Thank you very much and God bless you.
After reading your previous lesson on how to start blog, I got all the info, but my biggest fear is that I, myself don’t even know what to start blogging about.
I seriously have passion for online business especially this blog of a thing but what to offer there is what I don’t know.
You may ask me what do I like discussing everyday or so,
Honestly I love entertainment, sports and relationship..
Now, how do I start writing on any of this things.
Sir, I’m seriously helpless
Don’t know if you are going to give me a clue.
Thank you Sir
But unfortunately, I will not advice you to blog on any of those topics. The reason is that those topics hardly have physical product you can sell or promote on your blog to make money.
You will only be depending on AdSense earnings which is very risky. Again, there are more competitions on those topics you mentioned. I will advice you research a smaller niche topic that have physical products, build and niche blog and develop it to the level it can make money for you.
I will soon write a comprehensive on how to start a niche blog. Regards.
