Domain name could be as low as N500 if you use a coupon especially from Godaddy and 1and1 .
Part of being a blogger is knowing how to get information, so don't expect me to tell you how.

And my friend, if you want to host your blog for free, never go to WordPress. WordPress is the best ONLY when you are paying for host

Lol..N500 for godaddy.
If you try and buy a domain at godaddy with that coupon...when the next year reaches,you will quit that domain name,cos you will pay around N5000 for that year depending on the exchange rate with dollar

then you are wrong. They have lots of search terms and lsi.entertainment search terms is even mostly searched than other niche. You even get more weired hidden search terms for celebrities and their music. Some one searching for when did micheal jackson died. Most entertainment blogs don't add seo to their articles probably because they follow the bandwagons. If you do keyword research on entertainments, then you will know they have more search terms than any other niche. Instead of writing 2face just released a new single, there is a search term people are using to search for that single while those who followed the bandwagons gets zero traffic because they only write what they copied, no lsi, no keyword for what people are searching..check this example search term for 2face from a keyword research tool and you will understand that lots of searches are done by people but most bloggers only copy and paste in entertainment blogs without adding the search terms and lsi. The tool even have the ability to automatically do a domain name availability search for the keywords

Have you also considered that music sites hardly write up to 100 words for each song post?

They'll have to hold on to title optimization and and image optimization, in order to get remarkable results.

BTW, what keyword tool is that?

Taking out time out of my busy schedule to write blog post is not an easy task, though i manage to write at least 2 blog post every day.

No AdSense or enough traffic yet but I believe I'll get there soon.

my blog
www.udemzytech..com

My dear don't be discouraged.... Your post has reignited my interest in blogging. I am an entertainment blogger and my blog was doing real good before I left it, don't even know why I opted out for few months now. I'm annoyed right now, I'm going back to my blog with sincere apologies to my readers worldwide. www.coolgist.com

100 words is mostly done by them but for those who want to add SEO, they know what to do if they are not lazy.they can even come up with 500 words even if visitors don't feel like reading it just to spice it up for SEO. we all know that visitors are only interested in download of either their audio or video.

It is the best option for bloggers who wishes to start cheap, then depending on how well your blog is grown, you either transfer the domain name to any other cheaper alternative or you host your blog and transfer the domain to any other cheaper hosting

If a blog isn't worth paying 5k, then maybe it shouldn't exist in the first place.

500 is good for someone who isn't sure if he wants to follow this path.

macquis:
My names are Macquis Michelangelo Udochukwu and am a music Blogger.
Blarckbillboard a blog I started with the assistance of a friend and partner (Joshua) came into being on the 11th day of June 2016. In other words, the blog is barely two months old.

Being a music addict and a lover of literature I carefully thought of inventing a channel through which I could connect with music lovers as myself and most importantly contribute my quota to the growth of the Nigerian music industry. At that period in time in the year 2014 I conceived the whole music blogging idea. Though the idea of starting a music blog had been birthed in the year 2014, I never considered materializing the idea until after my service year in 2016.

My blogging experience so far ?

Blogging is quite difficult and time consuming, except you are nothing more than a plagiarist blogger.
Considering my blogging nitch the stress and difficulty is even doubled. Blarckbillboard most importantly deals with music news and reviews, and you will agree with me that the music industry both locally and internationally is always buzzing with one news update or the other.

Understanding the way things work in the media and blogosphere, the experienced news blogger strives to have a particular breaking news published on his/her blog first. If the news is hot enough, with adequate promotion of the blog post it could fetch the blog a lot of traffic. So I’ve had to constantly source for hot music news, rewrite them before publishing; write a detailed review on a new hit single; announce an upcoming music event and above all promote my blog posts on every available social media. Consequently, I’ve had to blog everyday, either in the sense of writing a new post or promoting one of my already published blog post, in other to make my baby-blog relevant to readers.

I recall nights when I’ve had to sleep for just 2 hrs owing to my sourcing for fresh music news to publish on the blog, and during the day spending long hours in a particular sitting position rewriting or typing a new post. The few hours I put into sleeping and relaxing my body both during the day and night began to take its toll on me as I fell ill few weeks into blogging. But my broken body wasn’t going to discourage me from pressing on. Even when the daily results I got paled in comparison to the hardwork and dedication I was putting into blogging.

Is my Blog being Successful ?

According to one source: “There are more than 164 million blogs… Most of these blogs get less than 1,000 visitors per month, and the harsh reality is, the majority of those blogs are, for lack of a better word, failures”.

Well, judging my blog’s success in the light of
Linda ikeji’s blog success from a traffic perspective would definitely spark up depression within me and kill my blogging drive, so I don’t ever make such insane comparisons. The problem with most newbie bloggers is that they make the mistake of comparing the traffic of their baby blogs with that of older blogs or bigger blogs. It’s no wonder most individuals who kick off a career in blogging throw in the towel 2 – 3 months into blogging. I have also understood that blogging success doesn’t come overnight and there is certainly hardwork that needs to be put in to eventually bring success.

As for my baby-blog’s traffic I’ve had great days when I got over a hundred visitors, days when I recorded between 5-8 visitors, and even days I recorded no visitor or reader at all, terrible days. The pressure builds up to the point whereby you continue to look at your blog stats to see if anybody has visited your blog. Such days alone were enough to make me quit blogging but my passion and interest in music has been the anchor holding me fast and keeping me from falling. The process of writing a blog post, editing, adding pictures and then proof reading is definitely time consuming! Not to talk of the longer minutes one has to spend publishing a single post in a country like Nigeria due to bad network. And so to feel that no one has read your post apart from yourself is undeniably quite upsetting.

During down times and periods I’ve considered quitting blogging, God has somehow always sent an angel in the guise of friends Felix Brambaiyefa, Idris Aliyu and Otosirieze Obi-Young. Their words of encouragement have been my strength and kept me going. The success stories of established bloggers have also been a source of inspiration and motivation for me.

As a newbie Blogger I’ve learnt that pressure will always remain as you want to do well and have people read and benefit from your blog. That is the reason you blog in the first place, so people read it and comment on your opinions and thoughts and so I try to reassure myself that people will come, and that I need to promote my blog more and not give up easily. I also tell myself that regardless of the Nigerian blogosphere being overly crowded, everyone has their position and followers, and if I work hard enough, make my blog posts more unique and stay focused on achieving my goals, I on the long-run will definitely establish myself as one of the most successful music bloggers in Africa.

Very dope sir.

You see, low traffic has a bit of an advantage sha.... Your content hasn't been plagiarized yet. Once posts dey get like 7k pageviews mehn, u go just see say ur articles from ur brain dem dey copy and paste am. No vex sha, na normal thing E do me when I dey ent niche.

Hide your posts with lower than 500 words when applying for adsense. The way you blog, it seems like it's total passion and I'd have advised you to go for affiliate marketing but I doubt it works for ent niche in Nigeria.

Goodluck with your blog tho bro. Just know you have a lot of work to do when it comes to seo... A LOT OF WORK mehn... Seo fit take like at least a year and 6 months for you to work very very well. Don't be discouraged tho, you'll get there.

HenryDion:
keep driving... I think am in a similar situation but What's driving me along is to get my ideas out of my head to serve as inspiration to others. Am a natural born writer. Before i started blogging, i have been the dude always writing in a diary. Knowing about blogging, i decided to use a platform where my ideas are safe and could inspire others.

Having the hunger to expand and reach more people, i decided to explore my writing skills by being a freelance writer just for this summer holiday. At least, to make some bucks big enough to host my blog and get me a system.. Am impressed with the earning though.

Very dope plan bro

harsysky:
A guy already has given you the best advice. Writing well alone isn't the only way to attract visitors to a site; it is a big plus when you understand that there are Onpage optimization and Offpage Optimization.

Onpage opt has to do with all those keywords (using Longtail pro, SEMUSER, keyword planner etc) you embed on the heading, meta taGs, your contents and so on. Minimum content length should be 700 words. IF you have images, always have an ALT that has a keyword , too. You're doing fine interMs of promotion. Still look for more successful blogs on music and try to be a quest blogger to attract people to your site.

Offpage optimization, is technical. Won't go much into it. You will be fine. Trust me.

True talk bro.

Lol. Nah 500+ words Im need not up to 700 o. Even Google's FP blogs aren't based on number of words.

His offpage seo will be hard. Don't sugarcoat it for him,,,, let him know what he's getting into. Entertainment and music blog seo no be beans.

Check linda ikeji's back links. Dem be like 900k and at least 800k are do follow.

Even those 'small small' blogs have like 50k correct back links.

For him to rank for an ent niche keyword won't be easy at all. AT ALL!

You'll be surprised that those blogs with 'little' on page seo rank way higher than him.

Nigerians mostly search for gists not articles trust me. The best way he can do his stuff is by building a mail list. The ent niche is way too populated for him to rank in this early stage or even one year after getting domain name sef

there is always a starting point. Some one has to start from some where. There was vanguard before naij came, there was punch before pulse came and they are doing well. is gist not a keyword. Those who want to search for gist has to insert a keyword and those keyword is on google database. They must insert the gist they are looking for isn't it. If one happens to know the search terms they are making use of, it will pay more than just copying nairaland article and post it without trying to add seo on it by using keyword research.before some one will read an article, the person has to type it on google and that words is called keyword except maybe the person visits the website directly. So imagine if one tries to rank for it. When tiwa and tblitz has marriage problem, there is a particular search term people are using to search for it while most bloggers just copy and paste without adding that search keyword. Now tell me as some one who has knowledge in seo and did a keyword research on it, add the keywords and lsi to the same copied article, don't you think you will rank well for it.

Sir, on page seo isn't the only thing that helps in ranking. Other ent blogs will still eat the lion share of the Gist's seo.

Abi no be ent niche ni? Check the off page seo of 10 'mediocre' ent blogs then come and tell me the report.

Off page seo carries a lot more weight than just good on page seo
