Okay, I know you’re getting tired of the Blog talk, but some people might actually be interested. In this new venture, I have found that setting up a blog-site properly takes some effort. But, if you are interested I have come up with a basic list of what I have done so far. Unfortunately I haven’t really been able to get to the writing that i really want to do as of yet. But, everything I am doing right now is part of a plan. That plan is to be able to entertain you, the reader, on a daily basis. So I am going the route of Affiliate Marketing to get paid for my writing, thus allowing me more time to entertain on this site and on others. I had two questions when I first started.
1. How Do I Start Blogging?
I am pretty computer illiterate but this is what I have done so far. I first started an account at blogger.com. I actually have some pretty good stuff on it. I have 1 really good story on there right now, and I plan on writing “The Mask” on there tonight, check it out. Blogger.com is very idiot friendly, so I didn’t have any problem there. It’s as simple as logging in to your e-mail. Then I found a program that gave me some good tips on starting a blog, kind of a Blogging for Dummies . It walked me through it all like I was an infant, which I am CPU speaking. It’s FUN!
2.How DO I Make Money Blogging?
Well it seems that the most popular way is through Affiliate Marketing. Affiliate Marketing is where you use your blog to advertise for other wbesites and products. You initially need to set up an AFFILIATE ACCOUNT, Clickbank seems to be the most popular. From there you can find items to promote on your blog and it even supplies the sales pages and the links to those pages. Basicly, what happens is, if someone clicks on the hyperlink that you set on your blog, and they buy the product, you get a commission. Theoretically, if you get alot of traffic to your blog, you can make a pretty nice income through this process. If this interests you, then this is a really popular program that walks you through the whole process.
3. How do I build traffic?
That one I obviously still haven’t gotten to yet. My quest for this missing piece of the puzzle is what is taking me so long to really get started on my REAL writing. But, I’m only about half-way through the aforementioned program as of right now. What, you think I have the time to do this all day? Not yet, But that is the goal. CHEERS

Yeah, Actually if you like to write at all, and have the time, there are many ways to work out a system that works for you. You should check out the link for FREE REPORT blogging for Dollars, it is very informative. Basically, it explains how to advertise for other companies from your blog and earn commissions from the sales. It’s pretty easy, but you need to like to write, and have a few hours a week to dedicate to it.
