It takes 1 year to 3 years to make your first million as a blogger in Kenya. After making your first million, you’ll make other millions with ease. Normally, bloggers get hard times making enough money to pay their bills. The journey to making even Ksh50, 000 consistently per month takes long where consistency and hard work is paramount.

More than 90% bloggers in Kenya earn money through AdSense. So, when you create your own blog, make sure you apply to monetize with AdSense. This way, you are assured of making money every month. AdSense pays between 21^st to 30^th of every month.

With a running blog, you’ll need to create content daily. Ensure that you choose the right niche. From my own experience, news, entertainment, career, business and politics are among the highest paying niches in Kenya. Create a blog which covers stories from any of these topics.

For me, this is what happened. I started blogging in 2013,it took me two years to get my first million—I mean to see a million in my account. I used to post 3-10 posts in a day and by the time two years were over, I had over 3,000 posts. Each post got over 1,000 views. The 30,000 views I got everyday earned over Ksh 5,000.In a month, I earned at least Ksh150, 000.Saving for one year made me see Ksh 1 million with my own eyes.in short, I made my first million in 2015.

Now, if you want to make a million, ensure that you post daily and each of your posts garner over 1,000 views. By doing so, you’ll be accumulating views and in the long run, earn good money. Saving is hard, it needs financial discipline. If your daily income is Ksh5,000,spend Ksh 2,000 and save Ksh3,000.You’ll take approximately one year to save Ksh1 million.

At first you’ll be earning from AdSense but over time, sponsored posts, direct banners and affiliate marketing will be available to boost your income. Depending on AdSense alone may not generate enough income to make you a millionaire as soon as you wish, but when you combine other monetization methods, your journey to becoming a millionaire is not long.

For you to become a millionaire blogger, hard work is required—this is not a gold mine industry. It will take not less than 2 years to start making over Ksh 100,000 per month.

For those generating income from AdSense, expect to earn Ksh2 to Ksh5 per click. For every 1,000 views, you’ll be earning Ksh 80 to Ksh150.

To create a blog,you need a domain name,web hosting plan and a website. To get started,click here to visit Bluehost and register your own domain.

Maybe you have heard a lot about domain authority (DA) in the SEO field. But probably, you do not know what domain ranking is and why it matters today. In general, domain authority is a score that tells you how well your site will rank higher on SERPs. However, there are many things to know in this context. If we talk about the top picks, then people usually wonder: why it matters for SEO. After knowing these things, we have decided to share the basics about domain authority straight in this post. So, if you are curious to know, read on to the bottom line!

Domain Authority: What is it?

Domain authority (also called DA) is a score (ranging from 1-100) or a term that gives quality signals in its algorithm. In other words, it is just like a report card that tells how well your site is performing and what challenges it may face. Apart from being a metric, it is a catchall for a collection of alerts that search engines evaluate as remaining constant to authoritative sites.

Several third-party SEO tools attempt to determine DA and interpret it into a particular metric or number. You can use this number to immediately evaluate how Google renders their website’s authority or site that’s linking to others. 

How Are Domain Authority Scores Calculated?

After knowing the groundwork, you might be curious to learn how you can evaluate your site DA before jumping into the details of why it matters. Right? Well, we also want you to know the tricks of calculating it before anything. In this context, third-party tools such as domain authority checkers by SmallSEOTools, Moz, and SEMrush can help you a lot. 

All you need to do is, access a tool, drop your site link in the given box, and hit the check button. Once you do so, the website authority checker tool will show you a report card from where you can check DA PA in detail. These tools are simple to utilize and user-friendly. Experts suggest using them regularly to keep a check on your site’s condition from time to time.

Reasons why does Domain Authority Matter a lot?

You might be thinking that DA is such a waste of time. But you won’t know it is the only thing that gives soul to your site. You should know that Google doesn’t immediately use domain authority. Luckily, this is not the crucial case. Your domain authority score can be valuable to you in many ways. And here are those ways in which DA matters a lot. Take a look!

1. Predicts Website’s Organic Traffic

So, one of the most meaningful benefits of domain authority is foretelling your organic traffic. And you know how crucial it is to know everything about your organic traffic. One thing you should know: organic traffic is the set of viewers from search engines that your site earns naturally. When people visit your site via unsettled search results, they offer organic search engine traffic. And domain authority helps to evaluate that.

2. Helps you target the right visitors

Increasing your organic traffic can assist you to target accurate visitors at the right time. Once you know what the best area is to target, you can convert visitors into customers! A reliable DA PA Checker can tell you the right score, where your site stands in organic search results. As a result, you can know how to fix and move forward. Ranking profoundly on the domain authority scale can further help you bring more advertisers. Ads are essential to increasing the distinctness of your site and developing its ranking.

3. Determines the Condition of SEO

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is one of the significant factors that contact your site with search engine rankings. SEO is a multitude of several strategies, and leading ahead in all is pretty hard. When you calculate your domain authority, it will show you all the flaws – that present on-site & SEO. 

4. Evaluate the Value of Domain

Understanding your DA score can assist you in improving your overall domain significance in Google. Holding a higher domain authority implies, you will lead to higher search results than areas with a moderate score. It can be a useful thing on your site’s SEO that gives value present on your site. If you have a lower domain authority score compared to your rivals, it might be the moment to begin searching for strategies.

Conclusions

Believe it or not, but the Domain Authority of the site is one of the most crucial factors. So, try to use domain authority checker tools to keep an eye on your site. You can also use different strategies to increase your DA. One of the best strategies is to focus on backlinking. Also, try to post valuable and SEO Optimized content to grab traffic and Google’s eye! 

Mungai Eve is one of the highest paid YouTubers in Kenya, but her claim that she makes Ksh1.5 million per month are failse.We agree that she makes up to Ksh 1.5 million but her real monthly income is Ksh 200,000 to Ksh 500,000.

YouTube income is measured through RPM.In Kenya, the highest RPM one can achieve is $1.5, but Mungai’s average RPM is $1.The $1 RPM means that she makes $1 per 1000 views.

At the moment, she has 245,000 subscribers. Her videos attract 1 million to 3 million monthly views. Since RPM is $1 it means for every 1 million views, she earns Ksh100, 000.There was a time I saw her monthly views being 4 million. With these number of views, she will earn not more than Ksh500, 000.

Recently, she claimed that her least amount of money she earns is Ksh700, 000 per month, which is not true.Infact, Ksh700, 000 is the highest amount of money she can earn with her current views.

We have dealt with AdSense since 2011 and we are able to detect false iformation.Eve only wanted to intimidate other YouTubers.

Do you know you can create a blog for just Ksh 5,000 in Kenya? Let me show you the steps to follow when creating one.

• Register your domain name

A Domain name is very important, it’s the one giving your blog an identity. Registering one is free at Bluehost—they won’t charge you any money. To register, click on this link and visit Bluehost website, then select domains and search for your preferred domain name. You will only register a domain name which is available.Bote that .com domain names are more powerful than the .co.ke ones.

You will be provided with a search button as indicated below:

You will only register a domain name that’s available. If the result shows that the domain is unavailable, come up with another domain name. You will enter as many as possible before you get an available one.

• Web hosting

Domain registration goes hand in hand with web hosting. Since you’re registering a new domain, shared hosting is the right package for your website. The cost of shared hosting ranges between Ksh4, 200 and Ksh 5,000 per year. I would prefer you select Basic Plan which is the cheapest among the shared hosting plans. To select the plan,click on this link

Go to Bluehost, Select Hosting and from the drop down, click on Shared Hosting.A window will appear showing all plans on Shared Hosting. Pick Basic Hosting.

At this point is where you’re required to pay Ksh4,200 to Ksh 5,000 per year. Proceed to make the payment through your VISA or MasterCard,or Paypal.

Payment procedure is as follows:

• Proceed to make payment

Payment is made through your Credit Card which is VISA or MasterCard enabled. You can also pay through PayPal.

Click on Basic Plan under Shared Hosting, and enter your new domain name as indicated below:

Then continue to enter your card details. The process will take less than 5 minutes.

In case you have issues with payment, chat with a staff member on the website—they will take you through the process.

• Install WordPress

The last step is to install WordPress on your new cPanel.All you need to do is login to your account and proceed to install—you’ll get instructions where you are required to choose a theme from the list provided. WordPress is the best Content Management System to use when blogging.

The entire process of creating a blog costs less than Ksh5,000.You don’t have to pay an expert to design a website for you—Bluehost will direct you on what to do.

Now, when you choose Bluehost, you are given 30 days to use their services and if you aren’t impressed, you’re allowed to ask for a refund—they’ll refund you full amount.

If you want to make Ksh 100,000 and above from AdSense every month, you need traffic of 700,000 and above. More than 60% of the traffic should be from search engines like Google.

AdSense pays in terms of CPM and CPC.In Kenya, one click is equated to $0.01 to $0.20.Most bloggers earn $0.05 per click. Out of 1,000 visitors,a normal blog gets 20 clicks. This means that for every 1,000 visitors, a Kenyan blogger will earn $1.For every 10,000 visitors, the blog will earn approximately $10.This amount is just for CPC.If you include CPM,then 10,000 visitors will generate approximately $15.

If your blog receives 100,000 visitors every month, you’ll earn Ksh 15,000.

From my own experience, 300,000 to 1 million visitors will comfortably generate over Ksh100,000 every month.

As a blogger, your target should be to get over 1 million visitors on monthly basis to be assured of earning over Ksh 150,000.After expenses, you’ll remain with at least Ksh100,000.

This is a common question among new bloggers. It usually comes after few days of blogging where one posts several articles without getting anyone to read them. If you are facing such a challenge, relax, don’t panic. Currently, I own 6 blogs and each of them receives more than 200,000 visitors per month. I was only worried when I created my first blog because I didn’t understand how traffic is obtained. But with experience, I learnt that content is king.

In blogging, there is a dormant period which lasts for about one year. This is the moment when most bloggers quit because they aren’t seen any fruits. But for a passionate blogger, being persistent is the best decision to make when things are not going right. All you need is to create useful content that excites readers. People will come ones and if they get what they wanted, they’ll come again and again.

The fact that someone has a huge following on social media may not help them much if their content is not good enough. You will share posts but none will drive traffic to your site because your followers know that you don’t have good content.

Generally, if you need traffic for your new site, these are the techniques to employ:

1. Create good content
2. Use the right long-tail keywords
3. Share on social media
4. Choose a niche with many keywords or one that’s popular in your region
5. Create fresh content on daily basis

• How to start blogging

After coming up with a blog, the next step is to start blogging. You need to take your time, create original posts which contain more than 500 words each. Post on daily basis until your start getting traffic. It will take up to 6 months before your blog attracts enough traffic.

One mistake you should avoid is copying content from other blogs—try as much as possible to be original.

• How to earn money from your blog

The first program to register with is AdSense. Even Standard, Nation and Tuko make money through AdSense. Your site should be more than 3 weeks old for you to apply for AdSense. For your application to get approved, avoid adult content.

• How to get traffic for your site

There only secret for getting traffic to your site is by posting useful content. Even if you use SEO tools if your content is not good, you’ll never get decent traffic.

While you post good articles, ensure that there are fresh articles at least ones a day.

In case your blog is not approved by AdSense, register for MGID—it equally pays well. To apply for MGID,click here

Blogging is becoming one of the main hustles for many Kenyan graduates. Over 1,000 blogs are created in the country each month, but only a few manage to keep afloat over time. There are a few blogs which are currently trending in Kenya, they attract the highest number of readers. Some of the blogs, like Jalango TV did not exist a couple of years back but they are giving the established ones a run for their money.

It will take you less than 2 years to start earning over Ksh100,000 every month.

If you’ve a new blog in Kenya, you can make on average Ksh 20,000 per month depending on how aggressive you are and the way they monetize your traffic. A new blog normally less than one-year-old and such a blog gets numerous challenges in regards to breaking even in the blogosphere.

A blog that’s less than three months old hardly generates over Ksh10,000 per month unless the owner creates more than 10 viral posts per day. Majority of Kenyan bloggers generate income through AdSense.

From my own experience, it’s after one year of blogging that traffic numbers start to rise, especially organic traffic. When I started my first blog, it took me 6 months before I earned by first Ksh10,000. Thereafter, I started earning upwards of Ksh50,000.

I have learnt over years that a new blog gets traffic of 1 to 300,000 in the first year.The traffic starts to grow exponentially from the second year.With traffic of less than 300,000,here is the amount of money that blog will earn from AdSense:

1. 10,000 page views—Ksh 2,000
2. 50,000 page views—Ksh8,000
3. 100,000 page views—Ksh15,000
4. 300,000 page views—ksh50,000

Your aim as a blogger is to get more than 300,000 monthly page views in order to earn above Ksh 50,000.

There are bloggers generating income through affiliate marketing, though the number is very low. Those with new blogs can make up to Ksh100,000 per month if they choose the right affiliate programs.

Now,if you wish to start a new blog,the capital required is Ksh 5,000 to Ksh 20,000.HostPinnacle or Kenya Website Experts will register a domain for you and offer hosting services.But I prefer HostPinnacle because it’s cheap and reliable.You’ll pay Ksh1,999 per year only.To contact HostPinnacle,click here to visit the company’s website
