In this guide, we’ll learn how to create a free blog on Google and all the ways to make money from it.

The first thing you need to do before creating a blog is find a profitable niche.

Find a niche

I’d like to share with you my secret strategy for finding a profitable niche. First, I tell you what a blog niche is. A blog niche is a topic or subject you cover in all your blog content. Some niches are education, fashion, football, cricket, etc., but unfortunately, these niches are highly competitive.

Creating a blog without a niche can confuse and alienate your audience. I prefer to work on trending micro-niche like gaming keyboards, egg recipes, low-calorie diets, etc. This can help you quickly build a good audience and gain authority over search engines like Google.

I personally use Flippa.com and Google Trends to find a profitable niche.
