How to Make Free Money On The Internet Blogging
A Beginner's GuideDid you know you could make free money on the internet by blogging? Yes that’s right you can! I do! I know a lot of the programs listed on my website are about ways of, “How to Make free Money with Surveys, Paid Offers, and Article writing”, but I want to show you how you could start making money online by blogging, like me. This is a beginner’s guide on “How to Make free Money On The Internet Blogging” and the stuff I’ve learned. Now I’m no blogging guru or making millions of dollars a year blogging but I will tell you how you can get started setting up your blog and start making money from it. 1. Figure out what your blog is going to be about. Make sure the topic or niche is something your passionate about so you know what you’re talking about, so you’ll not run into a dead in with your blog and waste your time. 2. Once you’ve figured out what you’re going to blog about, you need to choose a Web Hosting service to get your blog started. Now you could either start with a Free Hosting service until you get the hang of things with blogging or you could choose a Paid Hosting service. If you’re planning on using your blog for making money purposes, then I would recommend using a Paid Hosting like HostGator.com. With Paid Web Hosting, you have the opportunity to do whatever you want with your blog and you own your content you write, but with Free Web Hosting there maybe rules to follow and you may not be able to blog about certain topics and could get your blog shut down and lose your work. Also you do not own your content, the Free Web Hosting service does. Paid Web Hosting may be your best bet and plus Paid Web Hosting is pretty cheap and can be less than $5 a month- well worth the cost! 3. Once you’ve found a Hosting company to host your blog, you’ll need a domain name. A
great place to find one is GoDaddy.com because they’ve got the lowest prices on domain names. I’ve made the mistake of buying my domain name through Weebly.com and paid $29.99 a year when I could’ve went through GoDaddy.com and paid less than $10 a year. When thinking of a domain name for your blog, think of something creative and catchy that people will remember. Also use a domain name related to your blog or niche, for example, if your blog is going to be about “Fashion’s for Teens” you could use a domain name like “FashionableTeens.com”. 4. Now that you have your Hosting and Domain Name, time to start adding some content on your blog to start building traffic. Remember the key to having a successful blog is adding useful and informative content that will engage your readers and want to come back for more. I like to do SEO (Search Engine Optimization) where people can find my website through search engines like Google.com by typing in certain keywords related to my blog, for example, my blog is about “Make Money Online for Free” you’ll usually see my blog on top of the search engine list with that keyword which helps people find my blog and builds my blog’s traffic. A great tool to use when searching for keywords to use for your blog is Google Keywords Tool; there you’ll find how many people a month are searching for your blog’s keywords and find new keywords to use.
Use long tail keywords like for example, “Learn How to Make Money Online for Free” instead of “Make Money Online” since there is too much competition for that short keyword. There are other ways of building traffic like, posting on forums related to the topic of your blog, commenting on other peoples’ blog articles related to your blog topic, word of mouth, guest blogging on other people’s blogs related to your blog topic, using social media, etc. Check out this article by Tommy Walker listing 101 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Website. Great tips on how to drive traffic to your blog. 5. Once you’ve build up some traffic to your blog, you can start making some money with it. There’s several ways to start making money with your blog by using: *Google Adsense- Google Adsense is when you place Google ads on your blog. Google will have bots crawl your blog’s content to display ads related to your blog's topic(s). Once a reader clicks a Google ad on your blog, you get paid for that click. Once you make payout of $100, you’ll get paid the following month. Now remember not to display too many ads on your blog or it'll look like spam and scare readers away. Also never click on your own Google ads or you’ll be banned!
*Become an Affiliate Marketer- Being an Affiliate Marketer, you'd get paid by placing advertiser’s products on your blog and once you make a sell, you'd get paid a commission. You can sign up with an affiliate related to your niche and start displaying their products and telling your readers how the products will benefit them. A good affiliate program to join is CommissionJuntion.com and LinkShare.com because they list tons of affiliate programs in different categories and gives you the materials like links and banners you need to start placing their products on your blog. *Sell EBooks- If you’re good and knowledgeable about a certain niche or product, create an EBook and sell it on your blog. Let your readers know how your EBook will benefit them and help them. Once your reader purchase your EBook, they’ll download the document onto their computer. *Sell Your Own Products- If you have your own products you’ve created, you can sell it on your blog but remember that the products must be related to your blog or people may not buy the product because it might not benefit them. *Paid Advertisement- When you start having regular traffic to your blog, you can start charging ad space. You can charge monthly and give deals to long term advertisers.
