Before you begin the step-by-step procedures given below and start to create your own blog, we recommend that you take a look at a few blogs first. See what you like, what you don’t like, what blogs have etc. To take a look at some blogs, you could go to Blogger.com
There are 100’s of blogs on Blogger.com and all over
the
internet. Take a look at these, read a few so that you get a better
idea about what a blog is. Once you do this, you can begin our
step-by-step guide to making money though your blog. We have given the
steps to start-up your own blog below.
Step 1: Determine a theme:
The first thing you need to do is decide what you are planning
to
talk about on your blog. Are you going to talk about your everyday
life? Are you going to talk about some subject in which you are an
expert? What can you talk about on your blog that is worth reading?
What can you talk about on your blog that will really make people
interested and keep coming back again and again. When choosing the
theme of your blog, choose something that you can write a lot
about.
For example: If you are a house wife with a good sense of humor, you
could start blog called “Adventures of a House
Wife!” where
you talk about all the funny things that keep happening in your
everyday life. If your blog is interesting, you will have a huge fan
base of like minded house wifes who come to your blog each day to read
what you have to say.
OR
If you are a marketing expert, start a blog about marketing. Talk about
marketing and how life is, being a marketing expert. You will have a
large number of people who are interested in marketing coming to your
blog if it is good.
That's the basic idea. Think about your theme and your topic wisely.
What kind of topic will interest people? What kind of topic can you
write about?
Step 2: Select a service:
There are many places where you can set up a good quality
"free of charge" blog. Some of these place are:
Check them out, see what you like, and decide on one. We
suggest Blogger.com. It’s a Google service.
It’s very
good and easy to use. It is also very easy to make money though your
blog by placing adds when you are at Blogger.com.
Step 3: Set up your blog:
Setting up your blog is generally very easy. In the blogging
service
sites mentioned above, there is a very simple and straight forward
process to set up your blog. You just have to make some simple
decisions about how you want your blog to look etc. and you will be
set. Don’t worry, its not at all hard or technical to set up
a
blog. Just go to the blogging service you are interested in and the
rest will fall into place.
Step 4: Write your first post
Okay, now you’re ready to create your first post. If
you are
not really fond of writing or are not really good at writing, this may
be the most difficult step for you. You will have to work hard and be
as creative as possible to come up with interesting things to write
about. With time you will get the hang of it.
If you don’t know where to start, begin with a
“Welcome to
My Blog” post. Tell your prospective readers why you have
started
your blog and what kinds of things you intend to write about.
After you write your first post you have to work on the next great
interesting post. And once you do that, you have to work on the next
great interesting post. If you can do this consistently for a year or
so, and people really start to like your blog, you will start to become
popular. As mentioned earlier, all this takes a whole lot of work!
Now come the most important and difficult step so we will go into it in some more detial.
