Blogging is one of the most popular and best ways to earn money online. Most importantly, you are getting paid by writing while sitting at home.

For free blogs, you just need to sign up and start writing blogs.

Blogspot(Bloggers) is the most popular platform for writing free blogs. Below I will mention all the popular platforms (both free and paid) for blogging.

To start a free blog, first of all, you need to :

• Sign up
• choose your layout and themes
• decide what to blog about
• customize your pages and make your website beautiful
• Monetize your website

Last and most important part is “Monetization”. Monetize your website by placing ads through Ad programs like Google AdSense.

But remember the content of your blog is the most important thing because in order to grow the audience you need good contents. The more visitors, the more you can earn.

2. Earn money online with YouTube

Yes, you heard right you can make money by uploading videos to YouTube. Nowadays most of the people prefer YouTube than google search.

And it takes only a few minutes to create your channel and upload videos. But I suggest uploading videos according to your interest so that you didn’t get bored and enjoy creating videos.

You know most of the YouTubers start the channel, upload some videos and then quit. Why? Because they don’t know what to upload next. That’s why I recommend to everyone that before starting the youtube channel first decide your niche.

TIP – Keep uploading videos, grow audience and have patience. Once youtube start recommending your channel then you will know how much you earn. Patience is the only key to success in this field.
