Blogging is one of the best ways to start making big money online without having a lot of capital.

The great advantage of Nigerians is that they speak English. If you create a blog in English, you will have a huge amount of potential recipients around the world. Around 2 billion people in the world speak English (source). This means that by creating a blog in Lagos or Abuja, you can have millions of readers in the US, UK, Australia or the Philippines.

Not every blog is successful and most of the created blogs do not earn even $ 1. This is due to the fact that most bloggers give up too early, choose wrong topics to write about, or fail to meet other necessary requirements to succeed with the blog.

If you decide you want to create a blog and make a living of it, be sure to follow the rules below. They will make your life much easier and allow you to achieve success faster. Here they are:

THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS FOR SUCCESSFUL BLOGGING

A) You must find good niche for your website (VERY IMPORTANT STEP!)

This is one of the most important factors for the success of your site. The point is that if you write about popular topic about which there are already many articles on the internet – no one will even notice your articles because they will be far behind the articles of the largest known websites.

Competing in areas with a lot of competition will be unprofitable and you will have little chance of success. That is why we sincerely advise – look for a niche where there are not many articles and many websites already created by your competition. By “niche” we mean for example, solar panels, 3D printing, Python programming, foreign language learning for children, recipes for people with allergies, vacation ideas for less than $ 1000, and other narrow niches about which nobody has created a website yet.

B) Learn about SEO

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your website to get organic and un-paid traffic from the search engine results page. If your page is well SEO-optimized it will be in the top of the Google results. If it will be not SEO-optimized your articles even if very good quality – will be far in the results of Google search results and nobody will see them.

The most important element of SEO is the large number of backlinks (backlinks are links from other websites to your website). In order for your articles to compete with other websites, you will need a lot of good backlinks.

C) Create a lot of high quality content and try different topics in your niche

Usually, a blog needs at least 50 good-quality articles to start earning its first money. In order to achieve success, you should write about topics that people most often search for in Google, but there are no answer articles about them.

BLOGGERS’ EARNINGS

On average, from 1000 pageviews a day, you earn $ 2- $ 20 a day. Most bloggers combine earning with Google AdSense, Amazon Associates as well as affiliate marketing and selling their own products (such as ebooks or things related to the subject of their site). If you do everything right and choose the right niche, you should earn at least $600-$2000 up to $4000-$8000 a month after 1 year of working hard and smart with your blog.

There is no limit on the blogger’s earnings. Many experienced bloggers earn millions of dollars a year. After they create one successful page, they create the next page. After some time, they have several large money-making websites.

If you are wondering how to make money online in Nigeria to earn as much as possible, we highly recommend blogging. This is definitely one of the best possible ways.

Your creativity, cuteness and diligence will be the only limit for your earnings here.
