There are actually many ways to make money blogging, and sometimes the hardest thing is choosing which method is best for your blog. You could add advertising, promote affiliate products and even sell your own products, however the one thing you need before you can even consider cashing in on your writing is getting traffic to your blog.

Traffic is the number one factor in determining if you will make money blogging or not. After all, you could have the best possible layout for monetization but if no-one visits your blog then you'll never make any cash.

The first step to getting more traffic to your blog is good keyword and phrase selection. You need to be able to choose those keywords and phrases that have a lot of search terms but don't have a lot of competition.

You can easily do your research with a number of free online keyword tools and then type your phrases into Google to see how much competition they have.
Once you have found good phrases it is simply a matter of using them in your title and again a few times in your content (but make sure you don't over do it as some search engines don't like the overuse of key phrases).

Once you are getting traffic to your blog now you can add your money making features.

You should choose to promote only those products that are directly related to your subject matter to get the best result. Promoting affiliate products is probably the fastest ways to get your blog making money for you because many affiliate programs pay fortnightly or monthly.

Adding advertising, either by finding specific advertisers yourself or using Google's AdSense ad system is another way to help make more money from your blog, however often they take a longer time to pay out.

As you can see, traffic is your number one priority for making money blogging so if you can get that, you can cash in on your blog.

Do you blog? If not, you are missing out on a booming business, not to mention the latest fad on the Internet. Everyone is blogging these days your Grandmother is probably blogging if she has a computer!

Blogging isnt just fun, it is a business that has really taken off. In fact, many people are making full time livings simply by blogging each and every day. Dont you wish you could spend thirty minutes or so a day writing an entry for your blog and then go do the things you really enjoy in life? You can if you learn how niche blogging works.

There is blogging and there is niche blogging. Niche blogging is where the money is. Here is how it works: You do some research to find out what is popular these days. You set up a blog. You find affiliate products for your blog. You write an entry each day. You market your blog. You collect the money. Sounds simple, right?

Well, once you get the hang of it, it is simple but starting out takes a little more work, and a lot more thought starting with the research that you need to do. What will your niche be? There are millions of people blogging about millions of topics. The more unique your topic can be the better you will do. Even if you cant choose a unique topic, the way you blog, or the information you put on your blog should be unique so you can compete with the other bloggers in your niche.

That part isnt so simple finding your niche. Start by finding out what the most popular keyword searches are in the search engines. Do a search for those keywords using RSS feed software or using a search engine type in the keyword followed by the word blog or RSS. How many people are blogging? If the keywords are popular, there are probably hundreds or thousands of blogs in that niche already. Can you use any of those keywords and create a unique blog? If so, go for itif not, keep searching.

Think about your own interests. If you are interested in a particular hobby or topic, the chances are good that thousands or even millions of other people are. What is your favorite reality television show? People blog about Survivor, and some of those blogs have a huge following. This goes to show you that even if you do choose a topic that many people are blogging about, you can still make it unique enough to become quite popular.

Setting up your blog is simple. You can get your own webhosting account that includes blogging scripts. These are simple to install, and usually only takes a few clicks of the mouse from the webhosting control panel. You need your own domain name, which can be ordered when you order your hosting account in most cases. However, if you are not tech savvy, you may need to hire someone to do a little tweaking for you. Basically, you need to choose the colors that you want to use for your blog pages and put your affiliate ads on templates. Again, if you dont know how to do this, you can easily and cheaply hire someone to do this for you through a site such as Rent-A-Coder at http://www.rentacoder.com
