How to start a blog

If you are to have a dominate blog, you will need to get high search engine rankings and WordPress and Blogger do exactly that for you, my friend. You don't have to know anything about Web Design and even less about Programming. It's almost as simple as picking your blog template, choosing what you want to write about and writing away. Ok. Now you will want to pick out a blog name and the niche, or subject that your blog will be revolving around. DO yourself a favor and use Google's keyword tool to pull up dozens and dozens of keywords that people are searching for in your particular niche. For instance: You are starting a blog on Fantasy Football. Use those two keywords in Google's keyword tool to see a huge list of other common search terms that people are searching for. This will give you key knowledge of what words to use in stuff like, the title of your blog, the main text and links in your blog. When choosing the subject of your blog, you will want to pick a subject that you are pretty passionate about, especially if you are a beginner. The reason behind this is because picking a subject that you have knowledge in will put you on the fast track to making blog money and, since you know what you are talking about, people will want to come back to your blog on a consistent basis. Once you are a blogging expert, which could take as little as a couple days, you can then branch out into subjects that might be profitable to you, because you will be able to learn them fairly quickly. If you come across like an expert to your readers, they will want to flock back to your blog for your most recent blog post. This is ultimately what you want. Your main source of blog money will come from people that trust you. Writing a blog can be very fun, but it can also be a bit frustrating when yo are first starting out. The good news is that you don't have to let this happen to you. To get over this hump quickly, all you have to do is study what the Big Guns are doing. Study their writing styles for a bit. Do they come across like a good friend? How long are their posts? How are the making money in their niche and how are they promoting it? It won't take you long at all to learn the little tricks that they use to make their blog money. The easiest way to make money, especially for newcomers, is by using Google AdSense on your blog. Placing these ads on your blog will help you create a steady income from all readers, not just readers that are returning to your blog on a consistent basis. The next step in creating blog money is to advertise products on your blog as an affiliate. You can find out more about becoming an affiliate of products by visiting websites such as ClickBank and Commission Junction. Making money as an affiliate is done by doing things like writing reviews of the product, or telling people about a product that can help them achieve something that they desperately want.
