How to create a free blog using Blogger and Earn Money

What is Blogger?

Blogger is a free blog hosting site owned by Google. Blogger.com allows its users to create blog for himself or for a team without spending a single penny. You can create a free blog for anything you like and on any topic. All you need is just some crazy ideas that go viral on internet. So lets start with the tutorial on How you can create a free blog using 'blogger.com'.

                             How to create a free blog using Blogger.com and Earn Money

Tutorial:

Step-1: Creating a Gmail Account:

For creating a blog on blogger.com you need a gmail account. If you already have a Gmail account then you can skip this step and follow step 2. 
  1. Go to gmail.com
  2. Fill your details. (Don't use your blogger blog's name as your email id).
    *Fill all the details correctly because these details are important for your adsense account.
  3. Complete the sign up procedure and Activate your gmail id using your Mobile number.
Now you are eligible to create a blogger blog.

Step-2: Creating a Blogger Blog:

  1. Go to blogger.com and login to blogger using your Gmail id.
     
  2. Click on Create blog/New Blog button..

  3. Now a pop-up box will appear(see image below), add the title of your blog (Like Windroid Tricks)

Points to remember:


  • In some cases you won't be able to choose a direct domain name like 'windroidtricks.blogspot.com', in that case you have to add some dashes( - ) or numbers in your domain. I suggest you to add dashes because numbers look really unprofessional.
      
  • You can't remove 'blogspot.com' from your domain name because it is a free blog. You can remove 'blogspot.com' from your blogger by buying a top level domain like xyz.com, xyz.in etc. After buying your domain you have to transfer it to your bogger blog. Follow your domain hosting site's procedure to transfer your top level domain to blogger.

Some tips :

  1. Don't loose hope if you are not getting 100's or thousands of page views in a day. It is because you have a new blog and it will take time to become popular.
  2. Write atleast one article in a day.
  3. Add some cool widgets to your blog.
  4. Write original posts and Don't copy posts from other sites. 

Earning Money from free Blogger Blog:

You can earn money from your blog usingadvertising companies like Chitika, Infolinks and the most famous Adsense by Google. 
  • You can apply for chitika and Infolinks after 4-5 weeks of creating your blog and with atleast 25-30 Posts.
     
  • For adsense you have to wait for atleast 6 months if your from India or any other country in Asia and for 3 months if you live outside of Asia. Gettings Adsense approval is a very difficult procedure. You might not get adsense approval in first time but keep applying for it after 1-2 months. You will definately get approved.

Final Words:

Creating a blogger blog is very easy but it is difficult to manage it. You have to give your blog proper time to make it good and popular. If you need any help then you can comment below, I will definitely help you solving your problem.
