Every parents are worried about job and future security and money. Show them your stats and educate them about future of working from home.

Income from blog:-

According to my personal experience in first few month do not expect any income from blogging. First of all you have to post at least 15-20 creative and unique blogs .Then you can start making good income from your blog .You should give advantage to online business. You should have an income coming from stable source like Google Ad-sense and other ad network. Never consider affiliate income as stable income. Some time it gives you good and sometime nothing.

If you want to become an entrepreneur but do not have Funding opportunity for starting your company, you could start with blogging. Blogging is not just about writing; it is a complete business that involves in-depth understanding of a topic (domain), digital marketing, and sales.

With blogging, you learn the art of content marketing. There are some companies that became successful based on content marketing only. Similarly, you can build your future business based on your content marketing skills; I know people who have taken up blogging as a full-time career & now a days have successful business model.

Should have courage:-

Most people can’t do new things?  Just because they lack motivation and self-confidence.You need to come out from comfort zone and give try new things. Blogging is one of those risk-free thing. Where you don’t have to lose anything if you fail in it. Later on you can decide it as full-time or part time career.

Now you have clarity about your niche, but you are struggling with getting traffic which is most important. And also main reason why most bloggers fail. They write fantastic content but struggle with average footfall on their blog.

To become a successful blogger you have to learn basics of Internet marketing. There are so many blogs and videos available on internet about content marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), social media optimization (SMO), productivity, and growth hacks.
