Is It Possible To Make Money By Starting A Blog?

 

Many people today dream of making money online, which is reasonable and logical considering the age we live in. The majority of people who earn money online currently earn more than a traditional office job or at least as much as a regular employee.

However, this does not mean that everyone can earn such a comfortable and significant amount of money online. Many people mistakenly believe that making money online is extremely easy and effortless. In reality, it is not as easy as it seems. If making money online were that easy, the internet would be filled with bloggers, influencers, and similar individuals.

Contrary to popular belief, making money online does not mean "earning money while sitting around." It is a misconception. Now, let's go back to our question and discuss whether it is possible to make money by starting a blog.

To briefly answer for those who don't have much time, it is indeed possible to make money by starting a blog. However, in our country, it is much more challenging and demanding than people think. The main reason is the low literacy rates in our country. As many of you know, the literacy rates in Turkey are quite low. Since starting a blog means writing and sharing content, it does not guarantee easy money in a country with low literacy rates.

Nevertheless, we can easily see that blogs created solely for self-expression or sharing knowledge with others can earn money today. Moreover, the earnings are not as small or insignificant as commonly believed. Many of them generate substantial amounts of money that can sustain a person's life.

How to Start a Blog?

We have discussed that it is possible to earn money by starting a blog. Now, let's explain the steps required to create a blog. We preferred to explain it based on users who want to try this venture. The reason for this is that we do not want you to spend large amounts of money to try whether starting a blog is suitable for you or not.

Unfortunately, many people only want to start a blog for the sake of money. However, individuals who start a blog based on impulsive desires often fail to achieve their dreams and end up closing their blogs halfway through. That's why it is crucial to understand whether writing a blog, consistently creating content, and sustaining it for a long time is suitable for you.

We recommend using the completely free Blogger platform to do this. Here are the steps you need to follow in order:

  1. Firstly, click here to access Blogger, which is the official website of Google, the company that owns it.
  2. On the website you've reached, you need to sign in with your Google account. If you don't have a Google account, you cannot create a blog using Blogger. Therefore, you need to create a Google account, which is simple and completely free.
  3. After signing in, you will be asked to give a title to your blog. This title will appear at the top of your blog. After determining this title, you need to choose your author name.
  4. In fact, by following these few simple steps, you create a blog address. Then, it's time to start entering content.
  5. To enter content, you need to click on the downward arrow symbol on the left side.
  6. After clicking on this symbol, you need to select the option "New blog." Once you click on this option, a new tab will open.
  7. In this tab, you need to enter the name information for your blog. Then, you should fill in the content section.
  8. After finishing your content, you can easily share it on the internet with a single click.

That's it! You can create a blog address and start entering content by following these few simple steps. Since Blogger is a completely free service, your site will be created on a provided address that ends with blogspot.com. If you want to purchase a custom domain name for yourself, you can consult domain providers. This way, you can completely customize your domain and remove the Blogspot advertisement.

Normally, creating a blog address requires various components such as hosting, domain name, SSL certificate, and more. However, Blogger takes care of all these for you. All you need to do is enter and share content. Of course, if you wish, you can purchase a custom domain name and link it to your Blogger account.

There is nothing else you need to do. Through Blogger, you can learn whether writing is suitable for you and gauge the reactions of people to your writing completely for free. If you find that blog writing is not for you, you can easily quit without any expenses.

To access the Blogger website, you need to use the following browsers. Although you can access it with different browsers, you may encounter various issues:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • MS Edge

Blogger is fully compatible with the latest versions of the above browsers. Therefore, you can use them without any problems.

If you think that blog writing is the right fit for you and decide to continue this journey, you can purchase a domain name from a trusted provider and redirect it to your Blogger address. Additionally, you can consider buying a beautiful theme for your site and install it to continue your publishing journey. In the future, you can think about creating a fully professional website.
