BLOG For DOLLAR$ The Secret Formula to make
your blog pay!! Introduction The internet had witnessed in the past years a new type of cyber communities known as BLOGS. In a blog everyone is a webmaster who can share jokes, ideas, emotions, advice, and anything that can be translated into words; making them popular sites that are visited about 10000 times a month!! In this ebook we teach you how you can create your OWN blog, make it as popular as possible, and at last how to MAKE MONEY. Before you start reading the rest of this ebook we would like you to note that building a successful blog will never be instant. Any blog (or any other website) consumes a lot of time and effort to become popular and successful thus to create revenue. So if you are looking for an instant get rich scheme then this book is not for you!! In this book we guide you through 10 essential steps to create a successful, interesting and profitable blog that can, at the end, generate money 24/7 even if you are asleep. How is this possible??? Well, you are going to find out in just 10 seconds. We are just asking you to spare us a small fraction of your precious time to read and to fully understand everything included in this book. Step 1 Setting Up Your Blog Blogging is a lucrative source of profit and blogs are easy to set up and maintain. Imagine a life where you are paid to write on stuff that interests you, whenever you want, wherever you are. The mere flexibility of blogging makes it easy for you to just kick back, relax and go on a vacation whenever you feel like it. In this step, we are going to look into the profitability of a blog and set up a blog of our own at no cost! Interested? Read on! First, we need to obtain a blog. There are several options – host a blog on your own domain or get a free blog. For starters, let’s talk about the free blogs. You can obtain a free blog at www.blogger.com or the newer (and better!) www. wordpress.com. If you are a techie, you must have heard of Wordpress, a free blog engine that is robust and infinitely expandable. Blogger.com is actually owned by Google, so it will be detected on Google’s radar faster and you will be indexed faster. Wordpress.com, however, is a relatively new option so I have no comparison on the speed of getting indexed by search engines. However, Wordpress is better in the sense that it has more advanced features such as Trackbacks and Categories. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later). Get a free blog at either Blogger.com (http://www.blogger.com/signup.g) or Wordpress (http://wordpress.com/signup/). Then, familiarize yourself by posting your first post on your blog and tinkering around with the options and templates. Here are a few common “blog-related” words to help you out: 1) Permalink – Permalink stands for permanent link, which is a URL (uniform resource locator) that leads to an individual post that you make in your blog. 2) Trackback – When you post about someone else’s blog post elsewhere, your post will show up in their “trackback” section. This feature, however, is not available with a Blogger.com account. 3) Pinging – Blogging seems to be paired with pinging almost every time either one is mentioned nowadays. Pinging is actually the action where a certain aggregator is notified whenever your blog is updated, so that the aggregator may show the newest post of your blog on their website. This is a useful way to gaining traffic, which we shall discuss later. For now, I shall leave you testing out your new blog and the features that come included with it. In the next steps, we shall discuss the many ways we can gain profit from a blog, as well as tips on how to write posts that keep visitors glued and keep coming back for more!
