Hi friends, my name is Shubham Baghel. I am a full-time Blogger from India. Today, I will talk about top 10 popular bloggers in India and their success story how they become successful?
If you know them, then you can also grab inspiration to make money online. These all bloggers are not a superhero. They are normal human like you and me who are making huge money only through blogging.
Bloggers earn a lot of money with their independent passion. In recent days, blogging has been growing also in India. But still, it needs to grow. As yet, mostly Indian society people don't know about what is blogging.
I wrote this article in order that I will help to motivate every newbie blogger who going to start blogging as a full time/part time career.
Note- The numbers of this table are not defining bloggers level.

Blogging can be the best full-time career. There is no need to any degree, diploma, and certificate. But there is the need only passion. Inside of this, if you are a blogger, so you can earn countless money like Neil Patel, Brian Dean without any kind of investment.
For example, if you want to become your career as a doctor, engineer, etc. But in this field, you will lose much money with priceless year's duration.
But there is no guarantee you will make a doctor or engineer and you will get a job that you want to do.
If you want to make your career as a blogger, so you can earn a lot of money without investing anything. Day to day you will be learning something new in your own home.
I have seen many highly qualified doctors and engineer who can't make huge money than a blogger. We see many governments or private employees who frustrated from their job, but they can't resign.
Some Government employee earns money through illegal ways as they don't satisfy from their income and work. But even they aren't able to earn much money and sometimes they caught with mischief, and expose.
There isn't need to go out to the office, coaching, and college, etc., in this career. You will be making money in your own home or that place where you feel comfortable.
"In this field, you will not be heard boss sarcasm. You will be your own boss.

Success Story: Amit Agarwal is the first Indian blogger, who made a different opportunity of earning to India through the way of blogging.
He has started blogging since 2004 but beginning days of his blogging career were very hard, people were didn't know what is blogging and "blog" word wasn't superscription.
When he was going to the party. People ask what you do? Amit was saying "I write a blog and make money from the blog", so people were didn't believe that he earns through a blog. In that time, blogging was not a famous career option and Blogger word was heard like an "Allien word".
When he attained engineering degree in computer science from I.I.T. After that, he had worked with many top-notch companies like ADP Inc. But Amit wanted to start his own venture, but he was not an idea of how to start a successful business?
To complete his dream, he left his job and moved to Agra and after that he has had two options first, work with local marketeer (Baniya) community and create accounting an inventory management software for them but in this field, they weren't paying
Hence he didn't do this work and now he has a second option is - find some freelance job on the Internet, so he has created a blog and writing all of his achievements on that blog. By the help of that blog, he tries to find International clients.
But he didn't get any clients and one day his father bought a printer. After which he wrote an article about that printer and that article had ranked 1 on the Google, this single article was getting a lot of traffic on Amit's blog. And many people were wanting to buy that printer.
After which Amit has been starting writing about software tips and tricks. Whereby his website was improving the traffic and meanwhile he put Google Adsense ads on his blog. And he was earning a lot of money through Google Adsense program.
He has seen a big shock in the bloggers' industry, when the Indian government took an action cause of Mumbai 7-eleven blast (Whereby a series of train blast in Mumbai). All websites who were running with a Blogspot domain name were blocked because mostly blogspot.com domain name had written about religious content.
So the cause of this order several popular websites in this country were blocked.
Why his website becomes popular?
One reason is probably he was the person in India who was writing a blog as a profession, so people were curious how this guy is writing a blog and therefore many people were checking his blog regularly.
The second was he was writing a technology blog and during that time there were not enough technology blogs in the country and the world.
Amit's blogging secrets:
1. Extreme focus and consistency- He has been blogging since 2004. But now he even loves his work and after all these years he extreme focuses on stuff and consistently he does work.
2. Content matters- We know the content is always king. Without content, the website cannot get traffic. If you look at his blog carefully, then you may get surprised to know that he has written more than 6,000 valuable articles.
3. Write evergreen content.
4. Time matters- He has been doing quality work as fast as possible.
5. Quality presentation- Labnol has a list of professional and unique content. Use PDF, self-made video, power point presentation, Google docs, etc., to make the article more professional and creative.
6. Neat layout and clean design- Design of Labnol is very simple and professional.
7. Less distraction- You may have heard the first impression is the last impression. If you check out any pro blogger blog, so you can be noticed that their blog is less destructive and they focus on content. If you put many ads and sharing buttons may lose your valuable readers.

Success Story: By the way, Harsh is an engineer by the education, but he is a pro blogger by profession. When he started blogging as a full-time career, that time his parents was against it.
But he was doing it as a listened to heart. After he is making good money by his passion.
He has created a large blog network in which included very effective blogs like Shoutmeloud, WPhostingdiscount, ShoutMeTech, WPSutra, CoinSutra.
Harsh Agarwal has started his blogging journey since September 2008. Before he was doing a job as an engineer and he was frustrated with that job. In earlier days, he was started his blog just for fun and those days
He earned first online income $10 via helping a guy resolving his WordPress error at digital point forum.
Initially days, he was more interested in network and security, hence he wanted to buy a domain name "Underground World", which was already taken, so he simply chose a domain name vergintech.blogspost.com (I really laughed when I heard about it).
Harsh earned his first blogging income $ 40 in the first month. When he made $ 40 through Google Adsense, so he decided to do blogging as a full-time career. In March of 2009, he left his full-time job of 6 months.
After three months, he was getting good results from the website, so he thought about investing in his blog.
After which he migrated his blog from Blogger to WordPress and bought a domain name.
By the end of three months, he had aware of the importance of branding of a blog. And he chose a domain name "Shoutmeloud.com", the cause of his uniqueness.
How ShoutMeLoud found its niche?
Initially days, Harsh was written
Later on, he started writing about blogging &WordPress based article on his blog (That's based on Harsh experiences and experiment).
People were liking that stuff and keep continue liking, so thus ShoutMeLoud found its niche.
And since that, he is working full time as a blogger, but he truly satisfied with this job.
One day (on June 29, 2009), he met an accident and this was changed harsh life completely, his leg had badly hurt the cause of this accident.
And the doctors put harsh for bed rest for 6 months. During this incident he couldn't have moved his leg, so he dedicated his 100% to blogging. Since that, he had nothing else to do.
During that time, he spent almost 14 hours a day in front of the laptop. Those 6 months changed everything in his life and given a new direction. In those months he studied about many top blogs and how they succeeded?
Is Good to make a website with a partnership?
Harsh has a very bad experience for partnership. Around January of 2011, he made a blog with Pune-based blogger. During that time, he thought we both will take blogging and Internet marketing to the next level in India.
But one day, his partner cheated harsh and he shifted back to Delhi to start his own venture. One thing he learned from this experience is, should try to avoid partnership until last.
If you have any compulsion for partnership, so complete the paperwork
He has a dream. He wants to make blogging as a full-time business and set it as an industry in India.
And he sure that one day I will have a big office and many bloggers will be writing on their blogs sitting in their office.
According to the ShoutMeLoud income report of July 2017, he made $ 52,434 in July month in which team expense $ 12,670 is included.
If we see the ShoutMeLoud income report without team expense, so he made $ 39,764 in a July month.
When Harsh was doing someone's job, then he was making nearly $ 10,000 in a year, but he made nearly $ 52,764 in a month that more than fivefold from a year salary.
