subject: How To Make Money Online [print this page] Quitting your day job and being able to make money online is the dream of many people. Being able to set your own schedule, not having a boss and working from home seem like the perfect situation for most workers. However, many are unsure of the steps necessary to make that dream a reality.
Blogging can be a great starting point for those that want to make money online. While it may not make someone rich, it is a fantastic way to ease into an online career while starting to generate revenue.
The very low start up costs are one of the things that make blogging so attractive. In fact, free hosting and blog templates are available through google. Once you have an account with google, you can add the blogger option for free. If you want a custom domain name without the word "blogspot" in it, it is just a $10 annual fee through blogger.
It is important to focus your blog on a general theme or topic that you are passionate about. This will keep you motivated to continue blogging and ensure the content is as fresh as possible. The key is to keep generating blog posts. As the old saying goes, "content is king". Google has a nice feature that feeds posts to other websites with similar interests. That means more free exposure for your blog.
In order to make money, your blog needs to sell something. It can be anything, but will most likely be advertising. The more interesting you make the blog and the more users you draw each month, the more valuable the advertising space becomes. Google has a very easy to use text based advertising program, but other companies offer display advertising brokerage services. Typically the display advertising opportunities are limited to high traffic sites and blogs.
Blogging can be a great way to dip your toe into the large pool of making money online. As with any business, hard work is essential to making it successful. With blogs, the key is to keep the site interesting and continue to promote it incessantly.
