How to make money Blogging
Blogging
Just about anyone can become a blogger these days!
Don't you have to be a natural born writer and have a degree in English Literature?
Turns out you don't!
Blogging is basically writing about anything of interest and along the way when you can recommend products or sites by using affiliate links or have adverts on your blog you can get paid!
Readers equal traffic, which equals money! If you can hold on to a readers attention long enough for them to browse your site or take interest in your article then you have a customer! And a returning customer is even better!!
Even if you don't enjoy writing, or think you have nothing interesting to say that people will be interested to hear, don't give up on this!
This is a brilliant way to earn money online and very easy to set up.
From using Amazon placement ads to eBay ads, blogging is one of the simplest ways to make money online, writing about something you are interested in.
So first what are your interests, passions?

Wordpress is fully SEO compatible but it's not the easiest to set up. Although they have a plugin for everything, updates are a must for everything to function in synergy.

We have many sites with Wordpress, and use 1&1 Web hosting to host them all, and although it may take a while to get your head around how to install and setup, once learnt you good to go for the next one. The only problem is picking and installing your themes. As they are all different and not made by the same company or person, they all have different instructions on how to install and maintain, which can be quite tedious when trying make a certain feature work as in the demo.
We offer a theme installation service for Wordpress if you prefer to have it done for you. Check out our shop for more info
We call Tumblr the fun blog. Its very easy to post to Tumblr via your phone or tablet and very easy to set up and customise your theme. However, this blog site is not for the faint hearted, you will often see pornographic images and videos. Privacy is not an option either unless you set up a second blog and password protect it, this blog is searchable and visible to everyone.
Very simple to use! Blogger is now owned by Google, since 2003, and is free to use. There are no upgrades and features include:
