A blog is like a diary and can be based on any topic, from fishing and car repair to family life. Write about what you know about, knowledge is everything and the world we live in is thirsty for it. You think that the little knowledge you have about the snallest subject is of no use to anyone? WRONG very WRONG get writing..
You can use free webspace with any of the sites listed below or buy your own domain name and webspace, eaither is fine and the free ones are just as good. Its the advertising of your site and its content thats important not the webspace and domain.
You can advertise other peoples sites on your own and your own site can be anything from a blog to family sites. They pay you for each click, lead or sale you generate through a link or banner placed on your site. Once you have built a site and got it high ranking and bringing in lots of traffic this can be one of the biggest ways to make money online. See my affiliate page. There are so many companies offering pay per click and affiliate programs all of which pay in different ways
Top tips to get your website or blog noticed quickly for free
1.Submit to search engines There are many people offering to get you listed on search engines quickly for a price. Firstly there is no quick way, each site or blog that is submitted to search engines gets crawled and added at the same pace as anoy other blog or site. Why pay when you can do it yourself. Here is a cool tool i have added for you, simply fill in your blog/site title, your url, and your email address (so the search engines can confirm your submission). What could be more easier than that Using the tool above you have sucessfully submitted to 20 popular search engines......there is many more search engines out there you can manualy submit your blog/site to. If you dont want to sit and fill out each submission form then there is a great program that will do just like the form above but submit your blog to hundreds, and there is no form filling. Be #1 on Google and Yahoo!
2. Submit to Directories Directories are like sub-domanins of search engines, and there are thousands out there, you need to pick out the free ones and submit your blog/site url to each one Search Engine Submission Software is again the software i reccomend to fill in all the directory forms for you, it saves you so much time, especialy if your serious about blogging.
