Make Money on the Internet

Create Blogs

Do you blog from a Mac?

Have you had problems in new Blogger.com with editing the blog template using Safari?

I have recently had these problems, it was a nightmare trying to move page elements around on my blog and I couldn’t edit colours of fonts, it was getting really frustrating.

So I went to Blogger for help, and after some digging, found out that Blogger won’t work with safari! But do not despair if you have a Mac because you can use Firefox, which is an alternative web browser that you can download from www.firefox.com (its free) and everything works fine. You could also use Internet Explorer but I prefer Firefox.

Its written by Mozilla and runs on Macs with OSX, my Mac is pretty old and it runs great. Its got lots of add-ons so you can personalise it, but I quite like the search engine feature, you can choose different search engines as your default through the toolbar at the top of the page, which makes it easy to flip from google to yahoo etc (handy if your doing research). It’s made my life a lot easier.

First of all you look at the different ways, also known as income streams to make money on the internet e.g. adwords, blogs, adsense, ebay etc and choose one. You research all the information you can get your hands on, and find the best way of running it, you set it all up and sit back to wait for your piece of the ‘internet pie’ that you have been told about.

But you don’t get the results that you had hoped for, what do you do?

Well I don’t think this is unusual. The guru’s tell you, you can automate your system and start earning straight away, with only working a couple of hours per week. Maybe that can happen, but in my experience it doesn’t, so don’t worry. I find you have to work hard at it, like any other business and have a strategic plan, wait until your first income stream is profitable before trying different ones. Test different ideas for adverts and placement, when you find one that works test some more. The information out there is vast and changing all the time, try to keep up with it and research your market. The key to making money on the internet is the same as any business, it takes hard work and good planning.

But the most important thing is to stay positive and believe that it will work, don’t panic, keep testing and stay motivated (which is easier said than done). Some Guru’s do tell you this, but it never sunk in with me until I had figured it out for myself! Please learn from my mistakes, and start your journey to make money on the internet prepared for this. It will save you a lot of time and turmoil!

Make Money on the Internet with Blogs

The good thing about Blogging is its Free. You don’t need any special software or experience to set up a Blog, you just need a topic or hobby that you are interested in, it takes about 10 minutes to do and you can instantly see what you have created.

I went to Blogger.com to set up my Blog, which is very easy to do. You are able to choose a template, add photos, place adverts, create posts and then edit it all through an easy to use interface, and they take care of the hosting - all for Free! (that's the bit I like).

Now, I had a Blog set up and ready to go, but what do you do with it?
Its no good writing a Blog if nobody can see it. But I had no idea how to get visitors to my blog?

That's where Blogging to the Bank came in. Rob takes you through each step to adjust the settings, so the blog is set up for maximum benefit and is optimised for visitors. He even gives you screenshots to follow exactly what he is doing. Blogging to the Bank then tells you how to go about getting visitors to your blog, and how you can make money from your blog, all with the necessary links for easy access.

The book is straight to the point, a very unusual thing for an ebook to do, you normally have a load of marketing hype that frustrates the life out of you, before you can get to the really useful stuff. Its only 39 pages long (a change from the 100’s of pages you normally have to wade through). So it doesn’t take long to read and you can start straight away, following the steps to his blueprint to make money on the internet with blogs. I’ve found it to be very good value for money, a great book and a refreshing change...
