How I Make Money Online for FREE Part 1 (Blogs)
People ask me all the time how I make money online. What people don't realize is that it is a combination of things and not just one program or system. Also that it took me years and years to figure out. Now people see the final "product" of me making a very nice living working from home but not the years of me falling for every scam out there.
You can make money from home with out investing any money. It will take time and work but definetly doable. This post will be the first of many outlining the different avenues a utilize to generate income online. Some of these will be a good fit for you and others will not. But ultimately nothing will be costing you any money, that I can guarantee you.
You will not see any get rich quick schemes or programs. You will also not see any type of selling of products. Everything I will be outlining you can do with just your brain and a computer with internet access.
I thought it would be appropiate to have the first part of this series to be about making money blogging, since that is what I am doing right now. There are many free blogging platforms that you can use. The free platform I am using is blog.com but there are many other good ones like wordpress.com and blogger.com. It is ultimately up to you. They are all free and have pretty much the same functionality.
The very first thing you need to do is start blogging. Realistically for a blog to generate income you need to get people reading it. The easiest and free way to gain those visitors is blogging on a consistent basis (3 to 4 times a week) about a topic you enjoy. The fun part is that it can be about whhatever you want. It is important that it be a topic you are interested in because you need to keep producing content. If you consistently post, in about 2 to 3 months you will see that you will begin to gain significant visitors (traffic) from serach engine (Google, Yahoo, MSN). (You can find out more about marketing a blog by clicking here.)
The hardest part is over. You've blogged and blogged for months without making a dime and are finally getting traffic. Now it is time to monetize your traffic. What does that mean? Start making money from the people coming to your site. I'm going to recommend two ways. These two strategies are the basics and all the other options out there are variations on these two.
The very first way is through something like Google Adsense or Yahoo. These are programs that pay you every time one of your visitors clicks the ads posted on your site. I have been using Google for years and make significant income every month from ad revenue. Some people like Yahoo but ultimately it is up to you. Both are free to join and good programs. You can learn more about Google adwords by clicking below.
The second route I use to make money from my blog is a site called pay per post. This is still based around ad revenue, but a little different approach then Google or Yahoo. This is more of a blogger community who puts their services out to bid. You make money by advertisers bidding on advertising on your site. You can also make money by posting your blogging sevices and getting hired. Once again this is absolutely free to join. The major requirement to be part of this community is that your blog has to be active for at least three months. By active it means that you have to post at least once a week to join.
