| How to Earn Money from Blogging Posted: 29 Nov 2009 07:30 PM PST 
These past weeks I had been able to find old classmates and friends in real life. They’ve always asked what I do. I keep on telling them that I am both earning from my blogs as well as practicing freelancing. For now I can just list down steps on how to get started in blogging. How to get started in blogging - Decent writing skills. I started out using a word editor with a spell checker to help me out.
- Knowledge of using the computer and the internet. Obviously.
- Decent internet connection. Believe me, I started blogging and even freelancing using 56kbps free internet connection that came with my telephone line.
- (optional) Your own computer. Here in my country (Philippines) you can always blog in any internet cafe at minimum of P10/hour.
Of course, the next thing to do is to open up a blog for free. - Blogger.com: The site is great for starters (and even advanced users) to start earning money from blogs. They allow placement of advertisements and other useful codes into the blog.
- WordPress.com: Their blogs may look better and have better comment management, but they don’t allow advertisements and other codes to be placed on their blogs. If you don’t really intend to make money, then this may be a wiser choice.
- There are more free blogging platforms out there such as Blogsome, but performance-wise, the first two options are still the best ones to start blogging.
What’s next? - Choose a topic for your blog. Most often people think of blogs as a place to write down personal thoughts: but blogging had matured and evolved, so it is now easy for one to pick a topic. It is best to write topics that revolve around your personal interest if you want to earn from your own blog: cars, technology, gadgets, fashion, kids and parenting, news and commentary – the list is endless.
- Learn the technicalities of blogging, such as HTML. Or pay an expert to help you out in coding your blog. Or ask the help of a friend in doing simple HTML tweaks on your blog. Sometimes you want to insert advertisements and other useful codes into your blog.
Making Money from Blogs - Learn SEO techniques. If you want to attract huge amount of traffic to your advertisements or offers.
- If SEO is much too technical to understand do occasional paid reviews and link selling instead, or in addition to SEO. You may even have to invest in a domain name just to qualify for these offers. Please visit this link to learn more.
- Do not stop at the first two steps. Making money online doesn’t stop there. There’s always a new trick or technique that comes along the way.
