How to Start a Blog and Make Money Online

If you are new to the internet and wondering what an earth this blogging craze is all about, or if you already have your own website and you’re wondering why everyone keeps advising you to start your own blog, read on. I’m going to explain to you what a blog is, why you need one, how to set it up, promote it and of course, make money from it.

Blog is short for “web log” and is similar to an online diary or journal. The craze of blogging began in the very late 1990s and has started to become more and more popular over the last couple of years. Almost everyone seems to have a blog these days, from CEOs of large companies to webmasters, from world travelers to teenagers. Even my Dad has his own blog now! A blog allows you to communicate informally with people via an online journal, but it’s more personal and unstructured than a website and easier and cheaper to set up than a website.

If you have your own website, but haven’t yet started a blog you can easily start one using a free service such as Blogger or WordPress. Try to post to your blog at least once or twice a week on topics related to your website. Blogging will help your search engine rankings and open up the communication channels between you and your visitors or customers, encouraging them to interact with you and give them a reason to return to your site in future.

If you don’t have your own website and are looking to set up a blog quickly and easily I recommend opening a free account with Blogger. You can blog about anything you like, for example a hobby, a vacation, your home town, something political, a sport or your business. Just be sure to pick something that you are interested in and knowledgeable about. You can host your blog for free on Blogspot – all you need to do is pick a name that is relevant to the topic of your blog. Once you have set up your profile and chosen a template, blogging is as simple as sending an email to a friend.

There are many ways to make money from your blog, but here are a few ideas to get you started:

- Google Adsense - this is free to join and easy to set up. The ads will match the content of your blog and you will get paid every time a visitor clicks on an ad.

- Affiliate Programs – sign up for affiliate programs related to the topic of your blog and display links to related products on your blog. Clickbank, Trade Doubler and Commission Junction are good places to start, or do a Google search for “affiliate program” + the topic of your blog to find more affiliate programs. Whenever someone clicks through your affiliate link and buys a product, you will receive a commission. If you are knowledgeable about your topic you could also write product reviews to help increase your affiliate sales.

- Sell Advertising Space – if you have a popular blog you can charge people to advertise on your blog. This could be in the form of a text link, a banner or a graphic.

You are not going to make money with a blog unless people can find it. As soon as you have started to post to your blog it’s time to start promoting it. You can get your blog noticed by…

- Submitting your blog to blog directories – just search for “blog directories” in Google

- Asking other bloggers to exchange links with you – you put a link on your blog in exchange for a link from their blog.

- Writing an article related to the topic of your blog and posting it to article directories. Remember to include an author’s resource box with a link to your blog.

- Pinging blog ping services every time you make a new post – pingomatic.com and pingoat.com are two sites you can use to do this.

- Participating in forums related to the topic of your blog. Put a link to your blog in your forum signature.

Finally, once you have your blog monetized and you have started promoting it don’t forget to post regularly. The most important aspect of every successful blog is frequent posting, so be sure not to let the virtual dust gather over your blog!

Blog. Does this word scare you? Are you an internet marketer that doesn't blog? Are you afraid of blogging? I've been in the internet marketing world for a while and I admit it, I once was afraid of blogging, I don't know how to write, I don't want people to invade to my privacy, do I really have so much to talk about…

Well, these are only a part of the question people asking themselves, and eventually they don't blog, most of them don't even read blogs, and since they don't read blogs they don't know what the fuss is all about and end up blogless, and if you are in the internet marketing world, you'll end up broke, with no traffic to your site and no costumers to buy your products, since blogging is a very important part of being a business owner.

The first thing you need to do is grab a hold of yourself and take a deep breath and start reading blogs, you will discover a wonderful world, the internet is growing very fast these days and blogging is growing too, there are many blogs, on many different subjects, internet marketing, blogging, web design, graphics, programming, animals, stories, jokes, pictures blogs, movies, etc.

Once you'll see that you can blog about everything you like and dislike, make your opinion on everything, or contribute by teaching and helping other people through you blog you need to start writing, yes, I know some of you are probably afraid of just writing to, or you always suffer from writers blog, there are blog and e-books to help you and teach you how to start writing, like a pro.

Now that those two things are out of your way check what is keeping you behind. You can start your blog with blogger or wordpress, or any other site, blogging is free, and you can personalize it.

The last thing that keeping you from blogging is you and you alone, for most people is taking the first step, so just do it, your first post doesn't have to be long, introduce yourself to you readers, tell them something about your self, and describe the purpose of your blog and what you want to talk about.

If you are afraid of your privacy being invaded, just don't share everything, share just as much as you fill is enough, and this is different for different people.

If its criticism you are afraid of, than stop, criticism can be very good for you, you can learn a lot from other people who read your blog and comment on it for better or worse, and learning is always good.

To sum it up, blogging is fun, to read and to write, once you start, you can't believe how you could do without it. And remember you need to be there to be successful; you can't make it if no one knows about you, so let's start blogging.

StumbleUpon is a hot social site that is becoming increasingly popular for blogs and sites to use as an avenue to dramatically increase potential traffic. It can prove to be an even higher success than Digg, especially of late.

As with other social community sites, it’s important to be an active user by making friends and contributing new discoveries. Here are a few other tactics that could increase your stumble popularity.

1) Use relevant tags

It’s important to pick the proper tags as it will increase relevant stumbles found either using the search function on their website or toolbar.

2) Choose the right topic

After choosing a site to submit, you are asked to pick a topic to submit it under. Picking the right topic can make or break your Stumble. If you submit the page under a wrong or unrelated topic then people who stumble may be less likely to give it a thumbs up. Opt for general topics versus specific keywords to broaden the search.

3) Receive Help From Your Friends, Family, Network Buddies

StumbleUpon allows you to send your stumbles directly to a friend, whom would be highly likely to enjoy your site and give you a thumbs up - although don’t abuse it!

4) Use Groups and Forums

There are groups covering just about any topic. You are allowed to join up to 63 groups. Some groups allow you the ability to post relevant links to share within the group, depending on the setting created by the moderator.

5) Highlight your blog in StumbleUpon profile

This is very easy. Enter your blog URL as your website address and it will be displayed above your image on the main page of your profile. You can write a short blurb about yourself and include your website with a link.

Taking care of the little details like submitting your pages properly, could give you that extra edge and help you gain more traffic with even more links to your site. But of course, the content itself has to be interesting and useful - and sometimes the more entertaining the better!
