Lifestyle of a successful blogger is itself the smart life style. If a blogger want to live a boss free life like a blogger than he should have complete focus on blog niche. Find a real monetizable niche and start your blog around it.

There is one big mistake that most of the newbie bloggers make that they depend upon only one source of income such as Adsense only. There is no doubt that Adsense is one of the best contextual ad network, but it is more good if you try to monetize every single option which is related to your blog niche.

8. How can you convince parents to support children in blogging?

If you talk about my family, I must say I am lucky person. Because before I ever realized that I can make money from internet, my family started telling me that people can make money from internet, though they didn`t knew how people were doing that. My family always supported me to do what I want to with 100% faith.

Still in India everyone is not that lucky. Kids find it hard to convince their parents to let them do full time or even part time blogging. Mostly parent`s point is that they do not feel like job security in online work.

But here I should tell you that it is your life and it is your time. If you do not make the decision on right time you will lose your chance forever. When you are successful, your parents also follow you on the same path.

Who wants to work under a yelling Boss and cage like atmosphere?

9. What are your favourite ways to get maximum traffic?

2) Also share in blogging communities like scoop.it, buzsugar etc.

3) Blogger outreach is also helpful as it get you more views and get your content shared more.

11. What are the big blogging mistakes? How to avoid them?

Choosing a wrong or some poor hosting service is the mistake which most of the bloggers do. It is a common dilemma that cheap is good, but in reality what is best, can never go cheap. If web hosting is not good, then blog can penalized by Google.

The second mistake what most of the bloggers make is ignoring SEO. Wrong niche, wrong keywords, and optimization mistakes give bad impact on blog ranking. So don`t do these mistakes.

Making money blogging is not an impossible thing, if you know how to be brand and be successful. Always focus on your niche and target audience, create fresh and evergreen content, share wisely on social networks and analyze the performance of your blog.
