How to Start Blogging in 2017: Build a Brand & Earn Passive Income

I started my first blog almost 2 years ago and since then I write articles or promote startups about 3-4 times a week. It has been a great learning experience in terms of creating a blog from scratch, learning advanced SEO, how to market my posts on social media and interact with influencers from various industries. Blogging has done great things for my business and has opened up a number of opportunities for me that wouldn't have happened if I didn't start the blog.

As I learned on the go I kept making notes on the best practices of blogging. I sure did make quite a few mistakes as well but with trial and error, I learned what to do and what not to do.

In this ebook I will share my experiences with you, so you can also start your own blog, build a brand and also earn passive income. Yes, you can also earn money while blogging. In the first 3 months, I didn't make a dime and I got disheartened and was about to quit. But a small voice in my head said just keep going and let's see what happens. Within 2 months I made my first $300 from the blog. Do you know how amazing that felt? It was liberating and I knew I could keep doing this.

In this ebook, I will guide you how to start the blog and answer important questions that you will be asking yourself as you grow. I wish I had this book when I started.
