About Anything, and possibly Everything..

Unfortunately, for residents of South Africa, and possibly other countries, being paid via PayPal is not an option and this will rule out loads of the available opportunities, but even then there remain several ways to profit from your blogging.

For me, turning a blog into a profit involves 3 steps:

1. Implement the weblog
I prefer to install WordPress and a set of useful, preferred, pluggins. You may have other options you prefer. But the first step it to set up the website and get it looking right. Without a good looking site, you are never going to make much of a profit. Advertisers will not want to know as visitors will leave straight away.

2. Prepare your blog
All too plenty of bloggers expect to make an income without this step, which is crucial. They come asking why they are not earning a huge income having only merely implemented the weblog.

Yet, step 2 – preparing the weblog – is the most crucial step to get right!

The first part of starting a blog is to write posts, and plenty of them! If you write 5 posts a week for 3 months, then you will have a lot of material on your site that will attract search engine visitors. This is also content that they can read and be interested in.

At the same time, you should be writing articles and posting them to article sites and submitting them as guest posts to other websites. This will start to gather you a few regular traffic and to increase the Google Page Rank of your web site, by increasing the number of links pointing into your website.

3. Start to earn a few cash.
Although you can start to earn several money as soon as you starting a blog, the best profits only come when you have put the time and effort in to prepare your site in step 2.

But once you have a few regular readers, a decent page rank and plenty of content to attract the search engines and readers, then you might start to sign up for schemes that will make you cash such as:

* Google Adsense – earn money just by traffic clicking on links that are shown on your website.

* Sponsored Posting – in return for writing about whatever an advertiser wants you to write around and linking to them, you get paid! Showing the importance of step 2, typical fees on one system I use would be $2 for a Page Rank 1 website but $9 for a website with a rank of 3.

* Affiliate Schemes – find a merchant that sells a product related to your blog, talk around it, link to is and hopefully your readers will buy some, earning you a commission! If you have an international audience, then digital products for example Click Bank products might be best.

* Sell Your Own Product – maybe set it up in Click Lender or merely sell via PayPal, but you could even only sell an Ebook of your best posts.
