Keyword research and SEO. My advice is, to take your time to learn before venturing into it. If you have already, stop thinking about money and learn first. I started 13 years ago, it took me one year to make my first $100 ( it was $97 ). But today, I make between $6000-$12000 per month with most months now averaging $12,000.
Keyword research will not only tell you what to write about, but it will also ensure you only write about what people are searching for and what you have a reasonable chance of ranking for.
I do SEO and I honestly think everyone who wants to do digital marketing should learn SEO. You can't get traffic without proper knowledge of SEO. And you know what? You can learn everything for free. There are tons of videos on youtube.
flames007: Successful bloggers please i need your help and mentorship.
Blogging can be lucrative, no doubt - if you know what you're doing. Five years ago, if anyone one told me that i would be in the blogging business, i would have laughed. But now i'm working to launch my first ever blog and my goal is to reach an international audience, eventually, with it. I'm going to be blogging in the automobile niche btw.
So my question is: is it wise to want to target an international audience starting out? If yes, how would you advice to do it? If not, how can one make it by targeting only Nigerian markets?
kenniefawole: Reaching international audience shouldn’t be an agenda , if your content is good enough by default international audience will find it . Just ensure you focus on niche like automobile , health , insurance, cryptocurrency , business . . International traffic form top tier countries like USA , Canada , UK is more than enough to help you make over $100 - $500 daily .
Blogging remains one of the best business to invest In .
Blogging is one of the most profitable venture , having a business that pays in dollars is a big flex in a country with a weak currency

I have learnt keyword research and various tools at my disposal to use. I have learnt SEO though still at beginners stage.
I took almost 6 month of 2 hours daily to learn and upgrade as what you learnt today might be obsolete tomorrow.
Your figure blow my mind but I am aware it's achievable as I have heard alot of other international bloggers mention such figures so not surprised.
Well done Boss.
I think what most bloggers lack is motivation and developmental information.
I set up a blog since last year, and I haven't paid attention to it. I was thinking of the strategy to used when I came across this post.
I am targeting audience from US, UK, Canada and Australia as my primary audience.
I have everything I need to start. I have just been dragging and getting distracted by different other hustle.
Work on your content and SEO...... Make sure it's relevant to your audience Use a writing style that your audience will find professional and relatable. You can outsource the writing if you have money. Check out other websites/competitors in your niche who are doing well and try to analyse their site , and get inspiration from them to tweak your own... Research about the ad that matches your site content u intend to monetise.. Grow your traffic with ur consistency and SEO ....... U keep learning Sha... Use a .com domain since u are targeting those countries.... . You can also research your hosting to be sure they have nodes close to those country..... . Work on your site loading time too..cos people from that country expect a site to load within 2sec max....if your site lags in loading .it can seriously affect your traffic ........ . Just keep learning and never think u haev arrived. Thanks.
einsteine: Proper keyword research and link-building. Write articles based on searches by the audience you want. You don't write articles and find an audience. You look for what the audience is searching for and produce a better resource than what is available. Of course, this is a slow method.
If you have a good budget, SEM (adwords and co) or Native advertising (Taboola, for instance) can help you get quick audience. This is the fast method.
Of course, keywords research is a must, and i'm already handling that aspect. Thanks for your input.
yankeecoder: Why start a blog and not a forum that you can retain members and get them to post as well ? If you want to start a forum website like nairaland, I have the software with paystack integration and additional features like marketplace where users can upload ebooks and other digital contents for sale and you as the forum owner will earn a percentage from each sell, you can make steady income as a webmaster just like Seun does by selling your own ad spaces and running google adsense at the same time
Hmm.....that also works. How much will it cost me if i wanted to build a forum with a dedicated marketplace. Say i want the forum to be about automobiles and i want it to have a market place where people can post ads?
Bruh, ab3g check my own www.nairalux.com I have adsense already but I'm under 1 month suspension which will expire this week Thursday and ads will resume on my website
the main reason most times is that you are clicking your website as the admin in which google is against which can lead to block you can change that in the settings page
Ekundayo7574: the main reason most times is that you are clicking your website as the admin in which google is against which can lead to block you can change that in the settings page
Those are local tlds, they primarily target locals.
Don't host with a Nigerian company. Get a foreign host. I use hostkoala with with bunny CDN and a cache plugin.
Your post should contain information of target country: you wouldn't be talking about cars and mentioning tokunbo, you are telling Google to show your posts to the region asking for tokunbo.
Naturally, a site that was hosted on a foreign server will get tragic from anywhere in the world. You'll stylishly include your main target country in some posts. E.g if you're writing about baby diapers, you can talk about USA quality control for the diapers.
I currently run a blogging journey I posted in the business section.
Hello, please which plan of hostkoala is good for blogging?

do you mean classified ads ? You need to have a 70 to 100k budget atleast. I currently have the one with a digital content marketplace and E-wallet for users to deposit cash via paystack to run ads and buy things on the forum, I'm selling the software for N150,000 though you can bargain for it if you have something to offer in exchange for a discount, it has every feature nairaland has, likes, shares, following/followers, private messaging, mentions e.t.c

If there is really money in it why don't you create it and run it so you can have all the money to yourself.
All the bloggers I know here on nairaland all claim they make good money, however if you talk to them all they want to sell is one lousy course or ebook to you. And them claim say them get money

This is like asking car manufacturers why they sell cars rather than become cab drivers themselves. I am not selling a course, I am selling a customized software built from scratch that people can use to create a forum like nairaland. Ask around, it's very profitable on the long run, nairaland is a good example
Okay, thanks for the tips. meanwhile, if you need your phone to be on all day then I advice you get the Oraimo power bank that last long and is easy to carry about because of how sleek the design is.

I wouldn't have time to manage it, I'm currently engaged, I actually intended to use it myself in the first place, I never had plan to sell it.
yankeecoder: I wouldn't have time to manage it, I'm currently engaged, I actually intended to use it myself in the first place, I never had plan to sell it.
I see... It's understandable
Why I quoted your earlier though is because some bloggers here are scam bloggers
I'm aware that it's possible to find everything on the internet, but I can tell you that it takes a lot of time to become actually good at it, and that's why it's better to contact specialists. When I decided to use SEO as a marketing startegy, I contacted SEO Company Cork to help me increase organic traffic, and I can tell you that with a reliable company, you'll have beneficial and long-term results.
