subject: Blogging with WordPress For a Successful Online Business [print this page] Blogging is a great way to make money besides the fact that it was originally created as a diary or a communication tool for news. Luckily for newbies who want to start doing business with blogging there are blueprints or models that are already tested and used by Probloggers. And using WordPress is the best way to go when doing business or making money online. I will enumerate three of them.
1. The first money making model is getting paid to blog. This is relatively easy. You set up your blog then add some good quality articles then after a few weeks or months, signup with paid blogging networks like Pay Per Post or Review Me and see what "opportunities" are available. There are many advertisers looking for blogger who can help them promote their products and spread the word about their products. And of course they are willing to pay you for the services that you have done.
2. The second way is through Contextual Advertisement like Adsense. Adsense sites or blogs requires a little more technical knowledge. It's best to make a blog for a particular niche. The idea is to make an information blog which targets people who looks for particular information. The best way to earn more with Adsense is to drive more traffic to your site.
3. The third is through affiliate marketing with WordPress blogs. Again, you set-up a good WordPress blog but with this model the amount of content you publish is not as important as the "selling quality" of the content. Each post you write must pre-sell the web visitor and convince him to click on your affiliate links. When the visitor makes a purchase online after that, you get credited for the sale and earn commissions.
In the end, which model you choose depends on how much time and resources you can dedicate to creating and managing your blogs. Your best bet is to choose a low-investment option at first. When you get the hang of it, you can venture into other blogging models as well.
Do focus on one thing first. And try the other one. Try and see what method or model is best for you. Do not expect to get rich quick or to earn money just a few days or weeks of doing it. At first you might fail but if you are persistent, committed, dedicated and you are focused enough you can earn whatever amount of money you choose.
If you're serious about making money from your blog, I strongly recommend that you signup for these video tutorials. These are great for newbies. Easy to follow and will teach you step by step from start to finish.
