How Anyone can Make Money Blogging!

People keep asking but how can I make money blogging? What can I write about? What do I know about Blog stuff! Well the answer is simple!

In order for you to blog and find stuff to blog about- write what YOU know about!

1. If your a mommy, write about being a mommy! There are plenty of mommy-to-be women who may not know the first thing about what you've mastered! There are a number of topics Moms can blog about! Moms are masters in "how to" or "what if" scenarios plus the creativity involved in everyday simple tasks- I'm sure readership wouldn't be hard to come by!
   
2. If you're an Accountant blog about tips, tools, overlooked items people don't know about! Your on the "inside" so share common information you know that commoners don't know about!
   
3. If you're a college student write about the "Real" college experience! Thoughts about classes, teachers, assignments, campus life! Many would be students may be looking for an insiders voice!

Same can be said for a million other status, careers and hobbies! Write what you know or what you'd like to become an expert in! Share your thoughts and then some networking can help as well (I'll blog about that later).

Then when your ready to blog, simply incorporate some ads into your blog! You will get paid by advertisers based on click thrus (number of times a person clicks the ad) and/or page impressions (the amount of page-views your blog receives).

Advertising you can incorporate into your blog:

• Google Adsense (if you use blogger the work is almost all done for you)
• Adbrite (free inclusion in their directory, plus monetize videos and pictures as well)
• Text Link Ads (full editorial control over what ads will go on your site)
• Blog Ads ( Invitation only and requires an "in" email for info on sponsor availability )

(Don't be afraid of how to add this code into your blog! For the most part its simply copy and past OR they have tutorials made easy! Also a simple email can help if still in doubt.)


This is the simplest method to start earning revenue on your blog! There are a ton of other affiliate/advertising programs out there. I will write & review many more in due time but for now I believe that is a great place to get started with familiarizing yourself with ads and different type of programs available for you to start earning money with your blog.

Recently I've had to find ways to make sure that companies gain exposure in their "local" area. Seems like a simple yet often overlooked idea right? So while looking around at local directories I figured I'd share what I have learned.

Submitting your business or service to local markets is:

• Free and Easy
• Allows you to add in specialties, directions and why you are better than the rest!
• To gain that extra boost some directories include a coupon to add- right next to your listing on the map.
• That's right! Your listed on the map with directions on how to get to your location!
• Google, Yahoo & MSN are three I highly recommend you submitting to- widely used and great free exposure!
• Multiple listings for the same business are accepted for free too!
• Added photos are free on some of these directories!
  

The process is alittle time consuming, take into consideration verification via phone or postcard, review process that can take anywhere from 3 days to up to 8 weeks depending on the directory!

Not sure where to get started? Well here you go!

1. Submit to Google Local
2. Submit to Yahoo Local
3. Submit To MSN Local Actual submission page is here though...took a bit of clicking around to find it!
   
4. Still not enough - Check out Superpages as well- they give lots of cool options to include plus their interfaces allows you to see how many click thrus you've gotten!
