Blogging is growing in Nepal. With increasing interest in earning money online, blogging has become a popular source of online income for Nepali bloggers.

Many new and old bloggers in Nepal are doing really well. Also, many aspiring bloggers have been inspired by national and international bloggers. These aspiring bloggers want to start a blog and earn money just like others.

Starting a blog is very easy. But growing it and earning a good income from it can be tough. Blogging success requires a lot of hard work, patience, and persistence.

In Nepal, there are a lot of restrictions on online income from blogging. Firstly, we do not have proper payment gateways as it is not easy to receive international payments. Secondly, there are limited sources of income in blogging. And, lastly, the number of blog readers is comparatively low in Nepal.

But still, if you work hard and persist, you can definitely make money blogging in Nepal. Below, we will discuss the different ways you can earn money from a blog.

How to Earn Money Blogging In Nepal?

As we said, there are limited income sources for a blogger in Nepal compared to international bloggers. Below are the ones that are applicable for Nepali bloggers.

1. Advertising
2. Affiliate marketing
3. Sponsored posts
4. Paid reviews
5. Selling digital products

1. Advertising

The most common and easiest way to make money from blogging in Nepal is by advertising. You can use many advertising platforms in your blog. Google Adsense is a popular one.

You need to fulfill certain requirements by Google for them to approve your blog. Once you get approved, you can monetize your blog and start making money off it.

Your Google Ads income depends on blog traffic. More traffic means more money from ads.

2. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing, in simple terms, is a way to promote the products and services of other businesses. You get a commission when a person buys a product or service through your referral.

Affiliate marketing is still growing in Nepal. There are only a few affiliate programs by Nepali companies. Daraz affiliate program, AGM web hosting, Clothing Nepal, and a few other companies have affiliate programs you can earn money from.

3. Sponsored Posts

You can write sponsored posts for companies and businesses. They will pay you for it. However, it can be a little difficult finding such companies and businesses. You might have to approach them personally.

Moreover, you can also promote the products and services of other businesses on your blog. You can do this either by ad placement or through sponsored posts.

4. Paid Reviews

They are similar to sponsored posts. But in paid reviews, you review a specific product or service. It is also promotion.

Understand that businesses will only pay you for sponsored posts and paid reviews if you have a large audience. So make sure you have a good number of readers before you approach them.

5. Selling Digital Products

Digital products include ebooks, courses, photographs, templates, graphics, apps, software, etc. You can sell them directly through your blog and make money.

Selling digital products is a good way to make passive income online. If you have the skills, you can create the products on your own. But if you don’t know how to make them, you can hire someone to make them.

How Much Does A Blogger Earn In Nepal?

A blogger in Nepal can earn anywhere from $100 to $500+ every month, depending on their blogging knowledge and strategies.

The earning from a blog is never fixed as it is passive income. Further, it depends on several factors. The most important factor is traffic.

We have said it several times, and we will say it again: In blogging, more traffic equals more money.

So to earn more money from blogging, you have to drive more traffic to your blog? How?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial. It can drive immense traffic to your site if used correctly. Do the keyword research and write long, informative blog posts. Furthermore, make sure to provide value to your readers. Learn how to leverage social media to your advantage.

Besides traffic, your blog income also depends on monetization strategies, ad program selection, ad placements, and content quality.

The different ways to earn money from blogging are; advertising, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, paid reviews and selling digital products.

Bloggers in Nepal are making a good income. They are earning $100 to $500 (and more) from blogging each month. The main reason they can make this income is because of their blog traffic.

If you focus on increasing your blog traffic, you will increase your blog income.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• 8 Simple Ways To Increase Your Blog Traffic

But first, let us look at the basics of blogging in Nepal.

Blogging in Nepal

Blogging is growing in Nepal. There are a lot of new bloggers emerging in Nepal. People and companies are making good earning from blogging.

However, it is not easy to make money blogging, especially in Nepal. You might hear that people are making hundreds and thousands of dollars per month from a blog. But that takes a lot of determination and hard work.

To grow your blog and start earning money from it, you should be willing to work hard for free. In addition, you should learn about blogging. Your learning ability determines your success as a blogger.

Learn how to start a blog, create quality content, and build an audience. It can take roughly 6 to 12 months before you start seeing actual growth in your blog. However, it depends on the quality and consistency. If you work hard, you will see the results sooner.

How to Start a Blog in Nepal?

We have covered this topic in our previous articles. But we will be discussing it in brief here as well.

As we said, to start a blog, you need three things; a domain name, web hosting, and skill with any of the blogging platforms like WordPress and Blogger.

# Domain Name

A domain name is a name for your website/blog. For example, the domain name of this website is “nepbloggers.com”.

How to register for a domain name in Nepal?

• For the “.com” domain name, you can register with AGM Hosting Nepal here. (Disclaimer: This is an affiliate link.)
• For the “.com.np” domain name, you can register here for free: https://register.com.np/

# Web Hosting

Web hosting allows you to store your website’s data and makes your website accessible from anywhere.

How to purchase web hosting in Nepal?

• You can buy web hosting from AGM Hosting Nepal here. (Disclaimer: This is an affiliate link.)

There are many other companies from where you can buy web hosting for your blog in Nepal. Most companies provide both domain name and hosting services. So, it is better to buy both from the same company. But, buying them from different companies will not have any problem.

# Skill with a blogging platform like WordPress

Skill is important to start a professional blog. You have to know how to set up a blog using WordPress, Blogger, or any other platform.

You can check the web for tutorials. There are a lot of free ones online.

How to Grow Your Blog in Nepal?

Below are seven ways to grow your blog.

1. Be Patient

Yup! That’s right. You have to be patient if you want to succeed as a blogger. Overnight success is not real in blogging too.

As we said before, some bloggers make hundreds and thousands of dollars every month. But it does not happen overnight. They worked hard and stayed patient.

You must be willing to work hard even if you have zero views on your blog. Understand that it takes a lot of time and effort to grow your blog.

2. Create High-Quality Content

It is obvious that if your content sucks, nobody is going to visit your blog. So focus on creating high-quality content.

Take time to identify the type of content in your niche that will provide the best results. Then, create such content in great quantity. What does your audience like? Make more of them. In Nepal, the most popular blogging niches include news, technology, and personal finance.

Work on constantly improving your blog. Learn and implement various blogging strategies.

3. Be Consistent

Consistency is key for blogging success. As we mentioned earlier, keep creating content even if you have zero views or zero dollars income in the beginning. It should not be about the views or income. Instead, it should be about learning and providing value.

Your initial goal should be to write at least 30-50 articles without great views or income. Keep putting out new content regularly. Write at least 2-3 articles every week. Create a schedule that works best for you and stick to it.

Show up to work every day.

4. Use Social Media

Social media has made it easier to reach more people. For creative work, using social media is mandatory. You must leverage social media to your benefit.

Share your work on various social media platforms. Some of the popular social sites used in Nepal include Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Instagram, and TikTok. Make sure you are actively engaging with your audience on each of these platforms.

Be creative when sharing your work on social media. You can even boost your blog or specific article on social media to attract more readers to it.

Social media is a powerful tool. The most amazing part is that it is free to use. You can also ask your friends to share your work on their social media. It will increase your blog readership.

5. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Whether blogging or making videos on YouTube, you should consider making content optimized for the search engines.

What is the first thing people do when they want to know about something? They Google it.

SEO is a big topic. It has many sub-topics that have great importance of their own. The sub-topics include social media marketing, content marketing, search engine marketing, email marketing, advertising, etc.

Learn about SEO. It will play an immense role in the growth of your blog.

6. Build an Email List

Having an email list will help you convert your readers into customers/followers. If you plan on selling digital products like ebooks through your blog, having an email list will be a huge advantage.

Even if you have just started a blog, you need to start collecting emails from your visitors.

This strategy can help you change a one-time visitor to a recurring visitor. In addition, there can be continuous traffic to your blog if you have an email list.

You need to start building an email list as soon as possible. For that, you can use email list-building tools like Mailchimp, Convertkit, Sendinblue, etc.

7. Website Design and Speed Optimization

A slow website is a mood killer. Your website speed plays an essential role in the growth of your blog. It also helps rank your website in search engines like Google.

Furthermore, your website’s design is also a key factor. Make sure your site is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Keep your pages clean. Use clear fonts and images that do not take too much time to load.

Learn various optimization strategies online. If you are using WordPress, for instance, there are different plugins for site optimization.

Conclusion

Starting a blog is easy. However, growing it can be hard. You have to put up good work to grow your blog consistently. Merely writing articles and hoping someone will read them will not be helpful.

So how can you grow your blog in Nepal? First, create high-quality content and be consistent. Further, understand that growth takes time. You cannot achieve overnight success from blogging.

Leverage social media to grow your blog. Moreover, use search engine optimization strategies to rank your blog on Google.

Build an email list to keep your readers engaged. Finally, improve your website’s design and speed.

If you follow these methods, we assure you that your blog will certainly grow within 6 to 12 months.

Happy blogging!

The post 7 Highly-Effective Ways To Grow Your Blog In Nepal appeared first on NepBloggers.

But there are still many people who do not know how to start a blog in Nepal. Even though they want to start, they are not able to do so. There are several reasons for that—lack of skills, laziness to learn, inconsistency, etc.

Starting a successful blog is easier said than done. It takes a lot of hard work, patience, and consistency. You can only achieve success if you start and stay consistent. Starting a blog does not matter as much as sticking around long enough.

Even though blogging in Nepal is growing, we can hardly find good blogs in Nepal. It is not that there are no good blogs at all. There are some fantastic blogs.

But the majority of the bloggers are struggling to make it out there as a blogger. As we said, they either lack blogging skills or are just unwilling to make an effort. They struggle with stuff like setting up a website and getting enough traffic to their blogs.

All this said, there is still one question that remains, and that is: Is blogging worth it in Nepal?

One Year Of Blogging in Nepal

Our writers here at NepBloggers have had a good experience in blogging. Let us see what you can expect after one year of blogging in Nepal.

Firstly, blogging success depends on several factors like:

1. Number of articles you write
2. Proper use of SEO
3. The amount of traffic you get on your blog
4. The length of your articles
5. Keyword research for your articles
6. Monetization strategies

We will answer all of these questions and share one of our writers’ experiences with you after a year of blogging experience.

1. How many articles did you write?

I published 63 articles in the first year of blogging.

2. Did you use SEO correctly?

I used SEO in only a few of my articles.

3. How much traffic did you get on your blog?

My blog had 800 – 1000 page views per month on average.

4. On average, how long were your articles?

I wrote both long and short articles. On average, my articles were about 900 – 1200 words long.

5. Did you conduct keyword research for your articles?

I did not conduct any keyword research, except for a few (1-3) articles.

6. Did you monetize your blog? How much did you earn?

Yes, I monetized my blog with Google Adsense. But my earnings were significantly low. My blog hardly made $1 per month.

Results

His blog did reasonably well for one year of blogging. Writing 63 articles in the first year of blogging is good. Maybe if he wrote more, things would have been different.

He used SEO in only a few of his articles. He could have done better here. Using SEO strategies is very important for blogging success. He has seen a lot of difference in the performance of articles with and without SEO. The ones with SEO performed well in terms of traffic.

Getting a thousand pageviews is suitable for a new blogger. But the views should be increasing every month as you keep publishing new posts. Again, SEO plays a significant factor here. The use of on-page and off-page SEO strategies is crucial. It is also essential to use backlinks to get more views.

Blogging experts recommend writing long articles. According to research, 3,000 – 10,000 words articles get more shares. Since his articles were only 900 – 1200 words on average, he could have done better in this area. You should at least go for 1,500 – 2,000 words to rank better on Google.

Like SEO, keyword research is equally important. Among the 63 articles, he only did keyword research for a few of them. This, again, is not good for blogging success.

Lastly, his blog earnings were significantly low. Google typically pays $1 for 1,000 page views. But it varies on CPC and other factors. However, earnings usually depend on traffic. More views bring more income. Had he worked on increasing his page views, he might have made better earnings from his blog.

Is Blogging Worth it in Nepal?

So, is blogging worth it in Nepal? In our article, 6 Things You Should Know Before Starting A Blog In Nepal, we said it is essential to know your blogging purpose. What is your purpose in starting a blog? It is:

• to share your ideas, thoughts, information, or skills with people?
• to help other people by teaching them something of value?
• for personal branding?
• to track your life’s happenings?
• to grow your business?
• just for fun?
• to improve your personal skills?
• to make money?

The worth of your blog will depend on its purpose. If you want to start a blog just for fun, it is worth it because you will love sharing your ideas, experiences, and thoughts. Also, if your purpose is to track your life’s happenings, there isn’t much problem there. However, if you want to grow your business or make money, you need to be more serious about it.

To make your blog worth it, you have to be hard-working, patient, and consistent. From our writer’s experiences, you must have known what you should and should not do to succeed as a blogger within a year.

The first year of blogging is just the beginning. It tests your skills, knowledge and tells you whether it is what you want to do.

Remember this: If you stay longer, it will surely pay. It is only a matter of how much you want it. Even if you failed in your first blog, do not get disappointed. We can tell you this: You will learn something from it. This we can guarantee.

To answer our main question, blogging in Nepal is worth it if you make it worth it. If you do not focus on the outcomes like views, income, engagements, etc., and keep doing what you love, it will pay off sooner or later. But if you start focusing on these things instead of making quality content, you will feel that blogging is not worth it. And soon, you will quit.

Takeaways

If blogging is what you want to do, go for it. If it is your passion, then it will surely be worth it. But if you want to do it for other reasons like earning a lot of money, you are sure to be disappointed.

The most important thing to remember in blogging is learning. There are so many things to learn. Further, you need to focus on quality content and not get driven by other factors like views, income, and engagements.

Your only job is to create content. If you love doing it despite not having everything at first, you will make it. If you are persistent in following your passion, you are sure to find success as a blogger.

The post Is Blogging Worth It In Nepal? What To Expect After A Year Of Blogging. appeared first on NepBloggers.

In our previous articles, we have discussed how you can start a website and start blogging in Nepal. But you might not have the time or interest in starting your own blog.

We get it. Not everyone is good with the “techy” stuff. Setting up a blog requires you to learn some basic tech skills.

Don’t worry. There are many websites where you can sign up, write articles, and share them. You can do it all for free.

A Writer’s Job Is To Write

Before we share the free websites, you need to understand why you should write on these free websites.

If you are a writer, your job is to write. It is not to make a website or work on designs. Most bloggers in Nepal say that they want to write articles but they do not know how to start a blog.

If you want to write, you do not need a blog. You just need a platform where you can write.

Social media is one of those platforms. You can write a post on Facebook for free and share your thoughts with the world.

Twitter allows you to do the same (but it is limited to only 280 characters). Linkedin allows you to write and publish unlimited articles.

You can write on Instagram as well (in your post captions), although it is a visual platform.

Again, you do not need a blog if you want to write.

The Benefits of Writing And Sharing For Free

Why write articles on these free websites? There are several reasons. New bloggers, listen carefully.

# Learning

You will learn how to write articles. If you have not written an article before, writing on a free website is a perfect way to learn.

# Saving Money

You will save money. Starting your own blog requires you to pay for a domain name and web hosting. On these free platforms, you can write unlimited articles and share them with the world.

# Building a Network

You can build a network. If you are actively publishing articles on different platforms, people on those platforms are going to notice your work. You will be able to build a strong network from this.

But if you start your own blog, it can be difficult for people to notice you from the start. These websites also have a lot of traffic, which will be good in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

6 Websites To Write Articles For Free In Nepal

Below are the 6 websites where you can write articles for free in Nepal. You can write on any (or all) of these websites and share your work with others online.

1. LinkedIn
2. Medium
3. The Bloggers Club
4. WordPress
5. Blogger
6. Quora

1. LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a popular social networking site. Unlike other social networking services, LinkedIn is rather a business and employment-oriented service.

Employers can post jobs and recruit employees. And, employees can find jobs and apply for them. Users can also create and post their CVs on LinkedIn.

Writing articles on LinkedIn is very easy. You can post pictures, status, and links, just like other social networking sites. But, LinkedIn provides a separate section to post articles.

To start writing articles on LinkedIn, first, you need to sign up and create your profile. Then, you will see a “Write Article” section in your profile.

Click on the “Write Article” button and it will redirect you to a post editor. This is where you write your article. You can add images, links, videos, and embed codes to your article.

Once you are done with writing the article, click on “Publish” and voila, you can share it with your LinkedIn network and anyone you prefer.

2. Medium

Medium is one of the most popular online publishing platforms used by millions of readers and writers all around the world.

With its recent update, you can create your own blog on Medium—along with the personal URL of your blog. Medium also allows users to create publications of their own. It means that if you have a business or a company, you can write content for it in Medium.

Writing articles on Medium is similar to that on LinkedIn. You need to sign up and create an account. Once you are logged in, click on your profile and select “Write a story”.

On Medium, articles are called stories.

Then you will see a post editor where you can start writing your article. Publish and share it after you are done writing.

Medium also allows you to follow other writers so that you can read their work. However, you need to sign up for a paid-version to read other writers’ work on Medium.

But you do not need to pay to write. You can write as many stories as you like and share them with others.

Medium also pays writers based on the number of claps (which is similar to “likes” on other social platforms). Unfortunately, the Medium Partner Program is not available in Nepal.

3. TheBloggersClub

The Bloggers Club is a Nepali platform where writers can write and share articles for free. You can also follow and read the work of other bloggers of Nepal.

It is just like Medium. You need to create an account, go to “New Article” and start writing. Other users can view it, appreciate it (similar to “likes”), and share it.

The benefit of writing on Bloggers Club is that it also pays the writers. Based on your article views, they give you points. When you collect enough points, they will pay you accordingly. Later, you can withdraw your money and transfer it to your account.

You need a minimum of Rs. 500 to make the withdrawal.

4. WordPress

WordPress is one of the most popular blogging platforms in the world. You can start a free blog on WordPress. To do so, go to wordpress.com (not wordpress.org), create an account, and create your blogging site.

The free WordPress platform is a good way to learn how WordPress works. Later, when you start your own blog with this platform, it will be easier for you to use it.

You will have the idea of themes, plugins, posts, and pages. WordPress also pays you to write on its platform. But you need to upgrade to be eligible to earn money.

WordPress is not only useful to write articles but also to work with content management systems (CMS).

An alternative to WordPress is Blogger.

5. Blogger

Blogger is another popular blogging platform. It is owned by Google. To start a blog in blogger, all you need is a Google account.

There are many bloggers who are using blogger.com as a platform for their blogs. They are also making money from this platform.

Blogger is also a content management system. You can not only write articles but work with designs and other tools. It helps you to build an entire website for your blog, just like WordPress.

Along with writing articles, if you are also interested in learning how to build a website, you need to sign up for Blogger or WordPress.

6. Quora

Quora is a popular question-and-answer platform. It is not the first place you should go to write articles.

But wait…

Quora can help you get a lot of traffic to your blog. You can get a lot of exposure using Quora.

How to write articles on Quora?

There are two ways to do so. The first is to search for any relevant topic that you want to write about. You will find many questions that people have been asking about. Write a post as an answer to their questions. But make sure that your answer is genuine. Later, you can turn that answer into a blog post on other platforms.

Second, you can create quora spaces. These are like communities where readers/writers with similar interests hang out. You can follow relevant spaces on quora and share your articles there.

Which Platform To Choose?

All.

Yes. Write everywhere. Don’t limit yourself to a single platform. Share your work in as many places as you can. There are many benefits of doing so.

You can re-sharing your work on LinkedIn, Medium, Quora, and the Bloggers Club. Doing so will give you more exposure.

But if you are want to work on a CMS platform, choose WordPress and Blogger. (In the case of a CMS platform, it is better to choose one of them rather than both. You can switch later if you want.)

When To Start A Professional Blog?

In this article, we have shared the benefits of writing for free. But when should you start a professional blog?

Once you are familiar with the writing process and you know how to work with CMS (like WordPress and Blogger), you can start a personal blog.

But, like we said, if you just want to write, you do not need a blog. A blog is necessary when you want more exposure to your work. That can be done through WordPress and Blogger platforms as well.

If your interest is to write, just do it. The fact that you do not know how to build a website should not stop you from writing.

The six websites we mentioned in this article are only a few among many.

Once you have created enough content on these free platforms, it will be easier for you to start a blog. You can simply put the articles on your blog. Then, you will have a nice portfolio of work.

Conclusion

The main purpose of this article was to inspire the bloggers and writers of Nepal to write more. It is not necessary to have a personal blog to write articles. Not everyone will know how to build a website for a blog.

If you are one of those writers, do not stop yourself from writing. With these six platforms, you can write and share your work for free. You can also explore other platforms like Wix and Weebly.

Use Medium, LinkedIn, Bloggers Club, and Quora to write. Learn how to build a website with WordPress or Blogger.

Later, combine the two and you will be ready to start your own blog.

The post 6 Websites Where You Can Write Articles For Free In Nepal appeared first on NepBloggers.

It might be easy to set up a website, write a few articles, and share them online. But the hard part is to grow your blog successfully.

Even though you work hard to create content on your blog, it can be difficult to see real growth.

Achieving success blogging in Nepal is not easy. You cannot just start a blog and achieve success overnight. It takes hard work and consistency. Most bloggers in Nepal want to start a blog to make money. Making money blogging in Nepal is, again, not very easy. There are very limited revenue sources to make money blogging in Nepal.

The successful blogs in Nepal are mostly news and media publications. Succeeding as an individual blogger in Nepal is tough. But it is not impossible.

Starting a Successful Blog In Nepal

There are several factors that make a blog successful. Some of them are:

• Blog niche (Blog topic)
• Content quality
• Content quantity
• Traffic sources
• Marketing strategies
• Audience engagement

If you work on all these factors, you can achieve success blogging in Nepal. But for starters, you do not need to work on all these things.

You need to understand a few basic things that can help your blog become successful.

But remember that it takes time. Starting a blog is like planting a seed. You have to first put the seed inside the soil, water it daily, take care of it, and see the plant grow successfully after a certain period of time.

In this article, we will give you three basic tips that can boost up your blogging game. Like we said, there are several factors that matter to achieve success with your blog. But these three tips will help you get started and maintain the growth of your blog.

Three Tips To Achieve Blogging Success in Nepal

1. Blog Niche

A blog niche is basically the topic of your blog. It represents the type of content you will be creating on your blog.

For example, our niche is blogging tips for bloggers in Nepal.

Similarly, there are a lot of blog niches like technology, health, fitness, finance, food, personal development, etc.

It is very important for you to have a specific niche for your blog. You cannot start a blog and write about everything you know.

Pick a specific niche and create content related to that particular niche.

Why Have A Niche?

When you make content on a specific niche, you will attract an audience who is interested in that niche. The audience will trust you because you have created a lot of content related to that niche. It proves that you know about that niche.

But you might be thinking that if you create content in several niches, you can attract more audience.

Blogging does not work that way. Even if you are an expert in different fields, you cannot include everything in the same blog. Your audience will get confused. For instance, one day you are writing about finance and the next day you are writing about cooking. That will be confusing. Even if you are a chef who also invests in the stock market, do not mix them up in the same blog. If you want to write about both these topics, you can start separate blogs for each of these topics.

Another reason why it is important to stick with a specific niche is that Google will also consider you an expert on that topic. So it will rank your blog to the top if you have sufficient traffic and content on your blog.

Remember This

Do not choose a big niche for your blog. For example, if you are starting a blog on technology, be more specific. Technology is a big sector. What specific things about technology do you want to include on your blog?

• Product development/reviews,
• Medical technology,
• Software development,
• Tutorials, etc.

Choose one of these and stick to it. Be as specific as you can while selecting your blog niche.

You can also go with micro-niche blogs. Micro niches are small, specific niches.

2. Learning and Research

If you are starting out as a blogger, your main job is to learn as much as possible. Watch tutorials, follow other bloggers, read other people’s work, and research online. You can also take courses on blogging if you have to. But, almost everything is available for free online. So try not to spend money when you can basically learn everything for free.

When creating content, make sure you have done proper research. You should have a good knowledge of your content.

Study your niche carefully. Follow other people who make content similar to yours. Learn from them. Do not copy their work. You can give them credit if you are using their work. Plagiarism is the worst thing you can do as a content creator.

Let’s suppose that your blog’s niche is tech-product reviews. You need to keep learning about new products in the market. Also, follow the work of other tech-product review blogs and YouTube channels. You can take inspiration and ideas from their work to create your own content.

Build your skills. Blogging is a continuous learning process. You will need several skills to become a successful blogger. Website development, content writing, marketing, etc. are some of the skills.

If you do not have time to learn all the skills, you can hire other people. But do it only if you can afford to pay them. You can also ask your friends for help. They can guide you through the process.

Remember two things: Firstly, build your skills. You must have different skills if you want to achieve success as a blogger. To do so, learn as much as possible. And secondly, do your research. The more research you do, the more you will know about your niche. You will be able to create more content on your blog.

3. Consistency

You have to be consistent if you want to achieve success in blogging. You cannot be successful by posting one blog post a month.

Create more content. For the first few months of starting your blog, your job is to create as much content as possible. Do not think about the views and engagements. Do not worry about making money. Never doubt yourself. Keep making content and sharing it online. Even if there are no views, keep making them.

New bloggers start to doubt themselves when their blog does not get more views. So they give up early.

Like we said, achieving success in blogging takes time. You cannot expect your blog to grow after publishing 10-20 articles.

There have to be consistently published posts in your blog. Google also considers this as a ranking factor.

“Qualitatively speaking, reaching 55 to 70 consistently published blogs appears to be a trigger for Google to deem a content source as legitimate, and increased traffic/rankings follow.” —Frank Isca, Weidert Group (weidert.com)

But remember, your content should be of quality. Do not decrease the quality while trying to increase the quantity. There has to be a balance between quality and quantity. Both are equally important.

For content quality, do your research. Find keywords that are popular in your niche. Check your facts. Look for quality content ideas.

For content quantity, publish high-quality content consistently—at least 2 articles per week.

In Conclusion

Starting a blog in Nepal is easy. A lot of people are doing it. But only a few of them are successful.

Most people think that a blog will be successful if you make good content and do proper marketing. Yes, doing these things are a part of creating a successful blog. But other things like choosing a good niche and being consistent are also equally important.

In this article, we covered three simple tips to increase your chances of achieving blogging success in Nepal.

The first thing to do is select a proper niche. A good niche is very important for blogging success. Make sure that you do not select a big niche. Try to be as specific as you can. You can also choose micro niches for your blog.

The second thing to do is learn and research. Build your skills. Blogging is a constant learning process. Learn about website design/development, content writing, keyword research, marketing, etc. Do your research while creating content. Check the facts. Find more ideas related to your blog niche.

Last, but not least, be consistent. Create more content, especially if you have just started a blog. Do not check the views and engagements in the early stage of blogging. Keep making quality content. Publish consistently and share them online.

Success does not happen overnight. You need to work hard and be consistent. Do not give up early. Have faith. Success will be yours.

Happy blogging!

The post 3 Simple Tips To Grow Your Blog And Achieve Success Blogging In Nepal appeared first on NepBloggers.

If you have just started a blog, you should know about these mistakes. Even if you have successfully set up your blog, you might still be making these mistakes.

• 6 Things You Should Know Before Starting A Blog In Nepal

Blogging Mistakes

Here, we will be discussing the mistakes made by beginner bloggers in Nepal. If you have made any of these mistakes, it is time to correct them. And, if you have just started blogging, make sure you avoid them.

Let’s begin.

1. Bad Domain Name and Web Hosting

If you are new to blogging and don’t know anything about it, you can use free platforms like blogger.com, wordpress.com, and medium.com.

But if you are serious about your blogging journey, you need to have a proper domain name and web hosting.

What is a proper domain name?

A domain name is basically the name of your blog that appears on the URL of your site. For example, thisisyourdomainname.com. There can be different types of domain names, with “.com”, “.info”, “.org”, etc.

It is recommended that you buy a “.com” domain name because it is the most professional one. However, in Nepal, you can get the “.com.np” domain name as well. You can get it for free here. In the long term, having a good domain name for your blog will be a great advantage in terms of professionalism, SEO, and monetization.

Similarly, you must also purchase good web hosting for your blog. Not having good web hosting can affect the speed and performance of your website. So, make sure you get good web hosting for your blog.

You can buy the domain name and web hosting from AGM Web Hosting Nepal here. (Disclaimer: This is an affiliate link.)

2. Not Using a Proper Design

Your blog should look good so that readers are attracted to it. If your blog has a terrible design, people might not want to read it even though your content is good.

If you are using WordPress, make sure you use a proper theme for your blog. Your theme should not only look good, but it should also be responsive, which means it should be device-friendly.

You should also have proper menus in the header and footer for easy navigation. An attractive logo would also be nice.

Do some research to find out which themes are good. If you are not sure, use trial and error to find the best one. You can also search for “popular” themes in WordPress.

It is preferable to use paid themes instead of free ones. Paid themes are more flexible to use and have a lot of different features as well.

3. Low-Quality Content

Creating low-quality content on your blog is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.

What is low-quality content?

• Articles with incorrect grammar
• Articles that are not formatted properly – paragraphs, headings, bullets/numberings, etc.
• Low-value content
• Short articles
• Not using images

How to create high-quality content?

Make sure you write good articles on your blog. If you do not know how to write good articles, learn it. Your grammar and structure should be neat. Make sure you edit properly before publishing your articles.

Divide your articles into more short paragraphs rather than fewer long paragraphs. Use proper headlines, bullets/numberings, images, etc.

Write articles that are at least 800-1200 words. It is better if you do keyword research so that your articles will rank better on search engines.

Your first article might not be good. But, you need to keep improving and writing more.

4. Inconsistency

You have to create content consistently. Write more articles. Post more often. Don’t just write a few articles and disappear for a month.

Becoming consistent will not only help your blog to increase more audience, but it will also help you improve your blog.

If you write articles consistently, your writing will improve. You will also learn about designs, tools, and other features of blogging.

Your blog will become better if you are consistently making improvements. So make more content, post more often, and most importantly, be a consistent learner.

5. Not Sharing Your Content

Creating content and not sharing them will not bring traffic to your blog. It will not be a successful blog. You need to share your work with other people.

Most new bloggers think that they will get traffic organically. It is very tough. Even if you share your content, you should not expect much growth right away.

The best way to share content is on social media. It is free and it is easy. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linked In, Reddit, and Pinterest are some of the popular social media sites where you need to share your content.

Make sure you use more hashtags related to your content while sharing on social media. But don’t use random hashtags that are not relatable, just to get more views.

Do not use paid advertisement strategies if you are a new blogger. It doesn’t work. Yes, you will get views but they will vanish once your ad stops. Focus on free sharing platforms and use SEO techniques to attract organic traffic.

6. Not Building an Email List

This is one of the biggest mistakes that new bloggers make. You have to build an email list right from the beginning. Having an email list will help you convert your readers into customers/followers.

Suppose a reader visits your blog through a search engine. She reads one of your articles and likes it. Maybe she even shares it. But once she leaves your site, she might forget about it. If you had asked for her email when she had visited your site, you could have sent other articles to her which she might have liked and shared as well.

If you plan on selling digital products like ebooks through your blog, having an email list will be a huge advantage.

Even if you have just started a blog, you need to start collecting emails from your visitors.

You can use email-list-building tools like Mailchimp, Convertkit, Sendinblue, Convertful, etc.

7. Starting A Blog Just To Earn Money

People might have different purposes to start a blog. If your’s is to make money, then stop. Don’t do it.

One of the most asked questions by wanna-be-bloggers in Nepal is: How to make money blogging in Nepal?

Blogging should be a passion. If you don’t love it, you won’t succeed as a blogger. Making money blogging in Nepal is very difficult.

Focus on creating high-quality content. Your content should solve people’s problems. You should give them a reason to read your articles and visit your blog.

Yes, you can definitely make money blogging in Nepal. But money is the outcome of hard work, persistence, and patience.

Don’t start a blog with the purpose of making money.

Takeaways

If you are starting a blog, make sure that you learn how to do it properly. Use free platforms if you do not know anything at all. If you are serious about blogging, you must invest in a good domain name and web hosting. Use a proper theme for your blog. It should look attractive and it should be easy to use. Create high-quality content on your blog and post them consistently. Share your content on social media. Take feedback and focus on improving your blog. Building an email list is very very important. It will allow visitors to consistently be updated with your content. Lastly, don’t start a blog if your purpose is to make money. Instead, focus on making good content for the readers.

The post 7 Mistakes You Need To Avoid As A Beginner Blogger In Nepal appeared first on NepBloggers.

There are people who want to start a blog but have a lot of doubts and queries like:

• I don’t know how to set up a website.
• I don’t know how to write good articles.
• Nobody will visit my blog.
• What topic am I going to make my blog about?
• Is blogging worth it in Nepal?

For starters, it is understandable to have such doubts and queries.

You need to understand a few things before starting a blog. As we have clarified in this article, you need to have a purpose to start a blog. Having a purpose means having a reason to start a blog. After that, you need to have a passion for blogging and a desire to learn about it.

Blogging is about learning, like any other skill. You cannot start a successful blog overnight. It takes time to create content, build an audience, and grow your blog.

Reasons to Start a Blog in Nepal

As we said, you need a purpose before starting a blog. In this article, we will help you identify your purpose by giving you a few reasons to start a blog in Nepal.

1. To Help Others

One of the main reasons to start a blog is to help other people. People are always trying to learn something online. You can start a blog that would help others with their problems. There can be a lot of different topics you can choose from, related to technology, health, business, relationships, blogging, cooking, etc.

Every person knows something that others don’t. Your job, as a blogger, is to teach what you know to someone who doesn’t know it. Each of the topics mentioned above can have many other topics within them. If you think that you do not have any skill that could help others, start learning. First, you learn it yourself, then teach others.

2. To Promote Your Business and Build a Brand

This is usually for organizations and businesses. Every organization has products or services that they want to promote. Blogging is one of the best and easiest ways to do so. By starting a blog, you can make people aware of your business and its products or services. It is also one of the best ways to gain more customers.

Blogging will also help you create a brand. It is one of the best ways to create content through which you can promote brand awareness. You can create a blog and transform it into many different forms of content like video, audio, infographics, etc. This will help you to be present on different online platforms. People will become more aware of your business if you are consistently providing valuable information to them.

You can also start a blog to promote your skills like photography, videography, graphic designing, cooking, etc. This will help you create a personal brand.

3. To Improve Your Skills

You need different skills to start a blog. These skills will not only help you to start and grow your own blog, but they could also help you find different job opportunities. Skills like building a website, writing articles, and digital marketing are always in high demand.

If you do not have any skills yet, start learning. Everything is available online for free. By learning them just a few hours a day, you can actually become a highly-skilled person. You don’t need to pay for any special classes or courses to build these skills.

4. Self-Improvement

A blog does not necessarily have to be for others to see. You can use blogging as a way to improve yourself. For instance, you can start a personal blog where you could write about your life experiences (like an online journal). You will be able to track your life which will help you learn and grow. Blogging can also help you organize your thoughts and become creative. You can learn about planning and organizing. You can also use blogging as a motivation to achieve more in life.

5. To Make Money

You can make money blogging in Nepal. However, it is easier said than done. Like we have said, making money blogging in Nepal takes a lot of hard work, persistence, and patience. But, if you are serious about blogging and if you are willing to work hard, you can make good money blogging.

Making money from a blog is difficult because of the fewer revenue-generating sources in Nepal. Some of the ways you can earn money blogging in Nepal are through advertisements, affiliates, promotions, paid reviews, selling products, etc.

Making money should not be the only reason to start a blog. Most people start a blog for this reason only. But once they find out that it is difficult, they quit. So you have to take blogging as a passion and think of money as a reward for your hard work and dedication towards it.

In Conclusion

Blogging is a form of content creation. The more content you can create, the better it will be for yourself and/or your business. Like we said, you can transform your blog into many other types of content, which will be very helpful. Everyone can start a blog even if they do not know anything about it. Blogging is easy if you have the will to learn. However, you must remember that the information you share should be genuine and valuable to the audience. Otherwise, you cannot achieve success with blogging.

So what is your reason to start a blog? Find it and start blogging.

The post 5 Reasons You Should Start A Blog In Nepal appeared first on NepBloggers.

Although you can easily start a blog in about 10 minutes, you need to learn some skills to make your blog successful. You cannot just start and expect it to grow by itself.

Consistency is key. You have to keep learning and improving your skills. There will be difficult times, especially in the beginning days, where your blog doesn’t seem to be growing. It is how you handle such difficult times that will determine how good your blog will be in the future.

In this article, we will be discussing the 4 essential skills that will help to grow your blog in Nepal. If you can learn and develop these skills, it is guaranteed that you will achieve success as a blogger.

• 6 Things You Should Know Before Starting A Blog In Nepal
• How To Start A Blog In Nepal?

Now let us discuss the 4 essential skills you will need to start a successful blog in Nepal.

1. WordPress

Although there are a lot of other platforms you can use for your blog, WordPress is the most popular and easiest one.

If you are not using WordPress as your blogging platform, then the same thing will apply to whatever platform it is that you are using.

You need to know the ins and outs of WordPress. There are a lot of things you can learn in WordPress. The basic skills you need to know in WordPress are to:

• install and customize themes,
• install and use plugins,
• change basic website settings,
• know how to add/update posts and pages,
• use appropriate categories and tags for posts,
• add media, etc.

The first two are the most important ones. Choosing the appropriate theme is very very important. Also, you should know how to customize the theme for your blog as per your requirements.

Working with plugins is another important skill that you must know. Plugins are the solutions to all your problems in WordPress. But you have to know which plugin to use and how to use it. Some of the recommended plugins to use in WordPress are:

• Yoast SEO
• Monsterinsights
• WPForms
• UpdraftPlus
• Classic Editor
• iThemes Security

If you know how to use WordPress well, you will be able to significantly improve your blog. Another advantage of this is that it can also provide you with job opportunities.

2. Content Writing

You will obviously need some content for your blog. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the written form. You can have other types of content on your blog, like videos, photos, audio, art, etc.

But knowing how to write good content will always be a plus point. Even if your blog doesn’t need to have articles, it is better if you write some. This will be helpful in many ways. For starters, your blog will rank better on search engines. Your audience will be able to know more about your content. And, you will also be able to market your content in different forms if you have written content.

Let’s suppose you have a photography blog. If you only post photographs on your blog, it will not grow as much. Adding a “blog” section, where you write about your photographs, can provide you the above-mentioned benefits.

Even if you are not a writer, you can write good articles by learning. It is always an advantage to have written articles on your blog. And, just like the WordPress skill, this might also help you land other writing jobs.

3. Research

Research is an important part of learning. It helps you in finding creative ideas for your blog. You obviously need to do research on your blog’s niche. Find interesting topics to create content on them.

The best way to do research is by learning from other bloggers. Follow them. Subscribe to their blogs. You will be able to learn valuable insights from them. You can get ideas and apply them to your blog as well. What kind of articles are they writing and how? How is the design of their blogs? What tools are they using to get more traffic? Find them. Try to contact them and ask them directly. You have to take these chances if you want to learn.

Proper research helps you get creative content ideas. Reading is also a good form of research. Read books or articles on content writing, marketing, branding, etc. Learn free stuff from YouTube.

Constantly look for new and fresh ideas for your blog.

4. Digital Marketing

Digital marketing is one of the most important skills you need to have. There are different aspects of digital marketing like:

• SEO,
• content marketing,
• social media marketing,
• search engine marketing,
• email marketing,
• graphic designing,
• web analytics, etc.

You do not have to be an expert in all these topics on digital marketing. The most important ones you should learn for your blog are SEO, content marketing, email marketing, and social media marketing.

Why do you need to know digital marketing to have a successful blog in Nepal?

People are using digital devices every day. They are also using different social media platforms every day. You can reach out to a lot of people through these platforms. Share your blog on social media. Keep your readers updated. Take feedback and make improvements.

Collecting emails is also very important if you want to achieve success with your blog. This allows you to build a bigger audience. It will help you keep your readers up-to-date with your content. But, don’t overdo it. You can use different plugins to collect emails. Use third-party applications like Convertful, Mailchimp, and Convertkit to collect and broadcast emails.

There are a lot of free courses on digital marketing. Take these courses because they will help you grow your blog.

Other Non-Essential Skills

There are a few other skills you should know if you want to achieve better success with your blog. However, these skills are not compulsory, but they will come in handy if you know them.

# Planning and Organizing

Running a blog can get tough if you don’t know how to plan and organize your work. If you write articles on your blog, for instance, make a specific plan to write, edit, and publish your articles. Set out specific days to do these tasks. You can use free online tools to do your planning. Trello, Evernote, Google Sheets, Google Docs, etc. are some of the popular online tools. Planning and organizing your work will also help you keep track of your progress.

# Passion and Motivation

Are these even skills? Not particularly. But you need them, so just hear us out. Firstly, you have to have a passion for blogging if you want to succeed with it. If you lack passion, then you cannot be consistent with it. And, even if you do, your content will not be as good. So make sure you have a passion for blogging. Next is motivation. You need the motivation to be consistent. Again, if you lack the motivation, your content will not be good. How to build motivation? Be passionate and stay organized. Make specific plans to grow your blog and stick to that plan.

# Coding

Last but not least is coding. Again, this is not compulsory. You can create awesome blogs without writing a single line of code. But, if you know how to code, things will be a lot simpler. You can customize and manipulate the designs according to your needs. It will be easier for you to work with themes and plugins. You can even build your own website if you are good at coding. That way, you will not have to depend on WordPress or other platforms. We recommended you learn at least the basics of HTML, CSS, and PHP.

In Conclusion

It is easy to start a blog. But it is not easy to become a successful blogger. You need hard work and consistency. For that, you have to build your skills and learn as much as possible. Everything you need to know is available online for free. There are thousands and thousands of free content online on the topics of blogging, including WordPress, digital marketing, and programming. You only have to be willing to learn them and apply them. Take the time to learn as much as possible. But you might not be able to learn everything at once. Start small. Learn the basics and slowly build your skills day by day.

Keep learning. Keep blogging.

The post 4 Essential Skills You Need If You Want To Start A Successful Blog In Nepal appeared first on NepBloggers.

• How to earn money from a blog in Nepal?
• Can I make money as a blogger in Nepal?
• How much money can I earn blogging in Nepal?

The short answer is ‘yes’. You can earn money as a blogger in Nepal.

But wait! Don’t get excited yet.

It is a lot difficult to earn money from a blog in Nepal. It takes hard work, effort, and consistency. You might not make any money for months (or years) from your blog.

So here’s a cold hard truth:

If you are starting a blog just to earn money then DON’T do it.

Before we get to the part that tells you how you can earn money blogging in Nepal, let’s get a few things straight.

Don’t Start a Blog

Yes, you heard that right. Don’t start a blog if your only purpose is to earn money. You will not be successful at it. It is a lot harder to make money blogging in Nepal because of the limited revenue streams for blogs.

Instead of focusing on earning money, you should focus on creating valuable content. Build an audience. Give them value. Solve their problems. Make blogging your passion. Do it all for free, at first.

If your focus is only to earn money, the quality of your blog will not be good. But if your focus is to provide value to the people, you will be able to make money from your blog.

Make Blogging Your Passion

When you do something that you love, you will do it without any reward. For example; Let’s say you love to play the guitar. Will you stop playing the guitar if someone tells you that you will not make any money from it? No. You play the guitar because it is your passion. You enjoy the time you spend playing the guitar.

Do the exact same with blogging. Make it your passion. Don’t seek any reward. Do it because you love to do it. When you love doing it, you will learn to be good at it. You will start attracting more traffic to your blog because you are providing value to the people.

Money is the Outcome of Hard Work and Persistence

Again, earning money from a blog in Nepal is hard. It can take years before you earn your income. Even after you start earning money, your income might not be consistent.

Here’s what you need to understand — Money is the outcome of hard work and persistence. Focus on working hard and not giving up.

What does it mean to work hard?

In the case of blogging, it means to make good content and keep making them. For instance, if you are interested in writing articles, keep writing even if nobody is reading them. People might not know about your blog or articles at first—even after you have written 5, 10, 20, or even 100 articles.

But by then, you will have learned a lot of things. Your writing will have improved. Your website will be good. And, you will surely have a lot of views after you have written 100 articles.

Famous YouTuber Casey Neistat said in one of his videos that in the first 5 years of starting his YouTube channel, he had reached 500K subscribers. Then, he started uploading daily. In the next 5 months, he got another 500K subscribers. He kept uploading. Again, in the next 2 months, he got another 500K subscribers. The lesson here is that you have to keep doing what you are doing and never give up. The results will come if you are consistent.

Traffic Equals Money

Understand this: Traffic = Money. The more views you get on your blog, the more money you will be able to earn.

First, focus on making good content that provides value to a lot of people. Next, attract a lot of people to your blog. If your content is good, you will get organic traffic. You can also use marketing strategies like social media marketing, SEO, advertising, email marketing, etc. to attract more people to your blog.

• 8 Simple Ways To Increase Your Blog Traffic – Blogging Tips For Nepali Bloggers

How To Earn Money From A Blog in Nepal?

Okay, this is what you have all been waiting for. Now that you know the cold hard truth, we can begin.

As we said earlier, there are limited income streams to earn money from blogging in Nepal. But you can try whatever is available to you.

Here are some of the ways you can earn money from a blog in Nepal.

1. Advertising

The easiest and the best way to make money is by running ads on your blog. Use the Google Adsense program to do so. Google is the most popular and reliable advertising platform for bloggers in Nepal.

However, it is not easy to run Google Ads on your blog. Why? Because you need to fulfill certain requirements from Google before you can put up ads on your blog. A few important ones are:

• Good content – Create content that is of value to the visitors (we have already said this many times). Write articles that are of at least 800 – 1200 words. Use proper paragraphs, numbering, images, alignments, etc. on your articles. Also, write at least 10 articles before you apply for the Google Adsense program.
• Pages – You must have “About Us”, “Contact”, and “Privacy Policy” pages on your blog.
• Easy-to-use website – Your website should be easy-to-use. Select proper design (theme) for the blog. Also, make it responsive (usable on all devices like smartphones, tablets, and desktop PCs).

As we said earlier, even after you have monetized your blog with Google Adsense, you cannot expect to start earning loads of money right away. Remember, traffic equals money. The more people visit your blog, the more money will you be able to earn.

• How To Get Google Adsense Approval For Your Blog In Nepal?

There are advertisement programs other than Google Adsense as well, like Media.net. You can find more online.

2. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is another way to make money from your blog. It is by promoting the products/services of other businesses in your blog. Whenever a person visits or buys a product/service from your blog, you will receive a commission from it.

To be honest, there are not a lot of affiliate programs in Nepal. Internationally, there are a lot of programs you can sign up for. But because of the problem of payment gateways, the international programs are not applicable to most Nepali bloggers.

The few affiliate programs available in Nepal are:

• Daraz Affiliate Program
• Sabkopasal
• AGM Web Hosting
• Clothing Nepal

You can Google more affiliate programs that are available in Nepal.

More about Affiliate Marketing here.

3. Promotions

You can simply promote other businesses, products, or services on your blog. But there are no specific programs for it.

You will have to reach out to businesses and ask them whether they would like to promote their products/services on your blog. If they agree, you can do it by selling them ad spaces on your blog.

You can also promote them through links, emails, etc. But, like we said, it will not be easy to find businesses that would like to promote on your blog. For this, either your blog must be very popular (with thousands of views per month) or you must build a network that could lead you to potential businesses for advertising on your blog.

You can also sell ad spaces with different ad networks like Buysellads, ad.server online, etc. But you need to fulfill some requirements like the amount of traffic and impressions on your blog. You can use these ad networks once you grow your blog.

4. Other Ways

There are definitely more ways you can monetize your blog like:

• writing paid reviews,
• selling digital products like ebooks,
• creating online courses, etc.

These can be difficult for new bloggers. But, you have to keep your options open and keep working hard.

Takeaways

Don’t start a blog just to earn money. Start it with the purpose of providing value to your audience. Take blogging as a passion. You have to love doing it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve success as a blogger. Money is the outcome of hard work and persistence. Do the work, and don’t give up.

Remember, the more traffic you get, the more money you can earn. You have to make valuable content to attract organic traffic. But you can also use various marketing strategies to get traffic to your blog.

You can earn money from a blog by using advertisement programs like Google Adsense, affiliate marketing, promotions, selling digital products/courses, writing paid reviews, etc.

There are a lot of limitations to earning money blogging in Nepal. Hopefully, in the future, we will be blessed with more ways to earn money blogging. Let’s hope for the best.

Depending on your technical knowledge and your familiarity with blogging, you need to make this decision.

Here, let us explore the different available options to start a blog. Later, you can make your decision accordingly.

Option #1: Start a Free Blog

There are different websites that allow you to create a blog for free. If you are a beginner and you have zero knowledge about blogging, you can go for this option.

The most recommended ones are Blogger.com and WordPress.com.

Again, you will not find a step-by-step tutorial in this article. Why? Because there already are hundreds of articles and videos about creating a free blog on these websites.

We recommend you to go on YouTube and searching for it because it will be a lot easier to understand. Search for:

• How to start a free blog on Blogger.com?
• How to start a free blog on WordPress.com?

Option #2: Write on Free Platforms

A blog is definitely not just about writing articles. It is a lot more than that. This option is for the ones who want to write articles but don’t know how to set up a blog.

There are platforms like Medium.com and LinkedIn.com, where you can write as many articles as you want and share them with others. Plus, it will be a good learning experience for later, when you have your own blog. You can transfer these articles to your own blog as well later.

But if you want to write articles on your own personal blog, then choose Option #3.

Option #3: Start a Professional Blog

This option is for those who are serious about blogging. You need to set up a professional website with a proper domain name for this. You will also need to spend some money to start a professional blog of your own.

We recommend you start with Option #1 if you are not sure about what you are doing.

Here are the things you will be needing to start a professional blog:

1. Domain Name

A domain name is basically the name for your website/blog. For example, the domain name of this website is “nepbloggers.com”. Your domain name should be unique and it should be relatable to your blog’s niche.

To get a domain name, you can search for a company that provides this service. There are a lot of companies in Nepal that provide domain name services. You can Google it. If you want a “.com” domain name, you will have to pay for it. But, if you want a “.com.np” domain name, you can get it for free.

• For the “.com” domain name, you can register with AGM Hosting Nepal here.
• For the “.com.np” domain name, you can register here: https://register.com.np/

2. Web Hosting

You will need web hosting to start a website of your own. In simple (non-technical) terms, web hosting allows you to store your website’s data and makes your website accessible from anywhere.

Again, you can search for companies that provide web hosting services in Nepal. There are a lot of such companies. You might be confused by the different packages they have. Call the hosting companies and ask for their help. Tell them that you want to start a simple blog. They will recommend the best one for you. You can go for the cheapest package available if you are not sure because a simple blog will not require a lot of hosting features.

• You can buy web hosting from AGM Hosting Nepal here.

Most companies provide both domain name and hosting services. It is better to buy both from the same company. But, buying them from different companies will not have any problem.

After you have purchased your hosting, you will receive cPanel credentials from the company.

3. Skill With WordPress, Blogger, or Any Other Platform

This is the most important thing you will need to start a professional blog in Nepal. You have to know how to set up a blog using WordPress, Blogger, or any other platform.

The best and most popular one is WordPress.

There are hundreds of videos on YouTube that will teach you to create a blog using WordPress. Search for these (in the same order):

• How to set up WordPress in cPanel? (Check out our article on installing WordPress to cPanel.)
• How to make a WordPress blog?

What More? Learn.

Now that you know how to start a blog, your next step is to learn. Making a successful blog is about learning. You can not make a perfect blog overnight. It takes time. Have the desire to learn and become persistent.

The reason why we want you to focus on learning is that setting up a good blog cannot happen in an instant. Just because you have fulfilled all the above-mentioned criteria, you will not have a successful blog.

If you are writing articles on your blog, improve your writing. Learn WordPress every day because you can do so much with it. There are hundreds of free WordPress tutorials online. Learn from them. Take the time to study other bloggers – their writing styles, blog designs, the tools they use, their strategies, etc. Follow other successful bloggers because you will learn a lot from them.

Many people want to start a blog in Nepal with the purpose of making money. To be honest, making money blogging in Nepal is not very easy. It takes years of hard work and dedication. Your purpose should be to create valuable content so that your audience will learn something from your blog. Yes, you definitely can earn money blogging in Nepal, but as I said, it is not going to be easy.

Happy blogging!

• How do I start?
• What am I going to make the blog about?
• What kind of content will I be creating?
• Who will be my audience?
• How do I make money from the blog?
• I don’t know how to write articles.
• I don’t know how to set up a website.

Starting a blog seems like a lot of work and quite honestly, it is. But once you get familiar with everything, it becomes easier.

There are many aspiring bloggers and writers in Nepal who want to start a blog of their own. But, they are not able to do so because of these doubts and questions.

This article is for those who are thinking of starting a blog of their own in Nepal. Even though you are clear about what type of blog you want to start, you might still be having some misunderstandings about blogging.

This article is not a tutorial on blogging. It is about clarifying some of the misunderstandings about blogging and the things you need to know before you start a blog.

So, let’s begin…

6 Things You Should Know Before Starting a Blog

1. What is a Blog?

This one is quite obvious. You have to know what a blog is before you start one. In simple terms, a blog is a website where you share information, ideas, thoughts, or suggestions with other people.

Many people have a misunderstanding that a blog is only about writing articles. That is not true. There can be different types of blogs. For instance, a photography blog will include photographs and information related to it. Similarly, a cooking blog will include recipes and cooking lessons. So, do not think that you can start a blog only if you know how to write articles.

2. Purpose

What is your purpose to start a blog? Is it:

• to share your ideas, thoughts, information, or skills with people?
• to help other people by teaching them something of value?
• for personal branding?
• to track your life’s happenings?
• to grow your business?
• just for fun?
• to improve your personal skills?
• to make money?

Identifying your purpose will help you determine what kind of blog you want to start. Why is it important? If you have a purpose, you will know exactly what you are doing. You will know who your target audiences are. For example, if you want to teach people about blogging, you will be making content specific to the topic and targeting a specific type of audience. But, if you are starting a blog for reasons like improving skills or just for fun, you can make any kind of content you like. It might, however, be difficult to attract a specific type of audience to your blog if you do so.

It is recommended to start a blog that provides value to people. Give them genuine information. Teach them something of value. If your purpose is only to make money, for instance, it will not be easy at all. You might have heard that people are making a lot of money blogging so you want to give it a shot. But remember, it takes months (even years) of hard work and consistency to be able to make decent money from blogging. It is even more difficult to make money blogging in Nepal because of reasons like; smaller audience size, limited revenue streams, etc.

3. Interest

It is important to make sure that you are really interested in blogging before you start a blog. Don’t do it just because other people are doing it. They are doing it because they are interested in blogging. Yes, you can try it out to see how blogging works. But if you start to lose interest in it, you better leave it.

After you have decided whether you are interested in blogging or not, be interested also in what you are blogging about. For example, if you have an interest in photography then start a blog on photography. Don’t start a blog on something else just because it is popular. When you do something you are interested in, you are naturally going to enjoy it. And, when you enjoy it, you will become good at it. So stick with whatever it is that you are interested in.

4. Learn. Learn. Learn.

There is only one way to become good at blogging and that is by learning. Learn as much as you can. You will be needing a lot of skills if you want to start a blog. The first skill is setting up a blog. How do you build a website for your blog? Learn it. It is available (for free) on YouTube. Take the time to learn it. Don’t sit there saying, “I don’t know how to make a website.” You can set up a blog in just 10 minutes using WordPress.

“You can learn anything you want for free.” — Elon Musk

But, you have to want to learn it.

Also, learn about your niche. The more you learn, the better your content will become. It will help you attract more audiences to your blog.

You can learn everything, from building a website to making money from a blog, online for free. You only have to be willing to find and learn what you need.

5. Don’t Spend Money Right Away

There is a common myth that to start a blog, you have to spend money. Yes, you do, but only if you want your own domain name and hosting.

If you are not sure about blogging and if you don’t know anything about blogging, it is better that you do not spend money right away.

There are a lot of websites and platforms where you can start a blog for free. These websites allow you to set up a blog, write articles, and promote them for free. The only problem is that you will not be able to have a unique domain name of your own, which is absolutely fine for starters.

Blogger.com, WordPress.com, and Wix.com are some of the popular sites that allow you to create a blog for free.

If you are more into writing articles, you can try out Medium.com and LinkedIn.com. You can write as many articles as you want (for free) on these sites and share them with your audiences.

6. Just Start

Just do it. If you really want to start a blog, don’t overthink. You will never learn it if you don’t start it.

“Someday” is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. —Tim Ferriss, The 4-Hour Work Week

Don’t say that you will do it “someday” because “someday” eventually becomes “never”. If you start and fail, you will at least be able to learn something from it. You will still be ahead of those who did not start.

So the best thing to do would be to start. Seek help if you need it. Find other bloggers who are doing what you want to do. Send them a message. Ask them how they did it. People love to help out other people.

Just start your blog. Doesn’t matter if you use free platforms or paid ones. Do it.

In Conclusion

Starting a blog might be easy, but being consistent is not. It takes a lot of hard work to create a successful blog. You have to know your purpose. You need to provide value to the audience. Making money should not be your priority when you are starting out. Money is the outcome of hard work and persistence. Find something that interests you. Focus on learning. Learn as much as you can. Just start it. The right time is now. Do not expect to start a perfect blog at the beginning. You can’t. You will become perfect as you learn and grow.

Happy blogging!
