How To Make Money and Profit by Having Your Own Blog

There are a few ways for you to make money and profit by having your own blog and I will cover a few of them here.

Before we get started though, there are some things you will need to get set up in order for your blog to be successful.

First, you will need to decide where you want to have your blog. You can either create your own, which will take some knowledge and expertise. Or, you can set up a blog on a third party site such as blogger.com. Now there are other sites where you can set up your blog and if you just do a quick search on your favorite search engine, you will find several other options.

Second, you should choose a name for your blog that is keyword rich. Keyword rich simply means that your name consists of the same words of your product or program that you are going to promote.

Example; if you are promoting a product about how to care for goldfish, then you might consider calling your blog, “The Goldfish Care Program” or something of the like. Also, make sure that this is not just your blog title but also your blog subdomain name.

Third, you will either need to create your own product to market, in that case you will need an account with a payment processor like paypal or alertpay. The other option is to market affiliate products. That is where you sell a product that someone else has created and in return you receive a commission. This is the way I would recommend only because you will same a lot of time and they have already produced most if not all of the marketing materials including the website that you will want to use.

So, now that you have chosen where you want to set up your blog, selected a product that you want to promote and picked out a keyword rich blog name, you are ready to get going.

Hopefully you selected a product to market that you know something about. If you did this will make writing posts to your blog very easy. If you didn't, you can find all the information you will need on the internet by simply doing a search. I would recommend typing something like this “yourkeyword” +articles. Make sure you type it just like that but replace the your keyword with your keywords for your product. This will produce several articles that have been written on your topic and should provide you with a lot of good information to get you going. Do not copy any article exactly unless you keep it in original form and give credit to the author.

Finally, write some posts on your blog with links to your affiliate product and then make sure that you ping your blog and also bookmark it. I will get more into pinging and bookmarking in another article. For now you should spend your time getting everything set up.
