Blogging as we all know has changed from being a thing done out of passion to being a lifetime job for some people

Many Nigerian youths or let me say many Nigerians today have their own blog(s) where they write articles that is related to their niche.

Creating a blog this days can be  done within some minutes. There are many platforms in which you can create your blog on,but out of the many platforms we have two popular platform which is blogger and WordPress

Blogger: Blogger is a platform  owned by Google inc that allows you to create and run your blog for free,you are only required to have a Google account to have access to blogger . Though blogger have some policies guiding them in which if you go against it might lead to your blog being deleted at any time they like.
So if you are on blogger platform or you are still planning to join i advice you to read their policy and try not to go against it

WordPress : WordPress as of the time that i published this post is the most popular blogging system in use on the web .There are two ways that you can  use to kick start your blog on WordPress. you can choose to host your WordPress blog on your own server (self hosted WordPress) or you can use the free WordPress platform at wordpress.com
but i will advice you to go for a self hosted WordPress platform .

So having created your own blog its time to know what it takes to build a profitable blog  that will stand out from the rest.

Here is what to do (consider) in other to make your blog a profitable one

1. Choose a niche : This is the first thing that you have to consider before going into blogging.
One of the biggest mistake that newbies make is choosing a blogging niche that they don't have passion for or  the niche that is extremely broad or overly saturated don't decide to be on a niche because you know or have heard of someone  that earns  mouth-watery monthly income from the same niche,choose a niche that you wont wake up one day and run out of what to write,choose a niche that you are passionate in be it if it is on 'how to wash clothes' you will gain audience in the niche and earn some cool cash on it if you work hard

2.Advertise your blog: You want to build a profitable blog? then you have to invest on adverts, it helps to drive more readers to your blog
, a blog is nothing without readers it is just like a teacher teaching in an empty class room

3. Blog commenting : Yes! blog commenting helps a lot. It is one of the most effective way of creating awareness for your blog and also it helps in link building which is a key factor in ranking well for your keywords in search engines. When i say blog commenting,don't think that it is all about dropping unreasonable comments in peoples blog no,blog commenting is all about reading and understanding the aims and objectives of  the topic that you want to comment on and dropping a reasonable comment on it.

3.Apply SEO tactics: SEO is an acronym that simply means 'search Engine Optimization'.
SEO is essential to blogging,traffics coming from search engines like google is regarded as a quality traffic because it is organic
5.Write quality articles: Content they say is the king quality contents is the pillar holding your blog. write pillar contents yourself don't do copy and paste because once the person that you copied his blog post reports you to Google your blog will be penalised.

6.Monetize your blog: Monetizing your blog is the surest way to make money from your blog. You will either sign up for pay per click program like Google AdSense or promoting  of affiliate links in your blog , it is up for you to decide on which one to engage yourself in.
