Can you make money blogging?

The answer is YES you can. All you have to do is make a blog, I use http://www.blogger.com its free and the easiest to use. Second you have to want to have a blog and enjoy to write about stuff that are of interest to you and about other stuff. Because if you are just blogging for nothing but to make money, you wont last very long. This is all due to the fact you wont be enjoying it and i know if i dont enjoy something I usually tend not to stick to it for to long or work on it as hard as I should be if i did enjoy it. The number one success with a blog is doing it because you want to and you enjoy the idea of having a blog and writting on the blog, the number one down fall of a blog is going into it just wanting to make money and making blogging a chor. Just remember that.

So if you are interested in blogging and is something that you are going to enjoy, I think I can show you a little of what I do to make money off of blogging (and nothing is make quick money its like any other job its how much work you put into it and how good your work is, that is why if you enjoy blogging your work will be good).

ok here we go here are the steps I took and are still taking that are working for me.

step 1
start a blog
http://www.blogger.com is the best and is free, but its of your choosing.

step 2
design your blog do some blog posting get the feel of everything

step 3
on blogger it has an option to add google adsense, its is a very good idea and its a pay per click type of thing so every time someone comes to your site and clicks on them you make money its not alot sometimes but it adds up and is really good for gas money and stuff like that.

step 4
get your site out there so you can get traffic to your blog.
share your blog with friends, people you meet on chat, or other net working websites like myspace, facebook, yuwie, etc.

step 5
register your blog with all search engines and this can be done for free and with one application and go through to all the search engines.

And another easy way is to ping it, this means if a blog is frequently updated and the search engines know they will crawl to you more often than others that arent (so keep that in mind). This site will help you

step 6
i also use affilated programs on my blog to make money. I use amazons program for this, and i use their mp3 program and their movie program on my blog so when someone clicks on it to get a music download or what ever i get a referral payment, which is usually the same amount as adsense. But with this and adsense combined it all starts adding up.

step 7
now to start making any where from $2.50 to $5.00 or more just from posting blogs. Before you do this make sure you have more tahn one or two people viewing your blog this way your having traffic coming into your blog site atleast everyday, this betters the view of your blog and the opertunity of you getting payed for blogging. But getting paid to post is easy and simple if you have no problem before hand of posting to your blog, and never do a paid to post idea that you arent passionate about your have any interest in doing because it wont work if you don't. It is free to register with this site and is pretty simply to manage around and understand.

step 8
make sure you are always updating or posting something new on your blog at least three or more times a week, it provides fresh new material to your viewers so that they keep coming back. Its ok to just update once a week also but you may loose out on views that is wanting to see something new from you. And balance you blog between paid posts and your own personal interest posts, because nothing but paid posts on your blog will tend to make views get tired of always coming and seeing those and nothing else, so in the long run you will lose out on your traffic to your site and sometimes lose any dedicated views that you might have.

and the final step and one of the ones that you need to remember and keep in mind if you start to get discuraged.

step 9
hard work pays off, don't give up. God didnt make the earth in one day so dont exspect to make money right off the bat and get rich quick, we arent all parez hilton and even he didnt get a big break right away. So stick to it and make sure its something you keep loving to do and enjoy what you get out of it.


I hope that this information has been able to help you do what you maybe looking to do with blogging and getting paid for it.
