Top Reasons You Should Start Blogging Today

Blogging should be must for any business or brand owner who wants to grow his/her business. If you have a passion for anything like fashion, music, cooking etc and Dont know how to get started, I'll advice you to go into blogging.

Through blogging you can reach to a lot of people and probably tell them a lot you know about something, and they will be glad to read your posts.

With blogging you can reach out to a lot of people.

It's one of the main lessons marketers teach small business owners:

blogging can significantly improve your digital marketing success. From drawing people to your site to establishing thought leadership in your industry, an active business blog is the engine that drives your digital efforts.

If you’ve already got the whole not dying thing down, and are now looking to do things like impress recruiters, build your resume, and learn new skills, then I have another piece of advice:

You need to start a blog.

Here are my top reasons why you should start a blog while you’re still in college or unemployed. I have already published a huge guide to building a blog on this blog.

Make Money
Yes you held me right, but it isn’t likely, and I don’t want you to go out and start a blog with the main intent of getting rich off of it. It’s not likely, and making money off a blog is hard if you Don't have passion for it. With a blog you can generate a while lot of money if you are determined in blogging, reminder, do not blog because you want to make money, if you do make sure you are posting quality contents that people will love to read.

Establish Yourself as an Expert

Have you ever worried that no one would take you seriously because you’re a student?

Have you ever thought,

“I’m just a freshman with no job history – who’s going to hire me?”

Lots of college students have the same worries. I did too. The problem with college is that the experience you gain through your classes doesn’t really label you as “credible” until you’ve graduated (and even then, it’s limited).

Well,starting a blog can fix that. Think about it. What if you picked a topic you wanted to become recognized as an expert in, and then wrote Just 2 article per week about it on your blog?

After just one year, you’d have 104 articles. That’s 104 pieces of content that show, for all the world to see, that you know what you are talking about. Coupled with the networking potential I talk about below, this becomes an incredibly effective way for you to become credible and establish yourself as an expert. I’m sure this is obvious to you, but I’ll say it anyway. Experts get hired.

Teach Other People Useful Things

My other reasons for starting a blog are all personal benefits, but there’s a reason this one comes in here. Blogging is about helping other people. Really, if you’re doing it right, life is about helping other people. Running a blog gives you an amazing opportunity to help others by teaching them what you know– and it’s the highest reward blogging will bestow upon you.

Every time I get an email or a tweet from a readers just like you telling me they found one of my articles useful, I’m absolutely elated. Every time somebody emails me, thanking me for some piece of advice, it makes my day and I’m honored to have been able to help. Even if all the other benefits I’ve listed below didn’t apply, this reason alone would make blogging worth it. Think of the last time you helped a friend with something you’re good at, and now apply that to everyone you could connect with through the internet. The potential is amazing.

Build an Amazing Network

The key to meeting interesting people and building great relationships is finding others who share your interests, values, skills, and dreams. By running your own blog, you’re broadcasting all of those things to the world. Guess what?

Lots of other people are doing the same thing. Once you have a blog, you can reach out to other people who share your interests and build a relationship with them. Of course, you can do this without a blog – but having one gives you a body of work that shows off your interests. I’ve made some amazing friends through blogging.

I’ve both helped and been helped by lots of the people I’ve met through running this blog. Some have helped me with SEO problems. Others have happily critiqued my work. There are couches in multiple cities all over the country open to me, should I want to travel.

1. Learn Useful Technical Skills

2. Become a Better Writer

3. Solidify Your Knowledge Though Teaching

What is Adsense ? And How to Get Adsense Approval

What is Google Adsense ?

Google AdSense is a CPC (cost-per-click) advertising program that allows publishers (anyone wanting to put ads on their websites or blog) to insert a small amount of HTML into their sites and have ads appear that are targeted and relevant to the content of the site.

The good news is that Adsense is about the easiest way for bloggers or webmasters to start making money with their sites. After installing the ad code in your site, the Adsense spiders will crawl your site to see what all your pages are about.

They then check their inventory of ads and put related ads next to each of your articles. This works out well for everyone as someone reading an article on gardening is much more likely to buy gardening tools than someone who is reading an article about car tires.

How to get Google AdSense Approval

Google AdSense is one of the best ad networks to monetize a website or a blog. It is 90% better than any other CPC advertising programs. It offers the publishers the highest CTR for every web page. The publishers could make lots of revenue daily from Google Adsense.

Every new webmaster has a dream to monetize his website with this ad network. But unfortunately, many of them fail. Adsense has introduced some strict rules and requirements. It seems hard to get Adsense approval for our own blog.  But, we know impossible is nothing.

The good news is “Getting Approval of Google AdSense with a New Blog is Now Really Easy”, if you follow some basic rules from the starting of your blog. when I first tried, I failed to get approval. But, following these rules, now I have an approved AdSense account. Thinking about this topic, I made a decision to share the basic rules of AdSense.

First Ready Your Blog Before Applying for Adsense:

Adsense moderators always approve those blogs whose have met up the requirements. First of all, you should make your blog ready for this process. Check first if your blog considers these requirements. Now, there are some initial basic requirements announced by AdSense team, and there are some known hacks and tricks that work. For example, on this official Page it's mentioned that for countries like China & India, publishers need to own the site for minimum 6months, which is not a thumb-rule. Many Indian bloggers have got approval with one-month-old domain. The only thing which really matter here is“Quality”. Let’s look at factors which will make your blog AdSense ready:

Write High-Quality Contents:

A writing proverb “Content is King” helps you understand this requirement. A high-quality blog is identified with the high a quality contents. Great contents mean unique, decorated, stated and clear concerted content. Some black hat webmasters say, copy paste content only between 100-200 words is enough. But, I may assure him that his journey to Adsense will be certainly finished. I think,how a blog post or content could be only between 100-200 words? In my judgment,it is not possible to completely describe atopic within 100-200 words. And if copy paste content is enough, anybody can declare him as a blogger.

Please keep in mind, GoogleAdSensedoesn’t approve blogs with copy pasted copyright content.A well-optimized blog post should be 100% unique and above 500-600 words. So, always write blog post above this limitand it must be unique which clearly determinate the post topic.

Optimize Blog Post with Meta Tags and Make It Search Engine Friendly:

Optimize your unique blog post with MetaTitle and DescriptionTag. The meta tags describe what the content is about to the crawlerbots. It is not possible for AdSense editorial board to check every single website that has applied to get AdSense approval. So, positively they will use their crawler bots. The bots will check for every footprint on your blog.  That’s why you should make sure; you have specified these tags with appropriate information.

Please keep in mind that your Meta Title should be between 69 characters (including spaces), and Meta Description should be between 156 characters (including spaces).

Have Sufficient Contents or Posts:

You must lead sufficient contents or posts on every page and category. In total, you should have 15-30 blog posts on your whole blog. This is not an official declaration. But, I recommend everybody to at least have it. So, you should have at least 3-4 posts in every category, tag and page. Google Adsense told that we must have sufficient contents in every single web page. So, we should add contents in all pages and categories. There shouldn’t be any blank page without any content. And these posts have to pass the minimum length of 500-600 words as it isthe best blog post length. The more you increase the length, the more you go towards to get Google Adsense approval.

Blog Domain Must Old At least 6 Months:

As I mentioned above, in certain countries like India and China, there is a requirement for 6 months for the domain to apply for AdSense. Here is official statement from Adsense team:

"In some locations, including China and India, we require publishers to have owned their sites for 6months. We’ve taken this step to ensure thequality of our advertising network and protect the interests of our advertisers and existing publishers"

Some blog domain could get approved having less old than six months. Even, I got my Adsense account with just two-month-old domain. Can you imagine?But, the average domain age for certain geo-location should be six months.

Apply Using Root Domain:

You should always apply using the root domain like yourdomain.com. Not blog.yourdomain.com.

Be Serious to Choose Content Images:

Google Adsense doesn’t approve blogs if they lead to copyrighted contents. Copy righted means the things that have been copied from others directory without their permission. And we make faultevery timewhen choosing an image. Some people just go to an image directory, take their suitable images and upload these on their blogs. Did they ever check if they have permission to use these? The really sad news is that, most of the webmasters who fail to get Adsense because of this copyrighted law.And this is really caused by copyrighted images.

Don’t Have Adsense Prohibited Content:

Adsense has directly told that, sites with adult contents, copyrighted contents, drug alcohol-related contents, hacking cracking contents, violent contents, weapons related contents and other illegal contents will not be approved.

Applying for Google Adsense:

If you follow all the above mentioned tips, you are most likely to get your AdSense application approval at first go.
