People turn to Google for answers to their questions and I make money by responding to them on this blog. I show you how.
I started this blog in 2017 after I had just been retrenched from a job that I loved so much as I suddenly had so much extra time in my hands.
I also wrote a book about my retrenchment journey to inspire others who might be in the same position.
The blog makes $500 to $700 a month by basically answering questions that people are asking Google around traveling the world on a ‘third world country’ passport – hacks, lessons learned, visa guides, travel insurance, immigration, working abroad, living abroad, studying abroad, making money online, passive income, side hustle opportunities, etc.
When Covid 19 struck and the entire world shut and people were no longer traveling, I spinned the blog to answer different questions around ways of making money from home, making money online, etc.
How Do I Do it?
I bought the www.evamtalii.com domain name from Godaddy.
I then pay for monthly hosting from BlueHost and monetize the blog through Ezoic. Ezoic is a Google Adsense publishing partner.
As Google is currently the most visited search engine on the planet, it wasn’t rocket science to use it as a source of inspiration for the blog.
As at the writing of this article, there are more than 300 articles on this blog that answer questions that people are searching for on Google.
When people view pages on my blog, Ezoic pays me.
I use Google search to identify those very basic questions that people are asking for on the topics that I cover on this blog.
I type one question into Google search bar, and it in turn suggests to me related questions that people are also searching for as shown below:
I then write posts based on these related questions.
Sometimes I find that there are already other websites ranking on the first page of Google for the same questions that I want to answer.
Should I decide to go ahead and answer the question, I just make sure to give a more in-depth answer and also check in that article’s comment’s section for any questions readers are also asking for but haven’t been answered.
Most times I just type random questions into Google search bar.
Some times, I look for leads from Quora, YouTube, reddit, Facebook groups, Twitter, etc.
Final Remarks
Blogging is are not dead. Yet.
People are still making money. As long as you are willing and prepared to put in the work to inform, entertain, or motivate.
Give value, get paid.
There is money out there for the taking.
Thank you for reading.
