By Angela Booth

Do you want to make money blogging? You can, if you have a plan for success. In this article, you'll discover how to develop your own blog toolkit -- get ready, and let's go!

Firstly, let's discuss blogging as a business. Blogging is not a get-rich-quick scheme. However, it can be a get-rich-slowly scheme, if you're prepared to take action and to be patient. Blogs have been sold for millions of dollars, so the potential for a big payday is always there. Your blogs may never make you wealthy beyond your dreams, but you can grow them into profitable businesses.

Here's your money-making blogging toolkit.

1. Develop Your "Home" Blog -- It's a Source of Traffic

A tip: your blogging income comes from blog content plus traffic.

With this in mind, establish a blog which will serve as your "home" blog -- your flagship blog from which you can hive off other blogs. Your flagship blog is worth all the time and attention you pay to it, because it can become a gold mine for you, the longer it's online.

Always remember that with any blog the "content plus traffic equals income" rule applies. Your flagship blog will enable you to launch other blogs, and get an immediate flow of traffic to them.

2. Pick and Choose Products to Promote

Once you've established your flagship blog and have created some content, it's time to start monetizing that content. The easiest way is by promoting affiliate products. When you act as an affiliate, you get a percentage of sales from your blog.

Affiliate income is a fast way to monetize a new blog As your traffic to your blog grows, so will your affiliate income.

3. Choose Your Promotional Methods

Once you have content on your blog and have monetized it, the more traffic you can get to your blog the better.

The final tool in your blogging toolkit is your promotional methods. Pick a variety of methods. For example, you could choose Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising, ezine advertising, and banner advertising. Spend some time every day promoting your blog and track your efforts. If you track, you'll soon discover which promotional methods are most effective for your blog.

So there you have three tools for your money-making blogging toolkit. Use them and prosper.
