How to Start an Online Business Simply and Free


There are many people who now have blogs and earn income from them.

Many also earn all their income from their blogs or websites.

Earning money online is a dream come true for a lot of people yet few seem to actually do it.

So what holds people back?

It's usually fear. Either fear of failing or even, fear of succeeding.

So what's the simplest way to set up a blog?

And how can you do it for free?

And how can you make money from it?

Setting up a money-making blog or website

If you want to set up your own online business, don't try to get it right. Just get it going.

Trying to be perfect will prevent you from getting out of the proverbial starting gate.

My first ever website for writers was terrible. I don't know how I made money from it but I did.

On reflection, I think that the only reason I made money was because I got the website going. I didn't procrastinate, I just wanted to do it. So I found out how and just did it.

Writers need websites (or blogs) as a place to sell their books. Having a website and being able to use it to market your books really helps. It's also a place where you can earn a residual income while you write.

So if you want to get started, do it now. Don't wait for a better time (there's no such thing) or wait till you can get it perfect. Just get it going.

If you want to do it for free,  that's OK too. This blog that you're reading is a free blog from Google. It's called Blogger.

Many popular website are run on Blogger including Down to Earth and Zero Waste Home (ZWH has its own domain name but it is still run on Blogger which you can see at the bottom). The owner of the Down To Earth blog is now an author of several books and was offered several book deals after a publishing company saw her blog and liked her style of writing.

Just Google Blogger to get going now and you can have your blog up and running in minutes. It's the easiest free blogging software I've ever found.

And if you want to publish your books quickly then set up a publishing account with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing at http://kdp.amazon.com. It's free and you can sell your ebooks all over the world through every Amazon website.

You can also use Amazon's free print publishing service called Create Space. Your book files are uploaded to the Amazon website and printed and shipped when ordered.

Just keep everything simple when you get started online and you can grow your writing and publishing business from there.

Just remember that you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going.

And after that, anything can (and will) happen.

How to Write Fast and Earn More Money From Your Writing

Writing fast is really fun and extremely productive.

There are some that will tell you to take your time and be really creative. “Enjoy the process” is what they tell you, but to me it’s a mantra for failure, because you won’t enjoy things that take too long to do.

Making goals happen fast is a lot more fun and more profitable.

“Short Cut” article writing system you can learn and use immediately, no matter how lazy or busy your are.

“Note Paper With Marker Pen And Paperclips” by everydayplus
Being a successful writer means doing a lot of article writing.

And by successful I mean someone who earns all their income from their writing. If you can make a living as a writer it means that people want to hear what you have to say. They enjoy what you write.

But that means writing a lot of articles (or blog posts…same thing).

This can be hard at first but once you have an article writing system in place, you just work your system and the articles get written with little effort and faster than you ever thought possible.

Successful bloggers write many blog posts, emails and articles.

And they do it by using an article writing system.

You see, no matter what you’re doing, if you don’t have a system, you won’t get as much done as you could.

When I walk my dogs, I know that the first thing I have to do is get my shoes an socks out, get out my keys and my phone and put them in the dog-walking bag that I take with me that also contains ‘poop’ bags.

Then I put on my shoes and socks, put my bag on my shoulder, put the leads on the dogs and off we go.

That’s my dog walking system.

When I clean out the car I take everything out of it first, shake the mats, polish the inside, vacuum the mats, vacuum inside the car, put everything back in and wash the outside.

It’s a system and washing the car would take a lot longer if I had to stop and think all the time or I forgot to take everything out before I polished or forgot to take out the mats first.

Having a system for doing things makes me efficient.

It’s like cooking a meal. I have to follow a recipe and do things in the correct order so that everything finishes cooking at the same time. And I’ve been making family meals for so long now that I have a great system in the kitchen.

And it’s no different when it comes to writing articles.

I gather ideas in one book.

I go to the book when I want to write an article.

I outline an article.

I write the article.

I find a suitable image to accompany it.

I proof and edit the article (searching for the image first gives me a bit of space between writing and editing so that I have “fresh” eyes to read it with).
I upload it along with the image.

I preview it.

I hit publish.

And it goes even deeper than that because I also have a system for how I structure an article, meaning I have a way that I set them out with a beginning a middle and an end.

My article writing system is so streamlined that it makes it really easy to write several articles an hour.

How about you?

If you’re not finding enough time to write, having an article writing system with definitely enable you to get more articles written without needing more time, no matter how busy or how lazy you are.

A good article writing system makes things easier and fast.

How to Submit Your Book To A Publisher

When I first began my publishing business I used to accept book manuscripts from authors.

This was back in the day before digital publishing so every book had to be printed and shipped all over the world.

And you’d think that with so many authors competing for publication, that they’d follow instructions for submitting their manuscripts and only send their best work.

You’d think so, wouldn’t you?

Well you’d be wrong.
