Make Money Blogging - The Easiest Way to Work From Home

Probably the easiest way to make money online is by starting your own blog. Starting a blog is inexpensive and relatively easy. There are a lot of free blogging platforms and some of them have great support. The blogging platform I recommend is WordPress. There are many reasons, but its ease of use and excellent support are the biggest reasons.

So what do you need to do to get started? The first thing you need to do is get a domain name, this is your website address. you can get one these for about $9 a year by searching around on the internet. Just search for "register domain name" and you will find a place to register one. After you have a domain name, you need to find hosting for your site. You can get hosting for about $5 a month. I recommend that you not get your domain and hosting in the same place.

When you get your hosting account most hosts have a system called cpanel. Cpanel provides a number of scripts you can use on your website. WordPress is one of them, and you will find it inside a link called Fantastico. Click on that link and you will find a link to WordPress. When you click that link you will be walked through the process of installing WordPress in a few simple steps.

Before you do any of the above steps, pick a niche that you want to blog about. A niche is a topic. The reason to pick your niche is so that you can try and find a domain name that recognizable as being about that niche. Like if you want to blog about obedience training for dogs, you then want to try and find something with the words obedience training in the name. That way anyone who sees your domain name immediately knows what the site is about.

I'm not going into how to pick a niche in this article. There is just too much to try and cover about choosing a niche to do it effectively in this article. Whatever you choose, keep in mind that it should be something that naturally interests you. You will need to post to your blog at least every other day, if not every day. If you pick a niche that you have no interest in just for the money, you will get burned out quickly and stop posting.

After you set your blog up you need to put about 10 posts on there. After you get those 10 posts up, it's time to monetize your blog. Monetization is a marketing term that basically means make money. So do a search on the internet with the niche you have chosen along with the words affiliate program. So if we stick with the dog obedience training niche, we would search for "dog obedience affiliate program." Find products that people interested in your niche would be interested in.

Once you have some products, you mention them in your posts whenever you can work them in naturally. Don't force it. If you do your visitors will view it as a sales pitch, rather than a recommendation of something you think they will benefit from.
