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.

Blogging For the Beginner, Making Money

If you are not a beginner, no need to read this post.

Although I have been selling on Ebay for 9 years, Blogging and making other sources of income online, are still new to me. I realize there is so much to still learn.

I was remembering wanting to make money online, but had no idea of where to start- FOREVER. I really had no idea. I did start blogging, but had it all wrong. You can see my first Blog here and it includes everything from crafting to UFC fighting and everything in between. I know now that was WRONG. You hear people say write a Niche Blog. What that means is pick a topic. One topic. For example the title if my blog here is Make Money on the Internet legitimately. Each of my blogging articles is about ways to make money online.

Blogging For the Beginner, Making Money Where to start blogging?
Blogger is a great place for the beginner, and not just my opinion, I have read it over and over again.

Once you have figured out your blog title or Niche, sign up and begin writing.

How you make money Blogging, for the beginner:
In a nutshell, you get paid from the ads on your blog and people clicking on them. Blogger makes it easy to have AdSense ads on your blog. Then, here at blogger you can click "Layout" and place more ads on your Blog easily.

Take it a step farther. Sign up at Clickbank & Amazon and you can put ads on your blog from each of them. If people buy things from Amazon or Clickbank, you earn a percentage. Update 9/2011 I did not want to edit this article Blogging For the Beginner, Making Money too much. I like to see where I started and it is great for you to see, as well. I now only use Google Adsense on my blogs. And PS! It took many years but my earnings are way up to higher than I hoped for. When I wrote Blogging For the Beginner, Making Money, I had the right ideas. Be patient and just keep writing. I now earned $2400 last month!

Sell on Ebay and Make Money

Sell on Ebay & Make Money
My main source of income is from Ebay. I have been selling on Ebay for 9 years, and the past 3 of those years I have been a trading assistant at Ebay (which means, I sell for other people and earn a percentage off each item)! I do earn a full time income just on Ebay, but I would love to come to the point in life where hubby gets to quit his job and I earn enough money to support us all and our way of life. That is why I started expanding and learning other ways to make money on the internet.

Starting out at Ebay, prior to selling on Ebay, I was too scared to even begin. I wanted to sell on Ebay, just thought I would not be able to do it. I paid someone to show me the ropes. It took about 3 hours and then went home and was able to do it on my own.

Ways to make a full time income at Ebay.
Start by selling things in your own home you do not need.
Then I get the question, what next? Should I buy from a wholesale company? My answer is no. That may work fro some people, but honestly, with the economy the way it is, there are better ways to make more money on Ebay.

Go to garage sales, buy things super cheap and make a ton of money. This sounds too easy to be true. I have story, after story on the money I have made doing this. I will share just 2 examples. Last year I bought a Prada wallet for .75 cents at a garage sale and turned around and sold it for $73.99. Years ago, I came across a garage sale with "Boyds Bears" I knew Boyds bears sold well, but I had no idea of how much money I would make. I ended up spending every dime in my wallet and bought boxes and boxes of Boyds bears (keep in mind, this was before the economy went bad) I ended up spending about $40 and I made over $5000. This type of thing does not happen rarely, but more like often. It will be a learning experience, you will learn what sells good and what does not and that takes time. But if you are spending .50 cents on the item, you know you can for sure turn around and resell it for $2.00 atleast, so there is nothing to lose and so much to gain.

In my 9 years selling on Ebay, I have never bought wholesale. Like, I mentioned, if you have time to go to garage sales, it is silly not too.

I have written 2 articles at Ehow on how to start selling on Ebay. I will include the link. I have taught probably 10 people to sell on Ebay, in person. Just in my spare time. It is easier than you think, and they pretty much guide you step by step.
