Learning how to create a blog was quite intimidating for me in the beginning because of some reasons I can share with you here. First of all I don’t like writing (well, that’s strange, I know what you think). Why are you blogging if you don’t like writing? Some people can easily write their personal blogs because they have the natural ability and passion but writing a personal blog is totally different from writing a niche blog. If you use your blog as a platform to broadcast your diary or daily activity you don’t have the urge to target some specific high paying keywords and you can write whatever you want to write. Now since I wanted to make some niche blogs that send money into my pocket I for sure had to take a different approach, every single post I wrote should attract both human and Google search engine attention which at the end generated some clicks to my Adsense or my affiliate links.
The second problem was I had no idea about finding the high targeting keywords. I really made mistakes in the past concentrating on high paying keywords that actually had too many competition. To made it even worse I knew nothing about them. Yes, I picked up credit card processing and other merchant services related keywords and my electronic engineering background didn’t help me at all…. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that you can’t write something you don’t know. What I try to share here is you will find it more difficult if you are not familiar with the stuff you are trying to promote. After this fiasco I wrote another 2 blogs, one of them related to my hobby and the other one was really new for me but this time I spent more effort and time on it so I didn’t repeat the first failure. My writing speed ratio for those blogs was 2:1. I was more productive on the hobby-related blog however I generated more money even with less Adsense clicks with the other blog.
Html codes, scripts, themes, plugins, compatibility, just name any terms commonly found in blogging. I have to admit that sometimes they really bugged me especially when I was experiencing problem with one of them. Luckily I learned all of them step by step after I join the Niche Blogger. I have to say here that Amy can teach you how to create a blog from a newbie’s perspective and she doesn’t positioned herself as a guru. Her free 3-Day Trial program is really worth trying and I recommend it especially if you haven’t seen any money generated from your blogs.
If now you ask me how to create a blog that sells I would say that niche blogging gives me a faster result and if you do it consistently you will see result in months. In my case the Adsense started to build some revenue two weeks after installation but results may vary depend on what niches you are working at. Just like any other real works (yes, my friends, to me niche blogging is a real job!) you will have to work hard especially in the first 6 months. This isn’t a getting rich scheme at all that some internet gurus out there always try to fool you.

Hi Rudiawan,
Nice post! I like that you pointed out that it is difficult to promote “stuff” you are not familiar with. Learning a proven system helps us build a foundation which will guide us towards familiarity.
Yes, Cheers to Your Online Success!
