Making Money Blogging

So can you make money from blogging with investing little money yourself? One guy is doing it using blogger. Here’s the formula:

1. Research a niche term
2. Start a “blogger” blog (free)
3. Post articles relating to this niche term
4. Slap some adsense on the page or other affiliate links

Sounds “easy” enough eh?

Some concerns raised are:
1. Blogger “could” delete your blog on a whim (unlikely but possible).
2. You’re writing on topics you don’t “care” about and thus it’s just a “job”.

Philosophically, each person has to decide what’s their end goal. If it’s job “satisfaction” then yes, you might not want to create multiple blogs on topics you don’t care about. For me, if you are successful at it, you could outsource the blog writing for a minimal amount of cash. People are writing on topics for 0.02 to 0.03 cents a word on Digital Point. You could turn this into a blogging empire.

Ebiz through WordPress Blogs

I’ve recently started making websites using WordPress. I first heard about it in various forums and with Hostgator it comes as an easy install. Here is what I’ve been doing:

1. Ebiz idea
2. Purchase domain name at godaddy.com
3. Add sub-domain on my main hostgator.com account
4. Route the domain pointers from godaddy to hostgator
5. Using the cpanel admin with hostgator, go to fantastico
6. Once in fantastico, select WordPress

Just answer a few install questions and the script will install and configure everything for you. Congrats, you have a blog!

The install will give you the default template but I doubt you’ll be satisfied with that. Here is where you’ll need to learn some CSS. The WordPress admin panel allows you to modify your theme files, but be sure to back them up before starting.

Another great thing about using WordPress is the community support. There are 100′s of themes for you to use and they are a snap to install. Just download the theme, upload it to your web hosting account, and then it’s available in the admin panel!

If you need a quick website solution, definitely consider using WordPress.
