Step 1 - Create A Website
Well, for a start you need a website. Depending on your desires, Blogger, WordPress and lots of other options exist. I always go for a self hosted version of WordPress, but you might prefer another option. Set it up, customise the look and then you are ready to get going.
At this point numerous people expect that advertisers are going to be falling more than themselves to pay the blogger for advertising space. If just it were that simple! You now need to prepare the weblog!
Step 2 - Prepare Your Website
You prepare the weblog by writing, writing and more writing. Place planty of interesting posts so that when traffic arrive they have plenty to read and can find a few related posts. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but ensure that there is a good amount of choice and they are not obviously arriving on a brand new website.
Then research a few keywords that are relevant to your weblog. Find keywords that may be being used and write posts round these and follow this up with further articles on these keywords submitted to article directories and via guest posting to other blogs. Build a lot of incoming links so that you might start to see visitors for these keywords.
Be sure that that you have a newsletter that traffic might sign up to and perhaps offer a free ebook to subscribers. Open a Facebook page and Twitter page and suggest that people follow you on both of these. Nurture your blog to create loads of visitors.
Step 3 - Turn A Blog Into A Money Making Machine
Now you can turn it into a really good money making machine using a few easy techniques.
First, sign up to Google Adsense and drop a few of their advert blocks onto your page. Never overdo third party advertising, only one or two blocks of adverts works best else you might scar readers off.
Next, sign up to a few relevant affiliate schemes. You could site about the products and leave a link in the post, probably a link in the main area of your blog (if it keeps you under the two advert block rule!) and mention the affiliate link on your newsletter and Facebook marketing.
Lastly, you could also give sponsored posting a go, which is where loads of people think they can start right from the outset. Plenty of of the best paid posting systems require that your site be 90 days old and have lots of posts, so waiting is a good idea anyway. But you could sign up to various services who will make available to you various offers for being paid to write about. These are not always on the subject of your blog, but if you have prepared your blog well the profits available per post that you write make it well worth your while.
If you want to, there is a load of money to be made blogging. Only remember that it does take time to get started as advertisers do want something back.
