Step 1) Create a blog

blogger.com

Blogs are free, easy to setup, and can generate money for you. There are a million topics to talk about, and millions of bloggers already making money from it. The question is: how big will your piece of the pie be? Will you work at it every day, once a week, once a month, or just sometimes? Like anything in life, it takes commitment to achieve your goals, this is no different. I'm not going to sugar coat this strategy, it will take motivation, and effort on your part.

Step 2) Sign up for Google Adsense to put ads on your blog

google.com/adsense/

Blogger.com is owned by Google. They have given bloggers the ability to add income generating ads from Google Adsense which provides ads for you. All you have to do is sign up for an account, add in all of your particulars, setup direct payment through your bank, and start blogging! Visitors that come to your blog will have the opportunity to click on ads generated by Google Adsense. When they do, Google will pay you for every click that you generate from their ads.

Step 3) Start writing daily on topics like; local events, news, stories, history, or jokes of the day.

We all have it in us to 'chat' with people. Blogging is essentially a way to chat with people, to share your thoughts, and to interact with other bloggers. Some blogs talk about business, world news, parenting, cars, traveling, the environment, and some just share their thoughts on all topics. There's no limit as to what you can talk about.

Don't Know What To Blog About?

Are you a new parent? Why not talk about all of the mistakes, mishaps, successes, tips, and ideas you have for parents to be? Parenting is a daily event, so is blogging. Simply take anything that you've learned today, and post it within your blog the next morning.

The key is to keep blogging, don't give up after a few weeks just like 99% of bloggers do.

Step 4) Promote your blog.

You can promote your blog within 100's of article directories, and blog directories online. Most article directories online accept daily blog tips. The idea is to keep submitting your blog tips on a regular basis maybe, once a day, weekly, or even monthly. Just like you need to keep blogging, the idea is to keep promoting as well so that you attract more followers for your blog which will ultimate generate more money.

Submit your blog to bloggers directories:

There are literally 100's of blog directories which allow you to submit your blog to. Once approved, this gives your blog more exposure to the public and will attract more visitors on a regular basis. Blogging is not "if you build it, they will come". It doesn't work that way, like anything in life, you must promote something to get something.

Once you blog starts to get traffic, people will start clicking on ads being delivered by Google Adsense. After you make $100 US within your Adsense account, Google will pay you which you can then turn around and setup a school fund for your child, or children even. Every time Google pays you, add that money into your child's fund. Over time, you'll see how fast you can save maybe $1,000 / $5,000 / $10,000 dollars!

Don't believe me? Just think of this, my families bills have been paid through the money my business generates from Google Adsense for many years. If I can do it, so can you. It won't happen over night, it might take up to a year to get a good amount of traffic to your blog, but just think of it this way... Where will you be in 10 years from now if you started now?

Just remember, share your knowledge online = a child school fund!

There are many free blogging tools on the market, but loading up your blog with all of the free accessories that you can find isn't necessarily a good idea. While it may be tempting to add a visitor counter, a flashy background, an exciting new font, and a cluster of quirky animated gifs to your blog, this kind of plan can easily backfire. Blogging Tips. The key to getting the most from free blog tools is being selective. It is a great idea to learn about all of the kinds of free blogging tools that are available so that you can make an informed decision about what to add to your blog but try to remember that just because you can have something doesn't mean that you need it. Practice restraint and only choose the options that you think will really be useful. If you can find out how many visitors are reading your blog by checking your traffic statistics, a visitor counter is likely to add unnecessary clutter to your page. If your blog is text-based, a flashy background can be more of a distraction than an benefit Be realistic about assessing what kinds of blog accessories will help you realize your vision and improve your site. Remember that even a blog tool that doesn't cost you any cash may not be an asset in the long run blogging

For Business Owners
If you run a small company, you may find that the world of blogging for business owners is a world that you want to be a part of. Blogging is a great way to get the word out to consumers about your product or service, and it can even be useful for inspiring employee loyalty and helping you keep your workers at peak morale. If you are looking for a way to take your business to the next level, consider what starting a blog might be able to do for you. Blogging for business owners has a lot in common with all other types of blogging, but it has its own unique pitfalls and strengths. The key to having a successful blog as a business owner is keeping your goals clear and concrete at every step of your blogging adventure. It can be all to easy to get sidetracked, especially if you are just learning about the exciting possibilities of blogging technology, but if you want your blog to succeed you need to stay focused. Write up a plan for how often you will update, how you will promote your blog and retain readers, whether you will feature photographs or video, and other aspects of your blog, and then stick to it with the same kind of determination that you used when you built your company.

Most of the "rules" about writing for ezines and newsletters apply to writing posts for your blog, but there are some important differences. Keep these 10 tips in mind and you'll be publishing great blog content that attracts prospects and clients in your niche market.

1. Write with the reader in mind. Remember WIIFM? It’s marketing jargon for What’s In It For Me? That’s what you should be keeping in mind. Your reader will read your post looking for what’s in it for them.

2. Make it valuable and worthwhile. Don’t waste people’s time. If you don’t have anything to say, no problem, plenty other people do. So share their articles, do an interview, review a book.

3. Proof-read for typos and glaring grammatical errors. You wouldn’t go out of the house with dirty hair or missing a sock, so why would you publish spelling mistakes? Respect your readers by polishing up your stuff.

4. Keep it short and simple, sweetie. (KISS). Most people are scanners. You may have a lot to say and think it interesting, and it may be. But people are reading online and out of time. Get to the point quickly. Publishing short posts more frequently is a better format than publishing lengthy articles every few weeks.

5. Keep it lively, make it snappy and snazzy. Even if you aren’t a natural born writer, you can write for your blog. Just write like you’re speaking to your friend…or to yourself! Remember though, get to the point quickly. Keep in mind the journalist’s rule of 5 W’s in the first paragraph: who, what, why, when and where.

6. Link often. This builds credibility and positions you as an expert in your field. People don’t have time to know what others are doing, you should tell them. Linking to other blogs and websites also helps you build a network of associates who will in turn link to your blog.

7. Use keywords often. This will help you stay on purpose, and the search engines will love your blog. Your rankings will go up. This is one of the reasons we have you write out your purpose statements before beginning your blog. The clearer you are about your purpose, the more consistently you will deliver messages that are on target. And the more often your keywords show up, the better your search engine results.

8. Write clearly (short sentences, only one concept per sentence). No double speak or jargon; no more than one idea in one sentence- don’t make your readers have to think about your meaning. Spoon feed them. Use commas and dashes liberally.

9. Write like you talk. It’s okay to use common expressions from speech.

Examples:

Go figure.

Don’t even go there…

Now, I ask you…

Gotta love it…

(And, remember the age group of your readers…)

10. Use a clear headline, and don’t be afraid to make bold statements (but don’t mislead people either). Make it snazzy and use key words. Example: Ex-Techno-Weenie Masters HTML Code

BONUS: After you write a post and BEFORE you hit the save button

Use this checklist to ask yourself a few questions as you are reading through for typos and grammar:

__ Is the topic clear to someone who only reads the headline?

__Does the lead paragraph tell who and what the story is about and why the reader should care about it?

__ Is the angle you've used likely to seem newsworthy?

__Would someone who knows absolutely nothing about this topic understand this post?

__ Is the post free of jargon?

__ Is it written in journalistic style and does it make an effort to be objective?

__ Have you peppered the headline and the post with keywords and phrases that will be attractive to search engines?

__ Did you remember to ask your readers a question at the end, or something to stimulate readers to comment?

__ Did you remember to write with the reader in mind, always keeping in mind WIIFT? (What’s in It for Them?)
