How is blogging alive?
Bloggers who are surviving in this industry know how to manoeuvre. One thing they know is that you have to rely on organic traffic, social and direct traffic. The era of relying only on organic traffic is over.
As a blogger, you should also focus on specific niche such that you become an expert in your industry.
Niches which are doing well currently
News,gossip and entertainment, education,politics, business and sports.
If you focus on news,you will get traffic. The same case applies to gossip and entertainment.
You should also target content that isn’t in AI sites like ChatGPT. This is why News niche is doing well.
Also, forums are doing very well. Here is where members interact freely. Some bloggers have converted their blogs into forums.
Google is also ranking forums highly because those commenting are real humans with first hand experience.
How to make money blogging
AdSense is one source but you can not entirely depend on it. You can also make money through affiliate marketing and sponsored posts.
I have actually been blogging for a while and to be honest,sponsored posts and affiliate marketing are doing well for me. Even without a lot of traffic,I am able to make money.
Competition from videos and social media
About 10 years ago,many people used to visit blogs to get information there,but the trend has changed. Now,information is available on YouTube, social media and forums. It’s also available on AI sites like ChatGPT. This makes it hard for blogs to get decent traffic.
As a blogger,you should diversify. Even as you post on blogs,you should also own YouTube channels, forums and social media accounts.
Future of blogging
In future, bloggers who will survive are those posting consistently and in specific niches. You cannot post anything and everything on your blog and grow. People should know that if they need information on specific things,they will visit a specific blog.
