so im getting 40$ sent to my paypal to buy my site , host and what not. Im thinking about making a blog on online money making, and the articles will be what im doing daily, what i learn that day etc. It will be like a progress thread in my blog. where people can come read it and learn from the start. Im thinking of adding adsense to make money from it. Would this method be profitable?
 


Profitable, as in 'making slightly more than 20$ a year to cover shared hosting and domain registration'?
 
Have you done any arithmetic regarding impressions, CTR, and CPC?

From what I've read:
The vast majority of blogs with adsense have a daily revenue of <5$.
A well optimised MFA site with 10,000 daily UVs might earn something like 10$ per day.
Most people paying their rent through adsense seem to have ten 5$ sites, rather than
try to get all their revenue from just one site.

Personally I'd just spend all my time and energy trying to find a way to generate an income. Blogging about your experiences probably isn't going to amount to a good investment of time compared to focusing on making something work.
 
Try not to set your expectations too high to begin with. Learning by doing is the main thing at first. If you go in expecting to be paying your rent off 1 site with adsense, you're going to end up disappointed, disheartened and a quitter.
Don't listen to 'guru's', don't buy ebooks and simply get stuck in and learn. If you're determined enough you'll be fine.
 
Trying to make money by telling people how much money you're not making? Genius!

No but serious, I would start with something a little less competitive.

But either way, as long as you're learning something, all is not lost. Just don't expect to make money in the online money making niche.

I want to stick with one site as of now, how would you propose making decent income with one site? I know things will be very slow starting off, i dont expect any profit till second or 3rd month

Start with some serious keyword research. Find some keywords that you stand a chance with. If you can't rank for several keywords, your effort is wasted. Check to ensure that there is sufficient traffic for those keywords, it is usually very easy to rank for low-traffic keywords..

Search the forum to learn about keyword research and ranking for SERPs.

There is much to learn beyond that, but first get headed in the right direction.
 
That was the first site I did too, more of a journal/goal setting thing for me.

No one gives a shit about what someone who doesn't make money is doing to make money.

I did learn Wordpress from it. It forced me into buying a domain and all of that fun stuff.

I wouldn't do it to make money. I wouldn't consider doing anything related to "how to make money" to try to make money.

The most money that blog made me was when I sold the domain for a few $$$ a couple years later after I'd abandoned it.

It was cool to see what I was doing, progress, etc, but I wouldn't do it unless you'd want to do it and assume it will have zero readers and earn zero money going in.

Start running campaigns, jump in and try shit, if the goal is to make money in the least amount of time possible. The blog will just eat time.
 
write about something you know, or that can be easily researched and has less competition that that.

and nobody would read a blog about making money written by someone who is not making money
 
Alright i guess im not going to do my blog idea, makes sense what you guys are saying, so fuck that. Would bodybuilding or gaming be a decent niche for a noob? Or is it too much competition and should i go with something else? Because im very into both of them
 
bodybuilding or gaming is still way too broad, you have to pick something more specific, or give it a different point of view
 
Or how about my site just be about supplements for bodybuilding ? Or ways to build muscle. Or is that too broad to
 
those might be ok, there's no perfect size.
Just gather some ideas and plan what you're going to push on them. Products via affiliate links, cpc stuff, etc
and start building it because overthinking won't help

Did you miss my reply?

You need to do keyword research. Random ideas posted here will waste your time and money.

If you want to be successful at this, it is going to take work. Get started or GTFO.
