Blogging is one of the best ways for a person new to internet marketing to make money online.
The main reason for this is that with software like Blogger and Wordpress it is very easy to setup and does not require much technical information to frequently update your blog.
In this article I would like to go over some steps that will help you to make money from blogging with relative ease.
1) Find a niche market with high paying Google AdSense keywords The easiest way to monetize your blog is to use Adsense.
You basically need to include some adverts on a high traffic page and people will click on your adverts earning you money.
To earn a decent income with AdSense though you need to choose keywords that will pay sufficient money to justify building a website and getting traffic to it.
Do some research on niche markets and find one where the keywords for AdSense advertising will at least be thirty to forty cents a click.
2) Create a professional design for your blog It is very important that your website looks professional.
This will represent your business identity and if it is not up to scratch then people will not take you seriously.
If you are not clued up with html design then I seriously suggest that you hire a web designer to help you with this.
3) Maximize your AdSense earnings Once you place your adverts on your website it is very important that you maximize your earnings from these.
The best place to place your adverts is near the top.
The best layout that has worked for me is the 336 x 280 one as it looks like content and will increase your click through rate.
