Do you know what a blog is?
The word "blog" is short for the phrase "Web log" and is
simply a place that you can keep track of your daily
activities. For example, if you're a Web designer, you
could talk about what project you worked on that day, what
tools you used or what problems you faced. Basically a blog
is where you share your ideas, experience, problems and
solutions in a diary format for others to see.
Blogs are without doubt all the rage right now. There are
millions of new blogs popping up every month.
Blogging is something you'll see everyone doing from
grandma and her knitting girlfriends to dad and his car
buff friends. With blogging becoming so readily available,
everyone is doing it!
What does all this mean for you?
You have a huge opportunity to start creating a sweet
monthly income just by publishing your very own blog.
Making Money with a Blog
Blogging is one of the only truly "free" start-up business
models on the Internet. You can quickly and easily sign-up
for an account with a free blog service such as Goggle's
Blogger. From there you can add AdSense and other affiliate
links to your blog and make money from your visitors
clicking on those links. This is referred to as monetizing
a blog - making money with a blog.
You can accomplish all of this without ever spending a
single penny/cent of your own money.
Google started a program called AdSense. AdSense is for Web
site owners to make money by hosting other business's
advertisements on their Web sites. These AdSense ads can
also be hosted on a blog, even if it is hosted by a free
blog service. Google owns both Blogger and AdSense so they
are both programmed to be very simple for anyone to use.
Because Google owns both Blogger and AdSense they go
extremely well together.
Remember, people just like you are actually doing this.
Many of them have been very successful. This really is
do-able so long as you know what you are doing!
The opportunity is huge and if you want to learn how you
can "cash in" on this huge trend, study this section well.
