Bloggers need to avoid general topics that have high-quality content. If you want to get success then jump with new topics or with outdated information. Readers also don't trust theory - they wanna read stories. If you don't have your own story then provide others that you know. For example, for my Russian and Ukrainian blog I wrote the blog post about Instagram promotion with a lot of examples of big brands. Without any external backlinks this article ranks on the top-3 and brings a lot of traffic.
At 68 a retired mechanic, and I have just completed my Digital Marketing course but also like to learn a little bit more about, blogging, and content marketing, and I must say your tutorials are simple and clear, grabbing my attention. One thing is to complete a course another is how to use that resource to earn a passive income.

Learning SEO before getting too deep into article writing is sooo important. I still have to go back through my first year’s article to update them and it’s a headache.
I haven’t started blogging yet. I’ve just been writing in a word doc for now. I feel a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out a niche. I want to do personal experience type things with fitness, day to day life, and food lol how can I do that?
As a beginner, i am unable to decide topic for blogging. could you please guide with some niches ( especially for those who are from non tech background)
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ , I’m a complete beginner, so forgive me if I’m talking blunder. I want to start a blog after an year, but I already have the name for the blog. What should I do to secure the name? I found that it’s available for the blog&social media too. I can start RUclips, ig, fb, Twitter with that name, but I don’t know what to do for the blog, which is the main part. Should I buy a domain name and host as well? This name means so much to me, that’s why I want to secure this name even though I will start posting only after an year (because of studies and all)
Really enjoyed your Tips for Beginners Sam. You are a good presenter and there was no hard sell. Happy to subscribe. Do you have any tips for a blog which is just an opinion column - just like a columnist writes in a newspaper? I have been writing posts for years but there is no NICHE. Topics can be politics, humour, Trump; Ukraine, Pet Peeves etc. My hope was that if I am usually an enjoyable read, people will check back to see what I am addressing regularly. Not so. Most people won't read more than a tweet. I use Blogger and used to get maybe a few hundred hits a day - now 4-5! I never tried to commercialize it. Almost ready to give up. I just enjoy writing.

Thanks for sharing, and I recommend you change the words of "Actually" to some can identify what is really after; not just the traffic, it's conversion.
Hi Sam no wasting time to the point I wud say that Ur tutorial was the easiest n knowledgeable which I haven't found yet. I ll keep on going through Ur tips thankyou.
Hi sam, I'm following you for a long time now and love the way you explain everything so quickly. Your big fan from the video Stealing link from low quality pages and I am working on it! thanks for the quick tips in your videos. These are very helpful tips for those who are just starting out. I just Shared this Video in my Facebook Group!
Thank You for making it so simple. I feel like I have a true guideline to starting my blog. I didn't want to just create anything for content and I didn't want to have just a product page with a cart either. Thanks Much. Super Helpful
Thanks for your quick and on point tutorial . Because I wanted to start blogging as a hobby but I just wanted to do some research on that and I get everything in one place so thank you for sharing this is easy way
Hi, great video! I have started a blog in Spanish this year about culture, travel and business in Asia. I though that in order to differentiate my blog from other travel blogs I would be publishing articles about cultural elements of Asian countries as well as geopolitical analisis so the reader can have a more "immersive Asian experience". But in fact some of these keywords, although don't have much competition, are not very monetizable as well. Do you think this is a good approach or you would recommend another strategy? Thank you so much for your amazing videos!
Look at search volume for the keywords you target. Topics sounds good to me, but if there is a lack of interest (meaning traffic) then you will not get a lot of value from this content. - Max
Hi ,i started blogging 1 month ago in blogger .i want to buy a domain and hosting but I cant.i wanted to earn something from blogger so that i can invest it in buying domain and blogger but i am stuck.i am not getting approved for adsense and i am not getting views too.I wrote blogs on many topics and when i searched those topics on google and compared them with mine,my blogs were far better in content and quality but even then my blogs are not getting ranked .PLEASE HELP.
Hey sam, i have great knowledge about 1= dogs(health,disease, nutrition etc) and 2= beauty products and health .. And i want to start a blog but confuse which niche should i choose in these 2.. Can you guide which niche have lower competition
You need to do some keyword research to check both niches, amount of topics you can cover from start and possible traffic for the keywords you plan to target. Of course, consider the competition for each keyword you go for. You may want to check our keyword research playlist here - ruclips.net/p/PLvJ_dXFSpd2u5JCtiYWfvnSvAkoPwg5VY - Max
The another best video by Sam. Hey Sam, Can you please make video on how to create catchy images for your blog post? I know it's not come under your niche. But if you can, please make a video.
As you guessed, probably not :) Take a look through blogs that you like and draw inspiration from them. Also, you can check out dribbble and hire freelancers there with work you like. -Sam
Hi Sam, Just wondering what would be your advice to those who blogging is focused on a niche that is so specific that there aren't much competition to gauge and compare?
Then it might be worth asking whether it's worth focusing on that niche. Of course, if it's a passion project or it's an industry that isn't highly searched for (but exists), then it's still worth it. You might want to go one-level higher and target terms. E.g., if there are no search volumes for "keto" (just an example), then you might want to target other relevant-and-related areas, e.g. "paleo", "low-carb diets", etc. - SQ
Awesome content as ALWAYS. A die heart follower and I LOVE your excel sheets actually I use it every day for outreach emails :) By the way, I like your hoodie and Ahref logo on it... is it only for employees? Can this die heart follower get one too? LOL :)
There are plenty of tutorials on Google and RUclips that'll guide you on how to start a blog. Just do a search for it! In the meantime, we'll add this topic to our list of topic ideas, and hopefully, create a video on it soon. - SQ

I am a blogger, I have 8 articles with 4500 views in 1 month . I applied 1 February for Adsense and today 28 February but I did not get the approval of Adsense, I also pasted the AdSense code in blog and made a page about us, Disclaimer, Contact us , privacy and also gave feedback 3 times but nothing happened. Please reply me what can I do.
Thank you very much. I am having every day comments with content having just numbers with couple letters. I don’t open it and delete but some of them I can not delete? What that? Thank you very much!
No body ever says how to do this kind of stuff for review sites for product review sites. Can you do this for review sites I don't have any idea how to get links for my posts thanks
Did you have a look at our linkbuilding playlist - ruclips.net/p/PLvJ_dXFSpd2tjUTuAHpHidz5e2hAedP_m I guess you can start from competitor research. Check what websites link to them and look for possible link opportunities there. Broken linking building should be a good option for you as well.
