Bbsharon, from your post, I can decipher that money is the main factor that drove you into blogging in the first place. But then you realized you couldnt keep up with what others do to earn adsense money hence your deviation.

Now it's possible for you to write original content, and as well earn some good money, but you need make sure that you have a target niche which you can write your contents about eg. Fashion. You can write your opinion on different wears, make up accessories, footwears, Hairstyles, latest fashion trends etc. Now if you have passion for such a niche as this, you will mainly be stating your opinion and you won't need to copy someone's blog, at most you might make some references, Google up some images for your post and that's all.
Note that the niche you chann your creative writing towards, will form your audience, for instance if you write mainly about women fashion, your audience will mainly be teenage girls to women below 50. Now with the kind of audience, Google will pay more for fashion adverts on your blog than they will for gossip blogs cos those kind of blogs don't have a specialized audience, like yours.

I'm not a guru or expert in niches but you can look up one or two people to help you, and discuss how your passion can be linked to a niche..

Asides that, you only need to get a custom domain for your blog (abcdef. com) and change your current blogger template to a responsive one..

Don't mind those asking you to move to WordPress, you're not a programmer or web developer, moving to WP will mean you paying a chunk of money for hosting yearly, depending on someone to design and manage your WP for you from time to time, more complicated functions you don't know about. Stick with blogger, Lindaikeji been using it since day1, so are many big blogs.

Okay this isn't bbsharon but what you said is really true...please do check out my blog www.tonyesheartbeat.com I'm also in similar niche but I vowed to write my self and be creative at it too ..

I feel like this is coming from me. I started blogging last year and I had to dive into the entertainment niche simply because that's what people were after. Am a good writer though but lifting post and images online to post on my blog was so unsatisfying. I wasn't blogging for the passion of it. I kept doing that for almost six months and the comments on my blog were one I had to urge people to which they did in a perfunctory manner cause I'm friend.. I gave up finally thereby deleting the blog that has caused me so much misery.

Few weeks ago, I set up another blog but this time around, I was blogging as a result of passion. just within a month of setting up the blog, I have gotten over a total of 30 comments. That's pretty good for a fresher like me. Am more happy and enthusiastic about my next post cause is coming from me. I never knew I was a good writer until last few weeks.

Thanks for sharing your testimony op.

Well great you wanna stand out, but then your blog domain is not standing out, your template is not standing out, your platform is not standing out, the idea of using personal as domain is a cliche' and it's not standing out, i also think your supposed original content may not stand out as well, needless to say your niche? same old story. If you wanna stand out think about these facts. To earn a dime online you have to think of one thing and and one only, and that is: what problem can you solve for your readers through your content? if you can't solve any problem for them am afraid they will not earn you anything. My humble opinion about blogging.

AnodaIT:
Like I always say, Nigerians are extremists.

So you deleted your posts cos you couldn't keep up with the rush and turn to original content. Both extreme ends.

Check Google search, most strikes there are gists and celebrity stuff, ask yourself why are people clicking if you think it is just trash?

That's why even some professional bloggers do operate 2 or 3 blogs, the keep one as their passion and open another for amebor, some even take it further to open indecent blogs. You may never know that the blogger you admire is running a Porn blog and most times, he is making more money from it than his "passionate" blog.

You can still get the best of both world, feed the masses with the celebrity rubbish and make cool cash while creating quality content for your targeted audience

Very good one Sharon. You've discovered the first step to all this: self-expression. Now as long as you want to make money at all, you MUST question what the market wants. It must not be gossip, it must not be politics. But demand exists and to make money, demand must be satisfied. That is business. Now imagine you discover where your personal passion and a demand in the market meet UNDER ONE TOPIC. Instant gold! This is what you're looking for my friend. This is the goldmine of every life fulfilling business. Hit me up on Whatsapp 08185880605. We'll find this niche topic where you can fit in well and let's also discuss branding. Very important.

P.S: Quote me when you get this please. I need to take my number off here soon. Thanks

VocalWalls:
You don't need that much traffic... You just need impressions, and 50 views per day is okay.

VocalWalls:
Damilola, right now you don't need traffic, what you need is Adsense, after which you can jump and become the next Linda.

You see many people crying for Adsense? Don't let it be you.

VocalWalls:
I noticed a grammatical error. And most importantly, you won't be able to get Adsense, your posts are very similar as if they are copied. That's a problem with your niche.

Except you like amebor, I'll advise you look for something else you're passionate about, and write about it.
