Introduction
Hey there
Welcome to this book and I hope that you are excited because I’m going to
show you different paths to take in order to make $5,000/month with
blogging.
You’re going to learn how to choose a profitable niche.
If you are a beginner, I’m also going to show you how to create your own
blog from scratch even if you don’t know a single line of code.
You’ll learn the best ways to monetize your blog for maximum profits.
By the end of this book, you should have chosen your topic, you should have
a basic knowledge on how to create a blog and you should have a fool proof
plan to make money with your new blog.
With that being said, let’s start by picking your niche.
On choosing a niche
In my opinion, the best way to get started blogging is by choosing something
you enjoy doing. Of course, your topic should already be a proven money
maker. Well, how do we know if it is profitable or not from the start?
Easy
Look for other blogs that has the same topic.
Let’s say I’m passionate about SEO (which I am)
I’ll search for “seo blogs” on google and see if there are bloggers out there
selling seo services, seo trainings etc.
I know personally that this is a huge market and the opportunity is endless.
For you to know if it would be a good market,
Here are a few guidelines that you need to follow.
Look at other blogs on your topic and see if there are interactions in the
blog itself. If people are commenting on post then you have a better
chance of selling something on that niche.
Ex. Marketing/seo niche (viperchill.com)
141 comments on 1 post
See if there are any products being sold on their blogs.
Ex. Acne niche (highonhealth.org)
Choose something you will write about even if you won’t get paid
Blogging can be taxing especially if you don’t love what you are writing
about. There’s no point in making a lot of money if you’re not enjoying your
life’s work.
Your blog is not just a blog. It is a part of you in some way, you
communicate your thoughts and your knowledge through the blog and if
you’re not passionate about your topic, then you are going to get burned out.
Niche Research
Here are the topics that are proven money makers. Choose something and dig
deeper on those niches. Later I’m going to show you how to choose a niche
within a niche.
Digging deeper in a niche is important,
It’s hard to make money on the weight loss niche if you don’t have a topic
within that niche. You’ll get drowned by the thousands of people already
blogging about it.
The Biggest Niches
In this part, I will outline the biggest niches you could target and why.
First of all, there are 3 MEGA NICHES and under their umbrella are the
Niches that we can target.
The 3 mega niches are HEALTH, MONEY and RELATIONSHIP. At the
moment, they are probably the source of 99% of income of all the bloggers
around the world.
Health and Fitness
1. Natural Weight Loss
As a society obsess with weight loss, why not take advantage of this trend?
The chemicals and pills industry won’t probably die soon but more and more
people are looking for ways to naturally lose weight.
2. Stress Management
We are stressed more than ever. The society takes pride of working 12 hours
a day and people are seeing it as normal. That’s insane! We can create
information products that can teach people how to lessen their stress and be
more alive.
3. Muscle Gain
This is also a long term trend that will continue to grow. In fact some people
are pretty much obsess in gaining muscle. If we narrow this down, we can
even come up with the gain six pack abs niche.
4. Easy Exercises
I hate to say this but people are lazy. They don’t want 3 hour workouts. What
they want are easy exercises that can be as effective as a 3 hour exercise. If
you can teach them something like that then you have a winner.
5. Fat Loss – Belly
The dreaded fat belly, girls hate it especially when it’s their own belly we’re
talking about.
6. Organic Food
Everybody’s getting sick because of food these days. People are starting to
join the organic food revolution. Sooner or later people will start to demand
that they’re food be organic. Also, try to narrow this down and you can also
come up with juicing fruits and vegetables, creating smoothie recipes etc.
Narrow it down even more and you will discover more hidden gold.
7. Natural Healing
Times are changing and we are going back to the old way of getting healed.
Western medicine is dying and in my opinion the large corporations from the
medicine industries will try to kill this niche market. Don’t be afraid to go in
this niche, good guys always win and people will realize how scammy the
western medicine industry really is.
8. Any Specific Health Problems
If you can help people solve a specific health problem, it can be a huge
money maker. Examples of these health (body) problems are candida and
osteoporosis. If you can teach them best practices to solve these problems
then you are in for a treat.
WARNING: Again, I am not in any way giving you this list as advice, this is
for information purposes only and I am not claiming you will make money if
you pursue one of these niches.I am also not a lawyer and a doctor to give
you and medical and legal advice in these topics.
Relationships & Dating
1. Dating Advice
As humans, we are pre-wired to find a mate. In this modern society we call it
dating or trying to find a date. We want to meet people to find a mating
partner. If you can help someone improve their dating life then you have
another winner.
2. Romantic Relationships
People want their relationships to be harmonious and at the same time
exciting. Teach people how to get the most of their relationship.
3. Marriage
Marriage is the ultimate relationship. It is a lifetime commitment to a person
and fulfilling that commitment is pretty hard. If you can help these people
build a stronger bond, it would be a great business to be with. You are
helping people and you are earning money at the same time. What a noble
way to make a living.
4. Sex
Humans love to have sex. Teach them make the most out of it. Teach them
how to find people to have sex with. Teach them the proper way to have sex.
There’s a reason why porn is a billion dollar industry. People loves sex.
5. Conflict in relationships
It doesn’t matter if it’s conflict with family, friends, business partners,
boyfriend and girlfriend, wife and husband. Teach them how they can get
through these conflicts and you will be rewarded. Remember, niches are
problems. Solve it.
Under the umbrella of Conflicts could also be the ultimate marriage conflict.
Divorce. It is also a billion dollar industry.
6. Parenting
Everybody wants to be a good parent. If you have passion for helping kids be
better then this is probably for you. Teach their parents and you will help
their kids also.
7. Psychology Behind Relationships, Conflicts, People and Business.
Teaching the psychology of anything can help people understand why they
do what they do.
8. Education in anything
It can be teaching people how to code. Teaching people how to sing, how to
play the guitar. It could be anything as long as people are searching for it.
Business and Money
1. Personal Finance
People are concerned more than ever when it comes to their personal finance.
You can teach them how to save, how to budget, how to build their
retirement account and how to get out of debt
2. Investing
There are hundreds of niches within this niche. It could be investing in real
estate, foreign exchange, investing in gold and silver, stocks, stock trading
etc.
3. Starting a business
There are hundreds of different ways to make money. It could be selling on
ebay, teaching them how to make money as a freelancer. In fact this book is
under this niche, information marketing is a way to start a business. Other
niches are Affiliate marketing, making money through adsense. If you have a
business on a certain market then teach them how to do it. Example is
teaching them how to start a restaurant, starting a a hot dog stand. Whatever,
there are millions of ways to make money.
4. Marketing
Marketing today sucks. Most marketing agencies have no idea what they are
doing, they just slap ads and if it looks great on tv they assume that it’s great
advertising. What a disgrace. Real marketing should be base on trackable
results. It’s called direct response marketing. If you can teach or apply this to
any business then you won’t ever be hungry.
5. Career
People are losing their jobs. Nobody’s hiring anymore. If you can find a way
to help these people then you will be a very very rich and happy man.
Find ways to build a better resume, teach them how to answer interviews.
Special Niches
Aside from these niches, there are niches that doesn’t exist in the past that are
available today. The very best example I can give you is the PREPPER niche.
With the rise of popularity of The Walking Dead and all those zombie
movies, people are starting to prepare for it. It may sound silly to you but
these people are irrationally passionate about these things. It’s not just
zombies by the way, it could be a certain disease or a nuclear war. It could
be anything.
I swear my neighbor is a vampire. Oh, that could be another niche eh?
Narrowing Your Niche
Once you got your niche, it’s time to narrow it down even more.
So instead of focusing on let’s say “weight loss”, why not narrow it down to
“weight loss for pregnant moms”?
Another example would be the skin care niche. You can choose acne cure
under it. That crowd is too crowded right now that’s why I would narrow it
down even more. Hm.,.How about Acne Cure for for men over 25?
You don’t have to build your blog around one narrowed down niche.
You can choose 3 narrowed down niche and feature content in all of them.
By doing this, you’ll be able to specialize in these 3 and target your market
much better.
Here’s a mind map of what would your blog look like if you take the 3
narrowed down niche path.
Basically you’ll have 3 different sub-blogs in 1 blog.
But I don’t what you to feel overwhelm, you can focus on 1 topic first and
then branch out to others as you gain more experience.
KEYWORD RESEARCH
Once you’ve chosen your niche, it’s time to do our keyword research. This
will let us know if people are searching for this topic.
Go to Google keyword planner and sign in. It’s free as long as you have a
gmail account.
https://adwords.google.com/ko/KeywordPlanner/Home
I’ll then type some keywords related to my niche.
Looks like there are people searching for keywords related to my niche.
You can repeat the process on other niches and type keywords related to your
topic.
The Better Way?
In my opinion the best way to do keyword research is to use the
“HOW TO” way, which means that we’ll find people that are searching for
solutions to their problems.
Keyword research 1.1- THE AD GROUP IDEAS
If you look at your keyword planner results after searching for
“HOW TO”
EX.
How to cure acne
How to fix….
How to do…
How to pass…
How to finish …
The point is to find keywords that have buyer intentions into it.
Another way to do this is to use the extender “BUY”
Ex.
Where to buy ….
Buy …
How much is …
Price of …
These keywords has buyer intentions behind it.
You will see a tab that says AD GROUP IDEAS
This tab has thousands of keywords that you can choose from and Google has
already compiled the keywords for you.
This is one of my favorite ways to find low competition buyer keywords.
Again, just dig dip and pick keywords and then attack it.
How to Create Your Blog
Here are the steps in creating a blog.
REGISTER A DOMAIN
Go to http://GoDaddy.com and/or http://Internet.bs.
These are the 2 registrar that I used on my previous websites and I haven’t
experience any problem using them. Feel free to use other domain registrar if
you want to.
Once you’ve chosen your domain name, click continue to cart and go to
checkout to buy it.
HOSTING SET-UP
There are a handful of hosting companies that I like to use. Here’s a list of $1
Hosting that you can use for your website.
ttp://www.1dollar-webhosting.com/
http://www.hostmonsta.com/
http://www.hostica.com/
http://www.grifhost.com/
http://www.hostso.com/one_dollar_web_hosting.php
http://www.upwebhosting.com/
http://www.whw1.com/a1/
http://www.ehostone.com/
http://hostgator.com
http://bluehost.com
If you can’t pick one, just choose http://bluehost.com
Got the hosting plan? Great!
Now, we want to connect our GoDaddy account or any domain registrar that
we have to our hosting account. We’ll do this by connecting “nameservers”.
CONNECTING NAME SERVERS
Log-in to your GoDaddy account and choose your domain that you’ve just
registered a while ago.
Click Manage. Then Click your website URL.
See the name servers above? Click “Manage” as well.
It will open a small page where you will click “Edit Nameservers”
Now, go back to your email address and check for the bluehost cpanel email,
you should have received your username and password for this.
If you can’t find your cpanel then email your hosting registrar.
Once you log in, you should see your name servers.
Copy -paste these on the other tab that we just opened a while ago.
Click OK.
Now we are set and we can now install WordPress on our site.
Please take note that sometimes, it may take 24-48 hours for your domain and
hosting to connect. But usually, it takes less than 15 minutes.
INSTALL WORDPRESS
Go to your cpanel again and click Fantastico Deluxe or QuickInstall and
Choose WordPress.
Click Install and Input the necessary details afterwards.
Once you got it installed, go to this link:
http://yoursitename.com/wp-login
Sometimes, it won’t load or it will give you an error page.
This simply means your domain and hosting are still “talking” to each other
and is still in the process of pagination.
If it gives you the log in page already then go on and log in on your newly
installed wordpress site.
CHOOSE A THEME
There are tons of FREE wordpress themes to choose from. Depending on the
theme of your website, choose something that is related to your topic/blog.
In the Appearance tab on the left. Click Themes.
Choose the Theme that you want, Click Add and Click Install.
If you want, you can also follow my 5 minute blog creation plan on my
website.

The $5,000/Month Plan
In this part, I’m going to show you several blueprints on how to go from zero
to $5,000/month with your blog.
Information Products
This has got to be the fastest way to go from zero to $5,000/month.
Ways to do it:
E-BOOKS
If you have an ebook that sells for $47 then you would need to sell roughly
107 copies per month.
If your sales page conversion is at 3% (industry conversion), then you will
need to drive around 3900+ visitors per month.
Now that may sound like a lot of people, but if you broke it down to daily
traffic then you would need (3,900/30) – 130 people every day.
If you chose a market within the 3 biggest niche, then this is very possible to
achieve in a few months.
If you can increase your conversion to 5% then you would need even less
people to achieve your goal.
Audio Courses
You can also create an audio course about your topic.
If you sell it for $197 each (yes people are buying $197 audio courses)
Then you only need 26 people to buy it every month.
Do you think you could sell at least 1 audio course every 26 hours?
Of course you can!
I hope you’re now seeing how doable this is.
Once you break it down into numbers, you’ll be able to determine how many
products and traffic do you need every day to achieve your $5,000/month
goal.
If you’re goal is 10k or 20k, then the process will be the same.
Video Courses
This one could be the most profitable because it’s much easier to scale.
Remember, the same level of skill is required to sell a $47 e-book and a $497
video course.
If you have a course that sells for $497 then you only need to sell 11 of it to
get to your goal!
Membership/subscription based course
This one could be another awesome way to monetize your blog. You can do
an interview series with different experts and create a subscription for it.
If you get 500 people to sign up for a $19 per month program then that would
be a $9500/month recurring revenue.
That’s a passive income that you only have to spend 2 hours of work with
since most interviews would only last for an hour and you can edit it for an
another hour or so. You can also outsource the editing and transcripts on
fiverr for $5-$20.
Podcast
You can also start your own podcast to gain more authority on the subject.
This could be a profitable way to monetize your blog. You can promote your
products on the podcast itself or you could advertise other people’s product
thus making you an affiliate commission.
The most important thing is to always know our numbers.
Blog Sponsors
Once your blog gained some traction, advertisers will come to you and ask if
they can advertise in your blog. What I love about blog sponsors is the
consistency on income that it can bring.
The first step in doing this monetization strategy is to create your own
advertisement page.
On the next page, I gave you a template for an advertisement page.
Affiliate Promotions
You can email your customers and promote other people’s products.
Just make sure that the product you are promoting is really good. Don’t risk
your reputation for a few thousand dollars. Do your home work and see if the
product is good or not.
Do You Want To Offer Your Product Or Service To My Audience?
If you target WHO?, _TARGET MARKET, WHO and you want to enhance
your website or brand awareness, sponsorship is right for you.
YOUR BLOGNAME is one of the top blogs in the YOUR NICHE

interested in –

Other ways to monetize your blog
Here are some other ways to monetize your blog, some of these are old ways
but are still profitable and can add up to your blog’s income.
Paid Posts
You can charge someone who wants to do a guess post in your blog.
Banner Advertising
Run network advertising via banners. You can use Kontrera, Tribal fusion
and IDG
Adsense
Put Google advertisements in your blog.
Sell It
If you want to move on and not do blogging anymore, then you can also sell
your blog for a big payday.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading this book, you now have a simple but profitable plan
to go from zero to whatever your goal is.
Take action and always provide value to other people whether you are paid
for it or not.
To your success,
Red M.
