It's not hard to create a blog. What's more, you can even create a blog that makes money and have it up and running free of cost in just a few hours.
I encourage you to avoid getting caught up in reading, researching and analyzing. You've probably heard the phrase 'paralysis through analysis’. It's true, you can analyze yourself to the point of doing nothing. Instead, simply follow the 'how to' steps below and you will have a blog that makes money and won't take you weeks for you to create.
Let’s get started…
Find a niche; now don't make this harder than it needs to be. Get on Google type in an idea and see what's out there. If there are Google ads to the right, that's a good indication that it's a popular topic and people are buying. Don't be too broad in what you select, niche down as far as you can. For example, instead of broadly choosing skincare, select a finer skincare topic like Acne, or Rosacea or anti-aging.
To help you see what people want to know about and what keywords they're using use Wordtracker and type in your topic with these words:
how to
easy
create
prevent
fix
remedy
relief
instant

Promote your blog
Post often. This can be simple posts or articles that you write or have written. Here's a great place to get cheap quality content you can use on your blog.
Hook up your blog posts to Twitter so every time you post it creates a tweet on Twitter. Here's how.
Import your blog to Facebook. Here’s how.
Next, go to Technorati.com and type in your topic search terms. Find blogs to post to and make quality comments, don't just type 'nice blog', that's spamming and your comment is not likely to get posted. Make comments that are useful to others, then in the URL section of your comment use the URL of your related blog post.

Hi Ms Liz.
I have a website, but I am not a real blogger, because blogging seem to be more time sensitive, and needs a lot more posting. Do you think a blog in better that a website? I have been at this for 15 months and my site has 75 pages, but I make very little money. I have been thinking maybe a blog would be better, but I do not think I would have the passion to write everyday.
Hey Melva, a blog simply adds more interaction, which is good, but you need is to bring to the table more of your own personal experience. What things have you learned about being online? What products do you use that you could comment on or review? Give your readers information they can use.
For example, we often provide good reasons for starting a web business or why someone should create a blog or why certain products are better than others but readers don’t need justification for doing things, they need to know how to do things. They want to know the pitfalls or how much effort it’s going to take or actually what they need to do to get started. Be specific, show examples, give ideas.
Also, I’d suggest building an opt-in list. This will take some up front work but once created it will simply run on autopilot. Start by creating a free guide of some sort and offering it as a free bonus for signing up. Then create a list of emails that go out each week automatically. In those emails provide good quality personal information that readers can use to get a business going, also invite questions and comments.
To create your own free guide, don’t be afraid to use Private label rights (PLR) content but don’t use it out of the box. Customize it with your own voice and information. Hope that helps
