How to Start Your First Money Making Blog

By Max Lloyd

Here you are with questions in your mind:

How do I start blogging?
How do I set up a blogging site?
How to make money blogging?



Starting blogging for money is actually simpler than you might think. Head on to free blog sites such as blogger.com or wordpress.com and open up a free account. That's all - you are in a making money blogging business. You don't have to be technically savvy or even know HTML, blogging sites are extremely easy to use. Make sure you'll start writing about subjects you like - gardening, golfing, vacations - whatever is your passion. Writing about your passion or hobby is a good way to get your hands wet, so to speak. You do want to get experience on how to write posts, and see what makes your blog's visitors to come back and leave comments. Is it a new idea how to arrange garden in backyard, or what makes a powerful golf swing?

Now, how do you start making money with blogs? Writing is fun, but where is money? The easiest way to make money with blogs is to publish advertisements from ad networks such as Google AdSense or Yahoo Publishers Network. What you need to do is to plug their ad code into your blog and, vola, everything else is done automatically. Relevant ads are served by ad networks to your blog and whenever visitor clicks on the ad, you'll get paid. It's hard to say how much you'll get paid per click (it depends on a market you choose), but expect 5 cents and up per click. In very competitive markets, such as beauty, clicks come at a premium price of 25 cents and more.

Important thing to consider before you'll decide to make money blogging is whether you want to use free blogging services or open a web hosing account and host your blogs there. My recommendation is to host blogs on your own hosting account. That way you have more control over blogs and you don't have to think about your blog being suddenly dropped out. Yes, it does happen with free services, and it may take a long time to restore your blog business.

Additionally, you are limited to what you can do with your blogs while using free hosting such as blogger.com. That's why I definitely recommend going with paid web hosting and having a complete control over your money making blogs. Your business should be in your hands.
