Stop posting nonsense with confidence. Search Google for 100 random keywords off your head and tell me how many of them have Blogger and sites ranking number 1 for them.

Don't rush into blogging or don't follow or these useless copy and paste bloggers into entertainment and news niche you won't make any cash oo

News niche is Saturated and there are major authority sites doing well. E.G punch news, Vanguard etc

Go Read about niche blogging.
Read about search engine optimization (SEO

Find your passion, research and choose a niche, preferably a micro or sub niche

Do keyword research
Find keywords around your niche at least 20 low competitive keywords for a start.

Choose a domain that relates to your niche.
Buy hosting plan, launch your site.

Start writing original, creative and engaging articles. Make sure your articles are 2k words each.

Submit your site maps to google for indexing.

Keep writing posts and you will be shocked at the results.

Your reasoning is based on a common logical fallacy. Correlation does not equal causation.

Because blogger is severely limited in terms of design options, most serious publications which have the resources to rank for popular keywords won't use it. It's that simple, and has nothing to do with search engines.

BTW Neil Patel lists blogger as one of his top 5 blogging platforms. Do you know better than Neil Patel?

Being a top blogging platform does not translate to being a top-ranking platform. Blogger could work if you started 10 years ago, not in 2021. One of Google's ranking factors is domain authority. How would your DA rank if it is a sub-domain to ? That means you've lost a lot because you're too stingy to buy a premium dot com domain that costs $10 and hosting that costs you less than $30 for the first year. No serious businessman goes for free things. I won't take any sub-domain serious, even Google doesn't.

Sir, using blogger or even does not mean you cannot use a custom domain. You dont need to use a sub domain.

And sorry to say, if you don't know that, then you shouldn't be offering advice. You should be learning.

fykes:
Greetings .please what is it with 2k words per article? My blog is about 2 months old...95% of content created by me.
I write for fun and because writing is a hubby of mine. But why must every article be up to 2k? I will appreciate ur response

Oriental4:
And presuming you're as smart as you think you are. Why would you go for Blogger that is owned and controlled by Google that could ban or shut you down the way they did to Linda Ikeji instead of an open source that gives you liberty to run your business the way you want? You're obviously going in circles because your only attraction to Blogger is that it is free. Anyway, my advice isn't for your type that have arrived but for people that wish to learn. For any aspiring blogger, I strongly suggest that you use WordPress. You'd accomplish more with it. We use Google for traffic. That's what they're good at.

chatinent:
50k.

I brought the prices low. More so, I'll be writing the tutorials here and you take the steps.

abdulahi90:

Well, the truth is, you can't learn everything there is to blogging in a single forum reply.

But I'll drop a few golden nuggets that can set you on the path to successful blogging.

1. You need to hone your writing skills. I don't know how good you are as a writer. But having solid writing skills is a must-have requirement for blogging, especially if you're targeting beyond the Nigerian audience. So, if you're not confident enough in your writing skills, you might want to take some time to work on that first.

2. Choose a niche that a lot of people are really interested in and that they search the web for information about. More importantly, write on topics that people want to read -- not what you think they would like to read or what you feel like writing on. If you're blogging for just fun, it's okay to write on anything. But if you really want to make money from blogging, you have to see it as a business and give people exactly what they want. To understand what people really want, you must learn and understand keyword research.

3. Don't waste your time on unnecessary stuff like trying to perfect your blog's design or getting it to look exactly like another blog you found. Trust me, nobody visits a blog to admire its design. People visit blogs for information that would help them.

4. For a start, don't bother yourself about making money. Building traffic, followership, and establishing yourself as an expert comes first. Only after you've achieved these should you start thinking of monetization. So, now isn't the time to spend hours reading stuff on Adsense, affiliate marketing, or other monetization options.

5. You must be patient. It might take up to many weeks to months to start generating decent traffic consistently. So, if you're looking at blogging as the sure way to help you settle some debts or start earning about N100,000 monthly from next month, go find a job!

6. Don't waste too much time reading stuff about blogging. There are loads of stuff online that are downright contradictory and confusing. And you'd come across tons of technical stuff that you don't really need for now. So, don't fall into the pit called "analysis paralysis".

7. Avoid starting on a free platform such as Blogger or . We've gone past the age where people and search engines take freely hosted blogs seriously. Setting up a self-hosted WordPress blog shouldn't cost you more than N15,000.

8. Be consistent. The major task involved in blogging is content creation. That is, writing new articles. Bear in mind that you have to do this on a frequent basis. Consider thrice weekly at least. But more importantly, be consistent with whatever number of articles you set for yourself.

9. Avoid being swindled. I can tell you categorically that, for now, you don't need anything like backlinks or other shitty services that some people might pitch at you just to swindle you of your hard-earned money. So, before paying for anything, be sure that it's something you really understand and are sure you really need.

10. Find a good mentor. Your best bet is a Nigerian blogger who has years of experience under his/her belt and has achieved multiple forms of success through blogging. You can also find and join Facebook and Whatsapp groups for Nigerian bloggers. Now, there are many groups out there where loads of useless, irrelevant, and opinionated stuff are being recycled. Avoid those!
