Build a website, make some money, easy everyone says. Well it really is, but there are many proven ways to make money on the internet with or without a website.
I am often asked the question "how can I make money on the internet with a website?" but I'm almost never asked "can I make money on the Web without a web site?" Well it really is not difficult, it does requires time and effort on your part. If you are interested in making money on the World Wide Web you have a couple of options. Lets talk about one option and your looking at it. A BLOG. Much like a web Site, you can monetize it, you can customize it, you make it your own.
If you are looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, you won't find that type of information here, I have'nt found that path to easy cash and I have looked. You can however, make some cash with your blog. Making money on the Web requires you to invest a lot of money or a lot of time. I want to show folks how to do it with as little of both as possible.
I started this blog not too long ago so I could have a place to bitch about things I can rave about the things I think are pretty cool. You can start a blog in 30 minutes and you can do it for FREE. You can make money here too using much the same methods as any other types of sites. The only thing you really need to make money is traffic. Traffic makes the Web go-round. I've met other bloggers who don't care whearter anyone reads their stuff or not yhey just want to vent. I don't get it but I assume it keeps them from climbing a clock tower with a high powered rifle. If you have good content on your blog or site the search engines will spider you and maybe rank you on a page for individual posts or your general content. You will learn how to do this too.
Pick a Blog Platform:
This forum is Blogger.com It is really easy to build a blog and get 'ta bitching. I like this platform but I have had blogs elsewhere. There is WordPress and Typepad that I like or just Google "blog Platforms" and you'll get lists and comparisons. Name it whatever you want (as long as that name is'nt taken). You really should have a core subject that you want to convey, a hobby, or any other focus you have an interest in and some knowledge of.
RANT...RAVE...BRAG...WHATEVER...You Own It.
You can run off on any tangent you want...it's your blog. It is important that you post regularly. This does not mean that you have to post everyday, just try to do it on a regular basis whether its once a day, a week, or month. Use the spell checker, it never catches everything but it can help you look like you had grammer class and you were'nt absent that day.
The hardest part is getting started!
Now get to bloggin'. Monetize your blog with the advertisers you want and have fun, it really is... fun!
