Who doesn’t want a blog? I mean almost everyone has a blog and of course you should also. But you aren’t sure what you need and how to get it. Don’t worry I can help you.

First decide free or paid? Do you want to be able to own everything from your blog or would you rather use a free service like blogger which is very popular.

For me personally I like to own my words and my blogs. But this is a personal choice.

Next you need to choose a topic and a name to go with that topic. Make sure you choose a topic you admire and love and can write on for a long time. You don’t want to write about cars if you don’t enjoy talking about cars. Instead pick something you really love and want to write about.

Before you even look at hosting, buy a domain or set up a blogger account write out a months worth of postings. If you hope to post daily then write out 30 postings. Most blogs update at least twice a week. It’s up to you and only you how often you post.

Once you have those posts done.. get to buying hosting. Look at a few hosting review sites, ask friends ask family, ask other webmasters and go with the host that you think fits your needs. You normally won’t need more than 1gb of space but I do recommend you get hosting that allows you to have more than one site and one that also has one click script install. You may want to use Wordpress or some other content manager.

Grab your domain. ( name.com is cheaper than Go daddy in the long run)

Now it’s time to set up your blog. Have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Just have fun. Good Luck

Do Pay to Click Sites Make You Money

by C Robinson on July 27, 2010

in make money online

How many times have you seen an ad for some kind of BUX or PTC site?  Tons of times right? And I’m sure you were like me and got excited to see you can earn money just by clicking a few ads. Well, It’s true you can earn money by just clicking a few ads. But is it easy not so much.

A few months ago I was feed up with working so hard on my blogs and stores that I decide to do two things. One was to job 7 ptc sites and the second was to blog about my findings. Sadly before I could even finish a whole month the hosting company disappeared along with the blog :(

Ok so let me tell you how people actually make money from these sites. One word referrals! Without them you might as well give up.

Now for the draw backs of paid to click sites…  you have to go on to these sites daily and click on ads. Doesn’t sound so bad right? Well think of it this way if you are a member of 7 sites and each site has daily at least 5 ads that need to run for about 15 seconds each.. that’s about 15 to 30 minutes you’d spend doing that kind of job. Does that sound bad no… but after a few days it can be dull and pointless.

You aren’t gonna make so much money over time. When I first started doing this websmastering stuff, I met a lady in a forum that said it took her 1 whole year to make $7  from about 2 or 3 ptc sites. Kinda sad right?

Paid to click sites can make you money but it will take up all your time and you will also have to find a way to get referrals.

So before you sign up for those paid to click programs consider other things. Then if you still want to try it out, only join two and see how you like those two sites before joining any more.

Good luck!
