Free WordPress Test Sites for Bloggers and Web Developers

For bloggers and entrepreneurs, WordPress is the favorite CMS system. In fact, over 40% of all websites on the planet are powered by WordPress, as of the first half of 2022, and the number keeps climbing in recent years. This very blog is built on WordPress, and if you are reading this, all the chances are that your own website is or will be a WordPress site.

One of the main reasons why WordPress is so popular among bloggers, entrepreneurs, and one-man-army projects is because it is easy to use, even for people who have no coding experience. There are millions of people that start up a WordPress site each year and learn how to build and maintain it along the way. 

Both beginners and experienced WordPress developers have numerous reasons to use test sites, and in this article, you will find out why TasteWP is the perfect solution to get and use free WordPress sites.

Why do you need a test site?

Let’s say for example that you are an entrepreneur who just started a blog on a freshly published WordPress website. As the content is being added, and the site and project slowly expand, you will soon find the need to add more tools and integrate more systems. Adding more features to your WordPress site very often means adding more plugins.

The average WordPress site has between 20 and 40 plugins, so adding a new one seems like a routine. However, there are a couple of major things that need to be taken into consideration:

Which plugin from the specific category suits your need best andIs the plugin that you picked completely compatible with all other stuff on your website?

For picking the right plugin, you can go through the sea of top lists, look carefully for the pros and cons of each plugin, and eventually pick the one you think would fit your needs best. But just like with most of the things in life, you can’t be 100% sure until you take it out for a spin. And regarding compatibility, there is just no other way than to throw the plugin in the combination with everything else that you use on the website and see how it will go.

For both of the mentioned points, TasteWP offers a quick and simple solution.

Taking a plugin (or a theme) for a test-drive

The fastest way currently available to check out any plugin from the WordPress directory is to simply edit its URL so that “wordpress” inside it is swapped with “tastewp”.

Let’s say that you are improving the SEO of your site and you want to pick one of the two most popular WordPress plugins: Yoast SEO and Rank Math. All you need to do is edit the URL from https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ to https://tastewp.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/ and hit Enter key (the same for Rank Math). A brand new test site will be launched with the specified plugin already installed. Moreover, you will be conveniently redirected directly to the plugin’s menu within the WP Dashboard.

To save you from the “work” of editing the URL to run the demo, the TasteWP team developed a magic bookmark, that you can add to your browser’s bookmark toolbar. When clicked, it will run the demo of the plugin from the current page you are on (in the WordPress official repo).

On TasteWP test sites you can also install any custom or premium plugin and test that too. All these features also apply to themes.

Theme demos can be run in the same manner as we did with plugins, with URL edits and magic bookmarks. Demos for free WP themes seem especially valuable since they are often presented all shiny and pumped up on screenshots or on front-end demos on their respective home websites. But back-end demos for them are rarely available, and once the users run it this way, they can really see what is under the hood and how much work and additional add-ons are needed for the site to look as great as the theme is advertised.

Testing plugin compatibility

If you want to check how the plugin works with the specific page builder or another plugin that you have in mind, the obvious solution is to just add up all other plugins to the demo site and run some experiments. However, often times it is more reliable to run the tests on a staging site.

A staging site is basically a clone of the main website, and you can create one on TasteWP. The Backup Migration plugin that comes already installed on each instance can help you with the creation of the staging site, as it does the website cloning in a couple of easy steps. If you are happy with the changes you made on the staging test site, you can migrate it back to the live one with this same tool.

Getting more familiar with TasteWP

Even without signing up, you can run launch some free test sites. But by signing up (which is free), you will unlock more cool features and expand the account limits.

Registered TasteWP users may have up to 6 active free test sites that last 7 days. The additional free test site can be created for each one that is expired or deleted by the user. These sites can be up to 1GB in size. For users that need test sites that have no expiry timer and have increased size (20GB), TasteWP offers premium sites, that also don’t count towards the maximum active sites limit per account. Unregistered users may have up to 2 free sites.

Controlling the active websites is done from the Site Manager section of the TasteWP Dashboard, where users can perform several actions on their test sites:

Directly jump into the test site’s WP Dashboard via the quick log-in;Reset the admin password of the test site;Download debug.log;Change the PHP version of the test site;Upgrade the regular site into a premium site;Delete the test site.

Site Templates and advanced demo links

Site Templates feature allows registered TasteWP users to create a link that will launch a WP instance with pre-defined plugins and a theme. For each template, users can select up to 5 free or custom plugins and also free or a custom theme.

In the detailed explanation about demo links, TasteWP reveals that with special codes integrated into the demo link, users can also pre-define a landing page to which link user will be redirected, and also there is a short code that hides the standard intro screen that appears on each instance.

Let’s take this demo link for example https://demo.tastewp.com/elementor-bu... – it will install the most popular page builder, Elementor, and also a few of the complimentary plugins: Essential Addons for Elementor and Elementor Header & Footer Builder. Besides these plugins, the demo also installs the popular Astra theme and upon site creation, the user will be redirected directly into Astra’s options menu.

This advanced way to create demo links is the favorite feature for plugin developers, as they can share demo links with prospects, that can check out the plugins in a more enriched environment. 

The ability to use custom plugins that can add custom content and pre-defined settings is just another bonus for developers that use(share) these demo links.

If you often browse through the WordPress plugin repository, you may have already come across plugins that offer a TasteWP demo within the plugin description.

Advanced Setup of a test site

Apart from a one-click quick test site launch from the TasteWP homepage, users can also use Advanced Setup which offers additional options for the new site creation, divided into several groups:

Selection of a specific WordPress and PHP versions;Advanced WP config options where you can adjust WP cron, debug, cache, and other core options;Pre-installed promoted plugins and themes;Giving test site a custom name;Making the test site WP multisite;Applying the premium site option.Comparing TasteWP with other test site solutions

Local WordPress test sites were once the most widely used solution to get a free website. Those took the time to set up, often with third-party tools that would make the process less complicated than it would if you wanted to set up the WordPress site completely manually.

There is a number of disadvantages to using a local test environment, one of which is in its name: local. In the era where development teams, clients, and others are globally interconnected and increasingly working remotely, there is little opportunity for isolated offline projects. TasteWP sites are online all the time and accessing each site is easy from any part of the globe.

Local sites also mean that you are using your own resources and that eventually, you will probably be cleaning up some trash. This also applies to webmasters who create staging sites on the main website’s server, consuming its resources. Having a test site on the third-party server saves your resources and you also don’t have to deal with cleaning up.

Testing plugins or code that come from unverified sources, the ones that you don’t really trust – is undoubtedly safer to run on safe grounds, far away from your local machine or hosting server.

Lastly, you will find it more than obvious that TasteWP operates at unmatched speed when it comes down to test site creation and access. In general, there is a lot of time saved by using this platform.

Apart from the lean design and ease of use of TasteWP, you might notice that the active language automatically adapts to the one that you selected to use in your web browser. TasteWP will also launch test sites in the same language if it is among the 20 currently supported on the platform.

To wrap up

Regardless if you are into blogging, online entrepreneurship, or if you are a starter or an experienced WordPress developer, you may always use the advantage of having a free test site. 

In this article, we covered several use-cases for test sites, but each week or a month during site maintenance might give you another reason to use test sites because it is an ever-changing ever-developing environment. WordPress, PHP, plugins, themes, page builders, and other things involved – are all being constantly updated. Some of those also get left behind outdated and unsupported and then the time comes to replace those parts of the machine, which just has to keep running.

To keep the website running flawlessly and without stopping, keep all the tests and experiments on safe grounds, on TasteWP.

7 Real Steps to Make Big Money Today

Hey hustlers,

Wanna make passive income?

Wanna build a real online business to make a huge amount of money online?

Don’t worry,

I’m here with the 7 real steps to make big money today.

I’m not gonna talk about a specific online business, instead, I’m going to show you an online business blueprint that’ll help learn a lot about online business.

And,

By following this blueprint you can build a huge audience and after that, you can monetize your audience.

Let’s dive right in.

1. Buy a Smartphone and a Laptop

Believe me, it’s 2021 right now, and to make money online, all you need is a smartphone and a laptop with internet access.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, now people started to work from home and that’s why our uncle-aunties now believe that internet money is real and one can definitely make millions working online from home.

I’m an internet entrepreneur and since 2015, I’m working online as a freelancer, blogger, and digital marketer. Also, I’m the founder of two internet companies and have a great team that helps us make more money online.

And again, I wanna convince you that we don’t work from a real office. We work from our home, by using our phones, laptops, and other tools available on the internet.

So, buy any smartphone and a good laptop to start your money-making journey online.

2. Learn from Google and YouTube

I’m a school dropout entrepreneur and I’m in love with self-education. Google and YouTube are the best ways to find resources to learn almost anything online. 

Lots of online courses are available for free and you can use them to build skills or to learn new things.

Hundreds of blog posts, and millions of YouTube videos are there to teach you new-age skills and these free resources are always available to help you with any of your doubts while you learn new-age skills.

(Believe me, the school has no idea about new-age skills)

To self educate yourself for free of cost, all you need is ‘Google search skills” to find free resources using Google.

3. Build a Website

A website is the best way to represent your online business and it will help you get clients from all over the world. It’s the most necessary thing you need to start an online business.

And if you wanna build an audience online, a website or blog is the best way to share your content online. It’s your own online property and it helps you grow your personal brand online.

I make websites too. So, If you have no idea about building a website, I can help you build a professional website for your online business.

4. Build a Group of a Loyal Audience

It’s the most important part of making big money today.

Whether you accept donations or not but a huge audience or a fanbase will help you boost your online income.

Numbers will help you get brand deals, you can sell your products, you can sell services and more.

If you wanna build a group of loyal audiences, at first you have to define your niche and you should know who you’re trying to reach.

After that use your content and add as much value as you can add to their life. Also always try to help your audience using your expertise and build trust to make your brand more reliable.

Nowadays, no matter how much quality content you produce, in your initial stage, you can’t reach (organic growth is slow) your target audience on social media.

So, promote your most engaging content using social media ads and reach your target audience, after that the newly engaged audience will help you reach more eyeballs.

5. Create a Lot of Contents

“If you can’t code, write books and blogs, and record videos and podcasts.” – Naval Ravikant

Content creation is the job of the future.

For content creators, the future looks bright. Even though there is a lot of competition in this industry, it is growing faster than ever before.

Nowadays you have to go omnichannel with your content strategy because omnichannel strategy not only captures your current audience but can also reach a broader range of your audience.

You can make videos, blog posts, microcontent, social media graphics, etc.

Just make sure you’re creating a lot of engaging content consistently that provides value to your audience.

6. Provide Value

Word of mouth marketing is one of the best ways to advertise your business as 92% of consumers trust their friends over traditional media.

There is no easier way to grow your customer base than providing value and then having your customers promote your brand for you.

For example,

Visualize Value – an interesting and powerful social media brand by Jack Butcher.

I just love this brand because it really helps us learn more about life, business, entrepreneurship, and more through simple visuals that simplify quotes or complex concepts.

Now I’m talking about Visualize Value to you guys. Yeah, I’m doing word-of-mouth marketing for VV for free.

That’s how you grow, add value, and let your audience promote your brand for you.

There are more examples out there but I don’t wanna write about them, you can DM me @InuEtc on Instagram to ask anything.

7. Monetize Your Audience

I know a lot about monetization, but I think I don’t know all the ways to monetize a business online. LOL

I think it’s easy to monetize an online business, the hard part is to build an audience and a brand.

When you have a huge loyal audience you’ll get a lot of monetization opportunities.

So don’t think about monetizing your business when you are a complete beginner.

Later you’ll get sponsorships, and brand deals, you can try affiliate marketing, and also you can monetize your audience using AdSense.

You can sell physical and digital products, also you can accept donations from your loyal audience.

Hey, help me continue my journey! BUY ME a Coffee right now!

This is a money-making and growth blueprint for content marketers, bloggers, influencers, podcasters, YouTubers, and more.

How To Become a Digital Nomad and Travel The World (2022)

Nowadays, it’s becoming easier to become a digital nomad and live in a place you love while you work remotely.

More and more people are escaping their 9-5 job. It’s because now it has become easier to follow your passion and pursue a career you love.

Also, people are aware of passive income opportunities, online businesses, and opportunities to work remotely are rising.

According to a recent study, 4.8 Million Americans consider themselves Digital Nomads. 

Pieter Levels, the founder of Nomad List, predicted that there’ll be an estimated 1 billion digital nomads roaming the planet by 2035.

What Exactly Is a Digital Nomad?

Here’s an easy-to-understand definition of a Digital Nomad:

Digital nomads are people who are location independent and travel the world full time while working remotely to earn a living.

They often work in coworking spaces, coffee shops, hotel rooms, or public libraries, relying on devices such as laptops, and smartphones with internet access.

Actually, anybody who can do their job with a laptop, a smartphone, and an internet connection can become a digital nomad.

In this post, I’m going to show you exactly how to become a digital nomad, the ways you can build skills, the best job you can do as a digital nomad, and the best places to visit as a beginner digital nomad, and much more.

Let’s dive right in.

How Do You Become a Digital Nomad?

The way of becoming a digital nomad isn’t the same for everyone. Everyone has different passions, skills, and professions. 

So, there isn’t one specific blueprint for everyone to follow.

But there are some steps you can follow to become a digital nomad if you are just passionate about becoming a digital nomad.

You need some high-paying skills, a remote job or an online business, a little bit of confidence, and a destination with a reliable internet connection.

Let’s break down the steps of becoming a digital nomad.

Learn Required Skills

Google and YouTube and relevant blogs are the best teachers out there.

But it’s not easy for everyone to learn from these free resources because educational resources from those platforms are not organized and straightforward.

So, you can use online courses to learn the required skills.

Here are the best places to educate yourself and build skills:

YouTubeUdemySkillshareCourseraLyndaUdacity

By signing up for one of these resources, you can get access to thousands of online courses that will help you build skills fast.

Udemy and Skillshare are the best places to learn creative skills and the required skills to become a digital nomad, such as graphic design skills, photography skills, marketing skills, web design skills, etc.

If you want to learn to code, you can try FreeCodeCamp or CodeAcademy to get free coding lessons and tutorials.

How Digital Nomads Make Money While Traveling The World?

There are many ways you can make money while traveling the world as a digital nomad.

You can make money doing freelance jobs and remote jobs for companies.

Also, you can build a passive income generating business to make money while traveling or even sleeping too!

Here are three types of jobs and businesses digital nomads do while traveling the world.

1. Start Your Own Business

You can start a blog, podcast, or YouTube channel to document your nomadic life and share your experience.

The best part is,

By doing these, you can build a passive income generating business that makes money while you travel.

Also, you can start other passive income generating businesses to make your digital nomad life easier. Because having passive income streams means true financial freedom.

Check out this post to get some genuine passive income ideas and to learn more about passive income.

17 Genuine Ways to Make Passive Income While You Sleep

2. Freelancing

Freelancing isn’t a passive income-generating business, but it’s one of the best ways to make instant active income as a digital nomad.

In freelancing, you have to sell your services to earn money. If you have a high-paying skill, you can make massive money by doing freelance jobs.

For example,

If you are a graphic designer, you can sell your graphic design services. You can design logos, banners, flyers, illustrations, etc.

The best place to sell your graphic design service is 99Designs. It’s the only design-specific freelance marketplace available on the market.

You can be a freelance writer, photographer, virtual assistant, digital marketer, and the list goes on.

If you’re a beginner, I suggest you start your freelance career on Fiverr because it’s user-friendly and beginner-friendly.

Also, you can use Upwork, Freelancer, Guru.com, Facebook groups, and other social media platforms to get more clients.

Are you a young hustler?

Join our facebook group – ‘Young Hustlers‘

3. Get a Remote Job

The difference between remote jobs and freelance jobs is remote jobs mean you’re a full-time or part-time employee at an organization or a company, while freelance jobs end once the project is over. In both cases, your presence isn’t required at the office.

Remote jobs are better than freelance jobs because sometimes it’s hard to get clients as a freelancer and remote jobs make your digital nomad life more secure.

If you have the required skills and degrees, you can quickly get a remote job and work from anywhere.

You can be a web developer, app developer, growth hacker, marketing specialist, graphic designer, software engineer, and the list goes on.

Some well-known companies offer flexible remote jobs for digital nomads. Some of them are:

AutomatticZapierBufferDoistHubstaffMailerLite

Online job boards such as FlexJobs, RemoteOK, We Work Remotely, and Remote.com are great places to find flexible part-time work or remote jobs. Or, if you’re looking for something more specific, here’s a good site for remote SQL jobs.

Also, the power of networking is huge. LinkedIn is a great place to showcase your experience and skills and network with other professionals.

You can directly approach a company for a remote job. Choose a remote-friendly company, let them know who you are and how the company can benefit from your skills, and ask if they have any positions available.

Reduce Obstacles, Boost Your Confidence, and Get Inspired!

Get rid of debt, save money, build your own business, or get a remote job and reduce other obstacles.

Educate yourself, motivate yourself, and boost your confidence by reading relevant blogs and books. Also, listen to podcasts and watch travel videos.

Nomadic Matt, Digital Nomad Soul, Hobo with a Laptop, Making It Anywhere, and Wandering Earl are some of my favorite digital nomad blogs which you can follow to learn more about the digital nomad lifestyle.

Some digital nomad books I recommend are:

How to Travel the World on $50 a Day by Matt KepnesThe 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Tim FerrisVagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel by Rolf PottsTravel While You Work: The Ultimate Guide to Running a Business from Anywhere by Mish Slade

Also, you should read two of my favorite book, ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad‘ by Robert Kiyosaki and ‘Crushing It‘ by Gary Vaynerchuk, to learn more about income streams, new age business strategies, and achieving financial independence.

You can join digital nomad communities such as Couchsurfing, Nomad List, and Facebook Groups to get support and to meet more digital nomads.

Get International Internet Connection

As digital nomads often work online, a reliable, fast, and secure internet connection is a must for digital nomads. 

Although you will find WIFI in most places today, it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan, like a mobile hotspot. Your smartphone hotspot can help you, but you have to buy a new SIM card whenever you travel internationally.

So, I recommend Skyroam; it is a global hotspot, which means you don’t have to buy a new SIM card everywhere you go. Inuidea readers get an exclusive discount with promo code INUETC.

Choose a Destination and Go!

If you’re a beginner digital nomad and still learning how to become a digital nomad, I suggest you go to a popular as well as beginner-friendly digital nomad destination.

It’s obvious that you want a place with a lower cost of living with a higher quality of life. But more than that, you want to meet other digital nomads to make your digital nomad life easier.

Taipei, Taiwan

So, as a beginner, you have to choose your first destination wisely.

Here are the top 7 locations for digital nomads along with the cost of living.

Koh Lanta, Thailand – Average Cost of Living: $575-$1,620 per month.Prague, Czech Republic – Average Cost of Living: $970-$2,420 per month.Playa del Carmen, Mexico – Average Cost of Living: $900-$1,500 per month.Taipei, Taiwan – Average Cost of Living: $1,400-$2,560 per month.Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain – Average Cost of Living: $1,620-$2,420 per month.Medellin, Colombia – Average Cost of Living: $710-$1,620 per month.Tbilisi, Georgia – Average Cost of Living: $700-$1,550 per month.

Do you know?

Bali is one of the most popular digital nomad destinations to avoid if you’re a beginner digital nomad. Bali was a paradise for digital nomads, but it has become too crowded and too expensive!

As well as Chiang Mai and Berlin become expensive too, and Cape Town becomes unsafe for visitors.

Quick Tips: You can use Nomadlist to find out your next destination. It’s the biggest crowdsourced database of cities in the world, analyzing 1,902,719+ data points to help you choose where to go next.

Accommodation

For free accommodation, check out Couchsurfing, it lets you meet and stay with locals all over the world for free.

Also, exploring Booking.com, Agoda, and Airbnb is a great way to find low-cost accommodation around your destination.

How to Start an Amazon Business Successfully

Amazon is a fantastic place to start a business. But before you begin selling on the world’s biggest eCommerce platform, you must first take the time to learn how the process works. And if you want to succeed, you need to take the proper steps to ensure your business grows and thrives.

Read on for everything you need to know to get started on Amazon.

Deciding How You Want To Sell

Before you open up your Amazon storefront, you must consider your selling options. As with any business venture, be realistic about your time and budget and figure out how you can make the most profit within those limitations.

Choosing the best Amazon selling model is crucial to your future success. Each has its pros and cons, with different levels of capital investment, time commitment, and potential profit margin. 

Consider which model will work best for your situation before making any significant investments in inventory or equipment.

Read more: 31+ Proven Online Business Ideas – Money Making Ideas That Work in 2022

Dropshipping

Dropshipping is the practice of selling products without keeping them in stock. You can store inventory with the manufacturer or a supplier that acts as the middleman that customers order from and interact with.

This is a great way to run an eCommerce business if you’re just starting with little to no capital to invest in inventory, storage, or product development. 

With a bit of research, you can discover the best dropshipping product ideas that will generate tons of revenue. 

Online Arbitrage

With online arbitrage, you can make money by buying products on sale and reselling them at a higher price. It’s all about finding good deals and selling products at a markup price that customers will still find attractive.

The process of online arbitrage can be broken down into three steps:

Find discounted goods listed on other online marketplacesBuy the items at bargain pricesList them on Amazon for more than what you paidPrivate Label

Private label involves buying high-demand products from a supplier at the lowest possible cost and putting your own brand label on them. You can use this method for food, electronics, clothing, kitchenware, and more.

With this model, your success hinges on your ability to make popular products your own and market them as the superior option. 

How To Start a Business on Amazon Easily (Step-by-Step)

Once you’ve chosen the best-selling model for your Amazon business, here are the simple steps you need to take to open your store and start raking in profits:

1. Find a Product

This might seem like an obvious step that does not need to be mentioned, but it is not as simple or as easy as it sounds. You must find products you can sell in large quantities and make profits with. 

There are a few ways to do this. The easiest method is to use AMZScout OA and Dropshipping extension to analyze products for reselling quickly.

Browse products that are already selling well on Amazon, read what people are saying about them, and see how much profit other stores are making. This will give you an idea of what people want, how much money they’re willing to spend on it, and the profit potential if you choose to sell it.

You can also use the same tools to search for new products that aren’t selling yet—creating your own unique niche where no one else has gone before!

2. Open a Seller Account 

Your seller account is your online storefront, where you list all the products you’ve decided to sell. You must decide on a business name, input current business information (address, contact details, credit card or bank account, etc.), and set your store policies.

3. Source the Product

You can source products from other online marketplaces, browse brick-and-mortar stores, or a combination of the two. Identify the best product source that offers the lowest possible price: direct from the manufacturer, another online retailer, or a physical store.

If you’re directly sourcing products from a manufacturer or distributor, make sure they have experience with other Amazon sellers before committing. 

4. Choose Between Amazon FBA or FBM

With Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon), you ship your products to an Amazon warehouse, and they take care of all the logistics on your behalf: shipping, returns, customer complaints, etc. This way, you can focus your time and energy on growing your brand.

If you want more control over how your products are dispatched, how shipping is handled, and what happens when customers return items, Amazon FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant) might be a better option. Note that this requires high levels of organization and coordination at every step of the selling process: sourcing and storing inventory, creating shipping templates, packing orders, and providing top-notch customer service.

5. List and Promote Your Products

Once everything is in place, you can list your products and begin selling and promoting them. You can promote your products and your store on and off Amazon through pay-per-click ads (Amazon marketing services) or the Amazon Advertising Platform (AAP). You can deliver your brand message to millions of potential customers and track advertising metrics so you can recalibrate your advertising efforts accordingly. 

You can also leverage other digital marketing strategies, such as social media advertising or influencer marketing. You can reach a wide audience, build your online credibility, and lead thousands of customers to your storefront.

Final Thoughts: How to Start an Amazon Business Successfully

Starting an Amazon business is a great way to turn your passion into a full-time career and generate consistent profits for long-term success. But before you get started, you must have the right mindset and choose the best approach that will work for you. Fortunately, Amazon offers various business models that work for all types of sellers.

If you’re looking for a new way to make money or start your journey to financial freedom, consider trying Amazon selling. We hope this guide has helped you understand how to start an Amazon business successfully.

11 Ways to Find Blog Content Ideas [Very Easy] in 2022

Every one of us wants to continue writing blogs on our website but one day or another, or even every time, we fall short of topics on what to write about.

(Don’t lie, you also get short of it. Don’t you?)

Well, after reading this post, you won’t get short of topics, unless you are procrastinating. Sorry, it was a reality check and some humor.

So, here I’m to tell you 11 ways to find blog content ideas and use your knowledge in the right direction and at the right time to write high-quality blog posts to ensure that you get great traffic on your blog.

Let’s dive right in.

1. Amazon

Don’t get shocked reading the heading as “Amazon” because yes, Amazon serves the treasure to find proven blog content ideas.

No, don’t worry, I am not asking you to purchase a heavy bunch of books at once spending your hard-earned money.

If you are an avid reader, buying e-books and extracting the content from there is the best but if you want to write your knowledge out, you just have to follow three easy (easiest) steps:

Step 1: Go to the Amazon shopping app or Kindle store and search the keyword for the niche you are writing about. May it be SEO, Content writing, Blogging, and whatsoever.Step 2: Check the most popular books that came with the search. By most popular, I suggest you check the author’s name, book’s rating, comments, and such things.Step 3: Jump to the table of contents section of the book. I must say, the content section is the goldmine for the ideas for blogging. Just by seeing the contents of some of the books, you already have enough ideas to write a money-making blog post on a proven topic.

This is one of the easiest and free (that most of us want) way to find the ideas for your blog.

Pro Tip: Amazon only shows the books which are currently popular and thus this will lead the traffic on your site as you would write on the current and in-demand topic.

Okay, thank me later. First, go to Amazon.

Quora Search Results

2. Quora

You and I both know that Quora is a question and answer platform.

And, now you would be confused about how it will help you find the content ideas.

Well, what am I here for?

I’ll tell you.

See, we find ideas only when we think people have questions. On our blog, we basically give answers to the questions of millions of people.

So, before finding the content ideas, we need to find questions. Quora is here to help you with this. Isn’t it so wonderful that there are already questions that people want answers for?

I know, you might haven’t thought that way. 

Now, let me tell you what you need to do to find content ideas through “Quora”

Search the seed keyword for which you want to write. (Same as amazon. I must say this is the basic thing.)Now, with searching the keyword, there are already innumerable questions on your screen. This will make you realize what people actually need and what you can provide.Now, analyze the questions as well as the answers. This will automatically fill your mind with a bunch of blog content ideas to write high-quality blog posts for your blog.

So, this is how it works. Try it. You won’t resist coming back and thanking me. And I’ll take it.

3. Reddit

Reddit is the treasure which is I guess yet to be explored by you because if you must have explored it, you would have never been short of topics.

So, what do you need to do?

Of course, you’ll need to do something!

Go to the Reddit website or the app.Search for the keyword, you want to write about.

And, and, and….

You’ll be amazed to see the screen in front of you. Yes, it’ll be just innumerable questions and topics in front of you that you would be thinking how can I miss these things out of my mind.

This is the treasure indeed, and now just go and take your share out of the treasure.

4. YouTube Videos

Now, here’s another way from my pool of knowledge – YouTube videos.

Of course, you don’t need to watch trending songs and stuff like that.

You just have to go to YouTube and search for what the niche you are writing is watching there.Then, watch the videos that are getting more views as compared to others and see what are the topics you haven’t covered in your blog before.

Now, Indeed, the videos that are going to appear when you’ll search for something, will be what is most popular and engaging at that particular time and is going to bring a lot of traffic on your website.

YouTube is the source of so many ideas that you’ll never fall short of the content ideas for your blog.

5. Keyword Researching

Well, this way is what is related to the Google search engine. This is like going deep into the cave and taking out the diamonds that are needed.

Yeah, when you go into the cave of Google search engine and research about the keywords that you are writing about, you’ll find a lot of ideas from there.

This is one of the most effective methods of finding content ideas because this is where everyone goes in the first place when they need something. 

Here, you’ll find what your readers want to read and you’ll be able to write on those very topics.

6. Pinterest

I love Pinterest because it helps me a lot to grow my blog, network, and business. By using Pinterest I drive massive traffic to my blog and I get tons of content ideas, business ideas, and new business strategies from Pinterest. – Inu Etc

Pinterest is really useful in growing your blog as most of the people remain active there. You must have known this already if you are a blogger that knows how much traffic one can drive to their blog from Pinterest alone.

So, just head up there fast and search for what you need to write about. No matter, if your blog is about Lifestyle or Digital Marketing, Writing, or Anything else. You’ll find the related topics there.

Don’t make any delays, just head up there, now.

7. Related Blogs

It is rightly said that a good writer must be a good reader, and if you are a good reader, you’ll find this option so easy and beneficial. 

So, just invest your good time reading the blogs of other bloggers who are writing for the same niche as you.

But, then how will it be beneficial?

For this, you need to know what else you need to do while reading?

You need to keep your eyes and mind open to analyze what is missing in their blog.You’ll get to know what is actually there that needs to be written in your blog post.

This will fill your mind about what and how a particular topic can be written and elaborated in your own blog posts. 

It was one of the blogging tips from my own pool of knowledge. So, use it carefully, okay.

And, don’t worry, you can thank me later, as I already said!

8. Udemy – Online Courses Site to Find Proven Blog Content Ideas

You must have heard about the website Udemy.

If not, let me tell you. This is an online course site where those people land who want to learn something.

And, this is the same as what you provide. Isn’t it?

Well, if yes, then cheers.

Here’s another way to get the blog content ideas for your blog.

So, just go to the Online Course Sites and search what courses are providing and as they provide for the money, people search often for free options, which will be served by your blog.

Then, what do you need to do?

So, just jump to the website and look at the details as to what the courses provide, and instantly you’ll find a bunch of proven topics to write about on your website.

So, just head up there right now!

Feedback and Comment Section of Your Blog

9. Feedback and Comment Section of Your Blog

Feedback and comment sections of your blog or your competitor’s blogs are the great resources to find out what people need.

Isn’t it so good that you don’t have to ask for what people need and there’s already the place where people have said what they require?

So, just go to the feedback you’ve received earlier, and comment sections of your blog or check out related videos and blogs and analyze it properly and I’m pretty sure you’ll find hundreds of blog content ideas to write helpful and engaging blog posts for your readers.

10. Answer The Public

Answer the Public is a website that has raw search insights. This is one of the easiest ways in which you can get a pool of questions as to what people are searching for.

This tool provides what customers are thinking about.

All you have to do is just go to the website and search for the keyword or any word you want to write about and within a few seconds, the innumerable questions will appear on your screen.

I must say, the screen that will appear will leave you in thoughts as to why you didn’t think of these topics.

So, what are you waiting for?

Just head up there right now!

Write Related Posts

11. Write Related Posts

Now, what does this mean?

Let me explain to you what you need to do.

Whenever you get short of the topics, just go to your archives and see what people want from the previous posts that you haven’t provided. You may be shocked but people really wait for the answers and confusion they have regarding something. 

So, just head up to your archives, and also reading the previous blogs will make you know what is missing and what can be written next.

17 Genuine Ways to Make Passive Income While You Sleep

Do you want to escape your 9-5 job?

Maybe you want to achieve financial freedom!

Having passive income streams means true financial freedom.

If you generate passive income, you can enjoy more freedom; you can make money while you sleep or while you travel.

That’s great, but it takes time, lots of effort, some sleepless nights, and sometimes money to build a profitable online business that makes passive income.

But don’t worry,

If you are passionate about your work, you can easily achieve your goals.

You just have to work your ass off in the starting days, and after that, you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain your passive income generating business.

What is Passive Income?

Passive income is where you earn over and over again for work that you did once.

The difference between active income and passive income is that in passive income, we don’t trade time for money; instead, we invest our time (or money) upfront.

17 Genuine Passive Income Ideas to Make Money While You Sleep

“If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die” – Warren Buffett (Click To Tweet)

Today, I’m going to share 17 genuine passive income ideas that you can implement in 2022 to make money while you sleep.

Let’s dive right in.

1. Start a Blog

You can make passive income from blogging, but it requires a lot of hard work in the setup phase.

You have to invest some money and 3 to 6 months to set up your blog before you monetize your blog.

To generate passive income from your blog, you can use affiliate marketing, or you can make money by adding ads to your blog.

Now blogging is a competitive business. So, you have to choose a less competitive niche that you have some knowledge of, and you know how to write quality content to attract your target audience.

As a beginner blogger, it’s hard to drive targeted traffic to your baby blog, and we all know that more targeted traffic = more money!

The best part is,

You can use Pinterest to drive massive targeted traffic to your blog while optimizing your content for Google and other search engines.

2. Write and Sell an E-book

Writing a best-selling E-book requires some knowledge and a bit of time investment up front, but it can be a great source of passive income month after month.

If you want to prove your authority while making some passive income, writing an E-book is the best option to do that.

With Amazon, you can self-publish your E-books or paperbacks easily. Just follow Amazon’s book writing guide and start writing your first book.

Make sure you pick a profitable niche, and don’t forget to promote your eBook through social media platforms, influencers, and bloggers in that niche.

If you can sell a few hundred copies the first week of launching your book, Amazon will take over and start promoting it for you. This way, you can make some real passive income from it.

3. Start a Podcast

Podcasts attract wealthier and educated people more. Also, 32% (Approx 90 Million people) American people listen to podcasts monthly.

So, Podcast is a huge opportunity to build a target audience, market your business, and share your knowledge while making some real money and passive income.

The best part is,

Now you can start a podcast for free.

Once your podcast gets some loyal and targeted listeners, you can make money using sponsorship, selling your services, or you can make passive income selling your digital products and affiliate products.

This post contains affiliate links (I don’t recommend anything that I don’t believe in), meaning at no extra cost to you, I might receive a small commission for purchases made through these links.

4. Make Passive Income with Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing can be a great way to make money from home. All you need is a computer and a loyal audience.

In affiliate marketing, you have to promote someone else’s products to earn a commission.

Source – BigCommerce

To get affiliate products, you can join affiliate programs like ShareASale, CJ, etc. Also, like Amazon, every e-commerce website has its own affiliate program. You can join them too.

You can build your target audience using a blog, a podcast, or a YouTube channel. Also, you should focus on building an email list. After that, you can use these platforms and your email list to promote affiliate products.

To earn more passive income from affiliate marketing, always promote products that are valuable and helpful to your audience.

5. Start a Dropshipping Store

The benefit of the Dropshipping business is you don’t have to worry about product manufacturing, stocking, and shipping.

All you need to do is to choose a profitable niche and set up a Dropshipping eCommerce store.

AliExpress is a marketplace where you can find out Dropshipping products.

You can use Amazon, eBay, etc. to sell products. But I suggest you create your own website using Shopify. Because it gives you complete control over branding and design that helps you attract your potential buyers.

Also, Instead of Dropshipping, you can sell your own downloadable digital products to generate passive income without working regularly.

6. Sell WordPress Themes and Plugins

A lot of people use premade WordPress themes and useful plugins to design and manage their WordPress blog or website.

If you’re a WordPress developer, you can design WordPress themes or plugins; otherwise, you can hire a professional designer or a developer to design a good looking theme or a helpful plugin.

You can sell your WordPress products on your own website, or you can use WordPress marketplace like Themeforest.

If you can design responsive, multipurpose, and professional WordPress themes like Avada or Soledad, you can easily make passive income selling your themes.

7. Start a YouTube Channel

Video marketing is the future of content marketing. Now video content gets more eyeballs than other content. So, I think it’s the best time to produce video content to market your business online.

The best part is,

By creating videos, you can build an engaged audience and easily monetize them to make a huge amount of passive income regularly.

So, if you love creating videos, if you want to share your knowledge and if you want to earn real passive income, you should definitely start a YouTube channel right now.

8. Create Online Courses

An online course is a passive and independent income source for niche experts and teachers.

People love online courses because online courses are organized, straightforward, and actionable.

So, if you are an expert, you can share your knowledge by creating online courses.

The course can include videos, e-books, and emails with valuable information. When a customer purchases the course, they receive emails with everything they need to access the course.

You can host your online course on your WordPress blog using LearnDash, or you can use Teachable to host and sell your online course.

Also, you can use Udemy or Skillshare to host and sell your online course with their existing audience.

9. Invest in Real Estate

Investment is the only form of passive income that doesn’t require much day-to-day effort, and real estate investment can be a great way to make passive income while you sleep.

Fundrise is one of the best crowdfunding real estate investing platforms on the market. With only $500, you can get started and invest in real estate products through eREITs.

Also, you can invest in the stock market or a struggling business and become a silent partner to earn more passive income.

10. Create a SaaS

Canva, Slack, Google Apps, Shopify, and Dropbox are the well known SaaS companies and products.

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a software distribution model in which software is accessed online via a subscription, rather than bought and installed on computers.

If you have an idea of creating a SaaS product, and you don’t know how to design a SaaS product, hire a designer, Invest some money, and convert your idea into reality.

11. Buy a blog

You can buy an existing blog that is already making passive income.

Some people sell their blog because they’re tired of doing it, it’s not making enough money, or they have no time to write content and maintain it.

You can buy an existing blog from Flippa, or you can personally approach a blog owner and ask whether he is willing to sell.

To find a blog worth buying, take a look at some criteria, such as the age of the blog, the number of traffic it’s getting, and the amount of money the blog is making.

The blog should be monetized, SEO optimized, and get at least 10,000 visits a month.

12.License and Sell Your Photos

If you enjoy snapping pictures of the world around you and you know that you’re an excellent photographer, then you can license and sell your photos online to earn passive income.

Most websites pay you based on the number of downloads. Once the photos are uploaded, you will be earning passive income every time someone purchases them.

Here are the best websites to sell your photos online:

You can easily buy a successful online business from websites such as BizBuySell. It has hundreds of online business listings that are for sale.

Always consider buying an online business that you’re passionate about, and you have some experience with the industry.

For some online business, to make passive income, you’ll need to hire someone to manage the business.

14. Peer-to-Peer Lending

Peer-to-peer lending, also known as P2P lending, is the system of lending money to individuals or businesses who don’t qualify for traditional financing.

Companies like LendingClub, Prosper, and Upstart offer returns in the range of 4-7%, which are passive income and great alternatives to saving accounts.

15. Develop Smartphone Application

Smartphone users are using countless apps every day for entertainment purposes and to make their daily lives more comfortable.

The app market is huge. It’s growing more than ever before, and that’s why apps like TikTok gets a vast engaged audience.

If you have required coding skills, you can easily create a viral app using your skills and creativity.

If you have a valid idea, but you don’t know how to develop an app, you can hire an app developer from Fiverr or other freelance marketplace to help you design your app.

You can distribute your app to your target audience using the Google Play Store and the iPhone App Store.

To generate passive income, you can monetize your app using ads, sponsorship, and in-app purchases.

16. Rent Out a Room

Do you have an extra room in your house that you rarely use?

You can rent it out to travelers looking for a short-term rental on Airbnb. Millions of people, frequent travelers, and digital nomads prefer Airbnb to find a place to stay instead of staying at a hotel.

No matter what kind of room you have to share, Airbnb makes it simple and secure to host travelers.

So, if you live in a desirable place, a big city, or a vacation spot, you can rent out a room on Airbnb and make passive from home.

17. Sell an Audiobook

Recording an audiobook is more complicated than writing an eBook because it requires good speaking skills and some specialized equipment to record a professional audiobook.

You can use AudioBook Creation Exchange to distribute and sell your audiobook on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

5 Quick and Easy Email Marketing Segmentation Tips

It is no secret that email segmentation plays a critical role in improving the outcome of any email marketing campaign.

In fact, the ability to segment and target specific audiences with content tailored to their needs is one of the most powerful tools available to marketers today.

Let’s back that up with some hard data:

Recent stats show that segmented email campaigns deliver a 30% increase in opens and up to 50% increase in click-throughs compared to untargeted email campaigns.

Moreover, marketers who use email segmentation have been known to report a whopping 760% growth in revenue!

We could throw more stats your way to make a case for segmented emails, but you get the point.

So, how do you actually go about it? What are the best list segmentation techniques?

Well, we’ve got you covered. 

By the end of this guide, you should have a better understanding of how to approach list segmentation and how to improve your results.

Let’s dive right in.

What is Email Segmentation? 

Email segmentation is the process of dividing an email list into different groups based on certain criteria. 

It allows marketers to send personalized messages to their subscribers based on their interests and preferences.

The idea is to deliver content that is relevant to each individual subscriber, thus increasing the chances of them engaging with your brand.

Top 5 Email List Segmentation Practices 

There are many different ways to segment your email lists, but here are five common practices you can use to get started:

Demographics 

Demographic segmentation is the practice of dividing your email list into different categories based on demographic data such as age, gender, geolocation, income, etc.

Depending on your target audience – and the type of company you’re running – demographics can be very helpful in determining which products or services you should offer to your subscribers.

For example, if you’re selling home decor items, then you might want to focus on women between the ages of 35 and 45.

If you are a local online retailer, you might want to focus on subscribers living within a certain radius of your business.

On the whole, you’ll find that the more granular you get with your demographic segmentation, the more effective your emails will be.

The best way to acquire such information is via website forms or opt-in pages.

Purchase History

Purchase history segmentation is a great way to identify potential cross-selling and up-selling opportunities.

By analyzing data from your email marketing software (like Mailvio or Aweber) or from Google Analytics, you can identify people who have previously purchased a certain product or service and then send them targeted emails to encourage them to buy more.

For example, if a subscriber recently purchased a handbag from your online store, you could offer them a discount on a matching pair of shoes or a new watch.

This is a great way to turn subscribers into loyal customers and generate repeat sales.

Email Engagement 

Keeping track of your open and clickthrough rates through your email marketing service is another sure-fire way to improve the success of your future campaigns. 

These metrics will allow you to pinpoint your active as well as inactive subscribers.

You can then create separate email campaigns for these two groups aimed at further engaging the former (informing them about an upcoming sale) and re-engaging the latter (offering a discount or other incentive).

Website Engagement

Subscriber behaviors on your website can be a very strong indicator of your visitors’ purchase intent.

For instance, if a visitor clicked on a product page multiple times over a couple of weeks, it is highly likely that they are interested in purchasing that item.

By analyzing your website traffic data, you can identify people who are more likely to convert into paying customers and then send them targeted emails.

Cart Abandonment 

Segmenting by cart abandonment is another great way to increase your conversion rate.

By sending targeted emails to those who have left items in their shopping carts but have not yet made a purchase, you can encourage them to complete their purchases.

You can create an automated email sequence that reminds them of their unfinished shopping tasks, such as “Did you forget to add a gift card to your cart?”

Conclusion

Email segmentation in email marketing is a powerful tool that can help you better understand your audience and improve your overall conversion rate.

Regardless of the size of your business, there’s a segmentation strategy that will work for you.

You can start out by using a free email platform like Microsoft Outlook or Gmail and then gradually move to a powerful paid solution like Mailvio once you’ve learned the ropes.

Have you used segmentation to improve your email marketing efforts?
