Let’s focus on one way to make money through internet marketing and home-based businesses in the Internet Age. Blogging falls under both categories but, however you decide to classify it, this one can be great fun. What’s better than spending a few hours every day writing about your passion and getting well paid for the effort?
Of course, nothing is stopping you from writing about your passion immediately. The making money part? That’s going to take a little more time and effort.
Back to basics. If you haven’t heard the term before, “blog” is a shortened form of “webblog”, and refers to the practice of making regular posts to an online journal. In the early days, most blogs were of the personal nature, “what I’m doing” or “what I’m thinking.” Today, blogs are big business and have grown way beyond their modest beginnings.
Pick a topic like NFL football. You can bet there are plenty of blogs dedicated solely to discussing every excruciating detail as the season progresses. You can also bet a handful of those blogs are getting hundreds of thousands of visitors each month and a certain percentage of those visitors are taking advantage of related goods and services advertised on the blogs.
That’s how you make money blogging.
You can get started blogging at no charge by using the free, Goodle-owned platform Blogger (also known as Blogspot), or get your own domain name and hosting and use the uber-popular (and search engine friendly) WordPress.
If you like to write, blogging might be the perfect online business for you.
