Earn Money Blogging


Probably the most profitable way to earn money online is to create a blog.
Even if you don’t have the money to pay for the hosting and domain, you can use one of the many free options avaiable on the internet, like wordpress.com and blogger.com
These are the steps you need to follow to start earning money from blogging.
0) Choose the niche. You might want to blog about something you are passionate about or choose a very profitable niche like technology for instance.
1) Create the blog. You can use a free blog network like wordpress or blogger, or buy the domain and hosting, there are many cheap hosting and domain providers like godaddy.com
2) Create the content. Obviously you need to add some content to your blog before you try to monetize it.
3) Promote your blog. For starters the best way is to use a free method like link building and offsite seo.
4) Monetize.
There are many options to monetize a blog, these are the most popular.
1) Adsense. After you join and are approved by the program you will need to place some ads on your website. Adsense will pay you a commission each time one of your visitors clicks the ads.
2) Sell advertising. Instead of using adsense you might want to sell advertising by yourself and avoid the middleman commissions. This is a great option for high traffic blogs.
3) Affiliate programs. By using affiliate programs like clickbank and amazon you will be able to earn money from sales of products made from your blog. You just need to join one of these programs, choose the products you want to sell on your blog and place the banners they will give you on your site.
4) Sell your own products. Instead of using affiliate programs and selling someone else’s products you can create, develop and sell your own products. Obviously the product must be relevant to the site.
5) Donations. If your site offers great and very useful information you might ask for donations.
6) Premium sections. You can also charge your users to get access to premium sections. These special sections should contain good quality resources and information, a download area, ebooks, tutorials, whatever…
7) eBay. If you have an eBay store, you can also promote it on your blog and make more money with it.
