Written on November 3, 2009 – 3:41 pm | by Leelin Lee

Want to run a blog and earn some extra money online? While this is possible (millions of others are doing it as you read this) you shouldn’t expect it to happen overnight, or without a concerted effort on your part.

If you’re just starting out I would suggest you set-up a Blogspot blog. They are free and easy to monetize. Blogspot, also called Blogger, is owned by Google so setting up AdSense is really a snap.

A hosted Wordpress.org blog is widely felt to be the best way to gain respect and credibility for your blogging, but if the $10.00 or so a month is beyond your reach one of the free blogging platforms is the way to go.

Whether you are using a hosted blog or a free one you should choose a niche that you know something about. Why? Because if you are “into” whatever you’re going to blog about (your niche) you will find writing content much faster and easier. The trick to easy content creation is knowing your subject well!

From the start you should be figuring out just what you can sell you future visitors to your blog. Get into your their heads-what do they want and/or need? You job as an Internet Marketer is to supply exactly what it is that they want or need, and turn your little niche blog into a money sucking machine!

So you want to work from your home and make some extra money online? There are many ways to accomplish this, but I think starting your own blog is the best way! This way you will have an online presents, and will have to do some writing, (which you had better get used to.)

Choose a niche you have a passion for and your visitors will see this and those that share your passion will become regulars at your blog-part of your online community. Then you work within this community to build relationships, perhaps partnerships, or joint venture opportunities, or at least sell them that “thing” they want and/or need.

Try to enjoy your time online, don’t get obsessive about it, just keep plugging away at it and in time success will come. Think about starting several blogs in different niches, so all your eggs are not in one basket. Who knows this could very well be the start of something big!
