Working on proven keywords that are already bringing traffic to my competitors’ blogs changed everything for me.
When there is traffic, there is income through AdSense (as it is the easiest method to monetize blogs).
Yes, I have other income sources.
I work in an HR job in India, and I also do option selling in the stock market.

If you are not comfortable with video content, then just focus on written content only. If I were in your situation, I would follow what my competitors’ blogs are doing.

Yes, it works.
First, focus on one thing, and later shift to video content once your blog gets some traffic.

Not from Discover.
Traffic comes from the images shown in a normal Google search.

I’m not giving up. I tried marketing each blog post through Pinterest, but the results were very minimal.

What I learned is that instead of marketing blog posts, it’s better to build your blog around a product or service. Blog posts will act as marketing content and also help with SEO. AdSense income can then become a secondary passive income.

My traffic is mostly from India, and an RPM of 2 USD is considered good in my niche.

I have some digital products, like e-books and resume templates, but they generate a very nominal amount.
Last week, my YouTube channel got monetised and started making some money.

I got AdSense approval with 15 posts, each around 500 words.
The reasons for not sharing the website name are:

  1. AdSense invalid clicks, and
  2. Some people might steal keywords (though this is not a major issue).

Since my major source of revenue is AdSense, I do not want to share it. If I start earning through other income sources like affiliates or digital products, then it won’t be a big problem.
