Nakkati Hill — A Journey of Adventure, Setbacks, and an Unforgettable Trek

Nakkati is a local name in the Assamese language, meaning “Cutting Nose.” There are many local stories related to the hill, and the people of the area believe that Maa Maharani (Goddess Parvati) has a mythological connection to it. They have also built a temple dedicated to the goddess in the village.

The cliff of Nakkati Peak resembles McAfee Knob in the USA, and the site is already very popular among tourists and hikers.

I had always wanted to visit Nakkati Hill because it’s not too far from my home. So, suddenly, I made a plan and asked Nadim bro, Ariful, and Bittu to join me on the adventure.

31st January 2025

Bittu and I started our journey from home at 10 AM. We met Nadim bro in Barpeta town at 11 AM and Ariful in Howly at 12 PM. Then, we started our journey together.

We rode our bikes for 104 KM, and it took us more than 2 hours to reach Nakkati Hill.

We took the wrong route and ended up riding almost 30 KM too far.

By the way, we reached Nakkati after 3:00 PM.

The worst part?

The management guy told us that we couldn’t trek because they close the gate after 4 PM.

Since the trek takes three hours to complete, it would have been impossible for us to finish before 4 PM, even if we had started the moment we arrived at Nakkati,

They told us to come back tomorrow.

We all decided to go to Bongaigaon Town. If we found a good hotel, we’d stay; otherwise, we might return home.

On the way to Bongaigaon, I had a minor accident. A guy on a bike collided with mine from the side. I managed to control my bike, but his handlebar pressed against my left hand — it was painful. Luckily, it wasn’t serious, and my hand healed quickly.

I wanted to stay no matter what and tried to convince them. We found a good budget hotel, and they all agreed to stay — except Ariful. He went back home since his father was alone, and he had initially told his family that we’d return at night.

So, it was just the three of us. We had dinner at Joyguru Restaurant in Bongaigaon.. It was a great place — the food was good, but their hospitality was even better.

We stayed in our hotel and had fun, dancing a bit to the music from the TV, even though we were completely exhausted.

Finally, we went to sleep with hope that the next day’s adventure would be better.

1st February 2025

At 9 AM, we had breakfast at the same restaurant.

Then, we started our journey toward Nakkati Hill. I took some GoPro shots on the way.

We started our trek at 11:30 AM and reached the peak around 1:30 PM. We spent about an hour and a half at the top, taking photos and videos.

Then, we started descending around 2:50 PM and reached the starting point by 4 PM. We rode our bikes for another 100 KM and got home by 7 PM.

The first day was rough, but it was a great test of our patience and endurance.

On the second day, we planned our trip based on our experience from the first day.

We started at the best time, had plenty of time to complete the trek at our own pace, and even got time to take some great photos.

We had a great experience. In the end, the challenges made the journey even more special and memorable — one that we’ll cherish forever.

It is also through reading blogs and books where one begins continuous learning, at the same time becoming an active part of forums. Reddit’s blogging forums and Facebook groups work like communities that provide support to its members. 

Common mistakes when beginning a new blog 

To create a blog that earns you passive income, you have to eliminate some common mistakes. Do not fall for these typical mistakes when starting a blog to earn passive income. 

Not Defining a Clear Niche 

Choosing a niche will help you to stay focused and makes it easier for others to pick up what your site is about, who it’s for, and so on. Having a specific niche attracts the right audience while making the blog easier to monetize.

Inconsistent Posting Schedule 

Despite this, posting randomly and too infrequently will tend toward diminish the audience. Regular posting frequency is essential to attract readers and increase SEO rankings too. 

Lack of Keyword Research 

There are still some minimal or no traffic that goes through blog posts if they don’t do keyword research. Knowing what your audience looks for to drive traffic helps you create content based on their needs. 

Quality over Quantity 

Posting too many posts at once can also give you bad reputation. Good content is what makes sense for retaining people to read your blog and therefore sharing this blog will result in an organic growth of your blog.  

Lack of Best SEO Practices 

Basic SEO will not even be implemented by failing to which will hold your blog back. It is what brings the traffic to your blog: proper optimization of title, meta description, and keyword used. 

No Monetization Plan 

This is what most new bloggers encounter. A plan is in place so you know what your streams of income could be and what goals you should set for yourself. 

Free Blogging 

There are not many ways to customize and monetize with most free blogging services. The self-hosted blog also gives you control and easier monetization. 

Not Building a Community 

Failure to engage with your audience can also affect growth. Building a community on your blog through comments, on social media and even through e-mail newsletters is a great way to build loyalty and encourages return visits. 

Giving Up Early 

Most bloggers quit up on their blogs because they do not reach instant success. Success in a blog requires time and concerted effort. Hang on for the benefits that come with passive income.  

Over Monetize the Blog 

Do not monetize aggressively. Instead, select a few revenue streams that work best to align with your niche as well as the preferences of your audience.

Final Thoughts – How to Create Passive Income Using Blogs (2025) 

Blogging could be a very fulfilling way to create passive income, but requires consistent work. Not every strategy fits into your goals. The journey will be as fulfilling as the destination. Keep trying and going small-first in all strategies.

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

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

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.

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.

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:

Online job boards such as We Work Remotely, RemoteOK, and Remote.co are some of the great places to find flexible part-time jobs or full-time 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 apply for jobs. Also, it’s a great platform where you can 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.

Become a Digital Nomad - Boost Your Confidence

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 books, ‘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.

SafetyWing Nomad Insurance image

Get Digital Nomad Insurance

It’s essential for remote workers and digital nomads to have international health insurance and travel insurance.

SafetyWing is a travel medical insurance that was created by nomads for nomads. You can purchase a policy even if your trip has already started. You can pause and resume coverage with flexibility. 185 countries are covered and you don’t need to let them know about your itinerary in advance. Perfect for people like me who don’t know where they’ll be next month! Check out their website at SafetyWing.com.

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.

Skyroam Hotspot WiFi for digital nomads

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.

Why a Catamaran Cruise In Phuket Might Be Just What The Doctor Would Order

If you find yourself constantly on the edge no matter if you are in your office or at home, then it might be time to take a look at your life and see what is going wrong. We all lead very stressful lives here in Thailand, and we spend every hour of the day trying to earn money so that we can pay for the mortgage on our property and to have money left over to pay our bills. It seems to be a never-ending cycle, and so it seems inevitable that something has to give.

This is why it is time to treat both yourself and your family to a catamaran Cruise in Phuket to take you away from your normal day-to-day things so that you can get out there into the real world and see what nature has to offer. If you’ve never really considered booking a cruise on a catamaran, then the following are just some of the many benefits that it will offer you today and always.

A more comfortable experience — If you have been out on the ocean before on a standard vessel then you will know that even if there is only a little bit of wind and the waves are fairly small, you still feel every bump in the ocean, and it can leave you incredibly tired at the end of a sailing day. The beauty about cruising in a catamaran is that the sailing is much more level, and it doesn’t mean that you are sitting at an angle like you would on a normal sailing boat. This just provides you with a more comfortable experience.You can explore more places — On a standard sailboat, there has to be a certain level of water before this particular vessel can venture into such places. You do not have this issue with a catamaran cruise because it can sail in much shallower water and so this allows you and your family to be able to explore places that you have never been to before. There are many coves around Phuket that you have yet to experience.More space and privacy — The decking area on a catamaran is huge, and so this allows you to really relax and to get a good look at the ocean. The accommodation area is much better as well because each cabin is not right beside each other and the accommodation is more spread out. There is also the safety aspect to think about and because most of these vessels are made from wood or foam, they will continue to float even if they do experience some kind of collision. The likelihood of experiencing such a thing is too slim, but it’s good to have peace of mind anyway.

The ride on a Catamaran is much faster as well, and so this creates a lot more excitement for those of us who don’t want to go on a standard sailing boat. This makes it more fun.

Thanks for reading this article. 💚

Each of the main income revenues outlined above comes with a web of specifics but you’ll want to start from the general and work your way to the nitty-gritty.

Here are some pros and cons you’ll want to keep in mind when making your decision:

1. As a freelancer:Pros: You get you to set your own schedule and work only in what you enjoy and have experience with. You’ll have the most freedom as a freelancer since you won’t have a boss telling you when you need to work and from where.Cons: You’ll have to find your own clients, so will constantly need to be in sales mode. If you don’t do the work, you won’t get paid, so it really relies on you having the motivation to get things done even when there’s a beautiful beach right outside your door.2. As an employee:Pros: You’ll earn a stable paycheck, so you can easily choose places that you know you can afford. You know your responsibilities on a day-to-day basis and don’t have to worry about the admin side of the business.Cons: You’ll be stuck with their schedule. It can be tough to navigate time zones if you require any “face-to-face” online meetings throughout your day. You’ll need to prove to your boss that you can be self-sufficient and work from anywhere.3. As a content creator:Pros: You get to be creative and utilize the platform you enjoy the most. This could be social media, a travel blog, or a mixture of the two. Just like as a freelancer, you’re your own boss, but in this job your main objective is to share about your travels.Cons: It can be time-consuming and a long journey to monetize this. It’s certainly possible but know that it will take a lot of “free” work until you start to make significant money as a content creator.

Once you’ve chosen which of these 3 paths you most prefer, put your head down and focus on how you’ll achieve it. The moment your online income starts to roll in, it’s time to buy that plane/train/bus ticket and hit the road as a digital nomad!

2. That’s why many digital nomads burn out.  

One of the most important steps to becoming a digital nomad is setting realistic expectations.

Without realistic expectations, you won’t last long.

To set realistic expectations, first determine what your work needs and goals are. This is different for everyone, depending on the type of digital nomad jobs you have.

Are you working as a full-time employee for a remote company? Don’t expect to be at the beach every day with your friends. 

Wanna spend every day at the beach with your friends? Don’t expect to work full-time or be as productive as you would be at home.

In fact, unless you’re staying in one spot for several months at a time, you should never expect to be as productive as you would be at home.

Hopping from place to place is awesome, and it’s totally doable for short stints. But know that the more you move, the more you have to plan. Move too fast for too long and the logistics involved will start to feel like a second job.

That’s why many digital nomads burn out.

You can avoid this by shifting your mindset. It’s natural to feel FOMO, and we all have the urge to see as much as possible. But as a digital nomad, it’s not necessary.

You’re not on a two-week vacation anymore. It’s perfectly fine to “miss” some of the highlights that all the other short-term travelers are raving about. Because unlike those short-term travelers, you can return to a country as many times as you want. 

If it’s helpful, don’t think of it as traveling in different countries as a digital nomad. You’re now living in different countries.

There’s no rush.

And the sooner you let that sink in, the more you’ll enjoy being a digital nomad.

3. Make it a habit to routinely look at your bank account and see how much money is coming and going.

One of the most impactful things that you do to help yourself become a digital nomad is to learn how to budget. If you don’t have control over your spending, stress and anxiety about finances will constantly infringe on your travel experiences. 

Budgeting can feel like a dirty word, but start this week with a cash grocery budget. Decide on how much money you’re willing to spend on groceries per week, and take out that much cash.

Use a week-by-week budget instead of a monthly budget because it’s easier to succeed and if you do slip up, failure doesn’t last longer than a few days before your budget resets.

Also make it a habit to routinely look at your bank account and see how much money is coming and going. This will help you develop a positive relationship with your finances, and be proactive rather than reactive.

Budgeting is often only associated with saving money, but it gives you a sense of control that’s invaluable. 

When you’re a digital nomad without a home base, having a sense of control over your money (one of the most important aspects of your life) will improve your travel experience radically.

4. One of the best ways to combat burnout and fatigue is by embracing slow travel.

One of the frequently overlooked elements of travel as a digital nomad is pacing. Many travelers feel that to really be nomadic, they need to move as fast as possible and see as much as possible. 

But this can often lead to burnout and fatigue, where you don’t really enjoy the moment you’re living in because you’re constantly planning the next part. 

One of the best ways to combat this can be by embracing slow travel.

Slow travel can involve spending more time in one place and really getting to know the area before moving on. This gives you more time to discover hidden gems and immerse yourself in local culture. 

It can also give you more time to explore the activities that you personally find most interesting, whether it’s hiking up a volcano or spotting wild sloths

Having days off travel can also be a great way to recharge or to get remote work completed before moving on. 

Lingering in one place longer is also a great way to make connections through networking with like-minded travelers in the local community.

By establishing a base more frequently, you can also be sure of a consistent Wi-Fi connection, which can ease work anxiety and make it easier to meet deadlines.

Slow travel can also be a great way to stretch your budget for longer. By booking the accommodation longer-term, you can often secure favorable renting rates. 

And by choosing accommodation with cooking facilities, nomads can save so much money on food by grocery shopping and batch cooking. 

These tips can all help a digital nomad to regain a feeling of control in their life and achieve a better work-life balance while on the road.

5. The biggest roadblock for many digital nomads is making their lifestyle “nomad-friendly”.

The first step to becoming a digital nomad is letting go of clutter.

Getting a remote job and learning how to make money online is pretty easy in the modern world. So, while this is most definitely an important step, it is easier than you would imagine. 

The biggest roadblock for many digital nomads is making their lifestyle “nomad-friendly”. 

As a digital nomad, you’ll need to be able to fit all of your essential possessions in just one or two pieces of luggage. This likely means selling your Xbox, throwing out the boxes of random stuff under your bed, and essentially storing or getting rid of 90% of the things you own. 

This is a pretty major transition. It can be pretty difficult for new nomads to cut down their wardrobe to a travel-friendly collection, and deciphering which of your possessions are necessary and which aren’t is a major challenge.

It took me a few tries to become truly minimalist. I made a list of everything I owned and decided what I would actually use in the next 2 years, and what would just become annoying clutter, weighing me down as I traveled the world. 

Beyond physical possessions, you also must make your financial life more “digital nomad-friendly”.

Most digital nomads don’t start making a consistent full-time income right away, so it is important to make sure you are in control of your finances. This involves ending all your useless monthly subscriptions. 

End that gym membership you no longer use, sell your car, and rid yourself of any financial burdens that will make your nomad journey more difficult. The trick isn’t to make more money, but instead to be fully in control of your money so that you can do what you want with each dollar.

How Much Does It Cost to Start a Money Making Blog in 2025 (The Cheapest Way)

Today, I’m going to show you exactly how much it costs to start a money-making blog in 2025.

Most aspiring bloggers, and especially teenage aspiring bloggers, don’t have much money to invest in a blog.

Everyone knows that to start a self-hosted WordPress blog you have to invest in hosting, domain name, themes, etc., and there’s no upper limit when it comes to blog investment. You can even hire one of the best Chicago software developers if your budget is ready to support that decision. You can even invest in website accessibility tools that can make your blog user-friendly for all visitors. This too will cost you some money.

But don’t worry,

In this guide, I will share the most affordable ways (The Inu Etc Formula! LOL!) to start a money-making blog in 2025, and I’ll share the minimum amount you need to spend to create a professional-looking, your own, self-hosted WordPress blog.

Let’s dive right in.

How to start a money-making blog

Blogging is proven and one of the oldest ways to make money online. If you have no idea what blogging is and how to start a blog, kindly check out my ultimate guide on how to start a money-making blog.

Where you have to invest your money to start a money-making blog

To start a money-making self-hosted WordPress blog, you have to invest your money in good hosting, domain name, themes, and much more (if you wanna invest more).

You can also build a professional blog without a premium WordPress theme. At our web design company, we use Elementor Pro to build sites for our clients.

If you don’t know how to start a professional blog on your own, you can contact me!

Also, you can’t start and maintain a professional WordPress blog from your smartphone. So, if you don’t have a laptop right now, I suggest you buy a laptop today to blog from anywhere.

This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a commission for purchases made through these links. This commission comes at no extra cost to you. Also, I don’t recommend anything that I don’t believe in.

The Best Web Hosting Service

As an online entrepreneur and a blogger, I have used Bluehost, Siteground, BigRock, Dreamhost, and for our web design company, we have used HostGator, but now I’m using Hostinger, which is the cheapest and the best hosting available online.

hostinger Inu Etc

Hostinger is one of the most reliable and recommended WordPress hosting companies out there.

It’s a secure and the most affordable web hosting service you can use to start your blogging journey today.

They have one of the best loading speeds and their support team is fast, effective, and friendly.

If you want a fast and reliable web hosting service with great customer support, then Hostinger is perfect for you. They have affordable hosting plans for every budget, and each plan comes with tons of useful features.

All their hosting plans include a free domain name, a free SSL certificate, LightSpeed Cache, 1-click WordPress installer, and lots of other useful features.

So what are you waiting for?

Get started today!

Domain Name – Website URL

Hostinger gives you a free domain name when you buy their premium web hosting.

But it’s better to keep your domain and hosting separate from each other to secure your blog.

You can buy top-level domain names from Hostinger, Godaddy, , or any other domain name providers out there.

SSL Certificate

An SSL certificate enables your websites to move from HTTP to HTTPS, which is more secure.

It’s important to make your blog secure using an SSL certificate because it helps your blog rank higher on Google and it ensures that your customers or your blog readers are secure on your website.

Hostinger gives you a free SSL certificate for LIFETIME when you buy any hosting plan from them.

Premium WordPress Theme

A good-looking theme can make all the difference between a boring website to an engaging and interesting website.

There are thousands of easy to customize, beginner-friendly, pre-built premium themes available on many WordPress theme selling marketplace.

If you are a newbie blogger, I recommend Divi by Elegant Themes.

If you want to design a highly customized, extremely well-built, and SEO optimized website, I highly recommend StudioPress by WP Engine.

For my blog, I’m using the Avada theme, which is a premium theme available on ThemeForest, Envato Market.

Related post: 7 Best WordPress Themes for Blogs

So, how much money does It cost to start a money-making blog in 2025?

Let’s calculate the actual amount you have to spend per year to start and host your blog online.

Hosting:

Hostinger premium web hosting – $2.59/Month ($2.59*12 = $31.08/Year)

Domain name:

You’ll get a FREE Domain name with Hostinger premium web hosting. Also, you can buy a domain name from GoDaddy or for under 20$/Year.

SSL certificate:

You can use the Cloudflare free SSL certificate on your blog but I recommend Hostinger, you’ll get a FREE SSL certificate (11.99$ value) for lifetime with any Hostinger hosting plan.

WordPress themes:

Lots of premium WordPress themes are available on Themeforest for under 60$.

I’m using Avada, which is a premium WordPress theme available on Themeforest for $59.

[image error] 4415

The actual cost required to build and run your blog:

So if you follow my blog starting guide and buy the premium hosting plan from Hostinger + a premium WordPress theme from Themeforest, you have to invest $90+ and if you wanna buy a domain name from GoDaddy or , you have to invest $110+ to start a professional blog today.

*I’m using the ‘+’ sign here with the pricing because the tax amount is unknown.

Wanna invest more?There’s no upper limit when it comes to blog investment.

If you’re a rich guy, and you wanna invest more, you can invest in an email marketing service to build an email list.

“Money is on the list”

Email marketing is a huge opportunity to engage with your loyal audience, and there are hundreds of ways you can monetize your loyal audience whenever you want.

ConvertKit is the best email marketing service out there but there are more affordable alternatives available online such as Mailerlite, Aweber, MailChimp, Brevo (formerly Sendinblue, etc.

For Inuidea.com, I use Mailerlite, it’s a beginner-friendly email marketing and automation tool that lets you create beautiful and professional email forms that fit with your branding.

Mailerlite has a free plan that allows you to have up to 1000 subscribers. It’s a better alternative to MailChimp thanks to its easy-to-customize features.

If you wanna invest more to make more money from your blog, you can invest in ads, premium WordPress plugins such as WP Rocket, services such as Tailwind, SendOwl, Canva, Grammarly, and more.

9 Proven Ways to Monetize Your Blog – Make Money Blogging in 2025

Are you looking for some proven blog monetization methods 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 2025.

Let’s dive right in.

1. Blog Advertisements

This is the most easiest and popular monetization method 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 PropellerAds or 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 they can make your site slow and ugly. It also distracts your visitors and affects 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.

To make money from affiliate marketing, all you need is a loyal and 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 may receive a commission for purchases made through these links. This commission comes at no extra cost to you. Also, I don’t recommend anything that I don’t believe in.

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 2025.

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. You can also monetize your newsletter through sponsored ads.

Top bloggers use an email list to market their blogs, monetize their blogs, and 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’s 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 are 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, Substack, Beehiiv, 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.

Write a good  ‘work with me‘ page or design a media kit for your business to let brands and potential clients know you’re available for collaborations and why they should collaborate with you.

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.

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.

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 bookThe End of Jobs‘ in four weeks and in 2015 had made over $60k from just that book.

The End of Jobs Money Meaning and Freedom Without the 9-to-5 eBook Taylor Pearson

‘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.

How to Become an Influencer Marketer in 2025 [My Experience – Infographic]

Wanna become an influencer marketer in 2025?

Today I’m gonna talk about influencer marketing, the rise of micro-influencers, how to get brand deals, and how to become an influencer marketer to make money online.

Let’s dive right in.

What Is Influencer Marketing?

Typically, influencer marketing is a type of social media marketing that utilizes endorsements and product mentions from influencers who have a large social media following and are viewed as experts in their industry/niche.

Influencer marketing is the use of an existing influencer who has built a strong brand reputation in a particular niche to spread awareness of your brand, endorse your product, or co-create content to increase sales and brand awareness.

In influencer marketing, influencers generate trust with their following, and recommendations from them can be regarded as social proof among potential customers of a brand.

The Rise of the Micro-Influencer

A micro-influencer is someone with around 1k to 100k followers across any social media platform.

Most micro-influencers are often considered industry experts because they mostly deal with a specific niche or area.

Brands want to collaborate with micro-influencers who can increase brand awesomeness to specific niches and market segments.

There is also no secret that the larger the influencer, the lower the engagement.

The sweet spot for maximum engagement is to find an influencer who has between 10k-100k followers.

Besides tracking follower numbers, consider watching the types of followers, their quality, and their level of engagement.

My experience – How I make money as an influencer marketer in 2025

I started Inuidea.com in 2019 and after that, I’m trying to monetize my audience using a lot of monetization methods.

Right now, I use AdSense, affiliate marketing, sponsorship, and influencer marketing to monetize my traffic and influence.

3 Steps to Becoming a Social Media and Blogger Influencer1. Select Your Niche

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

While any business could benefit from engaging with influencers, some niches are particularly suited to developing a strong influencer-customer-sale cycle.

Almost any visual product, such as beauty, fitness, fashion, and travel, is exceptionally effective with influencer marketing.

The influencer who promotes these products provides real-life personal reviews that lend credibility in the eyes of the consumer.

A lot of business services perform well when recommended by thought leaders. People tend to trust influencers who use the services they promote.

2. Create and Post Relevant Content and build a loyal audience

Optimize your blog and social media profiles, create and post relevant content and engage with your audience and build a group of loyal audiences.

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.

Stay active on your blog, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and as many platforms as you can to receive more brand deals.

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.

3. Let Brands Know You’re Open to Collaborations

Write a good ‘work with me‘ page or design a media kit for your business to let brands and potential clients know you’re available for collaborations and why they should collaborate with you.

Also, stay active on Intellifluence Influencer marketplace and apply for new collaboration opportunities.

You can send cold emails to your potential clients or as you grow your audience, you can expect cold emails from brands and collaborators out there.

To make money from Affiliate marketing, all you need is a loyal and target audience.

How to Get Google AdSense Approval Fast With a New Blog (2025)

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 AdSense1. 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 its 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 got Google AdSense approval for Inuidea.com 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 the 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 may receive a commission for purchases made through these links. This commission comes at no extra cost to you. Also, I don’t recommend anything that I don’t believe in.

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 have no idea about building a website, I can help you build a professional website for your online business. Know More

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.

8. Create Brand Assets, and Set Up Social Media Accounts.

Treat your website like a real business. Create a professional logo and brand assets, and set up social media accounts on Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn—these are essential. Make sure your website looks like an authentic brand.

If you need a logo and brand assets designer who can manage all these things, you can hire me.

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.  You can also install ‘Site Kit by Google‘, a WordPress plugin to set up AdSense on 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 to 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 earnings reach $10, AdSense will mail you an address verification PIN to the address. Login to your AdSense account and enter the PIN.

Congratulations,

You have completed all the steps of the Google AdSense approval process. Once your earnings reach $100, Google will send you or wire transfer your earnings to your bank account.

Google AdSense Alternatives

Looking for a Google AdSense alternative?

Try PropellerAds or 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.

You can also try affiliate marketing, sponsorship, and more to monetize your blog.
