How to Make Money from Blogging in 2025 (Complete Guide)

Why it’s still profitable to blog in 2025

For more than ten years, people have said “blogging is dead.” Then again, it’s 2025, and posting is still going strong in new ways. I’ve noticed something interesting: people are interested in short pieces of content like TikTok videos and Instagram reels, but blogs are still the most important source of trust and search exposure online.

Do you just scroll through TikTok when you need to find the best laptop for work in 2025 or learn how to start an online business? Not at all. You type it into Google. Most of the time, you end up on a blog.

Blogs are still useful because:

• Deep information is great for search engines.
• When it comes to big decisions like money, health, or technology, people trust written advice more.
• Unlike social media accounts, which can be deleted at any time, blogs let you build something that you own.

There are people I know who started writing as a hobby in 2023 and now make a living from it full-time (2025). Some bloggers even made over $10,000 a month by adding digital goods or YouTube videos to their blogs.

Yes, it is worth it to blog in 2025 if you do it right. That’s what this book is all about. To help you make money from your blog, I’ll show you how to do it step by step and use examples from real life.

Let’s get started.

Step 1: Pick a niche that will make you money.

The niche you choose will decide how much money you make in the future. A blog that doesn’t have a clear niche is like a shop that sells all sorts of things: it’s hard to remember, confusing, and profitable.

How to Find a 2025 Niche That Will Make You Money

1. Balance between passion and making money

Both are important. You’ll stay inspired to write if you write about something you love, but people must also be willing to pay money for it.

For example:

• If you’re interested in “plant care,” you can make money with affiliate links, plant tools, and gardening classes.
• But it’s harder to make money with a niche like “collecting bottle caps.”

2. Check the market demand.

Use these free tools:

• Check Google Trends to see if people are looking for your subject.
• You can use Ubersuggest or Ahrefs (phrase demand).
• Check to see if people ask questions in your field on Reddit and Quora.

3. Niche Markets That Will Still Work in 2025

• Personal finance and investing (side jobs, AI tools for planning, and crypto in 2025).
• Weight loss, mental health, and biohacking are all topics in health and fitness.
• AI software reviews and tools for working from home are part of Tech & AI Tools.
• Spending less on trips in Asia and working from home are two examples of travel.
• Education & Career (online classes, skill-building, freelancing).

4. Looking into competition

Do not be afraid of competition; it means that money is coming in. Look at how you can stand out instead.

👉 Case Study: In 2022, a blogger I follow started a site with the theme of “AI tools for writers.” By 2024, his blog was getting 100,000 visitors a month and making $12,000 a month from affiliate links to AI software.

Step 2: Make sure your blog is set up correctly

Why this is important ? Your blog is where you live online. People will leave if it takes a long time to load, breaks often, or looks unpleasant. You will lose money.

Things You Need to Set Up in 2025

1. Domain Name

Make sure it’s short, easy to remember, and fits your field. FitLifeDaily.com is an example.

2. Hosting Provider

A bad host makes a site load slowly, which means you lose visitors. Top picks for 2025 are:

Tip: Always pick hosting that comes with SSL, backups, and help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

3. Install WordPress

Even in 2025, WordPress is still the best tool for blogging. More than 40% of pages run on it. It’s easy to change, good for SEO, and comes with all the tools you need.

4. Pick a Theme

• Astra and GeneratePress are free themes.
• Divi and Kadence are two premium themes.
• Keep it simple and quick, and don’t add too many fancy designs.

👉 Don’t worry if you’re not good with technology. I have put up easy, step-by-step guides on how to set up WordPress blogs on our YouTube channels, Preet Tech Ideas (English) and Preet WebXP (Hindi).

Step 3: Writing Content That Actually Gets Views

Why this is very important? Blogs need visitors to stay alive. To get visitors, you need to have good material that helps people.

How to Write Blog Posts That Will Still Get Ranks in 2025

1. Keyword Research

• Some tools you can use are Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and Ubersuggest.
• Pay attention to long-tail terms like “best budget AI writing tools 2025.”

2. Follow the E-E-A-T Principle

Google looks for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. Add your personal touch and sources.

The kind of content that will work in 2025

• How-to Guides (like this one).
• Listicles (Top 10 …).
• Comparisons (WordPress vs Wix in 2025).
• Case Studies & Reviews.

4. Advice on Writing

• Use both long and short words.
• Add subheadings to make it easier to read.
• Use tables and bullet points to break up the text.
• Add your own notes, like “I failed horribly the first time I tried this, but here’s what I learned.”

• Title: Best Travel Credit Cards for 2025
• Intro: Why travel cards matter in 2025.
• Section 1: What’s new in 2025 travel cards?
• Section 2: Top 5 cards (with comparison table).
• Section 3: Tips to maximize rewards.
• Conclusion: My recommendation.

Step 4: Driving Traffic in 2025

What this means: No traffic means no money. What you write is only useful if people read it.

Main Sources of Traffic

1. Search Engine Optimization, or SEO

• Optimize for Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE), which is driven by AI.
• If you want better snippets, use schema markup.
• Directly answering questions in your writing is good for voice search.

2. Pinterest

• Lifestyle, food, travel, and do-it-yourself blogs are still doing well.
• Idea Pins with short movies do the best in 2025.

3. YouTube

Add videos to your blog. One example would be a blog post called “How to Start a Blog in 2025” and another would be a step-by-step video on YouTube.

4. Marketing with Email

• Start right away by making an email list.
• Give away things for free, like a short eBook or a list.
• You can make $500 to $2,000 a month with just 1,000 members.

Case Study: A finance writer I know only gets about 20,000 visitors a month, but she advertised over 15,000 email subscribers and made over $10,000 a month.

Step 5: Proven Ways to Make Money in 2025 by Blogging

Why this is important: This is where the fun starts: making money with words.

Main Monetization Methods

1. Marketing for Affiliates

You can make money by recommending products.

• Impact, ShareASale, Awin, and Amazon Associates will be the best networks in 2025.
• For instance, a writer who promotes AI tools can make $50 to $200 per signup.

2. Display ads

Google AdSense, Mediavine, and Ezoic are some networks.

• Pay range: $10 to $30 per 1,000 views, based on area.

3. Sponsored Posts

• Brands pay to be seen.
• $100 to $300 per post for small blogs.

4. Digital Products

E-books, courses, templates, or printables. High profit margins, and once created, they sell 24/7.

5. Freelance Services

Give advice, write, or create. A blog helps people trust you and brings in customers.

Step 6: Making more money from your blog

This is important because the next step is to make thousands of dollars once you’re making $100 to $500 a month.

Strategies for Growth

1. Outsource content

You could pay $30 to $50 per post to independent writers so you can focus on advertising.

2. Get money from more than one source.

Use more than just ads or links; mix them up.

3. Make smart use of AI tools

You can speed up your writing with tools like Jasper, SurferSEO, or Grammarly, but you should always add your own style.

4. Networking & Collaborations

You can guest post on other blogs, be on shows, and work with other people on YouTube.

👉 Story: My friend went from making $2,000 a month in 2023 to $12,000 a month in 2025 by hiring someone else to write 70% of her content and starting her own online course.

Step 7: Common Mistakes You Should Not Make

This is important because mistakes cost time and money.

• Making random things without a plan.
• Not doing basic SEO.
• Expecting results right away.
• Copying what other people do instead of finding your own style.
• Not using email ads.

Real Example: I met a writer who wrote 200 posts a year but didn’t pay much attention to SEO. A result? Not even 500 visits a month. After I fixed the SEO, every day over 20,000 people came to the site.
