How to Start a FREE BLOG and Make Money in 2024

over the past few months I've been trying out all sorts of ways to make money as a writer and starting a Blog has been by far the hardest so in this video I hope to make the process look Easy by breaking down how I started a Blog with no experience in less than 6 hours and how you can easily create a fully monetized blog in 2024 without spending any money let's get into it so for starters if you're anything like me and haven't started a Blog despite wanting to it's probably for one of these reasons

it feels overwhelming you don't have the time or you've seen far too many videos about how blogging is dead and you're not sure if it's still worth it this is exactly how I felt so a few weeks ago I decided just to go for it a dedicated a day to starting my own blog unsure if it would be worth it I wanted to make the process quick easy and most importantly free so I set up this blog and populated it with about 15 articles and the entire process only took about 6 hours in just a

moment I'll show you the entire process and how you can do this as well but first I wanted to let you know that this video is sponsored by SEO writing. if you're a subscriber to this Channel or my newsletter you know that SEO writing is the main tool I use to run my newsbreak side hustle it's also become my secret weapon in exploring these new writing Ventures as it saves me tons of time particularly this rting Venture as Google's most recent updates have made it harder than ever for small blogs LS to gain search Authority

I'll be honest I'm not very techsavvy and for whatever reason my brain just can't comprehend most website Builders so I was delightfully surprised to stumble upon Google's native blog hosting tool blogger.com with it you can create a monetized blog with a subdomain for free and perhaps most importantly it's super easy to use as a complete beginner I was able to put together this blog with about 6 hours of work total but initially after applying to Google AdSense I was denied for having lowquality content so I did a little research and spoke to an SEO expert

to figure out what I needed to change to actually get this blog monetized in March of 2024 Google rolled out its helpful content update which basically means it started to crack down on well unhelpful content such as 100% AI generated articles artificially spun content incessant spamy ads and outdated content essentially the spammy and unhelpful content that has plagued the internet for years which to be honest is not a bad thing but it's also made it harder for small blogs to rank for popular keywords so the advice I've learned firsthand and from speaking to SEO experts

is to get hypers specific in your Niche and if you're using AI tools you want to focus on readability as opposed to volume keeping in mind that Google's recent update is also cracking down on 100% AI generated content so for your content to be deemed as helpful you need to add in personal experience or at the very least a human void personally I use a tool called SEO writing. a to achieve this people often think of AI as a magic tool that can write articles for you and although a lot of AI tools can do

a pretty good job of writing you always need to add in a human element which honestly doesn't take very long if you can generate a solid first draft so let's hop onto my computer I'll show you exactly how I use SEO writing to generate SEO articles that can easily be turned into helpful human written content so if you're new to the idea of writing SEO articles I would recommend a tool like SEO writing because it's super easy to use the first thing you're going to do is paste your title into the title section here enter

the main keyword you want to Target then we're going to scroll down here to the core settings we will keep the voice at Friendly point of view we'll speak from my own personal experience and the target country we're actually going to Target the us only because I will be adding in affiliate links to this article and I want to Target readers who live in the US for article size we'll keep it small SEO read is free to use but there is a monthly word count so if you want to be conservative with your words you

can adjust this to small or even extra small as for the power model I will change this to high as I want it to analyze as as much of the web as possible SEO writing has recently updated the readability and linking features so if you have used it in the past you will see that a lot of these features have changed and for humanized text I will change this to eth and n9th grade as that's the optimal level for readability details to include we will let the AI decide I generally like to find the images

myself but just to show you how I will generate an image here if you are running a WordPress plog this article all the citations and the images will actually upload directly to Wordpress via SEO writings WordPress plug-in 16x 9 perfect you can also add a videos to increase your Authority so let's add in one just so I can show you okay now for SEO this will determine what keywords and phrases this article will rank for so let me autogenerate them by selecting NLP keyword generation and let me just add in a few additional phrases okay

that looks pretty good for structure we'll keep things really simple so tables no lists yes italics yes Quotes no key takeaways no FAQs we'll keep that in just because it could be helpful for SEO okay now for external linking I will select automatic and what this will do is add in relevant links to your article to add search Authority being the that outdated content and broken links is a part of Google's new update the connect to web feature is really important so I'm going to select deep web and citation this will ensure that the external

linking is up to date and comes from the best search results so we collect Source links yes citation yes we want all the information we can after the article is generated we will remove anything we don't need and clean it up to be as readable and helpful as possible okay let's just make sure this all looks good okay and we'll go ahead and run it as I mentioned SEO writing is pre tows although there is a monthly work count so if you would like to use SEO writing as a way to make money I do

recommend upgrading to the pro version if you use code HUD 25 at checkout you'll save 25% on your monthly membership I will also add a link to a full breakdown of how I've been using SEO writing to make money on a platform called newsbreak which will be in the pin comment okay and the article's done so let's take a look at it you can see here we have a full article generated complete with headings YouTube videos and many many citations now at first glance this looks like a complete article but I would still recommend going

through it to think about how you can make this information as helpful as possible at the end of the day Google determines the success of an article based on how long your readers stay on the article and if they were able to get an answer to their question it's also an awesome opportunity to link to any affiliate links or products you may have as the answer to ur's question may actually result in the making a purchase and that's basically it I'm currently in the process of updating all of my old unhelpful content with SEO writing's

new readability and external linking features but once I'm done as usual I'll update you on how things are going but for now I really hope you found this video valuable if you did like comment subscribe and share it with someone who may find it valuable as well that's it for me have a great day and I'll see you in the next video [Music]
