| Side Income for College Students Make Money Blogging in 2024 |
I simply started writing posts.
This can be done without any prior experience.
In fact, now there are many artificial intelligence tools
available that I will tell you about.
Let me help you understand
how you can earn ₹ 20,000/month through blogging.
The first step is to create a website for your blog.
When creating any website,
you need a website hosting platform.
There are many platforms available,
and you can choose whichever you like.
But one platform that I would recommend is Hostinger.
Hostinger is a platform with which
I have also collaborated for this video.
It has many excellent features that I will explain to you.
If you want to use any other platform, you can use it.
The steps will remain exactly the same.
So, first, let's go to the Hostinger website.
You will find its link in the pinned comment
and description of this video.
So now we have reached this website.
Here, you will see a section for claiming a deal.
Basically, Hostinger often runs many deals,
so whenever you check,
there might be some deal available,
and you can claim it.
After that, it will ask you what type of plan you want.
Any hosting platform provides you various options.
I would recommend selecting the premium version
because it comes with a free domain for entire year.
Once you have selected a plan,
they will ask you for the duration you want that plan for.
The longer the duration you choose,
the higher the discount you get.
For example, let's say we choose 12 months here.
After that, you simply provide your account details,
then go to the payment platform
and provide your payment details.
Those who use Hostinger can also apply my code.
It's called SHWETA.
When you use SHWETA, you will get a 10% discount.
For around 3000 rupees, you will get Hostinger's
premium plan hosting service for one year.
This means you can host your website,
and you will also get a free domain.
If you go with any other platform,
you have to pay for hosting services and domain.
This is how you first of all get a plan for your website.
Before we move on to creating the website,
let me give you another piece of information
for those who are going to try Hostinger.
Here, there is a 30 days money-back guarantee,
which means that if you don't like the plan,
you can claim a refund within 30 days.
Now let's move on to building the website.
Good hosting platforms will offer you the option
to build your website using artificial intelligence.
Nowadays, there has been so much innovation.
As you can see, you have two options -
you can either use "WordPress"
or use an "AI Website Builder".
Let's say we use the "AI Website Builder".
It will ask you to provide a description of your website.
For example, if we want to create a blog,
we can write "Shweta Writes"
as the name of the website.
Then, I'll specify the type of website,
which in this case is a blog.
It will ask you to provide a little description
of what this website is about.
Here we will write, I want to create a blog for people
aspiring to excel in their careers, specifically those
searching for internships and job opportunities.
By writing this, you can click on "Create a website,"
and within 1 or 2 minutes, it will present your website in
front of you, automatically ready.
You will see that the website it has created for me
automatically aligns with the description I provided.
As I mentioned internships, jobs, and career,
there are quite a few images & sections related to that.
Now, because our main task is to prepare the blog,
I won't say that you need to make lot of improvements.
You can gradually build your website.
For example, if you want, you can add some photos,
include different fonts, or add text to a section.
Complete all of those gradually and step by step.
The most important thing is you want to start blogging.
Let's start with 2nd step, which is writing a blog post.
In today's date, many artificial intelligence-based tools
are available through which, even if your English is not
very good, you can write a very good blog.
I will tell you all those tools, suggestions, everything.
Let's get started with the blog on this platform.
Whatever platform you are using,
you will need to find where the blog section is.
Inside Hostinger, you will see blog section on left side.
If you click on "Create a new post,"
the post will open in front of you.
You will give it a title.
Let's write 'Are Online Internships Worth It in India?'
Is there any benefit to doing online internships
if you do them in India?
Whenever you start writing a blog,
first add a very creative and eye-catching image here.
To add images, there are 2 excellent software options:
One is Canva, and the other is Pexels.
In the case of Canva, if you go to the left-hand side,
you will see many good photographs
if you write internships.
Similarly, if you go to Pexels and write internships,
you will find many good options there as well.
All these images are copyright-free.
So, simply download them and upload them here.
Another option is that if you are using Hostinger,
they have their own library of photographs.
For example, you will see an option: "Generate Image."
Now, click on it, type "internships," and
it will automatically show you some photos that
you can directly add to your blog.
This completes the first component.
After that comes the text.
Good bloggers always write script for their blog posts.
This means what the outline of your blog will be -
what will come in the first paragraph,
second paragraph, third paragraph, and so on.
For that, you can use a tool called copy.ai.
You can use this website for free.
Write here what you want.
For example, create a blog outline for this topic:
"Are online internships worth it in India?"
'Copy.ai' will automatically provide you with an outline,
suggesting what to mention in the first paragraph,
what to write in the second, third, fourth, and so on.
This way, you will get a detailed guide.
We have to fill in the content for each paragraph.
We are skilled at filling in content because
we have options like ChatGPT, and Bard.
In addition to these, there is a software called Quillbot.
You can also use it; its free version is quite good.
In many good web hosting platforms now,
AI writers have been included.
For example, if we go to the blog section in Hostinger,
you will see the option for AI writer.
Let's say I wrote that in the first paragraph,
I want to know what online internships are.
As I write that, it will automatically
generate and present the text.
This way, you keep writing all the paragraphs, and
you will be ready with a blog post within a few minutes.
Now let's move on to the earning methods,
how you can earn through blogging.
There are majorly four ways to earn from a blog.
The first two methods are relatively simple,
and you can start earning from day 1.
The first method is called ad revenue.
When you visit any website, you may have noticed that
there are many ads on the side.
For example, if I show you my own blog, you can see
that there is a section where an ad appears.
Here, you can earn money by advertising any brand.
But now you might think, "Do I have to approach brands
and ask if they want to advertise?"
Don't worry, Google has solved this problem.
You can go to Google AdSense and invite many brands
through Google to display their ads on your website.
The second method is affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing means that I have provided links to
some products or services in my blog post.
And when people go through my link and purchase that
product or service, I earn some commission.
I have also made a dedicated video on affiliate
marketing that you can easily check out.
I will add it to the description.
These are 2 methods, ad revenue & affiliate marketing.
The remaining two methods require you to first
generate some traffic on your website,
and after some time, you will start receiving offers.
The third method is called brand sponsorships.
Meaning, when many brands reach out to you and
ask you to mention them in your blog post.
When I set up my blog, it was about MBA,
many MBA-related brands started reaching out to me,
asking me to integrate their products
into my blog post and mention them.
That is also a way through which you can earn,
but it comes in a later stage.
That is the third method.
The 4th method is online courses and paid offerings.
Meaning, once your blog reaches a very good audience,
you can create your own online course
or provide a paid offering.
For example, when I had set up my MBA blog and
it gained a good audience,
I also started a YouTube channel.
I have introduced a paid offering –
an online course for MBA interview preparation.
There are more methods to earn through blogging,
but these are the major four.
I have tried all four methods.
The first two methods you can start from day 1,
and the other two methods will gradually come to you.
The 20,000/month amount that I mentioned will come
to you if you write at least 10 blog posts per month.
You should aim to have a blog post every other day.
When I started my blog,
I started earning a good amount within 2 months
because I consistently posted.
.
This is very, very important.
Don't take it lightly.
It doesn't require work experience, that is true, but
blogging needs to be done consistently and patiently.
Then you will definitely earn quickly.
This is the basic method of how you can earn
from blogging this year.
