You may find that a lot of famous bloggers earned their money through blogging by hosting their own blogs and sites. This may give you the impression that you need money to make money. This is wrong. You can make money online without investing any money first.
You are not required to have unique domain to earn money.
To start a blogging business doesn’t require you to buy a domain name and host a server. There are various free blogging platform online. The recommended one is blogspot/blogger. Blogspot is recommended not only for its easy-to-use platform, and also you can change the theme to optimize your earning through advertisements (will discuss later).
Adsense for almost everyone.
The number one option for everyone to earn money online is Google Adsense. By using blogspot/blogger, you can integrate adsense into your theme easily via their template. However adsense is not an easy money to earn, it takes time (in fact it took years for me to start earning via adsense).
Now you have a blog, then what?
Having a blog doesn’t guarantee you start earning money. First, you need to have contents. Content is the king of blog. Though a lot of bloggers suggested you to have a niche blog, and that may give you a hard time to think a niche, and you might not like it. I’d tell you to blog things that you passionated. Passion is the thing that drives you to continue blogging. You must remember you doesn’t get rich through blogging in just one day. You create contents, then the contents attract people, and you continue to create more contents and attracting more readers.
Grow, Grow, Grow!
Although content is the king, you also need readers to sustain the king itself. So readerships a.k.a. traffic is the soul of making money online. The larger readership you have, the better chance you’ll make more money through blogging. You can expand your readership through many sources, such as Digg, StumbleUpon, intro to your friends (mouth spreading), left a comment in other blogs, facebook, and many other methods.
After earning money, invest part of it.
Yes, invest with the money you earned. Some people tend to spend what they earned which is a bad thing to do. There are a lot of sources for you to make money through blogging, but many of them requires you to have a unique domain name. I’d suggest you to use the money you get from adsense (which is $100 USD) to host a website and buy a web domain name. There are a lot of cheap and reliable web hosting which you can buy within $100 USD, and you will still have the change. It’s better to move to a unique domain name earlier. Time is money and money may not be the time. The more time you spend using the free template, the more reliable your readers and you to stay there. So move fast if you can.
Don’t delete your free blogging template.
This was the mistake I made before. After moving to the new host and have your own domain name, please don’t forget to move your old contents to the new blog as well (I recommend to use wordpress to perform this). After moving all the contents, please don’t delete the old blog. You can redirect the old blog to your new blogs. This not only bring your previous readers to the new blog, and it also prevent the chance taker to take over your old blog domain name (this was the stupid mistake I made).
How to Blog?
A lot of friends are asking me this question. Blogging is easy. All you need to do is have a blog, write and publish.
