Making Money Online using blogs and websites is a relative task and usually depends on several factors mentioned below;

1. How much traffic you are getting?
2. What is your bounce rate?
3. How many people have subscribed to your email list?
4. How many people have registered for your push notifications?
5. How many people are engaged with your content?
6. What is your CPA or Cost or Revenue per Action? etc

Now I don't sound as if everything depends on traffic online, but most of the time it is always about how much online traffic are you getting in order to make a decent living.

Even though most of the questions above are directly related to the number of users that visit your website, still it also depends upon how much of that visiting traffic actually converts to your business model and actually pays something to buy your products or services.

Let me explain to you why ...

Imagine you are receiving around 300 unique visitors per day. This means that you have got some probability that someone will buy your product or services or at least click on the advertisements that will make you some money.

Now to understand how much you can make over 1000 unique visitors, you should know what is your Page RPM, that is how much money your website can earn if you will have 1000 unique visitors. This is generally anywhere between $0.01 to $1 for new websites.

So if you have 300 unique visitors you can earn anywhere between $0.01 to $0.25 per day and that too assuming all these visitors are only coming to your website and not many click through.

One should also understand that the amount of money you make online also depends on the factor - for where your traffic is coming from.

For example, if most of the online traffic you are getting is from third-world countries then you will earn less as compared to if your blog receives traffic from developed nations such as the US, UK, European Countries, etc. This is because advertisers are paying more in those countries to publish their advertisements on websites.

Therefore, when you try and target your articles for the international market, then your chances of making more money become higher.

Again this requires a lot of hard work because you may have to research for the keywords which are ranking in those countries and provide content that can beat the local competitors that have much more idea about what kind of articles are already ranking in those countries.

Similarly, if you are working on increasing your traffic, try to niche down your traffic towards a particular market, which might be related to a country or geography, because in the end money making requires one to figure out ways to address this issue to utilize your full potential.

For this, you should try to do some market research and check what all products and services are already popular in a particular part of the world and how people live their normal lives, what are their day to day issues and how can you add value to their life with the help of your blog, and when you are able to do that, you will see traffic flowing to your website.

If you search for Formulation Scientist on Google or other search engines, there is one common answer that everyone gives, and that is you should have a degree in biochemistry or chemistry or related fields, but no one actually gives you a clear-cut idea about what all you need to actually become a Formulation Scientist.

But if you are pursuing cosmetology, maybe BTech or MTech Cosmetology, then you can even become a formulation scientist because you are learning about chemicals being used in cosmetic products, and in research and development you actually make formulations.

There is one thing to understand before you can start your journey as a cosmetic formulation scientist, and that is your education in this field.

Below is a sure shot way to become a formulation scientist by doing cosmetology;

1. Complete BTech Cosmetology
2. Complete MTech Cosmetology
3. Work for 2+ Years in a Cosmetic Company in Research and Development Department
4. Complete Ph.D. in Cosmetology and become a Doctor 
5. Apply for Formulation Scientist Jobs in R&D Departments of Cosmetic Companies

This is exactly how you become a formulation scientist.

It is important to understand that you need to work in a cosmetics company or launch your own in order to keep on doing research, which is an important trait of any formulation scientist.

As a formulation scientist, you should be innovating and creating your own formulations that are effective and helpful to the customers. Also, you should be working on solving issues that people have with regard to their skin or hair issues. 

Most of the blogs and articles out there may give you confusing steps to become a formulation scientist, but here I have shared the exact way to become one because I have experience working in the cosmetics industry and I have seen people growing in this industry.

One needs to understand that if you are not clear about your goals then you will be confused and will keep on working in different departments like sales, marketing, etc in cosmetic companies, but if you are clear about what you want to be, then you can achieve that goal.

It may happen that you may take 1 or more years to reach that position, but if you know where you want to reach, then you will for sure become a cosmetic formulation scientist.

Time Span to Become a Cosmetic Formulation Scientist;

1. BTech Cosmetology (after 12th Class) - 4 Years
2. MTech Cosmetology - 2 Years
3. Work Experience - 2 Years
4. Ph.D. - 3 to 5 Years (You can pursue it with distance education as well)

Therefore the total time to become a Cosmetic Formulation Scientist should be anywhere between 10 to 15 years. Obviously, some might take a bit more or some might be able to achieve it much faster depending upon their learning capabilities, but you should consider this as a fair time span to become a cosmetic formulation scientist.

How much can one earn as a Cosmetic Formulation Scientist?
When you start your job in Research and Development Department on a junior level or as a fresher, you can get anywhere from 12k to 30k per month in cosmetic companies.

Then when you gain experience and get promotions you can get anywhere from 50k to 1 lakh INR per month.

But when you become a Cosmetic Formulation Scientist, you are able to get anywhere above 1 lakh per month. It may go more than 5 lakhs per month as well but totally depends on your company, your capabilities, and how good you are in presentations and handling departments as such.

If you are good with your job, research, and developing new products the case sky is the limit for the money you can make.

Why do people think that students pursuing cosmetology will work in salons?
There is this notion that students pursuing cosmetology will work in salons or may work as a beautician, which is totally wrong. Although many people choose to work in salons, most of the time someone who has graduated form a good college works in cosmetic companies in research and development departments.

They may also work in sales and marketing as per their interest, but most of the time R&D is the department where most of the successful students land.

This is really good because R&D is a core scientific field and they are able to work hard and innovate new technologies in the world of cosmetics, because of which their career path also becomes clear and bright.

People who say that after cosmetology students get only jobs in salons are basically ignorant or they don't have proper knowledge about this field, as they believe by studying skincare and healthcare people can only land beautician jobs, which is 100% wrong.

Conclusion;
So if you are persuing cosmetology and want to become a Cosmetic Formulation Scientist, just work on the above steps and ou will definitely become one. You will also be satisfied because the work of a scientist is really satisfying and each project makes you feel so much successful.

One word of advice, don't listen to people who don't share the vision that you have.

They will only drag you down. If you want to become a formulation scientist, then just work on the above mentioned steps and keep your vision clear. It may take 1 or 2 years excess sometimes depending upon the situations that you are facing, but once you have become what you wanted then you will be really happy, and feel satisfied as success will be with you and not the nay sayers.

Several years ago when I first started to work full-time as a blogger, I used to ask myself and other professionals the same question.

What is it like to make money online?

People usually are not able to answer this question easily because the feelings associated with making money online are so mixed and personal that people usually don't want to share them with anyone.

Since I have been working online for several years now, so I believe I can give an answer to this question.

Although the money that comes from working online is not magical, still you feel as if you have achieved something great. I still remember when the first time I earned $0.01, it was an awesome feeling where I felt as if I have achieved something and it also felt a bit magical.

Magical in the sense that I didn't have to apply for any job and drag myself from the day-to-day work. There was no boss who used to ask me to send reports and there were no colleagues that asked my help even when they knew my whole day is booked.

What was the routine like?
When you work as a full-time blogger, you have to ensure that your life is disciplined. This is because you have a lot of time. You have every time in the world at your disposal and if you are not able to make that time count, then that is wasted.

Having said that, initially, I became a bit lazy because I had a lot of time, and when I observed that I need to be more focused I started coming into a routine and started going to sites or offices with my friends.

Those were the co-working spaces, where people used to come on every single day especially the people who were having work from home or the people who were having their own businesses.

This helped me a lot because I started waking p on time and then started to get ready and come into a routine.

Once I was on track, I used to write a lot of articles day in and day out. This was an important step because without content people would not come to your website and use it in the first place. Then after completing 2 or 3 articles, I used to come back home and again used to sit for some more work for my blog and website.

The feeling of making money online
When I received my first $1, I was super excited because I had put in the effort and it really paid off. This was also because I earned my first dollar while sleeping.

Later in the day when I checked the analytics, I got to know that people from all over the world were searching for keywords that I was ranking for and hence I was able to make a lot of money because of that.

This also felt magical because it was the first time that I didn't have to actively work for something to make money, but I made my first dollar while sleeping, although I had set up the system, my website and its content in such a way that people would like to read it and enjoy surfing through my website.

I was also confused a bit because some of my pages were bringing maximum traffic so I had to figure out why was that happening and what other pages are not performing well.

These all questions made me more curious and I wanted to get answers as soon as possible so that all my articles ranked on Search Engines and driver traffic. This had given me a lot of sleepless nights as well.

Then comes the refresh syndrome.
Once you receive your first dollar, you get addicted to refreshing your AdSense account or the dashboard which is showing your total earnings on any ad platform.

I call it refresh syndrome because as you need some hit and you get addicted to drugs, similarly you get addicted to refreshing your dashboard to track your earnings, obviously because those are not automatically going to refresh.

This keeps you logged in to your dashboards forever and you also feel as if you are not happy if you are not refreshing and checking the revenue you made, and sometimes if you are not making a substantial amount, you start getting depressed and sad, and keep on always thinking what wrong you are doing and how to get things right.

Conclusion;
Earning or Making Money Online is a mixed feeling because there are a lot of things happening when you first start making money online therefore, you may sometimes feel happy, sometimes curious and sometimes even sad because of the amounts you are making.
