Make money blogging for beginers

   You've landed on this page because you're looking to make money online. you also may have asked yourself if it's possible to make to make money blogging. If you are just starting out, you don't want to get unrelated information about this. It's very easy to get sidetracked and overwhelmed in ones search to make money online. So I suggest you stay on course and don't bounce all over the place searching and searching.

     This blog is about learning how to blog and make money at it. You will be making money by learning to blog and doing something called "monetizing". This is done through Affiliate Marketing.  Most Affiliate Marketing is not rewarding, because it isn't done properly. I will be suggesting other sites that you can promote and make money every time somebody clicks on your ads.  Proper placement of ads in your blogs will make  you money. As you navigate through the pages, you'll learn how to first start making money with Google Adsense. you will have to register with Google and I will show you how.

   It's possible that you could care less about blogs. Many people don't, but many do. Blogs may not be for you. Some may have ethical qualms about making money from blogs. In any case, read on. You may find this content at least informative and well worth your while.

   You may also have burning question:"Why am I willing to share all of this information for free?" As you learn a bit more about this subject, you will realize that I'm not doing this out of the sheer goodness of my heart. I do have a good heart and do enjoy doing this, but sharing good free  information with the World Wide Web, is actually a very good policy and one that can make you money.

   This is why:  Writing is not really most everyone's "bag". Most people would rather copy and paste stuff they feel will make them a quick buck and "steal" your unique content. This may work for a few copy cats. But Google frowns on "Copy and Paste Sites" and penalize them. they may rank well for as while, especially when they pay to get ranked. But a good thing has come out of this for you. These sites inevitably give you something called "back links" and actually help your page rank better.

   Blogs are free and that's their biggest advantage. It will be well worth your efforts to become proficient with them and eventually master them. .com's, .net's and .org's  can get expensive. That is why I chose to blog, even though it has required application of the pointers I'm about to give you.

   I need to caution you first, without any niceties or "sugar on top". If you're looking for a system that will make you money almost immediately, this is not for you. I haven't found it in the many years that I've been online. I consider myself a fairly intelligent and informed person, but above all persistent. And I repeat: "I haven't found it yet". You will find a lot of claims to the contrary: "Buyer beware! I'm not selling you anything here, so relax. Put your wallet away.

   If you are an expert blogger who just stumbled on this article, you too may find it valuable. But if you're looking for a quick buck, don't "waste your time" here and I will tell you why:

   Blogging, like any worthwhile venture, requires a few prerequisites. Above all of these, you'll need persistence. Although it's a great platform to write on---and free---you'll need to learn some basics. these include, but are not limited to:

1. Fairly good writing skills. You don't have to be a professional writer, but a good command of the language in which you blog and a flair for writing are a must. When I see a badly written piece, poorly communicated and full of typos, my confidence is shattered and I leave the page.

2. You'll need creativity. Google rewards unique content. If you just copy and paste everything, you'll be better off not blogging. Such requires you to put to use some of your neurons and intellectual abilities. it's probably better to write about a subject you are already familiar with and this is why. When you know about a subject well, say "recipes", you will have had successes with this as you've gotten proficient at it. Your information will tend to be more factual and genuine. Fiction, for example can be a tough subject as it requires a great deal of imagination and research. There are many great Science Fiction writers that have a great command of the subject. But remember that even they had to become very familiar with the subject before they eventually became successful.

3.  Fairly good computers skills are very helpful, but not a must. I think that the above are the most important pre- rec's. But knowing your computer well, having a good browser and learning how to organize your computer files will save you lots of time and grief.

4.  Blogs have many advantages, if written and optimized correctly. But they have downfalls. Apparently Google prefers the .coms, .nets or .orgs. But this is not always so. There are a few expert bloggers, emphasis on FEW, who rank very well. One of these is Grizz. I follow him. I can't say he's got it all pegged. But I can tell you that he dominates the "make money online" subject. I heed his advice.

     Therefore you'll need to know how to optimize your blogs. This includes Search engine Optimization, which is the subject of another posting or blog, but I thought I should mention it. You'll also need to know subjects like "keyword density", "backlinks", etc.

    I'm sure I didn't cover it all. I just wanted to get this post up. I realized that I've written quite a bit about "Make Money Blogging", but haven't broken it down to basics as above.

    I suggest you start at the beginning.  It's very tempting to get sidetracked. I'm writing with "blogger in a Draft".

    Just click on the link on the link above and you'll be re-directed to this special edition of Blogger. It allows you to add up to 10 pages to your blog, independent of your main posts.  This is a great feature as you can lay out your blog just like a website. The more you use it, the more proficient you'll get at it and the more professional your blogs will look. Some blogs actually look and rank better than websites.

    Making money online requires that you work hard at it. But the rewards are there to be had. Persevere and you'll get there.

To your success,

Carlos
