Is This Still a Viable Fastlane Road?

I coined this phrase from TMF : "Content-based models are online news magazines and blogs that disseminate information to a particular niche or industry. These services provide content for free consumption and sell advertising to parties who want to reach those eyeballs. My Fastlane Forum can be considered a content-based revenue model. I consider content-based revenue models the most difficult for success because entry barriers have significantly declined and its success is predicated on high traffic."

How Can I Manipulate the odds to my favour if i'm to begin a blog. In other words, what proven blogging strategy can make me succeed if i choose this road as my fastlane route.

My means of Monetization is Google Adsense.

Not really, no. The people making money blogging are well established with hundreds of thousands of readers and exceptional, unique content. And the vast majority of the most successful bloggers are probably making <$100k in AdSense revenue yearly. Anyone can start a blog in a few minutes, but will never rank anywhere even close to significant on the Google algorithm. And even if you do reach success, Google can change their algorithm and destroy you overnight.

There is little in the way of proven formula, but lots of theory. Every year the tricks change again, but the universal truth is that you have to be writing good content and attracting visits to your blog that translate into ad clicks. LOTS of them.

This is not Fastlane though. As of late, we are seeing just what happens when you don't respect the Law of Control as thousands of YouTube Vloggers who quit work to focus solely on their channels are finding themselves de-monetized and having to turn to other funding mechanisms such as Patreon.

The proven blogging strategy is the one where you write stuff that is so good people leave Youtube, Facebook, and their email to come to your blog and read what you have to say. If your only monetization is Adsense, then you are basically just an employee of Google, and if you say, or do, or be, something they don't like, they'll fire you just like an employee.
