Launch Your Blog, Laugh to the Bank

Are you ready to start blogging?

That's right! By the end of this article you'll be publishing your own blog using Google's own Blogger technology.

What is a blog?

Here's a direct description from the Blogger website:

"A blog gives you your own voice on the web. It's a place to collect and share things that you find interesting— whether it's your political commentary, a personal diary, or links to web sites you want to remember.

Many people use a blog just to organize their own thoughts, while others command influential, worldwide audiences of thousands. Professional and amateur journalists use blogs to publish breaking news, while personal journalese's reveal inner thoughts. The blogging experience is about not only putting your thoughts on the web, but hearing back from and connecting with other like-minded folks."

Why publish a blog?

Publishing a blog allows you to instantly create new content-rich web pages. These new pages can be linked to from the home page of your current website and/or promoted separately. By creating additional content-rich website pages and promoting them from your home page or through other means, you'll be accomplishing two important things
1) You'll provide more value for your website visitors. This increases the "stickiness" of your website making people stick around longer and ultimately trust you more. On the Internet, trust translate to profits!

2) Search engines LOVE fresh content created through blogs. By publishing your own blog and adding fresh content to it on a regular basis, you'll attract the attention of the major search engines who will list your website in their directories for FREE. That's right! As soon as you have pages of your blog in the search engines, you'll start attracting free qualified traffic to your site without paying a dime for it.

It could be a place simply to publish your thoughts... kind of like an online journal.

Or it could be a place to post news and information about your business.

Or it could be used as a promotional platform to drive traffic to your main website and products you are affiliated with.

Ultimately, the choice is yours.

Again, here's Blogger's own summary of what a blog is:

"A blog gives you your own voice on the web. It's a place to collect and share things that you find interesting— whether it's your political commentary, a personal diary, or links to web sites you want to remember.

Many people use a blog just to organize their own thoughts, while others command influential, worldwide audiences of thousands. Professional and amateur journalists use blogs to publish breaking news, while personal journalese's reveal inner thoughts.

The blogging experience is about not only putting your thoughts on the web, but hearing back from and connecting with other like-minded folks."

What I hope you realize is that you are now empowered to express yourself on the web however you want through your blog. Whether you do it for personal reasons or professional ones is up to you.


To start making money with you blog this three steps will be necessary:


Step 1 : Write your own Articles.

Step 2: Format your Articles to your taste

Step3: Tell people about your new blog


Before we get into the action of marketing your blog, let me expand on the philosophy of why blogging and publishing content online is so important and profitable...

First, most people surfing the Internet are looking for information. In other words, most people are not actively seeking to buy a product. And nearly everyone expects to get the information they are seeking for free...

Speaking specifically about the marketplace of people who are "interested" in having a home business and/or making money online, most of these people want to find good information about the subject first.

Therefore, becoming a provider of trustworthy information about home businesses, work at home opportunities and online money making ideas positions you as the source for what people are actually looking for in the first place.

If you have an Ad sense Google Account you can add Ads code to your blog to make more money.

Click customize on the Layout menu, then click on Page element and on the layout click on Add page Element and series of elements will be shown to you click on Ad sense and follow all the step by step procedures to success.

When you are done view the blog and give Google say like ten minutes to show your Ad sense according to the content of your page as it may be showing general Ads for some minutes.

As visitors to your blog click on the Ads by Google on your blog a token is paid to you by Google.
