Your First Money Making Blog

Without going overboard, the internet offers anyone who has a
computer and a net connection the opportunity to change their
situation-a way of making money that did not exist years ago. As long
as you are willing to learn and put in the work, there is no reason why
you cannot start your own successful online business. One of the ways
of doing so is by creating a monetized blog site.

The way that you need to create that blog has changed and is still
changing, with new ideas replacing older concepts that used to be the
‘norm’ for making money from your blog.

The recognition and explanation of what these changes are and how
you can make your blog different from the other blogs are the reasons
why this e-book is different from the others that you may have read.

Before getting into how you can build your blog to generate bigger
blogging profits, let us start at the very beginning by considering what
you need to do to get your first blog site off the ground.


A brief blogging history and some things you must understand:

The word blog is an abbreviation of ‘weblog’, which hints at the genesis
of this type of site as being online journals. In the early days, these
were almost exclusively personal online journals. People would create a
site telling the world about themselves and what they were doing by
typing information into a ready-made page format, before publishing
that information for the world to see in a matter of minutes.

The beauty of blogs was that previously you would have needed some
level of HTML skills to create a webpage, but using a blogging platform
meant that all you need to do was type and then hit the button to
publish.

Since those early days, blogs have moved on and now a significant
percentage of them are business focused. The majority of these
business-based blogs are focused in a particular way.

The majority provide information rather than products or services for
sale, which is something I will examine in greater detail later in this
report. On any blog site you create, it is necessary to provide valuable
free information that will keep your visitors coming back time after
time, irrespective of how you plan to make money from your site.
