste.\u00a0 I advise that if you hope to make some money with your blog (I expect that\u2019s why you are reading this post), get a self-hosted domain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">#6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Design Your Blog<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">With the installation of a blogging platform, such as WordPress, you are now set to design your blog.\u00a0 You do this by choosing your themes, creating your pages, installing plug-ins and optimizing your blog for search engines.\u00a0 You can choose from so many free themes and plugins available on WordPress or buy premium themes to use advanced features.

Monetizing your blog is an ongoing process that can be scaled as you progress and gain experience in your blogging business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #333399;\"><strong>Now, How to Make Money With Your Blog<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Now that you know how to start a blog, how do you make money with it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">There are many different ways to monetize your blog or make money with; I share a few of the most common strategies below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Google Adsense.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">For most bloggers, Google Adsense provides the easiest route to monetizing their blogs.\u00a0\u00a0 This blog utilizes Google Adsense as part of its monetization strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Google AdSense is the most popular ad network programme where Google publishes its advertising partner\u2019s adverts on approved websites and share revenue with the publishers.\u00a0 Google will display these ads on your page and once a visitor clicks on the ad, you get a fraction of the ad revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">The challenge for you here, however, is in <a href=\"https:\/\/kobotalk.com\/BLOG\/steps-to-getting-your-google-adsense-account-approved-on-first-application\/\">getting your blog approved for Google Adsense<\/a> because there are strict conditions that publishing partners must meet to join the network.\u00a0 Moreover, to make reasonable money from Google Adsense or other similar Ad networks for that matter, your blog must be attracting a reasonable amount of traffic.\u00a0 High traffic blogs and websites earn good money from Google Adsense.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">There are other ad networks available on the web such as Revenue Hits, MediaNet, Chikita, Propeller Ad Media, info links amongst many others but Adsense offers the most opportunity so much that these other networks are described simply as alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sell Ad Spaces<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Many bloggers also sell ad spaces to business organizations and individuals who need exposure.\u00a0 If you have grown your blog to command some level of popularity in your niche, you can start to sell ad spaces to organizations relevant to your audience.\u00a0 Before you prospect for display ads make sure that your blog is fairly popular.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Alexa used to be a popular tool for checking the popularity of websites but Amazon has discontinued the service.\u00a0 Moz, Semrush and some other website analyzers provide tools you can use to check your website traffic and other important details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Affiliate Marketing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">This is another good way of making money with your blog.\u00a0 Indeed there are bloggers who use this single strategy to make tons of money online.\u00a0 Affiliate marketing requires that you identify a product or service that is relevant to your audience, sign up as an affiliate of the producers of the product or service and use your platform to promote the product or service to your audience.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Any sale recorded through your affiliate link will earn you a commission.\u00a0 There are links in this post and other posts on this blog that are affiliate links. If you click those links they will take you to the merchant website and if you buy the product or service, I get paid a commission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Some Affiliate programs pay as much as 50% commission while others pay as little as 10%.\u00a0 Some of the places you can sign up with good affiliate programs include Amazon, JVZoo and so many more.\u00a0 For Nigerian based programs, Jumia and Konga offer good opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sell Products and Services<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Another profitable strategy to make money with your blog is to sell your own products.\u00a0 These products can either be physical products or digital products such as eBooks, software, app, and courses. There are bloggers I know who use their sites to launch mini importation business and today are doing so on a large scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Dedicate a page as your online store using the woocommerce plug-in and promote your products. An effective way to sell to your audience is to build a list of subscribers through your blog, interact regularly with them through quality and relevant information and then sell your product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Sell products that are relevant to your kind of audience.\u00a0 You will not be taken seriously if your blog is about how to maintain high-end mobile phones and you are promoting viagra or other sexual enhancement products to your audience. This is why it is important that you choose a niche that can easily be monetized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">You can also sell your services or skills through your blog. For instance, if you are a teacher and run a blog about good schools in Nigeria, you could use it as a platform to sell your coaching classes which can be organized either offline or online.\u00a0 I use this blog to sell consulting services in the area of business plan writing as well investment advisory.\u00a0 You can check the <a href=\"https:\/\/kobotalk.com\/BLOG\/engage-us\/\">engage us<\/a> page to see other services that I render.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Publish and sell information products<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">People are always looking for how-to guides and other kinds of information to improve their income, health, relationship, etc.\u00a0 Look for information that your audience might be interested in, write a comprehensive guide, package it in form of an eBook or video and sell to them.\u00a0 This has become a sure money making strategy for bloggers. For so many bloggers information products are money spinners and effective business strategies that cannot be equaled by other monetization methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Sponsored Posts<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">When you have a loyal followership and good amount of traffic, you can begin to make money through sponsored posts.\u00a0 Business organizations in your niche will want you to promote their products or services through reviews and advertorials.\u00a0 They will either write material for you to publish on your blog for a specified period of time or you write for them and publish in like manner.\u00a0 You charge for such services.\u00a0 Very popular blogs make a good chunk of money through sponsored posts and product reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; color: #333399;\"><strong>Last Words<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 20px;\">Yes, blogging can be a very rewarding and viable way of making money online.\u00a0 Indeed, there are a lot of wealthy bloggers\u00a0 many more are making the list every hour.\u00a0 But it is not as easy as it may sound. Blogging is a serious business that takes a lot of time to mature.\u00a0 Like most serious businesses, it requires hard work and patience for you to make money.\u00a0 It may take from a couple of months to a couple of years before you earn your first dollar.
