How to Blog Tutorial - How to Write a Money Making Blog

Have you ever built a blog and later found out that everything was a waste of time and your were not pulling any traffic to your blog?

Keyword research is very important

This is how your readers actually find you in search engines. You just can't write the way you want and hope that you will get lots of readers. It doesn't work that way. You need to know what kind of keywords you should use. I get very good results with competition that has less than 20,000 pages. But how do you find low competition keywords. 

You search for your main keyword, then you download all the results and search again, using your first search results. This is how you dig deeper and deeper. Once you have built a huge list, head over to Market Samurai and filter out the best ones. Later I will explain how you can do that exactly, step by step.

Right plugins for your blog

One of the most important plugins for your blog is All in One SEO Pack. This will allow you to change your blog post title and add a description. There's a few more plugins that you can use to improve your blog, but make sure you have this All in One SEO Pack. Also make sure you go to Settings>Permalinks and select the custom option and write %postname%. 

This will change your blog post URL with your blog post title. This is also very important for search engine optimization. You can find more about how to blog successfully in my author bio.

How to Build a Website - Tutorial in 3 Steps

Building a website is an often overlooked topic in the deluge of ebooks out there on how to start a business. But maybe you just want to build a simple website where you can put up a few photos and share them with your family and friends. Recently, a friend of mine needed a website to display his resume online. Or, maybe you just want to build a website to sell online and make enough residual income for a car payment.

With the right tools, building a website can be a step by step process and is much more simple than many people might think. It's definitely not something to fear any longer. If you can get online and read this article, you can certainly build a website. You just need a little instruction.

Here are a few tips for getting started.

* Have an idea on what you need the website to do. Will it be for family photos, a resume, your journal entries, or do you want to put up products for sale, or work with affiliates and sell their products? Keeping this in mind gives you an idea on how complex building the site will be.

* Find an easy web building tool. This step is key. I've built numerous websites and have tried many of the tools out there. Some cost big bucks, some charge monthly fees before you even begin building, but I've found that the best, and easiest tool, is actually free. Tripod, owned by Lycos, lets you build your entire site before they charge you a penny. If you don't like where you end up, you can start over and try again, all for no cost. If you like what you've built then the only cost is for a domain name (includes hosting fees) and removes any advertisements from your site. Simple as that.

* Find people like you who can help get you started and that you can talk to along the way. I didn't have this chance when I got started, but it would have helped me drastically. With the advent of social networking sites, you can easily find a community where there are others like you who are in the same position, or willing to coach.
