Is There Hope For Blogging From Home For Money? PartII

Who's Telling the Blogging Truth?

This part you folks at home may find shocking. Truth is, most of these people are really making good money blogging. Now while they may not be making the billions that they claim, they may be making a decent living sitting at home. The catch is that they are not giving up all of the information needed to succeed blogging. They claim they will for about two pages, and then they ask for money. Don't get me wrong, some of these programs might deliver on their promises and get you off to a good start. But most are generic CDs that they ordered from someone else. Don't pay a penny for anything until you are informed.

Making Money for Free?

I know, when you were growing up, you were told "there's no such thing as a free lunch". This still holds true if you consider the work that goes into blogging. But as far as money up front is concerned, none. You will be able to create blogs, host websites, and join Adsense for free. In fact, if you learn to use these 3 tools, you too will be sitting at home and making money for blogging. Notice I mentioned Adsense a moment ago. This program, provided by Google, will be the single most important tool for putting money in your pocket. This is the secret weapon of these people working from home.

The Not So Secret Weapon

This is the first step for any newbie. Adsense is free and self explanitory. If you don't have an account yet, make it a priority. This program is a blogging must if you plan on making any money from home. Once you get your blog in place, Adsense will be in your edit options. The best place to setup this blog is Blogger.com. It seems as if one was made for the other. There will be a few things to setup for your Adsense account, such as payment home address, payment threshold (so they know how much and where to send your money), and tax info. They will walk you through step by step.

Niche Groups

I touched on this earlier, but need to express the importance of it. You should definitely be blogging about things you are interested in. However, if your main interest is coal mining, you might want to move on to your second favorite. Unfortunately, interesting as this may be, it will never make money. You might as well be sitting at home watching TV. Blogging about popular subjects is in your best interest , that's where the money is. So pick your favorite of popular subjects, and start blogging your heart out.

Okay that's enough blogging for today. Make sure you join me in part III of my experiences in blogging from home to make money.
