#2. How You started Your First Blog.

My story is very interesting. When I learned HTML during my last semester exam of my engineering then I decided to make a webpage using HTML. I designed it and after that, I purchased a domain name and hosting from Godaddy. In this way, I created my first single-page website.

At that time, I didn’t know about Google Blogger, WordPress, SEO, Google Adsense, and Affiliate Marketing. I created this website due to my interest in Web page designing. Then I learned on ShoutMeLoud that we can also earn from our blog through Google Adsense. So, I apply for Adsense and due to invalid clicks, my account got banned within one year.

After 3 Unsuccessful blogs, Finally, I created a blog BloggingLift.com which is not well known and a successful blog.

#3. How You Learn About SEO, Blogging Etc…

I learned everything myself without purchasing any course. I learned WordPress, SEO, Affiliate Marketing and everything by reading articles and watching YouTube videos.

But It took me around one year to learn the basics of it. That’s why now I think that if anyone has the budget then he/she should purchase blogging and SEO course of pro bloggers to learn to blog in the fastest way because they have years of experience in this field so that you can save a lot of time.

“Time is Money” so don’t waste your time and If you don’t have money to purchase SEO course then you can also join my Facebook group where you can discuss your blogging-related doubts with me and other expert bloggers of our group.

#4. For Beginner Blogger What is Best Blogger Or Wordpress.

We all know that WordPress is the best platform to build a professional blog.

If you want to start a blog and have $100-$150 then I highly recommend you to buy a good hosting and use WordPress.

And if you don’t have money then you can start your blog on Google Blogger platform for FREE and when your blog starts making money then you can shift your blog from Blogger to WordPress.

But the main problem with the FREE platform like Google blogger is that if you break any of their terms and policy then they can remove your blog without any notice and all of your work and content will vanish.

#5. Do new Bloggers able to rank in 2019 and beyond. Possible?

Yes, new bloggers can also rank in Google in 2019. But as we all know that competition is increasing every day. So, you’ve to work hard. Here are some tips for newbie bloggers to improve ranking:

#6. As per you how much budget needed to start a blog!

you can easily start your blog under $100.

You need these things to start your blog:

And if you can afford then you must purchase Thrive Architect plugin to create attractive looking pages and blog posts.

I know that traffic is the main problem of every newbie blogger. But I want to share some tips which can help you to get traffic:

#9  Say Something about your earning! To Motivate Newbies.

Yes, I’m making money from my blog. But it’s fluctuating every month. I have one suggestion for a newbie blogger that if you start your blog today and you think that you can make thousands of dollars within 10-15 days. Then it’s not possible.
