How to make money blogging.

There's a variety of ways to make some money online, most of which I have been skimming through on the internet for the past few hours.

Anyone can google, "how to make money blogging" but when you come to the actual gritty parts of it, you'll find out it does take a true online artist to begin creating revenue.

There's very few people who can actually make a substantial living off their blogs, most of the times it's renowned authors who have turned to the online world to create more of a profit. But alas, there are ways to support your daily coffee habit through the means of blogging. Let's go over a few simple steps since you your means of googling things to find the answers has brought you here.

Step One: Create your blog.
                                         Here is where you go back to google and search through a variety of finger punching websites that will allow you to publicize rants, opinions, or simply talk about the things and people you admire. My personal preference has been here on blogger. It's very easy and intuitive to pick up from the very beginning, which will hopefully allow me to jump right in on to another blog in the future when I narrow my direct focus upon entering the real world and into college.

Step Two: You've got to blog about what you like. Find your focus and go for it. You shouldn't strictly be blogging from the beginning to just make money. Gain interest, talk about stuff you like and through the process you'll find yourself opening up to new ideas and looking at other blogs. Take ideas from popular blogs, such as layout ideas and make your site worthy of interest when viewers first arrive to it.

Step Three: Implement Ads and Cater to people: Programs such as Google Analytics and AdSense can help you to create ads on your page that will gain clicks by viewers. Other pages such as www.socialspark.com and www.blogsvertise.com work well too. There are numerous ones out there that you can check out and begin using. They're all of relative ease, just sign up and don't forget to keep checking on them.

Step Four: Gain an Audience.
                                               In order for people to begin clicking on ads and advertising for other companies on your blog, you've got to gain an audience. This means sharing your blog with facebook, twitter, and just put it out there with a bunch of tags so you can gain that audience you've been looking for. In time, and along with a slight learning curve, you should begin to accrue some revenue. Be sure to sign up with paypal and link it to a multitude of sites so you can get paid via online sites. You can also link up your paypal to your bank account because it's secure and allows for complete customization which is nice when figuring out what you'd like to do with it.

Good luck my friends. - Cam
