Blogging Niche Selection
For this method, I will advise you of the following profitable blogging niche-- Technology niche- Although it is very competitive for such types of blogs, the tech domain is recommended as you will get paid posts easily.
- Blogging niche- You can try this as well and cover both technology and blogging stuff like advertising networks, content services, etc. You’ll get several advertisers looking for links and posts from your blog.
- Software Niche- Software related blogs can also work best as you may get many posts for software from different segment like VPN software, PDF related software, and much more. The only issue with this niche is, whenever in the future, you may want to continue with that blog for the long term, it will be comparatively difficult to rank.
- Or the niche which you are interested in and think advertisers will be interested to buy the links and posts.
What I did: I selected a blogging niche domain which was having topics like blogging, technology, and software earlier as well.
Search Expired Domain
This is the main step as the more powerful domain you will get the more money you will be able to make. You can even start with a fresh domain but in that case, you will have to work for months to increase its metrics like DA (Domain Authority), PA (Page Authority), Spam Score (Make it as low as possible), Backlinks, etc.>> How to find expired domain free

- Should have some good backlinks (500+)
