Tip 3: Buying a domain & Hosting
It is an important factor in event blogging. Hypothetically, if you are preparing for ICC World Cup 2023 and you book a domain www.icccricketworldcup2023.com then there’s none in the world who is luckier than you. It covers the motive of your event and double the chances of your event a success. However, it is not possible to get the exact domain so you can try with relative domain which represents your event. For example, I got https://theseoguy.in as my domain because I wanted to be the SEO Guy. If you are lucky enough and get the traffic on your blog then you need a good hosting to cater those many visitors. Don’t get into any cheap hosting because if your blog would crash during the peak, you will lost traffic and will not be able to generate good amount.
Tip 4: Content Creation
Creating or generating content is most important part of any kind of blogging. And if you are doing event blogging then you should know the importance of content. Try to generate original and interesting content to keep your users engaged. Do not stuff your articles with keywords. Focus on quality and try not to copy from other resources. Always write the original and genuine information with added flavour of interesting facts. It will keep the interest between your blog visitors and help you to get lesser bounce rate and higher engagement and money.
Tip 5: Create Privacy Policy, Contact us and Diclaimer Page
Creating these pages would help you to get your blog monetized easily because you must have these pages if you are applying for Google Adsense. If you don’t have these pages, you might not get approval to monetize your blog. It creates a trust between your blog and search engines so you should always have these pages on your blog while applying for monetization.
Tip 6: Take your time in research and create social pages to share your blog articles
When I said take your time, it means start working at least before 50-60 days before the event and publish your blog because domain age is one of the trust factor and can help you in getting SERP results. Create social pages and encourage people to visit your blog and read the blog posts.
Tip 7: Generate high quality backlinks for your blog
Having quality backlinks would always help you to rank high. But while building backlinks, do remember that you only focus on quality instead of quantity. Here is how to create High Quality Backlinks. I’ve written an article earlier on this information. You can follow the steps to build high quality backlinks for your blog.

Tip 9: Find or create catchy images
Using catchy and interesting images is always important while representing your content. If you are writing a long article then user might feel monotonous and close the web. But representing the content with interesting graphics would help you to handle this situation. If you are good at graphics and it is an advantage for you but if not then pick the free images.
