Making money blogging really isn’t all that difficult, but it will take some concerted effort on your part, and it probably won’t happen overnight either!

If you’re just starting out I would suggest you set-up a Blogspot blog. They are free and easy to monetize. Blogspot, also called Blogger, is owned by Google so setting up AdSense is really a snap.

The best way to get to blogging is with your own hosted blog from Wordpress.org. The feeling is these hosted blogs get “more respect” so to speak from the search engines, and I feel there is some truth to this. If you don’t want to part with about $10.00 a month for hosting (cheap!) than a Blogger blog where it’s at.

Whether you are using a hosted blog or a free one you should choose a niche that you know something about. Why? Because if you are “into” whatever you’re going to blog about (your niche) you will find writing content much faster and easier. The trick to easy content creation is knowing your subject well!

Also in the first stages of choosing your niche you should try to get into your future visitors heads and figure out just what it is you’ll be able to sell to them. You want to make money right? Then as an Internet Marketer and blogger this should be your ultimate goal (and deserves a good deal of thought.)

Want to work from home, and earn extra money with a blog? Well you can go about this in many different ways, but I think the best way is to run a successful blog. You build your brand, credibility, online presents, and you gotta write a lot (better get used to it!)

If you choose a niche you are passionate about some of your readers will share your passion and become part of your community of like minded individuals. Work within this community, build relationships, cause in the end that’s what making money online is all about (to my way of thinking anyways) building relationships, and working with people.

Enjoy your blogging, get good at it, think about traffic and money making opportunities, but don’t obsess about it. Who knows you may want to enter a second niche, than a third, heck this could be the start of something big!
