Why Start a Blog?
There are many reasons for why people start blogs, but here are a few of my personal favorites:
Passive Income
Blogging can generate passive income through affiliate marketing, ads, and selling products. Once you’ve built an audience, your blog can provide ongoing revenue with minimal effort.
Low Overhead
Starting a blog requires low investment—just a domain, hosting, and a CMS. This makes it an affordable way to share your ideas and build a brand online.
Scalablility
A blog can grow from a small project into a business. As your content and audience grow, so do opportunities to monetize and expand.

How do I choose a blog topic?
Choose a topic you're passionate about and have knowledge in. Focus on a niche that has a clear audience and isn't oversaturated.

Consistency is key. Aim to post at least once a week to keep your audience engaged and improve SEO.
Quality is more important than quantity, so focus on delivering valuable content. Find a schedule that works for you and stick to it to build trust with readers.

You can monetize your blog through affiliate marketing, ads, sponsored content, selling digital products, or offering services.
Focus on building a loyal audience first, as traffic and trust are essential for monetization strategies. Choose methods that align with your blog's niche and audience needs.
