Is Blogging Still Profitable?

Blogging is a lot more competitive now than it ever has been in the past and that just means that we need to be working harder AND smarter than before to achieve the same success.

If we attack to process in the right way, blogging is still one of the most profitable careers out there.

The only limit I would place on selecting a niche is to pick something you are already passionate about or interested in learning everything about and conveying that to your audience.

There are an endless amount of niches to chose from and what you pick will inevitably have an impact on your bottom line.

There are 3 main ways to make money from Blogging that we need to understand:

Display Ads

The Banner Ads you place on your site with companies like Ezoic, Mediavine or even Adsense.

When a user sees or engages with the Ads, you earn a little bit of money every time, up to 3c per visitor.

As the amount of visitors to your site grows, this number compounds significantly and you can end up with hundreds or even thousands of dollars a day.

Best for niches with a ton of traffic.

If people spend money in the niche, you will earn even more.

Cons

Will take a longer time to make significant earnings

Affiliate Marketing

Recommending others peoples products to your readers and getting a percentage of the sale whenever somebody buys through your link.

Amazon is well known as the best Affiliate Program for beginners but there are plenty of others in the market.

Best for Review Type Sites Or Niches Where People Have A Lot Of Disposable Income.

Pros

Make A Significant Amount Of Money Quite Quickly
Some Programs Pay Recurring Commissions

Cons

The Best Products Will Have More Competition

Info Products/Courses/E-Books/Membership Sites

This is the category where you sell your premium material to your audience for a fee.

This is going to work best in a niche where people are willing to pay for your information.

Also going to work well if you have an email list which is a crucial aspect of your success anyway.

Pros

Can Generate A Lot Of Revenue
Extremely Passive
Cons
Have To Be An Expert
Need A Large Audience.

From these three options, Affiliate marketing is going to be the fastest way to make money but it might not necessarily be the best in the long term.

The way I look at it is that if I get traffic on my review posts, I will still be earning from Display Ads so it is a win – win.

Different Types Of Content:

Evergreen Content

Evergreen content is the type of content that you write and it will bring in visitors for years to come once you are ranked in the top three.

This is the kind of content that doesn’t change or need to be updated with time and is the most passive in nature bringing in a steady stream of income on a consistent basis.

Socially Shareable Content

Food and Fashion are great posts for Pinterest master who can basically sell their pins to Pinterest users and get high volumes of clicks through to their site.

This can be an effective strategy to get good traffic quickly but you are at the whims of an algorithm update that could take your content overnight. It is not as reliable as Google, long term.

Review Type Posts

Reviewing different products can be a mix of trending and evergreen.

Some products are replaced and gone within a year, others can be best sellers for 10 to 20 years at a time.

These posts get tons of affiliate but don’t get traffic for as long as Evergreen content does.

A mix of any number of these strategies can be the best way to go.

Different Types Of Blogs

Informational Blogs

The reader is trying to learn something or how to do something in the best way and your Blog is the knowledge resource where they come to learn.

Depending on the niche, these can have a huge amount of content to cover and can generate a huge amount of traffic.

Information blogs can be anything from Technology to Home Improvement to Making Money Online.

These types of blogs are suited to all types of earnings.

Sports And Hobbies

Your Blog is going to be a knowledge hub for people looking for information on their latest hobby/sport, looking to improve and looking for the best products they can buy in the niche.

These types of blogs are most suited to Display Ads and Affiliate Marketing along with Membership Sites or Forums.

Food Blogs

Food Blogs are one of the hottest commodities in the market right now and you can make huge amounts of money from display ads in this market.

Since Covid, people have been cooking at home more and more also and that means you can get even more traffic.

This niche is also perfect for building traffic from platforms like Pinterest and you can build up a lot of traffic quickly in this niche, even if it is a bit over saturated.

Travel Blogs

Travel has been huge until the Covid Pandemic of 2020 set in, that is.

People are deeply engaged in deciding where to visit and can spend a long time on your blog.

Again this type of Niche is best suited to Display Ads but you can also make money with Digital Products and Affiliate.

News Blogs

News Blogs is one of the least passive ways you can earn with blogging unless you sell the sites content on a membership basis.

The content you write today, might not be relevant tomorrow or getting any hits and it might turn into a bit of a treadmill trying to keep up.

With that being said, there can also be a mix of evergreen and news related topics on the site for stable viewership.

Review Blogs

Reviewing the latest products, gadget, software and technology in an industry.

This obviously lends itself perfectly to affiliate marketing and you can generate a pile of revenue from selling products big and small.

You are not simply limited to recommending products with this type of site, you can also cover authority guide about the product categories and do top lists.

Generally, the blogs that make the most money are the ones that get the most traffic and that is achieved thorough

Consistent hard work,
Outsourcing writing if you can and
Having a high success rate for every post.

The Blogs I Would Start Today

I have a ton of blog projects going on and trying to run an agency at the same time but there are certain niches that I look at and think I would like to have a go at in the near future.

Food Blogs

For me, Food Blogs are quite appealing as a source of money making but I have done enough of that I know and I want to be passionate about the Blogs I create.

If you are into fashion or food, thee are great niches because you can get a ton of traffic from Pinterest AND google.

It’s also an easy one to combine with Youtube, you can videos of you cooking the dish with no need to have your face in it.

Cons

It is quite saturated and Google wants to show your blog as a commodity which is why you should build an email list as quickly as possible.

Ok, so now for the blogs I would start if I had some free time to do it:

The reasons why these blog make the list:

They Are Broad For Expansion Into Huge Sites
The Readers Are Willing To Spend Money In Them
They Can Earn Good RPM’s With Their Display Ads
I Am Interested In Learning More About The Topics
Unlimited Amount Of Titles To Write
They Are Not EAT Related Niches So You Won’t Be Penalized For Not Being A Doctor ETC

Outdoors Site

Outdoors attracts me because it is such a vast niche, you will never run out of fresh content to write about.

There are also just a ton of Affiliate Products you can link to, high ticket and low ticket from Pocket Knives to Bow And Arrows to Log Cabins or Dirt Bikes.

At this stage in my blogging career, I would like to pick Niches with just an unlimited capacity for expansion.

You don’t want to get bogged down by only being in one niche and running out of juicy titles to write.

Sub Niches:

Camping
Hiking
Motor Sports
Hunting
Running
Climbing
Hill Walking
Etc

Full Sports Blog

A Blog Covering All Sports has the ability to become absolutely huge.

You can write clusters of articles on certain topics and see which ones perform best to get that initial traffic and then continue to expand outwards.

You could even couple it with news articles to catch the trends and have mostly evergreen content at the same time.

There is also sports where people spend a ton of money of equipment like golf and cycling and we can make a handsome earning from Affiliate and obviously Display Ads as the site gets bigger.

I’ve create a few sports Blogs already and am pretty confident, I can get them ranking quickly.

Cons

Not as high RPM’s as some other niches
Most competitive sports have higher competition

DIY/Home Improvement

A quality Niche that can cover a large range of topics.

People have money and they are willing to spend it so we can get high affiliate commissions and high RPM’s for our traffic.

Overall this is a site with lower competition and high value traffic meaning that we can make a good living off a successful blog here with a ton of room for growth.

Other Blogs That Could Be Great

Food
Fashion
Self Improvement
