10 tips to make blogging a successful business opportunity

Last year, I shared 100 ideas to make money online within a budget of Rs 5,000. The ideas have been read by at least 1 million people because the post went viral on social media, but no one knows how many people were able to make money even when the ideas were backed by SEO keyword research (yes, I am sort of an expert at identifying opportunities in Google SEO). My blog started generating monthly traffic of more than 1 lakh within the second year of starting it. Blogging is powerful because you don’t need any product to sell.

I have tasted success in bloggin

Bad writing is full of “noise”; it contains complicated words and ideas, and grammatical nonsense such as useless adjectives and adverbs. Content Writing Tips focus means claritySloppy writing clutters the messages, and dilutes the simplicity of messages that humans crave. Spend seconds online and bad writing is everywhere, especially on many businesses’ core marketing tool that I call the true COO of any company – a website. Sometimes it takes a deep reading to simply understand what services or products that company is marketing. This lack of clarity results from bad copywriting, which has become a leading epidemic in the world of online marketing alongside thin content.

But professionally, this reliance on quasi-philosophical spin is one of the fundamental ways architecture differs from other practical pillars of society, such as law, finance or medicine. Those disciplines are based on structures of knowledge (precedent or code, economics, and science, respectively) that mediate between professional decisions and subjective judgement. Architecture’s lack of a comparable mediator—between personal preferences and formal prescriptions—may be at the heart of a disconnect between architects and the people they design for. And for good reason: non-architects expect a system of empirical reasoning to support the creation of something as fundamental as shelter. As a result, a primary concern for the discipline should lie in developing its own common structu

3 COMMON SEO MISTAKES HURTING YOUR TRAVEL BLOGGING RESULTS
