You must have heard about marketing skills, this one also comes under marketing skills, being creative at writing blog posts.

There are so many blogs giving out free information about everything in this world, there are thousands of bloggers, who give same information on their blog, some of them just copy word to word from other famous blogs, some just do it with a very little information, some do it with a lot of spelling and grammatical mistakes, some write about it even if they don’t have any idea about what to write.

If you want to write about it again, you need to be unique and informative, but at first, you need to be creative, so that readers should know, you have the knowledge about what you are writing.

They will read the whole post, only if they are convinced that they are not going to waste their time by reading another piece of crap.

Blogging is not an extension of journalism, so I won’t ask you to get a degree, but I’ll ask you to learn few key steps of how to start an article, how to give a heading and what to write in first paragraph.

Having the knowledge on a particular topic is not the only thing necessary to write a good post, you need to understand that the readers are not aware of it and you need to put all your knowledge in writing, so that they could understand it easily.

Writing something in a step by step way is good for learners and observes. They will catch it easily. And if you manage to make them understand, what you wanted to. They will directly come to you, the next time.

If you have not read my about page, let me tell you my story, how I got into money making online.

When I came to Delhi in 2006, I used to get a fixed amount of money from home. My monthly was Rs5000 ($125). Delhi was expensive and I was a teenager, so it was next to impossible to get all what you need at this age.

The most important thing is that you can’t get a girlfriend with that king of budget (you know, all the food expenses and mobile phone bills). You can never get any luxury with that much money. But sleeping was the only luxury you get free of cost, so I enjoyed it the most. You can’t imagine, I even lived a life where I had to skip one time meal to survive until I get money the next month.

This was the time I joined Global Vantedge India (GVI) in September, 2006. My job was to make calls to US, AT&T Account holders and ask for the payment of the past due amount on their accounts. This was not a respectable job but I had to do it, to cover my expenses I am so sick of these girls demanding gifts all the time.

But as I started working in GVI, I started living according to the US time zone. My social life went off and I was unacceptable in USA and even in India. I was a guy who had a Fake American Accent and an Indian Face. People of America were not ready to take me as an American whereas my Indian friends started calling me American.

After working there for 5 months, I finally quit the job as it was limit of my patience, I had no stamina to live jet lagged life without even traveling anywhere in the world.

I didn’t resign from there, I was absconding from there. And I enjoyed the most luxurious and free thing that is sleeping for two months. After that, when I again started getting tight with budget, I started looking for a job, and this time a made it very clear that I am not going to do a call center job. But also no sales or marketing field job.

So , I started searching for online job, any kind of, be it data entry, buying selling of any damn thing. I had already tried Adsense back in 2006 but it didn’t work for me. So I just started reading about how to earn money.

One day when I was reading an article on a Website, I noticed a paid post above it. there was also a banner that was of smorty. I clicked on it and came to know that I pays to review the advertiser’s products or services.

That was the time I came to know about getting paid by writing reviews on your blog.

Blogs were not new to me as I started blogging in 2005, but I was not a regular blogger and it wasn’t for money, I just made few pages writing about me and my photos. But this was the time I did a research about blogs and how is it useful in making money. I also searched all other sites like smorty. I got many sites like Sponsored Reviews, Pay Per Post, Review Me, Blogvertise.

And then I made my 1^st blog 365 dreams a year. It was on a sub domain. I wrote on that blog and submitted it free directories, did everything to popularize it. After one month I got an opportunity to review a products, that was the time I got my first $$ in my PayPal account.

At the same time a continued my research about blogs and making money online, as it was the only way to get financial freedom. I made a target that I’ll buy a domain as soon as I get that much in my PayPal. After writing two reviews, I got $9.75 in my account, so I registered a Domain AsioGroups.com and got it hosted on freehostia.com. but I also worked on my 1^st blog. I did the same thing on this blog too and after some time I started writing review on both blog. Being a student, I had plenty of time, so I devoted 8 hours daily to my blog and wrote reviews and popularized my blogs.

After just two months, I was making enough money blog my blogs. it was very less in comparison to all other big shots, but it added allot of value to my life. That was the time, when reviews were in craze and there was allot of money in it. and when the times passed by, I learned other ways of making money, like private ads, providing services, selling eBooks, affiliate marketing. However, I haven’t tried those entire things yet. But will try all of them in near future.

During the journey of making money online, I not only made money, but made few quality friends, got so much knowledge from designing to writing, from link building to SEO. As it is said “the process of learning never stops” my research for it will continue, as there is no Permanent method for making money online.

On 2006-07 it was reviews, and in 07-08 it was private ads. So, tomorrow it would be something else. I will keep researching and keep updating you all on this blog, so do follow my blog by getting its feeds in your favorite reader or get my posts in your email inbox.

There are a lot of people who make money from their personal blog, and there are people who have made their personal blog, a make money online blog.

Well, I believe that you can make your blog anything and write anything on your blog after get reasonable number of visitors to your site.

People, who don’t want to make money from their personal blog, are in minority, if you devote time to something, and it can give you some output, I mean it can add few bucks to your pocket, almost all of us would do it.

But one thing is very clear, if you have a personal blog, the chances of making direct money from you blog is very less, as people will read you blog just to kill time or they like to read your blog, you are not teaching them anything, So you cant sell them anything, I am not saying if its impossible to sell something to visitors, but that again is in minority.

The other thing about personal blog is, Search Engine Traffic is very less in comparison to other blogs which are on Hobbies or count even a How to Make Coffee blog.

They get more search engine traffic than a personal blog.

Personal blog readers come again and again to check what else is going on in your like, (if they enjoying the prior experience of reading your blog post)

Advertising can go well on your blog because you get traffic.

So, if you got a personal blog, enough visitors on your blog. You can make money and no one should mind it.

I believe, if you are putting your effort and time to something, it’s not bad to get something out of it.

Merits of advertising on personal blog

Personal blogs are blog where you write anything what like, so a person can like anything. This increases the chances of having so many things to advertise.

Demerits of personal blog

If you have got a personal blog, keep online ting in mind, the chances to sell something to your readers are very less. You can’t directly make money from your readers. This is because these personal blogs are written in an informal way and tend to give some kind of entertainment value to the reader. This is the reason people visit personal blog. They are not there to gain something or buy something.

Non profit making personal blogs

There are also blog that don’t make money. Few are not aware of it and few don’t want to make money from it. Most of them are personal blogs.

There are so many people who don’t know What  RSS is, there are people who even don’t know what a blog is.

And I also know that there are many bloggers who have written about what a blog is and what RSS is.

But still I wanted to write it on my blog, for my new readers. So people, who know What RSS is and how does it work, Please bear it with me.

RSS is nothing but a medium by which you can get feeds of your favorite websites. You can collect the content of a Website at one place, or in other sense you can say, RSS is a Content Provider, you don’t need to go to different websites to read, RSS does your work, it brings it to you. It collects everything at one place. The full form could be said as Rich Site Summary (RSS).

There are two types of feeds, Full Feeds and Partial Feeds.

There has always been a Discussion about which feed is the best. However I use full feeds for my blogs.

There are two ways you can get updates of your favorite Website or blog

1) RSS

2) Via Email

Not going to the technicalities. I would like to tell you how RSS works.

PS: I’ll write an eBook to show How to promote your Blog, and I will include this topic too.

For Example, if you liked a Site and you want to read it daily as it gets updated on a daily basis, you can’t always remember to visit so many sites. So RSS helps you allot. Just grab the feed of that site or blog to your favorite Feed Reader.

Well, I use Google Reader and Would Recommend it to all of you, because it is just like Gmail, where you get feeds from your favorite sites just like you get an email in your Gmail Inbox.

Take look at both Screenshots:

This is my Gmail Inbox

This is my Google Reader

So, put the feeds of your favorite site or blog to your Google Reader and you will get feeds from the site whenever it is updates, So you don’t need to worry about missing something which you don’t want to miss.

There are few Merits of Reading the content in feed reader than reading it directly on site.

In one window only, you get to read everything.

All the content is in plain text form, only links and pictures in blog post are shown.

No particular blog design comes to your feed reader.

How you can get AsioGroups in your Feed Reader

Asiogroups provides full feeds of the content and its subscription is free. You will get only the content of this blog nothing else. There are to way to get updates of this blog.

Subscribe it in a Reader

OR

Get updates via Email

Both are free and can be done by clicking on the links.

If you will start using Feed Reader, you will start enjoying it do share you experience with us in comments.

Well, as this is my main blog and I give much more importance to this blog than my other blogs, all because this is my oldest blog and it is my money maker. But Still I skip day to post something.

This is Because, I don’t have much to say. I stay online everyday for almost 10 hours ( Excluding Saturdays and Sundays) But Still I don’t  keep publishing like a Mad Bull.

My Excuse

The Reason is, I get nothing new to tell my readers, I get to read about 100 feeds of different blogs which are in business development or make money online thing. I read everything on their blog. sometimes I see the same topics on so many blogs.

After Reading all those posts, I fell everyone has put there thing online and I don’t have anything else or say anything new to say.

I don’t want to be repetitive, because I know I am not the only Business developer who whom your are following or visiting  blogs.

I fear that you might have read this on some other blog and now if I’ll write about it. I’ll Lose a Reader.

Other Bloggers think the Same way

There are many blogger who think the same way as I do. there is no need to be in this Niche, I am Talking about blogging as a whole.

There is no need to be sacred about writing what has already been written by someone else, or by your competitor.

Suggestion

I’ll suggest you to read that particular blog post, do a little research about it and see if he has forgotten something else to write, or has he written it the write way. will this post make everyone aware of it? Is he a good writer, a good narrator, a good presenter.

work on it and refers your readers about that post and tell that you would like to add few more thing to it.

and this is the way you thing about it..

this practice is doing fine for me, so i hope if its working for me. it will work for you guys too.

Best of Luck and do tell me about it in your comments

Thanks!

Hope this article will walk you through the process of setting up a blog for you.

You must have read how to make money online to make money online,

Now, that you are ready with few dollars, to buy a domain and hosting for you blog.

Buying a Domain

Buy a domain name from 1and1.com, the Domain will cost you $6.99/Year.

Don’t just take any domain name, think, think and think which name you want you blog to call

It should be related to on what topic you are going to blog about. It’s pretty important to name you blog as what service or information your blog is providing to visitors.

For Example, If you are going to write about dogs, so you domain name should include dog or anything related to dog in it, so that people should understand that your blog is about dogs, and if they are really looking for something related to dogs, they will remember your site and will visit it.

Buying a Hosting Plan

A blog mainly contains Content and Pictures sometime, so it take not that much of space, so you don’t need a 1000gb space for just on blog, (you are not going to upload movies on your Hosting server)

So if the site offers you a minimum package plan, grab it, and if you can always upgrade you plan if you feel the requirement of adding few more blogs when you start enjoying blogging and want to add few more sources of income.

I recommend you to use Hostgar or 1and1.com, they offer really nice plan and the best thing is that you can add as many as domains in one hosting plan. The web space they offer is enough for a so many blogs.

Changing the name servers

Now that you have got your domain and hosting, the next thing you have to do is changing the name serves, so that your domain can actually show your stuff which is going to be saved on your web space. Go to the control panel of GoDaddy.com and put the name servers provided by the hosting. Wait for few hours till the DNS refreshes.

By using the information given by the hosting, log in to Cpanel and make the MySQL database name, username and password.

Now that everything is done, you can use the automated system to install Wordpress (the most wonder full Content Management Software) Wordpress, is a platform on which a blog runs.

Enough talk has been done about blogging, now its time to act but not stop thinking.

If you think you will start your own blog, when you know about few things like, how to kick start, how to get readers or how to find a niche (the blog community which writes on a particular topic).

You can actually start a blog right away, and I’ll suggest you to start a blog on your own domain and host it on a paid hosting. It just takes $9.99/year for a domain and the hosting goes like $6.99/Month.

Starting a Sub Domain Blog

If you still think that it is something you cant afford right now (as you don’t know anything about blogging) you can always start a blog on a sub domain such as wordpress.com or blogger.com (there are lot more, but these two are common and free) however you will get a blog url which will be something like this {yourblog.wordpress.com or yourblog.blogspot.com}.

Star a blog on them and start experimenting on them for a while you are learning the A,B,C of blogging. As these blog are free, so there is nothing to loose except the time you put in.

You know I made my 1st $ from a sub domain blog and then I bought a Domain for my blog and it ran on free hosting for few months and after that I moved it to paid hosting, but I wont recommend you to run your blog on free hosting (I will explain you later, don’t worry) Freehostia.com is a hosting service which also provides a plan for free hosting.

Monetizing your Blog

There are few ways that you can use to make some money in order to buy a domain and hosting for you. These are Google Adsense, Few other CPA Programs, and Paid Reviews.

However, Paid reviews are the fastest way to make some money (Read Here).

People who don’t know about PayPal (Read Here)

Eligibility for getting paid reviews

Not every blogger can get to write paid reviews, because people who pay you for writing about their products are not fool to give away their money to people who just write anything about their products.

They want you to write a positive review and recommend their product by linking their product or service URL to your blog.

For that, you blog must have a good page rank, and a decent about of traffic, so that people can read about the product.

There are few services which act as a middle man between the blogger and publishers. You can sign them up and get the opportunities to write for money.

All they need is

• Three month old blog
• Blog should have at least 20 posts
• All the post must be about 200 words long
• A decent traffic and page rank (it could be 0 too)

These things could easily get you through in their system and you may continue to make money blogging.
