How I’m Using AI to Build a Blog and Earn Online

🧠 Why This Post?

If you’ve ever thought,

“Can I actually make money online with AI, without being an expert?” You’re not alone. I thought the same thing.

This post isn’t a dream-board or a list of “10 side hustles.” It’s my actual journey: how I started a blog from scratch using AI tools, what I use daily, and how I plan to monetize it step-by-step, no fluff, no fake numbers.

🚀 What I’ve Done So Far (All Free Tools)

Here’s where I’m at after a few weeks of consistent effort:

• ✅ Launched TechByAdarsh.com using Hashnode

• ✅ Wrote & published 5 full blog posts

• ✅ Designed visuals with Canva & Leonardo AI

• ✅ Drafted content using ChatGPT, Notion AI

• ✅ Researched smarter with Perplexity AI

• ✅ Grew early traction via Twitter/X and Google Search Console

All of this was done without spending a single rupee.

Here’s how.

These are the exact tools I use right now:

I’m still on the free plan for all of these, and they’re enough to start.

💡 Why Blogging Instead of Freelancing or YouTube?

Simple:

✅ I control the platform

✅ I build long-term SEO value

✅ I grow as I learn

✅ No pressure of clients or deliverables

Plus, unlike short-term side hustles, a blog is an asset.

Each post = a chance to get discovered for years.

💸 So How Will I Monetize This?

Here’s my plan to earn through this blog in the coming months:

1. Google AdSense (after I hit minimum post/views benchmark)

2. Affiliate links for tools I genuinely use

3. Notion templates + digital products

4. Newsletter + audience building → future sponsorships

5. Possibly launching a “zero to blog” guide later for beginners

But first, it’s all about consistency, value, and trust.

That’s what I’m focusing on now.

• Writing online consistently is a superpower.

• AI is a multiplier, not a replacement for your voice.

• You don’t have to be an expert. Just share what you learn.

• Start now. Polish later.
