How can blogging make me earn money? -

I have created my own blog but I don t know how to earn money out of it. Some of my friends claim that blogging could earn you a little money.________You can do a google search quot;how to earn money by bloggingquot; and there will be a lot of returns on this topic. I find the article to be useful on this url: http://www.homebizbusiness.com/Blogging....________Yes you can make money blooging in your spare time. it is pretty easy if you have the right tools. You can put affiliate products on your blog or cost per action. You can also use google adsense which is the easiest way to make money with out selling anything________quot;THERE are two kinds of knowledge. One is general, the other is specialized. General knowledge, no matter how great in quantity or variety it may be, is of but little use in the accumulation of money.quot; Web Blogs are online diaries made up of short frequently updated posts. In addition, they are inexplicably popular. Steve Pavlina s Blog, dedicated to helping you make conscious decisions in your personal development and courageously follow through on them is a good example of a very popular Blog. In February 2005, this site received about 86,000 visitors, in January 2006 about 715,000, and today Steve s Blog receives over 1 million page views each month and is ranked by Technorati as one of the Top 500 Blogs in the world. It is listed in nearly every search engine because of spider food. New content is added almost every single day. We will discuss that later. One key advantage of Blogs is that they are easy to update. The other side is that surfers will expect you to update your site very frequently. If you do not they will go somewhere else. When you sign up for a Blog or create one on your own site use part of the name or a similar name to the name of the sponsor program you are promoting unless it is against the sponsors T.O.S. This blog, Marketing-Tipps.blogspot.com, showed up in the Search Engines in 3 days. It is not even in the top 10 for most search engine terms yet it consistently produces income, mostly AdSense. But when you create your Blog or Blogs it is really important that you pick a niche that you know and understand. Ask yourself: Would and does my Blog appeal to me? Is there something about it that excites me? If not, you need to go back to the drawing board. When you create your Blog, let us say about quot;mp3 playersquot;, and its posts use the galleries and Urls from your sponsors. If they come with a description, use them. If you have a choice between short or long descriptions use the long ones. This is your spider food. However, do not add them all to the Blog at one time. Add them 7 to 10 at a time. Set you up a schedule. Every second or third day add more. If your sponsor does not have a lot of galleries to use you re going to have to use several sponsors for each of your Blogs to keep them updated on a regular basis. After 10-15 days when the first posts are buried well out of site repeat them. You are after surfers coming from Search Engines and you are laying down spider food. It is a lot like fishing. You are putting out bait both for the surfer and for the spiders or bots from the Search Engines Moreover, it is very important that you think about Spider Food. Use descriptions for each of your content with your Blogs name in them. If for example you are promoting Asian content, use many related names in the entries you make on your Blog. This is very important. Go to Google and type in for example quot;mp3 playersquot; Write down all the related key words you find on your notepad and as you make entries in your Blog weave these words into your entries. Over the next few weeks, when you do entries work these keywords into your posts. Repeat them. Yes, repeat them. Repeat them and often. When the search engine surfer comes to your Blog looking for an mp3 player he is not going to set there for the most part and read your posts. He is going to go for the links that lead to mp3 player. Therefore, what you really need to keep in your mind is getting him there. The quality of Search Engine Traffic is high. Although at first you will not get a large quantity of traffic from Search Engines the traffic the quality of the traffic you do get is very high. When you get your Blog up on the web, there are three places you need to submit it to. The two major search engines Google, Yahoo, and BLOGGERNITY.COM, which is a Blog Directory. Hand Submit your Blog to these three places. Once BLOGGERNITY listed your Blog, go there and vote for yourself. Sign up there for a free account and write a review of your Blog. It does not have to be anything fancy. Just write how you want the surfer to feel about and see your Blog. Networking! Make a list of the other Blogs at BLOGGERNITY and contact the owners of those sites (as many as you can). Write them a short email and ask them to do a link exchange with you. Most of them will. It is very important that you use careful strategy and monitoring in promoting your blog. Use the referrers script so that you will know what is going on. Keep a paper record of what you are doing. By now if you have followed the examples I have given, you know how to set up your Blog and how to get traffic to it. If you follow it, you can make money. Here are the ten principles: 1. Create valuable content. 2. Create original content. 3. Create timeless content. 4. Write for human beings first, computers second. 5. Know why you want a high-traffic site. 6. Let your audience see the real you. 7.________Blogging can make you money. But you have to pick a topic that you are passionate about and willing to write at least once a week.

There is no a safe or sure way to make money out of a blog (most people do it just for fun, not for money) but you could try selling advertisement time, like a banner or links to other sites or products, but to do so you need to prove your blog is getting traffic. Also you could try selling quot;somethingquot;. This is assuming your blog service is a paid service, if the service is free they might not allow you to use it for commercial purposes.
