Unlike any other job, if you are blogging from home. You don’t need to work 9-5.
You can work at any time of the day with ease.
But beware blogging takes time before it starts making money for you.
So I suggest you jump into this field slowly.
If you have a day job, don’t quit it. Start part-time with your blog.
Once it is on the stage where it is earning you more than your comfortable limits then it’s the best time to turn into full-time blogging mode.

Tips -
1. Start a blog about something in which you are really good at.
For e.g. If you love travelling and you have travelled a lot of places then start a travel blog.
2. Always try to limit your blog to a particular domain. Don’t put content about multiple domains in one blog.
For e.g. Writing about recipe tips on a fashion blog.
Keep your blog specific to one domain only.
3. Using your experience and expertise, try to create a very unique and phenomenal content.
4. Try to give a lot of value to your readers. Write about something that will make a difference in your reader's’ life.
5. Listen to the readers of your blog. Try to solve the problems they are facing. Always reply to their comments. Make them feel better.
6. Be committed to your blog. A blog is like a relationship. Give it some love and it will flourish. Ignore it and it will die a death.
There’s no point in being half-hearted in your blogging efforts - if you don’t care about it, why should anyone else?
7. Think about content, style, tone of voice, audience, etc.
Look at the people who already do what you’re planning to do. Ask yourself the following questions:
- How will I stand out from the crowd?
- What can I say that hasn’t already been said?
- What’s my unique selling point?
- Why do I want to do this?
8. Be professional in the way you handle and grow your blog.
Don’t criticize other brands, bloggers or people. Remember what goes around comes around.
You don’t want something you’ve said to come back and bite you one day.
9. Be open minded and willing to collaborate with other creatives. You’ll meet some fantastic and awe-inspiring people.
