A Quick Guide to Making Money Online With a Blog

Making money online is not easy but it is doable. Now that you know, how do you go about it? Well, I would like to give a brief point to point outline of an easy way to make it happen. These are the points you need to implement in order to get some earnings online.

Top of the pile is niche and keywords. Niche is what you want to concentrate on to get carve out money from the internet. A good example of a niche is "make money online". Keywords on the other hand are important when it comes to online businesses. This is what search engines use to find your website when net users do a search query. Therefore you have to choose your keywords appropriately and carefully.

Choosing your niche and keywords is just a one off process. When you select your keyword, you have already selected your niche. Like if your keyword is "make money online", instantly this is your niche. But be careful here because you don't want to use a keyword that is already highly concentrated. Like in the above example, if you do a normal search on Google you will find millions of sites competing for this niche. At this point you can choose to use it and try to dislodge the top ranking established sites (very hard to do as a beginner) or look for lesser competition through using keywords that are not highly competitive.

Now look for an avenue to channel your information either by using a blog or website. If you are looking for a free way, then blogging is the way to go with blogger (Google's free blog: no for paying domain name, no need to know html and no hosting fees). The content you put on your blog should reflect on the theme of your site and it should be of high quality.

To finish, you will need to start bringing visitors to your blog. How will you do it? There are a couple ways you can use like article writing. In fact article writing is touted as one of the best ways to bring in visitors. Briefly, this is how you do it-write an article with the main theme or content the same as that of your site. Submit the article to a top-notch article directory like EzineArtcles. Ensure that you put a link back to your blog in the resource box, the purpose being two fold. One is to act as a guide to your site and the next to get back links (very important in ranking of websites) to your site in case the article is re-published by other sites. Remember, a one off submission is not sufficient. Do a couple. You can also submit different articles to other article directories.

After you have done the above, you will need to monetize your blog for you to get an income. The easiest way to do this is through use of Google AdSense and affiliate programs. For AdSense you need to sign up for free first then get the code and insert in your site for Google ads to start displaying on it. For you to earn, your site visitor has to click on one of the ads. With affiliate programs, the signing up is also free with companies like PayDotCom, ClickBank, Amazon. You will have a wide selection of products to sell without having to hold them, just the links to sales pages of the products on your blog.

Well, that's it for the quick brief.
