Simple Steps To Creating Your Own Blog

By Hannah S. Thompson


Starting your own blog is a superb way to not simply generate brand awareness about your product, but it is also a good way to generate money with affiliate programs and Adsense. Nevertheless, there are thousands of people that don't know how to set up a blog and monetize it right to make money from it. Keep reading to find out a few simple methods of setting up a blog and getting traffic.

You have two choices when it comes to monetizing a blog. First off, you can purchase your own domain name and start a blog on your own web site. Your second alternative is to set up a free account on blogger.com, because they will allow you to add Adsense and promote affiliate programs from this blog. Nonetheless, you will not want to use a free WordPress blog because if you try to promote affiliate programs, WordPress will end up deleting your account. Nevertheless, as I mentioned before, you can put up a WordPress blog on a site that you personally own if you wish to use the WordPress platform.

When you opt to get your own domain, you can automatically create a WordPress blog through the cPanel in your hosting account. This is really the desired method as you will be advertising your own site instead of one that is owned by Google. Still, you may want to use the free blogger.com option in the beginning if you don't have the necessary money to pay for web hosting and a domain name.

When you have your first blog up and running, you will have the option of adding AdSense and making other affiliate recommendations. Try to begin blogs that focus on topics you are interested in so you will not have any problems adding posts regularly. This will be crucial in achieving first-page rankings in the search engines. Something else to remember is to soft sell when you promote affiliate products. Gently instruct people on the benefits of the product and provide a contextual link, but be very careful not to be too pushy in your promotion or they will be disillusioned and avoid your blog in the future.

Furthermore, you will need to promote each blog entry on your blog. The most effective way to do this is by using article marketing to build links to each blog entry or you can even use social bookmarking because this will also provide you with valuable links. Soon enough, you will be able to present yourself as an expert in your niche, and this will help to establish credibility for the products you promote. By following these simple steps, you can have your own profitable blog up and running as soon as possible.
