Starting Your Own Blog
Starting your own blog can be exciting. The truth is there is money to be made, but it takes time.
I am creating this blog with the beginner in mind. If you are brand new to blogging, this is the perfect place to start.
Starting Your Own Blog- What is the purpose of a blog?
The purpose of a blog is to create pages on a particular subject, you know about and give as much quality information as you can. Include your personal thoughts and allow your readers to really connect with you. The other purpose in starting your own blog is to make money, get rich perhaps..... lol, funny, but true!
Starting Your Own Blog- Where to create a blog
You can create your Blog here at Blogger, which is a very reputable site. There are many other legitimate sites to start your own blog, as well. Sign up is free and never a cost to you.
Starting Your Own Blog- How do you get paid?
Once you create your Blog at Blogger, you will notice they will allow you to automatically put Google AdSense ads up around your blog. If you do not have a Google AdSense account, they help you with that, as well. When someone clicks on an ad on your blog, you get paid.
You can take this a step further and sign up as an Affiliate with Amazon and or Clickbank, again for free, and put their ads around your blog, as well.
Starting Your Own Blog- Choose a Topic
It is best to create a "Niche Topic" which means a specific topic for your blog. For example, your blog may be about "Hand Stamping and Creating Cards" and in this blog you can post as often as you would like. The more posts, the better. Within that subject you may post about "Supplies Needed to Stamp Cards" and the next post may be "Making Birthday cards."
At Blogger you can create many different Blogs in your one account. So keep each Blog subject specific.
Starting Your Own Blog- Getting Traffic, the Basics
Not only do you want a good quality blog with lots of information, but you want your site found by being ranked well in the search engines. This topic is an article in it's own, but I will share the basics.
First, never stop learning. Learn as much as you can about SEO, Blogging in general, Getting traffic to your site and promoting.
Choose your keywords. At Blogger they will ask your keywords after you write your blog. They call it labels. Now you want to make sure your keywords are in the Title and many times through the articles without getting spammy. This is the major key to getting your article found.
Starting Your Own Blog- Choosing Good keywords
The key is to find searched keywords, that pay well per click and there is not alot of articles written about the particular subject. You can use Google Keyword Tool Click Here for Google Keyword Free tool to find keywords. Put your keyword in and hit submit. Next you will see below and to the right "Choose Columns to Display" click "Show estimated average cpc" this will give you a good idea on what keywords pay better than others. It also shows how many times those words were searched in the past month
Take this a step further and personally search your keywords. Do many pages come up? You want to find keywords that do NOT have alot written already, so YOUR blog comes up higher ranked in the search engines.
Starting Your Own Blog- Promote
Find your Url to each post you make in your blog by clicking "File" and then "Properties" and then you will see your Url. You can go to to Google and Bing and hand submit your url. You can also promote your own blog by submitting each post at Digg or Shetoldme (both are free and great ways to promote articles or blog posts) Click here for SHETOLDME
Starting Your Own Blog
Starting your own blog sounds a bit complicated, but it is not. You do not need to worry about every thing I have mentioned here, at first. Take it one step at a time and feel free to come back and visit my blog anytime. Starting your blog and setting it up is easy. It is making money on your blog that can be a bit more difficult. As I mentioned, give it time, write as much as you can, and keep learning as much as you can.

Earn Extra Income From Home
Earn Extra Income From Home
There are a number of reasons you may want to earn extra income from home. Maybe you have a full time job and just need extra money, to make ends meet or perhaps your spouse works and you need to stay home with the kids and just simply earn extra money from home to help pay bills. Whatever you reason is, there are plenty of ways to make money from home and better yet, with no start up costs or fees to you.
Sell unwanted items in your home on Craigs List or Ebay.
You can list your unwanted items on Craigs list for free, and if you include a picture of your item and a great price, chances are your sale can be made the same day!
If you want to take it a step further, go to garage sales or resale shops and turn that .75 cent item into $30 over and over again on Ebay. I have been selling on Ebay 9 years and am a Proseller. My advice to people is not to buy wholesale and resell, but to make a full time living at Ebay simply by garage sale shopping. You would be amazed at how much money you can earn.
Another way to Earn Extra Income From Home
Get paid to write! There are so many sites online that pay residual income to write. There are no costs to you, ever, so there is nothing to lose. Associated Content, Info Barrel, Bukisa, Demand Studios, Suite 101, are all great places to write and earn money at and perfect for the beginner! You can start a blog at Blogger, or if you are an experienced writer, consider About.com or Examiner.
Earn Extra Income From Home at Zazzle
This is my absolute favorite and funnest place to earn money online! Zazzle is free to sign up and never a fee to you. It is easy enough for the beginner. Simply turn your art or photos into a T-shirt, poster, canvas, party invitation, (and the list goes on) at zazzle and then it is up in the Marketplace for sale, forever! When someone buys an item, Zazzle creates it and ships the item. You get a percentage of the sale and so does Zazzle!

How to Start a Blog
How to Start a Blog
Blogger is one of the most popular sites to start a blog at. It is free and simple to use.
After you decide which site is best for you to start blogging at, think about what your blog will be about.
A big mistake people make when considering to start a blog is not picking a "Niche" topic.
In other words, pick a subject you will be writing about. Perhaps it is creating cards, or maybe your blog is all about parenting. Pick a subject or Niche.
Blog as often as you can when you start out, perhaps at least once a day.
I will not get into how to make money blogging, but basically, besides creating a Niche blog, and writing often, you want to create traffic. You get paid when people click on your ads around your Blog, so the more traffic, the more money you make.
When you start a blog at Blogger they place AdSense ads around your blog, making getting started that much easier.
Start a blog, write often and be patient. Earnings do not come in quickly, but over time.

How to Make Money at Zazzle
How to make money at Zazzle
You have signed up at Zazzle and as we all are in the beginning, wondering how much money people are making and how long it takes to start making money!
First of all, there are many people at Zazzle earning a full time income, to be exact, $5000 or more a month.
But that, of course, is people who have put alot of time and energy into their Zazzle stores.
Many people say that you need at least 1000 items listed to really be making money there. I, personally, have about 500 items in my Zazzle store and up until this month have had a sale here or a sale there. This month I have made $75 in the past 10 days.
How to Make Money at Zazzle, My story and earnings
This month I did have one large order that I made over $50 on. Someone ordered T-shirts and Posters in one particular design, so I am not sure if they have a store and are going to resell them, or what the story is, but I was excited!
I started Zazzle in September, this past year, so I have been at Zazzle 7 months. The first month I did work hard getting some items up and listed, but with my Ebay Business booming before Christmas, I put Zazzle on hold, I did not add any new items from October until recently. I treat zazzle as a very part time business, thus far. I must say I see alot of potential with it though. Very little work, and the nice thing is once you design something, it is up in the marketplace forever!
My advice on how to make money at Zazzle
Be patient at first. Design as many items you can in the beginning. Out of the many places I make money at online, Zazzle is one of the few I see ALOT of potential to make money at!
How to Make Money at Zazzle, Update!
9/2011
I truly have not added many new designs since I have posted this blog. The cool part is I continue to make money. I usually average between $50 and $100 a month. It gets a bit busier around Christmas. If I continued to add new design at Zazzle, can you imagine how much money I may be making. The coolest part about the residual earnings at Zazzle is that they seem to keep going up! Yeah!

How to get Rich Online
 |
| Ahh, how to get rich online! |
Let's be honest, we all want to be rich. I, personally, have been earning a full time income online for the past 9 years. 7 of those years have been strictly selling at Ebay, and the past few years I have been trying to find other ways to become rich, or make money online.
If you have not been following my blogs, for legitimate ways to make money online, I have found that Ebay, Ehow and Zazzle seem to be the best sites for me. (Update- 9/2011 I still make money at Ebay and Zazzle but writers like myself were bought out by Ehow. I now make most of my income blogging!)
In order to get rich online, you must have a plan.
Do I think I will become rich on any of the three sites I mentioned? Well, there is a possibility, but I try to treat each of those as jobs, and faithfully work hard at each. At any of them alone you can absolutely earn a full time income.
Getting rich online takes work
If you find a "Get rich quick" idea online, you may as well forget it, if it sounds to good to be true, it is. Plain and simple. I like to not only work hard, but set monthly goals.
In order to get rich online, try new things.
Most of the sites I make money at take work, but there is no start up costs or fees ever. I recently started blogging again. I originally tried blogging and did not pick a "Niche" topic, and really made just change. I rethought my idea, researched tons and started a few Niche Blogs.
My extra chances at getting rich online
I decided to think of my blogs as "Lottery Tickets." In other words, instead of buying a lottery ticket, I would write a blog, a few times a week. I understand I have other ways to make money, and am still focusing on those, but my blog may make some pocket change, or I may hit the lottery with it and become rich. In my blogs I have Adsense ads, and I also signed up at Amazon and Clickbank. Basically I place those ads in my blog as well. So, I have three ways to make money on my blog. What motivates me now on my blog is knowing I may become rich online or I may have some days when I just when $20 from "my lottery." (Update 9/2011. I now only use Google Adsense on my blogs and last months earnings were $2400.)
The best way to get rich online is to work hard. If you know sites or have ideas that work well, try them. Be serious and treat your online business seriously, like a job. Even if you do not end up becoming rich, you can absolutely make a nice living online!
I am still not rich by any means, but I absolutely make great full time income. My businesses continue to grow. Last month, as I mentioned I made $2400 blogging, $75 at Zazzle and $800 at Ebay. Although Mahalo is no longer residual, I still earn money there working every day which usually comes out to about $500 a month. Not rich, but since I am not even the technical bread winner in my family, not too bad!

How to Make Money on Ebay
You may want to sell on Ebay part time, or you may want to earn a full time income on Ebay.
This article will give you the tools and show you how to make as much money as you would like at Ebay!
Prior to signing up at Ebay, sign up for free at Paypal. This is where you will be recieving your money from buyers at Ebay.
Sign up for free at Ebay. They will ask for your email address at Paypal and this way your accounts will be set up and you are ready to sell.
Start selling on Ebay! Go through your house and sell unwanted items first. If you want to turn this into a full time business you may shop in bulk or buy wholesale items and resell them on Ebay for a profit, but better than that option is to start going to garage sales every week. Buy things cheap and resell them on Ebay. Garage sales are wonderful, you can often find a .50 cent item and turn it around and sell it on Ebay for $30 or more! There is a little bit of a learning curve to figure out what sells good on Ebay and what does not. But for .50 cents, you cant go wrong. Worst case scenario is you resell it for a few bucks and you are still out ahead!

Beginner Guide: Make Money Working from Home
Beginner Guide: Make money Working from Home
I will rank the sites that I feel are the best for a beginner (or beyond) to make money at working from home, but first let me share something.
Do not fall victim to online scams. Do not pay money upfront, there are too many legitimate sites that really pay. If you have to give money in the beginning or anytime, move on.
To make money working from home will take work, obviously the more time you put into your business, the better, especially in the beginning.
On to my Beginner guide list of great places to make money working from home.
#1 Ebay
You can start at Ebay by selling things you have in your home. Feel free to read my earlier blog of how to turn Ebay into a full time business.
#2 Ehow
Write at Ehow and earn residual income- That just means what you write today, you will still be making money on a year from now. Perfect for the beginner or established writer. You can make great money here, top earners are making $2000 and up, a month. Update, Ehow is no longer taking writers. Demand Studios owned Ehow and is a great place to write at and make money!
#3 Zazzle
Turn your work or art into T-shirts, Posters, invitations etc. Place them in the marketplace there and watch your money come in!
Those three sites are perfect for the beginner and in my experience have shown to be the most profitable. Working from home myself for many years, I personally do not put all "My Eggs" in one basket. I love having money come in from all over the place every month. Update, I have spent maybe 5 hours on Zazzle in the past 8 months and I am earning between $50 and $150 a month. Love it, great place to make money working from home and perfect for a beginner or anyone!
And on with my Beginner Guide: Make Money Working from Home list!
#4 LULU
Write a book or E-book at Lulu! You write and publish your work here for free, then it is up in the marketplace. Lulu gets a percentage of every sale! And so do you. Once your book is written, you just sit back and wait for sales and then you have time to try the other sites I mention, as you are raking in the money!
#5 Blog
I personally do not make tons of money blogging, but I am just getting started. Blogger is a very popular place to write and make money. Update. I am now earning great money from home blogging here. Last month my earnings were at $2400.
#6 and #7 go along with #5 Clickbank & Amazon
On your blog you will be making money from Adsense, and you can open an account with Clickbank & Amazon. Place the ads on your blog and make MORE money!! Update, I now only use Google Adsense. These did not seem to pay off.
I would like to take a moment here to add a few thoughts. My #8, 9 and 10 are places to make money, but I feel the above mentioned sites are better. In my experience, my top three are HEADS above the rest as the best places to make money! Can you make money at the sites I am about to mention, yes. But I would try the first 3 FIRST.

#8 Fiverr
This is a silly place that asks "What would you do for $5" Write what you would do, and make money!
#9

You can write here and make money. They pay up front and residual. The upfront payment is "OK" but the residual money is not the greatest.
