Dreaming to make $1000+ month is great if you don’t make that sort of money from your blog, but many successful bloggers make more than that from their blog. This passive income can only be generated by Build Value of yours and your blogs.
Building value of any sorts takes time. Specially if you want to make a passive income.
There are some rules and with combination of simple tools to acheive the dreams of making a passive income from your blog.
Begin with the Right Set of mind. It’s always good to walk through the process of the customer journey in reverse. A right and optimised set of minds will definitely help you acheive your goal much quicker without diffusing your dreams in the middle. Though making $1000 a month takes time, but once you acheived that, its just keeps flowing.
You must have the right ingredients. Many new Bloggers monstly newbies jumps on niche without proper research of that niche & how and what is going to help them acheive that. Recent studies says that, new bloggers keep shifting their niches in hope of making more money from the rumours/true news they hear from others.
You must have the Time: I remember I kept saying to my friends and families that i dont have time for any other thing, which was due to I took 3 projects at a time, and none completed on time. So, even my projects were delayed, I postponed 2 other projects and focused my complete time and efforts on the 1st projects and to the surprise, i completed though the new deadline, although i missed the earlier deadline. So have the Time for 1 thing at a Time.
It must be the Right Time: As in above i kept saying i dont have time, the reason was simple i took extra projects then i could complete within my time frame. And so I learned the Right Time, the right time for the right thing, which definetly helped me to complete my every projects in time. Ask around, look around, question anyone who has put in time and effort in building something of value, you will see it took great amount of dedicated and many many months.
Sale of Products: How much do you get for every item sold? How many visitors do you need per sale to generate $1000? If doing affiliate marketing, use the avg. sale for this (though realize that this is easier, it is almost always 100x more traffic for the same revenue).

Moreover Bluehost doesn’t let overuse of their servers, so their server are always up & many professional bloggers use Bluehost.

It can be anything from electronic product to food products ( Have a brainstorm session with your friends). Use Google Adwords Keyword tool. Search the term and find related keywords.
Keywords: Although SEO experts say that keywords are no longer used and valuable, But i doubt, its not only me its many after all google use the keywords to search and provide your results Search for keywords with monthly search traffic between 3000-5000 with low/medium competition and high CPC ($2+). NoteL Competition is used for Advertisers bidding on that particular keyword, dont confuse it with traffic competition.
Getting the Domain: Purchase the domain with that keyword in it. Your domain name should be unique but also it must be easy to remember. Domains that are unique and easy to remember are often liked by the readers to revisit the blog.
