I am really new to marketing online. I'd like to start up a blog and ideally make some decent money with AdSense on it. Any advice on what type of site - I don't want to small of a niche or too big that will get lost in the masses. Also, I assume you can add this with a wordpress blog type site. That's about as advanced as I am at the moment. Thanks for any input!
Do some major Niche research that pays well. Something newer and that advertisers would pay a lot for. Once you have a high paying niche in site, then do some more keyword research, narrow the niche using long-tailed keywords for highest traffic and highest payout. Create a lot of sticky content that would entice people to come to your site - Quality information - but also give your visitors a reason for continuing on to click on your ads (i'm not saying asking them to click) I am saying provide a solution on your website, but not the total solution perhaps.
I also want some tips, I have adsense with good website but little low traffic. How to increase income?
The tips above about insurance sites are good, but you will want to have pro level content. You will also need to target geo areas like local large metro areas with content designed for each. Built over time it has proven to be a good niche. Using offline reading materials from some of these larger insurance companies is another good tip, this means it not been used online and is considered unique content. Re-writing this into your site content is good.
I got one for yeah try entertainment blogging like movie, fashion, sports, games, news story and much more. Now a days everyone are interesting in entertainment stuff, it a great way to start off increasing traffic and income
you should write about something you know about or are passionate about, if you start a blog on a particular niche you have very little knowledge of, there are very rare chances that you'll succeed....and for type of site Blogger will be the best free option and wordpress if you can manage hosting.....good luck
Holidays can bring lot of traffic to your site, my suggestion is to start with haloween and chrismas and you will have good amount of money at the end of the year.
My suggestion: Create a blog of your own interest or select niche in which you are expert. Or you can do the alternative. Select a good niche by researching trends and then make yourself expert on that.
I have visited the site. Its a nice one. Yes its definitely good for adsense. However I can see you already have adesnse. Please let us know about your earning.
