The ultimate free Blogger guide

If you are looking for a way to start making money on the internet, and
you have a budget that is very small or zero, Bogging is a great way to
get started.
Blogging has become very popular lately. For one thing, it’s free. For
another, you don’t need to have any technical skills whatsoever to get
started. If you can read and write, you can blog.

So what is a blog?

A blog is a simple web page that anyone can set up in minutes. People
use them as journals, diaries, and sales pages, like you will learn to do
here. You may be wondering how you can make money with a free blog.
The answer is by adding Google Adsense, and promoting affiliate
products.
You will not make money overnight with this system, but over 2 to 3
months, you can expect to start making some decent money. Remember,
the cost for all this is absolutely nothing (other than the cost of this EBook).
For our purposes, we will be using “Blogger”. Blogger is owned by
Google, which is one reason we’re using it. Blogs are crawled by the
search engines regularly, so you can get indexed very quickly.

Getting Started

 It is always best to try and make money from what you know. It is far
easier to write about what you know than to try and make money writing
about other things. However, having said that, you can find free content
on almost any subject, so you can pick a subject that you think would be
profitable, but you don’t really know anything about.

Message From The Author

 Not knowing what to blog about is one of the most common ailments for bloggers. For
some, this has caused them to abandon their blog. Others are afraid to start a blog
because they fear they won't have enough to share.
To help you jump start the process, here are 31 things you can blog about. Some of
them can even be expanded upon, giving you more content. I suggest you print it so
you can quickly whip it out to refer to whenever you run out of things to blog about

1) Mini case study. Have you bailed a customer out of a jam? Received raving feedback from customers?

Spotlight them, share the story behind the problem and how you solved it.

2) Did you have an idea strike you out of the blue you think will help customers or readers?

3) Comment on an article you read online, in a magazine.

4) The News. Relevant reports happening around the world.

5) Don't forget local news. If you can somehow tie it into your niche, blog about it. E.g. If you're promoting

an eBay coaching program. You find out a retired lady locally who's living her dream retirement because

of eBay. Report it, add a few comments and thoughts of your own and how you can help your blog

readers achieve that very same dream.

6) A tip, idea, strategy you observed. E.g. Your friend showed you a new craft she made would be a great

post for a crafting blog. Take pictures (with permission) if you can.

7) Tell a story about your product. Why did you create it, what inspired you to create it. If you have a few,

how about a series of stories? If you're not sure how to structure your stories, think about infomercials.

No you don't have to be high pressured like the infomercials but if you observe, some of them spend

considerable time telling the story behind the product.

8) Demonstrate, illustrate or explain how you use a product you're promoting.

9) Review a product. How did you discover it? What did you like or don't like about it?

10) Share what your customer did or achieved with your product. E.g. If you have a weight loss product, tell

people how much XYZ lost using your product.

11) Did you hear of a product recall or down time? Share it. E.g. If you have a baby blog and you find out a

child seat recall.

12) A series of tips, tutorials and articles. A great example is the ABC's of XYZ, My 30 day exercise challenge.

13) Issue a challenge to readers and tell them to 'check in' with you in the blog comments.
14) Ask people for advise and help. E.g. Help name your product, find a web host, find a solution.
15) Look through your comments. Sometimes comments branch off into a topic of their own that's worthy to
be made a separate post.

Quick Tips

➔ Don't beat yourself up if you don't have something to post every day. Contrary to popular belief, a blog
doesn't have to be updated every day. There's no magic number for frequency but generally once, twice a
week or every 10 days is good once you achieved a momentum.
➔ Inspiration comes in a rush even for the most accomplished writers. Keep an idea notebook and look
through it from time to time, you'll find plenty of things to blog about when you flip through the pages.
➔ You don't have to slave over your blog. When inspiration strikes or you get highly motivated, sit down
to write out your posts ahead of time. You can pre-post for weeks even months ahead. If you have a
system like WordPress, Typepad or Movable Type, you can easily schedule posts so it'll publish
automatically in the future. If you ever get anything time sensitive and already have a post schedule, post
your time sensitive news and re-schedule the pre-posted one.
