The $1,000 Post Formula: How I Monetized My Blog in Just 90 Days
Starting a blog is exciting, right? But let me tell you, the moment you sit down to figure out what you’re actually going to write about — well, that’s where the overwhelm kicks in. I’ve been there, staring at a blank screen, wondering if I should write about my favorite recipes, travel stories, or maybe even my (mediocre) attempts at gardening. Here’s the thing: picking the right niche isn’t just about what you love. It’s also about what people need.
A good blog niche is the difference between shouting into the void and building a community of engaged readers who hang on your every word. And let’s be real: it’s also the key to making money. A blog about, say, rare pigeon species might light up your soul, but it probably won’t light up your bank account. (Unless you’ve got a very specific audience in mind!)
In this post, I’ll share how you can find the perfect balance between passion and profit, why your niche sets the tone for your blog’s success, and the tools that can help you make the smartest choice. Trust me, with a little strategy, you can set your blog up for success from day one — and avoid the mistakes I made when I first started. Ready? Let’s dive in!
