Many of us wasted years in college doing nothing, we didn’t know it’s possible to make money. As students, ours was to move around, excite ourselves with adventure and interact with members of the opposite sex, but we came to regret. As a student, who is tech savvy, this is your chance to make money while pursuing your studies-you can do so through blogging.
Starting a blog requires simple steps; the first step is to identify the best Content Management System to use.Currently,we have more than 3 CMS but Blogger and WordPress are the best(I would advise you to go with WordPress).
Once you have decided to start a blog,the most important step is to register a domain name. It’s recommended that you buy a high level domain,which ends with .com,.co.ke,.int,.info,.org etc. The domains are sold by Bluehost…you can use this link to buy one.A domain name costs $11 to $20
After you have purchased your domain, the next step is to design a website. You can contact web designer to do for you a website or you simply design yours through WordPress.Website design costs $100 to $300(you can contact us through [email protected] if you need one).
The next step after is to host your site, but you will get the cheapest and most reliable services at Bluehost.The cheapest plan is $2.65 per month. We recommend that you pay for hosting when you purchase your domain.
Once your website has gone live, you will be required to start posting content. We always advise students and upcoming bloggers to select the content based on their passion. If you love matters to do with politics, please write about politics…if its’ entertainment, write about entertainment, this way you will grow
After you are done with those steps, you will now look for a way to make money. There are many ways to make money, one of them being Google AdSense (make sure you apply for Google AdSense, but I promise you the approval process is hectic).If AdSense rejects your blog, apply for HilltopAds (click here to apply).You can also earn from affiliate marketing, which I am also so inside, and through direct advertisements.
While you own a blog, I recommend that you create your Facebook and Twitter accounts so that you can share information from your blog.
