Friend 1 (Dreamer): Bro I'm quitting my job. I'm going to become a blogger. 💻✌️ Friend 2 (The Realist): Oh my God. No other. What happened? Did you watch the YouTube video titled "How I Made ₹1 Lakh a Week Blogging"? Friend 1: Exactly. The guy was in Bali, drinking coconut water, working 3 hours a week. I want that kind of life. 🌴🥥 Friend 2: You know that "working 3 hours a week" means "wrote 60 articles in 3 months, cried, questioned his existence, and lived on instant noodles," right? Friend 1: Come on. It can't be that hard. I just pick a niche like… "How to become a millionaire in your 20s." Friend 2: Oh, perfect. Teach people something you haven't done yourself. Classic move. 😂 Friend 1: Okay, then I'll write about food. I love food. Brilliant, found something special. Friend 2: If eating Maggi at 2 am is a special thing, then you're golden. Call your blog "Late Night Culinary Crimes". 😆 Friend 1: Wait I really like it… but okay, real talk. How do I start a blog? Friend 2: Easy. Step 1: Buy a domain Step 2: Set up WordPress or Blogger Step 3: Choose a great theme Step 4: Cry because your theme doesn't look like the demo Step 5: Write your first post titled "I have no idea what I'm doing but here we go" Friend 1: Very true 😭 Okay, but how do I make money? Friend 2: Yes yes, the million-rupee question. You have: 👉 Ads (hello, Google Adsense!) 👉 Affiliate marketing (i.e. selling other people's stuff as if it were your own) 👉 Sponsored posts (once you're Insta-famous, of course) 👉 Selling your own products (like… a course on how you made ₹100 from blogging 😅) Friend 1: Wow, that's a lot. So isn't blogging a get-rich-quick scheme? Friend 2: No. This is the "if you don't quit and learn SEO, you'll eventually get rich" plan. Friend 1: Okay, you scared me and inspired me at the same time. Where can I learn all this? Friend 2: You're in luck. I found this site - www.learniux.in - it's like a blogging school, but free, and it doesn't make you scream at me in a big way. Friend 1: Yeah. That's what I want. A calm blog teacher. Thanks buddy. I'm going to blog when I go to Bali. 🏝️ Friend 2: Just remember: coconut water is refreshing, but consistency pays the bill. 😎

[Scene: A dramatic 1-on-1 with my blog over coffee ☕] Me: Hey blog, it's time to talk. Blog: Oh, not again. Did I crash? Did I write something wrong? Me: No… bad. I checked my bank account. Where's the money you promised? 😐 Blog: Ah. The "I want to quit my job and blog full-time" conversation. Classic. Me: Don't act innocent. You told me bloggers make thousands a month. I even bought a ring light. 💡 Blog: And I gave you 3 loyal readers. One of them is your mom. Me: She unsubscribed last week. She said I post too much. Blog: Oh. But seriously, it's a long game. You need strategy, SEO, value-packed content— Me: I literally wrote a post titled “Top 5 Productivity Hacks” and included a photo of my cat sleeping. 🐱 Blog: Yeah. Inspirational stuff. But maybe less fluff and more search-friendly keywords? Me: Okay. So what’s the real answer? How much do bloggers actually make? Blog: It depends. Some make $0. Some make $10,000/month. It’s not magic — it’s effort + niche + smart monetization. Me: So if I write 100 blog posts, will I get rich? Blog: If each post brings value, targets the right people, and you promote it well… maybe. But if you list your top 10 favorite snacks again, maybe not. 🍟🍩🍫 Me: Rude. Blog: Honest. Me: Okay. I'll try harder. More value. Better SEO. Focused niche. Blog: That's the spirit. Oh, and stop checking AdSense every 5 minutes. It won't grow any faster just because you refreshed it. Me: 😒 Blog: 😎 🎯 The point of the story: Blogging can make you an income—but it's not instant ramen. It's more like a slow-cooking stew of success. 🥘 If you're just starting your blogging journey, have realistic expectations, learn what actually works, and give it time. Also, maybe don't fight your blog publicly. Or do it. That's good content. 🔗 Read real numbers and income examples at www.learniux.in.
