Blogging – what a truly amazing thing. Anyone who can write and has access to an iphone or computer can create a blog, and subsequently generate passive income. Some of the wealthiest people in the world generate passive income from blogs. Furthermore, since you can write about what ever you want, blogging can be a lot more enjoyable that pushing random affiliate products online.

1) Blogging Basics – Anyone can create a blog for free at blogger.com – this is a great option for people who do not want to risk anything. There is an easy way to integrate adsense or affiliate links into your blog, and provided you direct traffic to your blog, you can make money immediately. However, you should know that it takes quite a bit of traffic to generate any real income with adsense. A good rule of thumb for adsense is that you will make about 10 dollars per 1000 unique visitors. Of course, with targeted traffic good affiliate offers can pay you 10 dollars per 10 visitors! A great place to start promoting affiliate offers is clickbank.com or markethealth.com

2) Blogging for Profit – Bloggers willing to put up a mini investment of 8 dollars per month for hostgator.com can host their very own blog with there own domain ( example: internetbusinessmakemoney.org ) – upon signing up with hostgator you will recieve cpanel details which you will use to log into your new blog. From your cpanel locate a small smiley face icon labeled “fantastico” – click on it and install wordpress on your desired domain. After this, you’ll log into your new wordpress blog via yoursite.com/wp-admin – from their you can begin posting! Inserting affiliate links into relevant posts is generally considered a good way to monetize (big word for ‘make money’) on your blog – so for example if you write a blog post about how to get white teeth, then somewhere in the post, include a hyperlink to a free trial of a tooth whitening pen ( again, sign up for an account with markethealth.com to promote health products and earn commision ).

3) Getting traffic to your blog – even if you have a wonderful blog, bursting with mouth watering content, and are promoting the hottest most relevant affiliate offers possible, you will not make money without traffic. So how do you get traffic to your blog? I good way to make a solid foundation is to post comments on other blogs, when you leave comments, be sure to mention your blogs web address, or even better create a hyper link (for example http://www.yoursite.com ) to your blog. Create a facebook group for your blog and invite friends to join. And finally, find relevant forums to post on and build links to your blog. Traffic generation is a very deep subject that can learned about in my other posts.

And finally, for serious bloggers looking to take their blog to the next level, this product can literally change your financial situation over night. Cheers!
