How To Make Money : Make Money Blogging

Everyone is always wondering what the next "get rich quick" thing is going to be. The bottom line of it all is that all most ever "get rich quick" scheme is just that, a scheme. I myself for one have lost out on a lot of money for these make thousands of dollars a month, work from home, financial freedom. You get the picture. So I am here to help. I am not an expert, a guru, just a normal person like yourself, (well if your normal lol jk!) trying to make some extra money while I do what I normally do:

• Blog
• Write
• Upload Pictures
• Rant
• Review Stuff
• Socialize

These first couple of steps are simple. After that it doesn't really get any harder, it just takes time.

I will try my best to keep everything straight. Forgive me if I go off on a tangent, just say something.

OK, first off you are going to need a site, blog, or page. I personally did not start my "AdSense career" with Blogger. But, since you are still reading this it is probably because you are just getting started so I am going to go ahead and get you started with Blogger. So go a head and sign up here: Blogger

Before you do here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Google wants your sites to be unique and informative.
• Pick a topic for your blog or trend, your personal everyday life may not bring in the type of money you are looking for.
• Make sure what you blog is your own and not just random links.
• Your blog cannot be about gambling, sex, drugs, etc. You know, all the rated R stuff.

OK after you have signed up for Blogger, you will need to open a Google AdSense account. Register here: Google AdSense

You will be asked to enter your website information, so put in your unique blogger URL. Make sure you click that you will not post adult content or ads, if you agree to this and do not comply, Google will find out and terminate your account. The rest of the registration is pretty much self explanatory. And just a FYI, your AdSense account will not be up and ready to use right away, Google will have to approve your site first. Also, you do not have to use blogger, if there is another blog site that you have or page or own domain name feel free to use that. Just make sure it is a site that you can edit the HTML, otherwise you will be denied.

Now you can tweak your blog to your liking and wait to be approved!

Pay Pal

For some of you that don’t know, or maybe you already do, but haven’t taken that step to sign up for a PayPal account, now would be a good time to consider one. Paypal is good for more than one reason, the reason I bring it up today is that it is another way you can get paid. There a lot of other online “make money” websites that does not use Google AdSense, instead they rather pay you into your PayPal account.

With a PayPal account you can use it to prevent people stealing your credit card information, you can use it to sell your goods on Ebay (more on another blog later), and like mentioned above you can use it as your payment place. Many websites, will offer the option to send payment as a check, but do note that most of the time fees will apply, and you may have to have a higher dollar amount accumulated in order to receive your earnings.

PayPal is simple to set up as well.
Make sure you use an email address that you will be using, or have been using to sign up your accounts with, almost all of the time sites will automatically associate your email as the same one you have used to set up your PayPal.
It is always good to become a verified user. This will come in handy if you decide to open up your own website or sell something on your blog or Ebay. The verified sticker lets people know you are a real person.
To verify your account you will just have to link your bank account or credit card with your account. After a few days PayPal will deposit a small amount of money (under $1) into your bank account. Once this has been done log on to your PayPal and submit the amount that was deposited and you're done.

Like everything else on this blog, PayPal is a free to use site, if you are planning on using your account for selling and there will be lots of transactions made, you may have to upgrade your account.

Writing Articles : Get Paid

I've said it before, maybe blogging isn't really your thing. Blogging can be done in several ways.

• You can either find a topic and make that the center of your whole blog, such as this one. It is strictly for helping people find ways to make money online.
• You can blog about anything, life, love, randomness, for fun, or whatever your heart desires.

Say you don't want to maintain a blog or share your life stories, rants, and raves. So this is where article writing comes in.

HubPages.

HubPages is a website for people to publish their work on information while at the same time gaining revenue from Google AdSense, EBay, Kontera, and Amazon.

Here is where you can sign up, and yes, it is free: HubPages.com

If you would like an Amazon account feel free to sign up as well, its free too! Amazon signup

You can set up your Kontera Account here : Kontera.com

And finally if you choose to here is where you can set up your Ebay account to go along with your HubPages account: EBay Partner Network

Remember, all of these sites are free to sign up at, all it takes is a little bit of your time.

Make Easy Money

From what I've heard, a lot of people give up after a few weeks of blogging and attempting to promote their blog and or website. So lets think about it like this.

Do you?

• Spend most of your time online.
• Use social networking sites such as Myspace, FaceBook and or Twitter.
• Like to blog or write.
• Like stating your opinion or view on items and or subjects.
• Want to make money basically effortlessly.

If you answered "yes" to all or most of those, then whats the big deal? Its better to try and make some money while you are doing all this rather than just doing it anyway and not getting any money. Right? Yes.

You may sign up for every money making thing you possibly can, or you can just stick to one thing and keep going from there. The choice is yours and its all free. So with that being said, here is another way, like Google AdSense, where you can make money off your website impressions and clicks...just by adding a few ads to your site. So simple.

This would be Chitika. Feel free to sign up here: Chitika.com

Chitika is a online advertising service, here to help you bring in money! Everyone likes money, and easy money is even better.

Google AdSense : Its Everywhere!

Here is another handly little site that you can post to to get your money flowing in.

Xomba!!!

Free sign up right here : Xomba Sign Up

Its free! Its a bit like HubPages, but different at the same time. With Xomba you can either post Xombytes, which are articles of topics of your choice, or you can post Xomblurbs. Xomblurbs are little snippits of information you can use to promote your content with out having to write a whole lot. You do however have to at least have 50 words to your posting. This is kind of like SheToldMe.com from the previous blog where you can go and promote your own content.

Back to the main point of this post. Google AdSense, hopefully by now you will have your account ready to go, unless for some reason Google did not approve your account, otherwise, just take your publishing number and add it to your profile.

Just a hint: the more you write about yourself, add a picture, etc. the more likely it is that people will come and visit your page. People like to put a face with a name and writing content. Unless your into being all mysterious and secretive, well then, thats another thing.
