Thousands of people are using their blogs to generate extra income. We'll show you how to get started.
1) What to Blog About
If you have a business website, blog about topics within your business. If it's more of a personal website or topic related, then use the blog to comment about your particular interests. Either way, a blog is most effective when used to convey the opinions of the author on any given subject.
2) Setup your Blog
Either install simple to use blogging software on your website such as WordPress, or go to sites like Blogger and Tumlr where they will host a blog for you. Make sure to name your blog and use your relevant keyword phrases within your blog name. Setting up an RSS feed for your blog allows publishers and readers to instantaneously gain access to your content as soon as you put it out there. With the blogging systems and websites that exist out there today, you can go all out with the type of content you want published on it. You could even have video on your blog with just a few clicks.
3) Fill it with content
The best way for generating blog content is to just voice your opinion regarding news and current events. Read the news and articles on the web and voice your opinion about what's going on in your particular topic. Voice your opinion. I'm sure that there are tons of other people that have the same interests as you and are looking for people that share the same values and opinions.
4) Let the world know about your Blog
Use social bookmarking sites such as Digg and Delicious to bookmark each one of your blog posts. This works to your advantage twofold. First by increasing the number of links to your website, which subsequently helps to improve your website's search engine ranking. Two, by sharing your blog posts with the entire social web 2.0 community.
5) Monetize your Blog
Find affiliate programs through Amazon, Commission Junction, Clickbank and other affiliate networks that relate to your niche market. Place advertisements on your blog pages for those affiliate programs. If someone happens to click on an advertisement on your blog and makes a purchase, then you will be rewarded with a commission. How much you make depends on how much traffic you could drive to your website and how good the affiliate program offers are.
These techniques work marvelously when you are selling your own products and services as well. Instead of referring business to an affiliate program merchant site, use your blog to make sales in-house.
