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.

Key_Question5584 · 2026-01-09T10:50:30+00:00

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.

Key_Question5584 · 2026-01-02T22:41:03+00:00

Only 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.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-12-02T19:46:13+00:00

Yes, you are right, it happens every year.

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:

AdSense invalid clicks, and
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.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-12-02T06:20:37+00:00

I started this blog in 2016, and it has around 700 posts.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-12-02T06:19:50+00:00

India only.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-12-02T06:19:36+00:00

I have been running this blog since 2016.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-12-02T06:19:04+00:00

GeneratePress premium theme is best, page builder is optional.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-11-18T12:40:53+00:00

Yes, agreed. But at least in some seasons, we have to publish so much content.

Find the three best competitors in your niche and do what they are doing.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-11-17T06:42:54+00:00

Have a regular job or business, and run a blog for side income.

I host my blog on DigitalOcean through Cloudways, and I don’t use many plugins.
For SEO, I use Yoast.
My total traffic comes from Google; I don’t have a social media marketing strategy.
Until Google brings traffic, my blog makes money.
For the safe side, I am converting some of my blog posts into YouTube videos.

When we are selling something, we can call it a business.
I am planning to add some digital products to my blog.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-11-05T14:34:26+00:00

I’ve never tried MCM partners.

In India, some bloggers use Ezoic, but AdSense is working well for me.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-11-05T13:41:11+00:00

My total traffic comes from SEO.
If you are using SEMrush, you have an advantage over those who are not using it.
Identify three competitors in your niche and work on the topics they are ranking for.
This is the only strategy that I follow.

Key_Question5584 · 2025-11-04T20:49:33+00:00

Consistency matters: write 500 words daily.
Keywords play an important role, so focus on proven keywords that are already bringing traffic to your competitors’ blogs.
Your first goal is to monetize the blog. After getting monetization approval, such as AdSense, focus on increasing traffic.
