So, you’ve heard people say, “Start a blog and make money,” right?
But maybe you’ve been wondering:

“Isn’t blogging dead?”
“Can a beginner really make money blogging in 2025?”

Let’s clear the air: No, blogging isn’t dead. It’s evolving.
And yes—you absolutely can start a blog this year and turn it into a legit income stream.

Why Blogging Still Works in 2025

Blogging today is not just about journaling your thoughts.
It’s about solving problems, answering questions, and helping real people—with content that ranks on Google and builds trust.

Whether you want to make passive income, build a personal brand, or promote a business, blogging is still one of the most reliable long-term strategies for online income.

 Step-by-Step: How to Start a Blog (The Right Way)

Here’s a simple 5-step roadmap to get your blog up and running—with money-making in mind.

Step 1: Choose a Niche You Can Monetize

Don’t try to write about everything. Choose a specific niche that’s profitable and has demand.

🔥 Examples of money-making niches:

  • Personal finance

  • Tech & gadgets

  • Health & fitness

  • Parenting

  • AI tools and digital productivity

  • Freelancing/side hustles

💡 Tip: Use tools like Google Trends or AnswerThePublic to check interest in your niche.

Step 2: Pick a Blog Name + Get Hosting

Choose a blog name that’s:

  • Easy to remember

  • Niche-related

  • Available as a .com domain

Then sign up for web hosting (I recommend Bluehost, Namecheap, or Hostinger) and install WordPress—it’s beginner-friendly and great for SEO.

Step 3: Design Your Blog

Use a simple, clean theme. Don’t overthink it.

Start with:

  • A homepage

  • About page

  • Contact page

  • Blog section

  • Privacy policy (important for AdSense!)

🛠 Tools to use:

  • WordPress.org (CMS)

  • GeneratePress or Kadence (themes)

  • Canva for logo and blog graphics

Step 4: Write 5-10 Quality Posts First

Before applying for AdSense or affiliate programs, fill your blog with valuable content.

Your blog posts should:

  • Solve a problem

  • Use keywords naturally

  • Include helpful images and internal links

  • Be at least 800–1,500 words

Start with pillar content like:

  • “How to [Do Something in Your Niche]”

  • “Top 10 Tools for [Audience]”

  • “Beginner’s Guide to [Topic]”

Step 5: Monetize Your Blog

Once your blog is set up and has consistent content, here are a few ways to monetize:

💰 Google AdSense – Earn from display ads
💰 Affiliate Marketing – Promote products & earn commissions
💰 Sponsored Posts – Partner with brands
💰 Digital Products – Sell eBooks, templates, or courses
💰 Email List – Build trust and promote offers

Real Talk: Can a Blog Make $1000+/Month?

Yes—but not overnight.

With the right content, niche, and monetization plan, many bloggers hit $100–$500/month within 3–6 months and scale up from there. Consistency is the real key.

  Gabriel Jesus netted a brace as Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 5-1 in Saturday’s Premier League game. The Brazilian international had netted a hat-trick against same team to help the Gunners to advance to the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday. The Gunners got off to a quick start, as Jesus continued his fine form from Wednesday to give Arsenal the lead in the sixth minute with a powerful strike. Ismaila Sarr had the Eagles on level terms in the 11th minute, though, after beating David Raya with a perfectly placed effort from range. Jesus regained the Gunners’ lead in the 25th minute, with another powerful strike after a corner eventually fell for the Brazilian inside the box before Kai Havertz added a third for Arsenal. The Gunners took the game beyond Palce’s reach as Gabriel Martinelli added a fourth after a flurry of Arsenal chances in the 60th minute, after poking in Declan Rice’s initial effort. Rice would get a goal of his own, however, with a beautiful curling effort i...

GOOGLE REJECTS BID TO SELL CHROME BROWSER, PROPOSES LICENSING RESTRICTION.

Google late Friday countered a US call to sell its Chrome browser, suggesting a judge address antitrust concerns by barring the firm from making favourable treatment of its software a condition of licensing. Google filed a 12-page proposed order banning the internet giant from requiring favourable distribution or treatment of its software on mobile devices as a condition of licensing popular apps like Chrome, Play or Gemini. In contrast, the US government in November asked a judge to order the dismantling of Google by selling its widely used Chrome browser in a major antitrust crackdown on the company. The US Department of Justice urged a shake-up of Google’s business that includes banning deals for Google to be the default search engine on smartphones and preventing it from exploiting its Android mobile operating system. THE ROUNDTABLE: Tax Reform-Senate Suspends Debate 0:00 / 0:00 Determining how to address Google’s wrongs is the next stage of the landmark antitrust trial that saw th...
