Build Blog

Creating and updating a blog is easy. If you use WordPress hosted on your own hosting account, you have a powerful platform to make money. If you have the right account, you can install your very own blog in a few clicks of a mouse. Once your blog is setup, it is ready to start making you money.If you are building a blog with the idea of selling it, you must keep two numbers in mind at all time. The first number is your traffic number. New blogs don’t get a lot of traffic. Most potential investors don’t want to spend tons of their time getting a website indexed and trafficked. They want a website that is already in the search engine results and a nice, steady flow of organic traffic. What do I mean by organic? I mean traffic that is not paid for, traffic that is free.The second number that you must keep in mind is revenue. Your new blog must have some kind of income to be attractive to new buyers. New buyers most likely don’t have the experience or skill to properly monetize a blog. Your expertise here, or lack thereof will show by the numbers. Fortunately for us, Google’s AdSense program is an easy way to get income fast. The program works like this; you get traffic to your blog and when someone clicks on an ad, you get paid for that click. Lots of traffic means more clicks and more revenue. See? very simple to get started.

Have you been told that there is lots of money to be made with blogs? Well, you are correct, there is a lot of money to be made if you do it right. Creating blogs is really easy now. Most hosting providers have an automatic install process to get your blog created in minutes. It is this simplicity that allows you to make lots of money in a short period of time. You can create your blog, promote it, monetize it, and sell it. You can also keep the best performing blogs as a basis for your recurring income streams. Let’s get to the details.As I said before, setting up a blog is simple stuff. You can do it in minutes. Once your blog is setup, you will need to make it look nice. The default theme is really not setup to stand out, trust me. Go and search for free WordPress themes, and you will find a huge pool to choose from. Once you pick one or many themes, you upload them to your account and pick the one you want to use. OK, now that your blog looks appealing to your visitors, you need some content. Many people get stuck on content. You don’t need to think too hard about this. Simply visit the major article directories and find the most popular articles in your niche. You simply publish these great articles on your blog! Be sure to observe the rules here. Each article site has different rules.You can use WordPress’ scheduling feature to schedule the posting of the articles. I would post the first three right away and then post one every day or so for the next two months. This will keep your content fresh and the search engines happy.Now that the blog is setup with a nice theme and content, just go out there and promote it. You can promote via PPC, article marketing, forum marketing, classifieds, etc. Once you have some links and traffic, you must evaluate your blog’s progress. The killer ones are keepers. Go ahead and sell the rest to buy some more content and/or outsource the building of more blogs!
