Start A Health Blog

A health blog covers ways to live a healthier lifestyle through proper dieting and general information on common health conditions.

To start a health blog, choose a blogging platform that offers customizable templates and pick a reliable hosting platform. Since health is a wide area, you may choose a particular niche or opt to generalize your blog. Then, select a relevant blog name and register the domain.

Finally, brainstorm blog topics, create an editorial calendar, and start writing your first blog. You can earn money through affiliate marketing or promoting your health-focused merchandise or products.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a health blog:
