What Is Online Blogging and How Do People Make Money Out of It?
By Keith Lunt
A blog is just a simple type of website, that is highly organised in a structure that the search engines really love. You can set them up in no time at all by going to a website host that has a simple installation process, such as 1 and 1. Or you can download the latest copy of WordPress and install that.
What is a blog?
If a blog is just a website, what makes it so special? Well it is actually a lot more. It includes what is called a content management system, which means that it is very easy for you to quickly add new content to your blog. There is no complicated coding involved, you just type up your content, hit a button and the job is done.
Blogs also typically manage the pages in a highly categorised way. This means that it is easy for visitors to read the latest 'posts' and for search engines to keep track of all of the content on the blog. Tools such as Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds help to make sure that readers can easily keep track of your latest posts, which is really good for keeping up traffic.
Your blog is your own personal tool and you can therefore write about anything. However, the most successful blogs do have some sort of theme and a type of writing voice. Writing about anything and swapping between humour and seriousness can really prevent you from having any traffic.
Making money blogging
So that is what a blog is, but how do you turn it into a money making machine? Well quite simply you have to offer people something in return for advertising on your blog.
From displaying Cost Per Click adverts (such as Google's AdSense) to advertising affiliate products (where you are paid a commission for purchases that result from someone clicking a link on your website) there are plenty of methods of turning visitors into cash.
If you have a reasonable PageRank then you can also sell links on your blog to other website owners. From just selling a link to taking part in organised paid to post schemes, there are a whole load of sites making opportunities available to bloggers. Have a look at sites such as BlogDistributor, PayPerPost and InPostLinks and others and see which work best for you.
A blog can be absolutely anything you want within a website. An online blog is just a tool to easily create and manage a website and you can write about anything that you want to.

Three Reasons Why Bloggers Fail
Three Reasons Why Bloggers Fail
By Chris Gaynor
Blogs are started everyday, and yet, with the million of blogs that get started, very few go on to become commercially viable, or even get glanced at. Why? Because as much as blogging is about TRAFFIC, and CONTENT, it is about having the right mindset to take an idea, and put it into action with the ability to make a profit from it. There are, however, three reasons why bloggers fail.
Let's briefly go over the main points.
There are three reasons why bloggers fail....
1) They feel the market is saturated, and there is no room for another blog in that market.
2) They ask, "Why would anyone want to read what I've got to say on the topic?"
3) They think that they can't be original in that niche, as everyone is doing the same.
Let's just extend each point a little....
1) In any market, there is always room for one more take on a subject. In the internet marketing niche, the market is crammed with bloggers offering content on how to make money online, and there will always be a new take on an old subject. So don't feel that you can't offer something new, or won't be looked at.
Of course, you do have to look at branding...
2) Why would anyone want to read my content? Simple. People love reading new stuff. And if you have a new angle on something, then all the better. So don't fret that you won't get anyone reading your blog. It's likely that whilst you won't get 10, 000,000 people reading it, you will get at least more than 10 reading it. 10 is better than none.
3) Can you be original in a saturated niche? Yes. It's all about branding, and perception of something new. A teacher used to say to me at university, No content is 'new' it's just perceived as 'new.' Most content is just a rebranding of something else.
Think of POP MUSIC, FILMS, BOOKS, they are the same old stories rehashed and remade.
So, as long as you can pick out a branding angle for your product, i.e, your blog, then you have just a good a chance as any of gaining a readership.
I hope that's a little inspiration to get you started and to understand the top reasons why bloggers fail at blogging.
Next, If you are a complete newbie, then why not go to this link below, and grab your FREE ebook on mistakes newbie bloggers make when they first start blogging.

What Does Blog Marketing Involve?
What Does Blog Marketing Involve?
By John S. Rhodes
You've heard of blogging, but what exactly is blog marketing? It is marketing a blog, spreading the word about a blog and increasing its number of readers. Blog marketing is something bloggers put a lot of time and effort into. It's a way for them to create a very successful blog. Many bloggers are very serious about blog marketing, especially bloggers that earn a profit. However, for bloggers that just blog for fun, they may be less concerned about how successful their blog becomes.
There are a lot of different aspects of blog marketing and not every blogger markets their blog the same. Different blog marketing tools work well for some bloggers, while they don't do much for others. A lot of blog marketing is trial and errors. Bloggers make changes or try new things and then they have to wait and see if they increased readership or not.
It helps to promote a blog and improve its traffic or for some blogs, it's number of sales. It is an ongoing process. If a blogger stops marketing their blog, they won't get any more successful. Promoting a blog has to be done as long as the blogger is blogging.
Some more specific aspects of marketing include getting links on, leaving comments, improving search engine rankings, having RSS feeds, holding contests, etc. It is similar to marketing a website. Just because a blog or website exists don't mean everybody knows about it. Search engines play a large role in blog marketing. Bloggers use keywords, links, and search engine optimization to help improve their rank. People don't usually go through every page of results, so the higher up a page is on search engine results, the more likely it is to get clicked on.
Some marketing involves making a profit. Some bloggers sell ad space or do affiliate marketing so that they can earn money from blogging. Some bloggers sell a product on their blog so they want more readers so they are more likely to sell profits. Not all bloggers want to earn an income from blogging. Some people blog for fun and just try to earn a little extra cash from it, since they spend so much time doing it.
There is a lot to blog marketing and depending on a blogger's priorities the blog marketing techniques can vary greatly. It tend to be only as successful as their marketing efforts. If a blogger spends no time marketing, a blog probably won't be hugely successful. A blogger that dedicates hours to marketing every week, will probably have more readers and make more money. Marketing is hard work and it takes a lot of time, but for many bloggers it is well worth it.

Come Blog with Me and Ride the Crest of The Blogging Wave of Internet Business
Come Blog with Me and Ride the Crest of The Blogging Wave of Internet Business
By John Woon
When I first heard of the word "blog" years ago in the mid 90's, I was puzzled as to why I did not hear it earlier, having been immersed in the English language for more that 4 decades!
Naturally, I reached for my half-a-dozen copies of dictionaries on the shelf to check for its meaning but I could not find one. The reason is simple...... the word "BLOG" simply did not exist in my dictionaries including the Oxford Dictionary!
A frantic search led me to Oxford Dictionary of Modern Slang that eventually gave me a clue. It says "blog noun An Internet website containing an eclectic and frequently updated assortment of items of interest to its author. 1999-. [Shortening of weblog.] So blogger, noun"
Not happy with this half-hearted and vague explanation, I ventured into the Web to do further "research".
Lo and behold! I've got some more meaningful citations. Below is a list of these.
- Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site.
- A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog.
- A blog is information that is instantly published to a Web site. Blog scripting allows someone to automatically post information to a Web site. The information first goes to a blogger Web site. Then the information is automatically inserted into a template tailored for your Web site.
- A short form for weblog, a frequent and chronological publication of comments and thoughts on the web. They usually include philosophical reflections, opinions on the Internet and social or political issues.
- Web LOG is a journal kept on the internet. This journal is often updated daily and contains all information that the person maintaining the BLOG (Blogger) wishes to share with the world. Also applies to websites dedicated to a particular topic and being updated with the latest news, views and trends.
There's no need to go on because I'm now more than satisfied.
Many years have passed since and blogging has come a long way indeed. Not only can you do all the above mentioned, you could now make full use of it to promote and expand your Internet business.
Savvy marketers have discovered that blogging is one of the best Internet marketing methods that is free because you could create your blog almost immediately at no cost compared to the setting up of a conventional website.
Putting information in your blog to help establishing your presence in the Web is now a growing phenomenon. Blogging for your Internet business is one surefire way to enhance the visibility of your products and services.
With the continuing improvement in software technology, publishing, introducing plug-ins, banners, pictures etc to create a fun and interesting "website" has become a breeze even to those with old and rusty brains like me.
Here is what you could do to improve your Internet online business:-
1) Give advice to your visitors on specific tips, tricks and opportunities related to your own business with the objective to increase awareness not only about yourself but also your business. This will establish you as an authority with customers, prospects and casual visitors through your publications.
2) Encourage readers to leave their comments and feedback. Positive feedback could some times help you to improve your website design, layout, content and hence your buisness.
3) Make announcement and broadcasting on any new changes or offers available in your main websites, for instance, new products and/or services.
4) All your postings in your blog could be kept in an Archive file which is very friendly for retrieving. You can therefore keep track of all your business plans and old but important information. 5) Any articles which you have written and posted could be reprinted by others for their own websites with your permission on condition that the resource box about the author remains unchanged i.e. with all your important URLs intact. This would link your websites to other websites hence exposing your business to more visitors.
6) Try adding fresh and quality content to it on a regular basis since search engines like fresh content. As a result, search engines will list your website in their directories. As soon as you have pages of your blog in the search engines, you'll start attracting free traffic to your site without having to paying a dime for it.
7) Include links that will fetch back links and subsequently improve your ranking on search engines. Affiliate links in the form of advertisement banners could also be included in your blog to earn more extra income.
8) You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. You can have some kind of link exchanges with other bloggers for mutual benefits of increasing traffic to your blog and other main websites.
9) In summary, there's almost no limit to what you could and want to do with your blog. You can include your ideas, opinions, expertise in your field of work, resumes, home recipes, pictures, streaming audio or video clips, e-books, poetry, products, services, consultations etc., etc.
What are the main differences between a blog and a website then? You may ask.
Most websites are relatively permanent with only occasional updating. With blogs, you could post any new content almost on daily basis. Also, websites are usually less personal as far as their relationship with the visitors is concerned.
Visitors to your blog could leave comment after their visits which sometimes could prompt a follow-up discussion between you and them resulting with both parties learning from each another.
So how do you start blogging? There are many host services providers you could join. Among the most popular are Blogger.com and LiveJournal.com. I'm using Blogger.com which I find serving my needs just perfectly.
In closing, you must realize that to be successful in running your business blog, you need to be very passionate about products and services. Share your ideas, opinions and thoughts to assert yourself as an authority in your field. The visitors who are your customers or potential customers would remember your blog and keep coming back.

Everyone Can Blog
Everyone Can Blog
By Ben Tran
Blog is the prefer way and is a modern way to share personal experiences with the world wide web audiences and the masses. Blog is also a very good way for big corporations to announce their important news to their clients and prospects. Beside meeting face to face with their clients and prospects, blog helps big corporations convey their messages in a very personal aspect.
To read a blog is to read a short message, a long story of an event, a misspelled paragraph, a gibberish message, and everything else you can considered of. Blog is not your normal media where you know beforehand certain standards are apply. For example if you read everyday newspapers, and you know how certain headlines are present, and sometime the headlines are convey enough meaning that you do not need to delve further into the detail. To read a blog you got to take a different approach because the headline of a blog sometimes mean everything, and sometimes it means nothing; so you have to really digging into the details after-all.
It's quite annoying when certain blogs are fun to read but the blogs' creators decide to stop updating their blogs. It's also mind blogging when there are millions of blogs and bloggers popping out of the thin air and the search engines grabbing them up daily. Google's blog search engine is a very good example.
Blog is unlike newspapers and other medias, because blog is for everyone. Blogs do not fit for particular groups, but blog fits for all groups. Sometime people fear to write blog because they fear of writing bad blog. Do not fear your blog is a bad blog, because blog is just a tool for you to share your personal experiences with the masses.
To write a blog you need a blog host or you need a web space where you can upload your blog to. It's quite cumbersome if you do not have a blog software or a blog content management system. People who write blogs usually update their blogs quite frequently. Meaning that they have to write a lot and with the lack of blog softwares, you have to update your blog manually using HTML.
There are a lot of free websites that allow you to open a free account and use their blog softwares. One good blog web host website I know of is http://www.blogmyway.org/. They got excellent tools and features for you to open up a blog and share your experiences. Such features they have are normal text blog, upload photos to your blog, upload photos to your albums, mobile blog (e.g. Use your mobile phone and blog), podcasting (e.g. Audios and videos format), and many other available features when you open up an account with them. Don't worry about any fees when you open up an account with http://www.blogmyway.org/ because http://www.blogmyway.org/ provides only free blog hosting service. Another thing I like about http://www.blogmyway.org/ is that they do not put their advertisements or third parties advertisements onto your blog pages. Though they always welcome you to put up your own advertisements or adsense (google's advertisements) so you can make extra cash as your blog gets popular.
