How To Start a Money-Making Blog

Living the Laptop Lifestyle
There are so many people who want to work from home as an online blogger, but they don’t know how to start blogging or how to keep it going.

Luckily, because you’re already a writer, you’re ahead of the crowd because you’d have no trouble filling a blog with useful content.

But the big question is what to blog about?

It’s one thing to know that you want to earn money blogging, but knowing what to write about can be tricky.

The answer though is really simple.

You can either write about something you already know about

Or

Write about a subject you’re interested in.

As an example, in my ebook and blogging course, Living the Laptop Lifestyle, I demonstrate how this can be done with the subject of knitting.

This is a topic that many people know about because it’s their hobby. But is it really possible to have a money-making blog about something so simple as knitting?

On my sales page I show you an excerpt from the chapter about finding a niche for your blog and all the possibilities for earning income from something as simple as blogging about knitting.

I also know of one blogger who started a really popular blog about World War II. He had no first-hand experience of it, but he was passionate about the subject and could spend hours researching and reading about it and so put his efforts into a popular blog, which, unfortunately, he no longer has due to health and personal complications.

There is also another really successful blogger who started a blog about parrots when he found that there wasn’t enough information for parrot owners online. Today that is a thriving online business.

And there is also Rhonda Hetzel who started a blog about how she lives simply in her Sunshine Coast Hinterland Home in Australia. Now she is a best selling author and a local celebrity. You can read her blog at http://down---to---earth.blogspot.com.au

So you see, you can start a successful, money-making blog about almost any subject.

If it’s something that you know a lot about there is probably an audience for it.

But the real secret of successful blogging is getting it going and keeping it going CONSISTENTLY. Note the emphasis on the word “consistently.” It’s no good starting if you don’t keep going.

Just start and see how far it can take you.

You are a writer.

So write yourself a money-making blog.

Subliminal-Power - Reprogram your inner subconscious mind


I'm a big fan of self-improvement books and courses. I think each of us owes it to ourselves to become all that we can be.

But reading a book or following a course is so time-consuming. Sometimes I feel that there are so many aspects of my life I want to improve I'll be an old man before I've even changed half of them!

That's why I was delighted to discover Bradley Thomson and his incredible 'Subliminal Power' website.

Bradley's Subliminal Power tool lets you achieve all that you want to achieve in a fraction of the time and with absolutely NO effort whatsoever! It's a little tool that runs in the background on your PC, making carefully constructed 'suggestions' to your subconscious while you get on with your work. It's the mental equivalent of those abdominal exercisers that let you do 3,000 press ups while sitting in a chair!

With Bradley's technology you can raise your IQ to genius level, develop astonishing powers of concentration and recall, become a 'natural' salesperson or public speaker and even 'command' your body to lose weight. You can use subliminal messaging to be who YOU want to be with absolutely NO effort on your behalf!

It's far more powerful than hypnosis ... in fact, I'd go so far as to say it's the most powerful tool for self-empowerment there is.

Check out Bradley's site.

3 Different Ways To Make Money Blogging


“Blog Media Showing Weblog Website” by Stuart Miles
I’ve been asked many times about making money online as a writer.

My advice depends on each individual writer’s situation and goals.

Usually I say that if you want to earn money from your writing quickly, then freelancing is the way to go.

But what if you don’t want to write for other people and instead you want to write for yourself and earn money from your blog or website?

Well, if that’s the case, then there are 3 simple, easy and free ways to earn money from blogging.

1. Advertising. This simply means writing lots of blog posts or articles and surrounding them with PPC ads or paid ads. To earn money writing this way it would mean doing adequate research to make sure you’re using the correct keywords (to get enough traffic to your site) and to make sure your posts and/or articles are useful and informative so that people will want to read them. (Listen to an old - 2008 - but fascinating interview of Captain Tim Gorman who began blogging using nothing but PPC advertising on his sites and built a hugely profitable online business from it. )

2. Affiliate Marketing. To make money selling affiliate products means finding quality products that you can sell for commission and writing blog post or articles that help sell them.

3. Books. Naturally the best way to earn money writing is by selling your own books and ebooks. And these days, Amazon’s Kindle Publishing Platform (kdp.amazon.com) makes it so quick and easy to publish your books as ebooks and physical books, with no upfront cost to you. Then you can write articles or blog posts to really help sell them.

So, in a nutshell, these are the 3 easiest and simplest ways to earn money writing for your own blog or website.

Of course, you need to market it well to make sure you get enough visitors to your site, but that’s a whole other topic for another day.

But you can start today by keeping it simple just so that you can get it going.

And eventually, you’ll be able to work online from anywhere and live your own Laptop Lifestyle.
