What is a health blog
Health blogs are niche blogs that cover content that revolves around health-related topics and the health industry. Health bloggers can cover any topic related to health, and they can cover medical issues as well.
Health bloggers must do heavy research on the health topic they wish to write about as there can be misleading information from various health blogs.
Here are some health blogs to consider:

Health Blog | Health Food Matters |
| About | Eating should be an enjoyment. Unfortunately, as our parents get older, they lose their teeth and their jaw muscles get weaker. This makes it hard to chew/swallow many types of food. It’s all part of normal ageing. These gradual changes often result in mealtime difficulties but tend to go unnoticed by family members until illness strikes. Sometimes, the elderly may also have dietary restrictions due to chronic conditions like diabetes, Parkinson’s, kidney disease etc. All these can cause poor appetite and eventually, malnutrition. That’s why it’s so important to recognise that our elderly are different from us and make sure that they have food that’s suitable for them. Health Food Matters’ products were developed with this concept in mind. Their elder-friendly food looks good and tastes good. Most importantly, they provide your loved ones with the nutrition that they need in order to stay strong, healthy, and happy. |

Common health niches
Food recipes
One of the beginner-friendly health niches is sharing your food recipes with your readers. Food recipes are one of the closest topics to heart for most health blog readers as it is something they can quickly whip up at home and incorporate into their daily lifestyle. Health bloggers usually focus more on healthy food recipes such as home-cooked recipes instead of commercial recipes.
Fitness
Health and fitness often go hand in hand together. Fitness topics can range from simple exercises to exercises that are of greater difficulty and advanced level. Yoga is a popular fitness niche among health bloggers. Health bloggers can also create training videos on their fitness workouts and share tips and tricks on how to improve their workout sessions.
Medical advice
Medical advice health blogs are more common among health bloggers who are medical professionals themselves and have certified credentials in their education. Health bloggers in the medical advice niche can choose to specialise in one specific area or give general medical advice. Medical topics can range from health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure to why men should go for regular health screening.
Diets and nutritions
Diets and nutrition are topics that are highly associated with health blogs. Many health bloggers choose to specialise in this niche and break down the different nutritions present in daily and commercial food. They can also share their personal experiences on specific diets they have tried and create content which interviews various experts in the field, such as dieticians and nutritionists.
Meditation
Health bloggers who are advocates of meditation can choose to specialise in the meditation niche. They can share their experiences with meditation, the benefits of meditation, and how to get started with meditation.
Skills needed to be a health blogger
A health blogger or any blogger is not just a writer. They are also a researcher, a marketer, and a social media expert. To build brand awareness, health bloggers must put in substantial effort to grow their audience and follow, especially since their target audience is not everyone. As a health blogger, you need to fact-check your health topics so that your blog will be a credible source of information. You will also need to have fantastic writing skills to turn factual medical issues into engaging blog posts.
How to set up a health blog
Think of a name for your health blog
Names that are associated with health blogs are usually professional ones. You can come up with creative names that are related to specific health terms.
Choose your platform
There are many platforms available for you to host your website on. Some of the most popular platforms include WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace. Choosing a subscription plan can also help you minimise costs and offer security features to protect your health blog.
Create an about page
The most important aspect of health blogs is their credibility. Creating an about page gives your readers an insight into who you are and provide them with a reason why they should believe you and follow your blog.
Create your first blog post
Your first health blog post can be related to your chosen niche. It is essential to make your first blog post something fun and enjoyable to read, differentiating your health blogs from the dull, informative health blogs. You can also share a little more about yourself and why you want to start a health blog. Be sure to inject your personality in your post to make it more engaging to the readers. Remember, you want to leave a lasting impression on your readers so they will keep coming back to your health blog for more.
How do health bloggers make money
Advertising
Health bloggers can use ads to monetise their blogs by using Google ads or selling their blog space to other third-party advertising spots. Advertising is the simplest way to get started and monetise your health blog as it requires little effort on your part.
Affiliate marketing
Health bloggers can share various links to products, and when a reader clicks on the link and purchase the product, the health blogger gets a small commission. Health bloggers can begin by sharing their favourite health product on their blog and working with other commercial companies.
Selling products
Health bloggers can create their course, downloads, templates, and e-books to sell to their readers. However, selling products require a sizeable audience, to begin with, to minimise marketing effort.
Sponsored posts
When you have a rather significant group audience, companies may start to approach you and pay you to publish posts related to their products. If you are beginning, you can start by pitching to companies and reaching out.
Do I have to be a health professional to start a health blog
You do not need to be a health professional to start a health blog. Some health bloggers have professional work backgrounds or have medical degrees. Other successful health bloggers have limited knowledge on health topics and have no formal education related to the health topics they are writing about. Ultimately, it comes down to the reason behind starting the health blog, who is your target audience, and why would your readers trust your health blog.
Conclusion
Starting a health blog and becoming a health blogger is not easy as it requires your health blog to be credible. While you do not necessarily need a health-related degree to start a health blog, health blogs require heavy research and fact-checking to ensure that the content is accurate and valuable for your target audience. Ultimately, the main aim of any health blog is to provide helpful content to the community.
