This article is going to teach you two very vital skills of the twenty-first century. The two skills are how to make a blog (a one page website) easily and how to derive some profits from your effort.

The need to combine these two lessons in one write-up stems from the fact that many people who own a blog do not know how to manage the blog by themselves, because of the technicalities. This therefore poses a challenge on their vision of using it to make some extra or even a living income.

Conversely, others spend too much time on the technicalities of blog creation and therefore miss out on the real deal, that is, how to use their blog in a smarter way to bring in higher income than they are presently making.

Whichever is your current situation, you will end up a happier person today if you can read this article to the end, hopefully.

How To Create Your Own Blog By Yourself:

There are many ways you can create your own blog easily by yourself. You can either use Blogger (owned by a Company known as Google). You can also use WordPress, etc.

To simplify matters and make it very easy for you to focus on learning the skill, let me use only one of them, there after, if you care, you can apply the skill to others with some minor variations according to their terms of service. This way, I hope to help you avoid one of the biggest pitfalls that beginners as well as professionals face on the Internet – Information Overload.

How To Set Up A Blogger Website:

To set up a blogger website take the following steps:

a. Visit the Blogger Site to create your new blog.

b. Check on the left hand side where you see ‘Create a Blog’ and click on it

c. Fill in the data requested on the space provided

d. Click continue at the right lower end of the page, and do so to the end.

Yes, as I told you, it is as simple as that. Google does all the technical works for you behind the scene. Thus the process is automatic and easy for the rest of us.

How To Profit From Your Blog:

This phase involves two easy but important steps which are:

A) Writing and submitting keyword-rich articles to free article submission sites like Street Articles, EzineArticles, etc:

Keywords are simply the word that people all over the world are typing into Internet browsers while they are searching for things to buy online. All you need to do is to write a 400+ words article, sign up with any of the sites mentioned above. Remember to read their terms of service (T.O.S.) before you sign up to load your articles. Also note that there are so many of such sites online, but my aim here is to take you through the shortest route to cash generation.

B) Attaching an Affiliate Link at strategic points of the articles:

The idea here is to get an Affiliate Product similar to what you wrote about and promote it with the article that you just wrote.

Visit: ClickBank and sign up to promote any their products.

Click where they write Marketplace and check through all the sections to pick the product of your choice. When you have seen the product that you want to sell for a living, click where you see ‘Promote’.

Fill in your ClickBank id (Account Nickname) and click on ‘create’

You will then be presented with two links, pick the second one that starts with Other site that deals with Affiliate products are:

ShareASale

Commission Junction

LinkShare

Yeah, it is a simple as that! You are now ready to enjoy your Affiliate Dollars.

So far, we have seen how to create a free blog and use it in a smart way to profit online. The best parts of this business is that you do all these with no investment except the time - about one hour a day. Yeah, you can even make a living from it, depending on your commitment.
