This guide will walk you through everything from scratch: choosing a platform, setting up your blog, optimizing for SEO, and getting approved for Google AdSense.

• Other ways to earn money from your blog

Step 1: Choose the Right Blogging Platform#

The platform you choose determines how much control, flexibility, and earning potential your blog has. Here are the two best options for Nepali bloggers in 2025.

Option A: Blogger.com — Best for Absolute Beginners (Free)#

Blogger is a free blogging platform owned by Google. You sign up with your Gmail account and get a free subdomain like yourblog.blogspot.com.

Pros:

• Completely free — no hosting or domain costs
• Backed by Google, so it is reliable and secure
• Easy to connect with Google AdSense
• No technical knowledge required to get started

Cons:

• Limited design customization compared to WordPress
• Your blog lives on Google's servers — you do not fully own it
• The blogspot.com subdomain looks less professional
• Fewer plugins and growth tools available

Best for: Students and beginners who want to test blogging before investing money.

Option B: WordPress.org — Best for Serious Bloggers (Recommended)#

WordPress.org is the world's most popular blogging and website platform, powering over 43% of all websites globally. It is free software, but you need to pay for hosting and a domain name.

Pros:

• Full control over your website design and functionality
• Thousands of free and premium themes and plugins
• Better SEO capabilities with plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math
• More professional appearance, which helps with AdSense and brand deals
• You fully own your content and website

Cons:

• Requires purchasing hosting (approximately NPR 800–2,000/year) and a domain (approximately NPR 1,200–1,500/year for .com)
• Slightly more setup involved than Blogger

2025 Hosting Recommendation for Nepal: Look into Subisu, WebSurfer Nepal, or Hostinger (international, affordable). Many offer Nepal-based payment options including eSewa and Khalti.

Step 2: Set Up Your Blog#

Setting Up on Blogger (Free)#

1. Go to blogger.com and sign in with your Google account.
2. Click Create New Blog.
3. Enter a blog title that reflects your niche (e.g., "Nepal Travel Tips" or "Tech Reviews Nepal").
4. Choose a URL — pick something short, memorable, and relevant.
5. Select a template or skip and customize later.

After setup, do these immediately:

• Go to Settings → Basic and add a clear blog description.
• Go to Settings → Search Preferences → Meta Tags and enable the meta description field.
• Add this robots.txt under Search Preferences → Custom Robots.txt:
