How to Get Google Adsense Approval Fast With a New Blog
As a beginner blogger, If you want to convert your blog into a money making blog, then Google Adsense is the #1 ad network you can use to monetize your blog.
Every new blogger wants to monetize their blogs with Adsense, and many of them fail because of the strict Google Adsense policies.
The good news is,
If you follow some basic rules and maintain your blog like a real business from the starting of your blog, you’ll definitely get Google Adsense approval with your new blog.
In this post, I’m going to show you some Google Adsense approval tricks and the 7 essential things you must do before applying for Google Adsense.
Let’s dive right in!
Related Post: The Ultimate Guide on How to Start a Money Making Blog
How Much Traffic is Required for AdSense Approval?
There is no actual traffic minimum to apply to AdSense. The number of visitors is not a factor of Google Adsense approval. Like other ad networks, they don’t have minimum traffic thresholds you need to meet.
Even though Google says, the number of traffic isn’t a Google Adsense approval factor, according to my personal experiment, I think traffic matters.
After all, if you don’t have a decent amount of traffic, you’re not going to make much money from your blog.
So, if you’re a beginner blogger I suggest you use Pinterest to get targeted traffic to your blog and work on SEO to get free organic traffic from Google.
Things You Must Do Before Applying for Google AdSense
1. Write High-Quality Content
Don’t fill your blog with plagiarized articles. Write some unique, valuable, engaging, and high-quality content for your targeted audience.
Write in-depth and well-optimized blog posts with above 500-600 words.
Also, Adsense will not approve your application if you write Adsense prohibited content.
So, make sure your blog has some high-quality content before you apply for Google Adsense.
2. Make Your Blog Posts SEO Friendly
You should optimize your high-quality blog content with the Meta title and description tag.
Google Adsense may use their crawler bots to check your complete site because it’s not possible for the Adsense team to visit and review hundreds of websites that have applied for Adsense approval.
If you are using WordPress, install the free Yoast SEO plugin to optimize your blog content for search engines easily.
These simple tactics can help you rank higher on Google too.

3. Write Sufficient Blog Posts
I get Google Adsense approval for Inuidea with only seven high quality and in-depth blog posts.
So the number doesn’t matter; what matters is the quality of the content.
But try to write up to 15 blog posts before you apply for Google Adsense and make sure your blog has sufficient content on every single web page.
4. Create Must-Have Pages
There are some pages which your blog must have before you apply for Google Adsense.
Such as about page, privacy policy page, and contact page
A privacy policy is required by law if you collect personal information from users, and it’s necessary if you are going to use Google Adsense ads on your blog.
If you have a business similar to my business, just copy and modify my privacy policy page according to your needs. You can copy and use someone else’s privacy policy and it doesn’t hurt your blog SEO health or reputation.
After all, there are millions of privacy policy pages and they are almost the same.
5. Make Sure You’re 18+
Adsense Terms and Conditions clearly notify that they only accept applications from applicants who are over 18.
If you’re under 18, you can ask your parents or guardian and sign up for Adsense using their information.
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.
6. Ensure You Don’t Use Copyrighted Images
Adsense doesn’t approve blogs if they noticed copyrighted contents.
Maybe you’re using copyrighted images without taking permission from the owner. Keep in mind that it’s illegal and harmful to your business.
So, make sure you’re using images by taking permissions, or you’re using copyright free images on your blog.
7. Design a User-Friendly and Professional Looking Blog
You should design a user-friendly site with a clear navigation menu to help your visitors find important pages.
Also, make sure your blog is professionally designed and responsive to improve user experience.
If you’re using WordPress, you can easily design a professional-looking blog using a WordPress theme.
For Inuidea, I’m using Avada, an easy to customize WordPress theme available on Envato Market.

Applying for Google Adsense
After maintaining a blog by following all the tips mentioned above, you can apply for Google Adsense and quickly get Adsense approval for your new blog.
To apply for Adsense, go to the sign up page for Google Adsense and apply by entering your website details, contact information, etc.
When applying for Google Adsense, keep in mind that you are using your real name, an actual address, and a correct payee name.

Google Adsense Approval Process
Once you have signed up for Google Adsense, you need to add Adsense codes to your blog. Ads will show as blank until the final approval process doesn’t finish. It may take up to 1 or 2 weeks for the final review and approval.
After the final Adsense approval, you will get a confirmation email saying that ‘The site “yoursitename.com” is now ready to show Adsense ads.’
Yes, now you can add more ads on your site. Within a few hours, you’ll begin to see relevant ads and can start earning money from your Adsense approved blog or website.
Once your earning reaches $10, Adsense will mail you an address verification PIN to address. Login to your Adsense account and enter the PIN.
Congratulations,
You have completed all the steps of Google Adsense approval process. Once your earning reaches $100, Google will send you or wire transfer your earnings on your bank account.
Now It’s Your Turn.
Hey hustlers,
I really hope you enjoyed this Google Adsense approval guide.
If you follow all the above-mentioned tips, Google Adsense approval tricks, and apply for Adsense, I’m pretty sure that Google will approve your Adsense account.
Do you have any questions regarding Google Adsense approval?

Pinterest will display a popup with two methods that you can use to claim your website. (add HTML tag or Upload HTML file)
Choose the HTML tag option because it’s easier. Just copy the HTML tag and go to your WordPress dashboards.

On the Facebook tab, make sure that open graph settings are enabled.
Next, go to the Pinterest tab, in the Pinterest confirmation field, past the HTML tag that you copied previously, and click on the save changes button.

Article Pins helps users know more about the pin by showing the article headline, author name, description, ‘read it’ button, published date, and site name.

9 Proven Ways to Monetize Your Blog – Make Money Blogging in 2020
Are you looking for some proven blog monetization method to monetize your blog to convert your baby blog into a money making blog?
Today I’m going to show you some of the most profitable ways to monetize your blog to maximize your income.
In fact,
I’m using some of these monetization methods to monetize my blog and slowly I’m implementing other methods too.
Check out these monetization methods, implement them and make money blogging in 2020.
Let’s dive right in.
1. Blog Advertisements
This is the most easiest and popular monetization methods available on the blogosphere.
As a beginner blogger, Google AdSense is the #1 ad network you can use to monetize your blog.
Related Post: How to Get Google Adsense Approval Fast With a New Blog
To generate more revenue using Google Adsense, once you reach 25K sessions, apply to Mediavine.
If you cross 100K pageviews, you can directly apply to AdThrive.
Looking for a Google AdSense alternative?
Try Media.net. They are reputable, they also have a large number of advertisers, and their payouts are good too.
Google AdSense is easy to set up, but the amount of money you can earn from AdSense is limited. So, directly selling banner ad space can be more profitable.
It takes more work to manage directly selling ads than Google AdSense. You’ll have to negotiate the pricing, come up with an agreement and take care of invoicing.
However, using a WordPress ad management plugin such as Ad Inserter can make the process easier.
I recommend you use AdSanity, it allows you to manage Google AdSense as well as your own banner ads.
Many bloggers hate blog advertisements because it can make your site slow and ugly. It also distracts your visitors and affect your site design.
However, there are many profitable ways to monetize your blog without AdSense and blog advertisements that don’t affect your site design and don’t distract your visitors.
Keep reading to learn more about these blog monetization methods.
2. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a proven way to make passive income by monetizing your blog’s loyal audience.
I’m a big fan of affiliate marketing and I often write about the power of affiliate marketing on my blog.
If you’re a beginner blogger, instead of waiting for Google AdSense approval, you should try affiliate marketing to monetize your blog from day one. After all, it’s one of the best ways to monetize your blog without AdSense.
Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s and companies products. You earn a commission for each sale that you make through your unique affiliate links.
Source – BigCommerce
To make money from affiliate marketing, all you need is a loyal and a target audience.
Write high-quality content, use affiliate links, drive targeted traffic, build a loyal audience and see the magic.

Check out my in-depth affiliate marketing guide to learn more about affiliate marketing as well as get to know about the top 29 affiliate programs you can join to maximize your revenue.
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.
3. Email Marketing
The money is on the list!
The line is so true!
Email marketing is vital if you want to start a money making blog in 2020.
One of the most powerful methods for making money from your blog and building a strong bond with your readers is directly through email marketing.
By using your engaging email list you can market your blog posts and market your own products and services along with affiliate offers directly through email.
Top bloggers use an email list to market their blog, to monetize their blog and to grow their online business.
I’m using Mailerlite, a beginner-friendly email marketing and automation tool that lets you create beautiful and professional email forms that fit with your branding.
Mailerlite free plan lets you have up to 1000 subscribers. It’s a great alternative to MailChimp because of its easy to customize features.
1000 targeted subscribers is enough to market and monetize your blog as a beginner blogger.
After that, you can go with their premium plan that offers more features, or you can use other email marketing services such as Convertkit, Aweber, etc.

4. Sponsored Blog Posts and Reviews
As you grow your blog and your brand, you can collaborate with individuals, brands, and companies. They can contact you to write a sponsored post or a review post for their products.
Also, you can directly contact the individuals and companies you want to collaborate with. Tell them how you can help grow their business using your reach.
It becomes easier to get sponsorship when you are working on a specific niche and if you have a target and engaging audience.
5. Sell Digital Products
You can effectively sell any type of digital product on your blog as long as it’s valuable to your readers and relevant to your content.
Digital products can be a combination of videos, eCourses, eBooks, downloadable guides, resources, PDFs, images, audio files, software components, SaaS and others.
How SendOwl Works – Source – SendOwl
You can use SendOwl to sell digital products on your blog. They let you set up your own shop on your blog and an affiliate program for your shop. The best part is that SendOwl makes the checkout process really fast, secure and easy.
6. Sell Your Services
It’s one of the best ways to make some active income as a freelancer. If you have an in-demand professional skill you can make huge money by selling your services online.
As it’s not passive income, it requires a lot of time and effort to make money by selling your services.
By using the internet you can make money doing almost anything from anywhere in the world.
The Internet is full of opportunities and freelance jobs are waiting for you. All you need is a skill. If you already have an in-demand skill, that’s great!
But in case you want to learn new skills, you can use resources such as blog posts, YouTube videos, and other resources to learn a new skill for free.
If you want a straightforward and organized course, you can use Udemy or Skillshare to get premium courses to learn a new skill without any hassle.
As a blogger, you can use your blog to promote your services to gain clients.
On your blog, you can show off your writing skills, design skills or you can write about your other skills on your blog posts.
This way you’re using your blog as your portfolio and you’re continuously marketing your skills as a freelancer.
If you love to write, you can become a freelance writer and offer your writing services to blogs and companies who want high-quality articles.
Apart from selling your writing services, you can offer your services as a:
Graphic Designer
Virtual Assistant
Digital Marketer
Photographer
Illustrator
Web Developer
Owner of any in-demand skill.
As a beginner blogger, it can be hard to get clients using your blog. So, start working with clients on Fiverr, 99designs (as a designer), and other freelancing sites.
7. Create and Sell Online Courses
It’s probably one of the best ways to make money blogging.
People love online courses because online courses are organized, straightforward, and actionable.
An online course is a passive income source for niche experts and teachers.
So, if you are a niche expert and If you have a skill that you want to teach your audience, you can share your knowledge by creating online courses.
You can host your online course on your WordPress blog using LearnDash, or you can use Teachable to host and sell your online courses.
Also, you can use Udemy or Skillshare to host and sell your online course with their existing audience.
8. Sell eBooks
Writing a best-selling eBook requires some knowledge and a bit of time investment upfront, but it can be a great source of passive income that works month after month.
The earning opportunity is huge.
For example,
Taylor Pearson sold over 5,000 copies of his book ‘The End of Jobs‘ in four weeks and in 2015 had made over $60k from just that book.
‘The End of Jobs’ – Image Source – Amazon
With Amazon, it’s pretty easy to self publish your eBook and make money from it. Just follow Amazon’s book writing guide and start writing your first book.
If you don’t have the required time or skill to write an eBook by yourself you can easily hire a ghostwriter from Fiverr to do it for you.

You can also design your book cover yourself using Canva and Snappa or you can hire a professional designer from 99design or Fiverr to do it for you.
Before you begin writing, make sure you validate your idea and pick a profitable niche.
Also, don’t forget to promote your book through social media platforms, bloggers and influencers in that niche.
If you can sell a few hundred copies the first week of launching your book, Amazon will take over your eBook and start promoting it for you.
By the way,
If you want to sell your eBook on your blog, you can use SendOwl to create a shop on your blog. They also allow you to set up your own affiliate program. The best part is that SendOwl makes the checkout process really fast, secure and easy.

How To Become a Digital Nomad and Travel The World (2020)
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, predict that there’ll be an estimated 1 billion digital nomads roaming the planet by 2035.
What Exactly Is a Digital Nomad?
Here’s the easy to understand definition of 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 on coworking spaces, coffee shops, hotel rooms, or public libraries, relying on devices such as laptops, 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, 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.
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.
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:
Udemy
Skillshare
Coursera
Lynda
Udacity
By signing up to 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 place 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 coding, you can try FreeCodeCamp or CodeAcademy to get free coding lessons and tutorials.
How Digital Nomads Makes 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 a YouTube channel to document your nomadic life and to 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.
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 a massive amount of 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 and Guru.com, Facebook groups, and other social media platforms to get more clients.

Join our facebook group – ‘Young Hustlers‘
3. Get a Remote Job
The difference between remote jobs and freelance jobs is remote jobs means you’re a full time or part-time employee at an organization or a company, while freelance jobs ends 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 makes 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, a software engineer, and the list goes on.
Some well-known companies offer flexible remote jobs for digital nomads. Some of them are:
Automattic
Zapier
Buffer
Doist
Hubstaff
MailerLite
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.
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, 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 Kepnes
The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Tim Ferris
Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel by Rolf Potts
Travel 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 to achieve 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 a Travel Insurance
International health insurance and travel insurance is a must for digital nomads.
SafetyWing and World Nomads cover both health and travel insurance and are the most reliable and affordable travel health insurance for digital nomads available on the market.
Both World Nomads and SafetyWing do a great job of providing quality travel health insurance.
The big difference here is that SafetyWing doesn’t cover lost or stolen electronics while World Nomads covers loss of electronics, such as professional camera equipment, laptop, and other equipment, within certain limits.
Also, SafetyWing is cheaper than World Nomads. So, it’s up to you, and you can choose any of this insurance according to your requirements.
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’s the top 7 location 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.

Grammarly Review 2020: Boost Your Confidence & Enhance Your Writing
You want your writing free of embarrassing grammatical errors and mistakes, right?
Grammarly is an online grammar checker and proofreading tool that automatically detects grammatical mistakes and help you avoid typos, grammatical errors, and improve the quality of your writing.
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.
As I’m not a native English speaker, Grammarly helps me to feel confident when I write in-depth content for my blog or when I write emails and social media posts.
No matter if you are a native, or a non-native English speaker, a blogger or a professional writer, we all make mistakes!
So, Grammarly is the tool you should use to write error-free content, and If you’re not confident enough to publish your blog posts, you should definitely use Grammarly to boost your confidence.
Grammarly Features: What Does Grammarly Do?
Grammarly is an easy to use proofreading tool that improves your writing by checking for several errors.
It detects spelling errors, critical grammatical mistakes, and punctuation errors and tell you what needs to be changed and why.
Grammarly also detects plagiarism by comparing your writing to millions of articles across the web. It helps you avoid plagiarism as Google, and we all hate plagiarized content.
It will also help you enhance your writing style by providing real-time insights about your readability score, sentence lengths, and it detects overuse of words, suggests relevant words, and much more.

Who is Grammarly Useful For?
Grammarly is a popular online grammar checker tool useful for both native English speakers and non-native, who don’t write in the English language often and those who want their writing to be mistake-free including:
Bloggers
Content marketers
Authors
Copywriters
Students
Proofreaders
Non-Native Speakers
Journalists
Business professionals or anyone who wants to write perfect email, social media post, presentation, or thesis, and report.
For new bloggers, writers, and non-native English speakers, Grammarly acts as a confidence booster as it removes all spelling mistakes and critical grammatical errors.
Grammarly also lets you select between American English, Canadian English, British English, and Australian English, and you can use any of these dialects in your writing.
How Does Grammarly Work?
Once you create a Grammarly account for free, you’re ready to use it to improve your writing.
I love writing articles on Google Docs. After the recent Grammarly updates, now it’s compatible with Google Docs and it suggests corrections and suggestions as you’re writing the article.
To detect errors on Google Docs, you need to install the ‘Grammarly for Chrome‘ extension. Once you’re writing, It will flag any errors in red and underline incorrect words or grammar and show you what to replace it with and why if you simply hover over it.
But if you want more features, you need to use the Grammarly web app or desktop app, which is available for both Windows and Mac.
You can set writing goals based on your intent, audience, writing style, etc.
After that, you just have to copy and paste your entire article or writing into Grammarly for proofreading, spell checking, and grammar checking.
Grammarly also offers an add-in for MS Office, and a Keyboard app for Android and iOS, that you can use on your mobile device.
Whenever you type with the keyboard, Grammarly will check your writing for spelling mistakes and some grammatical errors.
For Grammarly premium users, the keyboard app also detects critical grammatical mistakes and suggests vocabulary enhancement and writing style improvement.
How Much Does Grammarly Cost?
Here are the pricing of each Grammarly plan as of 2019:
Grammarly Free – The free subscription is the best option for new bloggers and anyone who doesn’t have a budget and would like to test Grammarly before spending money.
Grammarly Premium Monthly – Subscription costs $29.95 per month.
Grammarly Premium Quarterly – Subscription costs $19.98 per month, billed as one payment of $59.94.
Grammarly Premium Annual – Subscription costs $11.66 per month, billed as one payment of $139.92.
It’s the best deal out of these three premium options. If you want to go with premium, go with the annual plan as its the most cost-effective plan.
Grammarly Business – Subscription costs $15 per member per month. If you have a team and you want Grammarly premium features, the business plan is your go-to subscription plan.
It comes with features like priority 24/7 email support, monitoring tools, centralized billing, admin and user management controls for privacy and security of your team’s work.
Grammarly Education – If you have an educational institution and you’re interested in giving your institute unlimited access to Grammarly, the education plan is only curated for you.
It comes with all the premium features, including 24/7 support and vocabulary enhancement tools.
Should I Go With Free Or Premium?
If you can’t afford the premium version of Grammarly, I would suggest going with their free version.
Grammarly’s free plan has almost everything the premium plan has besides the plagiarism checker and the advanced writing detector.
If you’re a new blogger or a writer, I think the free grammar checker and proofreader version is enough to boost your confidence, eliminate common errors, and make your content readable to your audience.
However, if you can afford a Grammarly premium plan and you want more advanced features, you need to go with Grammarly premium plan.

Grammarly Alternatives: What’s The Best Grammar Checker Tool?
Grammarly isn’t the only option when it comes to grammar checker and proofreading online tools.
There are other tools out there that are very similar to Grammarly; you might want to check out.
ProWritingAid – Probably the best Grammarly alternative out there. By using ProWritingAid you can eliminate error, fix writing style issues, and find the right words.
Ginger – Ginger is another handy spelling and grammar checker tool that comes with a few extra features that Grammarly doesn’t have, such as a translator that lets you translate your writing content between 60 languages.
Hemingway Editor – Hemingway Editor is a free web-based tool that you can use to check articles for readability, grammar, and spelling errors.
All these tools are fantastic, and occasionally I use them too. But I think Grammarly is more beginner-friendly, user-friendly, and most effective grammar checker tool out there.
Final Thoughts: Grammarly Review 2020
I like Grammarly because it’s the secret weapon that helps me boost my confidence. It automatically detects my mistakes and quickly gives me a solution in real-time.
Grammarly is the best writing assistant out there, but keep in mind that it’s not a replacement for a human proofreader.
Overall, Grammarly is a great grammar checker and proofreading tool that can make your writing error-free, advanced, and trustworthy.
So, you should use Grammarly if you’re the person who wants to feel confident by avoiding all embarrassing spelling errors and grammatical errors.
