Have you gotten your blog up and running yet? If not, here is Part 2 to help get you going!

Installing Your Blog Software -

If you’ve followed my advice in my previous post (Part1), you won’t need to pay for blogging software. You just login to your CPanel, navigate to Fantastico, and look for the blogging software. Installing it is very easy. Fill in a little information and press the button - you are ready to go.

There are many choice of blog software, but the easiest to install, configure, and use seems to be WordPress. WordPress also works well with Search Engine Optimization.

Now, to set your blog up for revenue -

Revenue for your Blog

There are numerous ways to earn money from your blog. Later, we will be covering several way to do that. One note here, is that you can easily (and should) have more than one source of revenue from your blog.

First off -

You have to start blogging and blogging often. Once you are set up, you will need to start populating your blog with good content (blog post). Some ‘bloggeres’ pay ghostwriters to write their blog posts while others write their own. I always write my own because it takes out the personal touch. To me blogging is a personal thing - you need to build a relationship with your readers.

When you submit blog posts promoting your own product or someone else’s product you want to use certain keywords that are related to your target market in you blog post. This will help your search engine optimization and get your domain ranked higher in the search engines - and depending on the revenue sources you have chosen to add to your blog you need to post daily. You should try to blog daily, but never allow more than 3 or 4 days to go by before you blog again.

Promoting your blog -

Once you’ve started posting, there are a variety of methods that you can use to promote your blog. I am not going to cover blog promotion but if you really want to find the best methods to get free traffic to your blog you should take a look at StartYourProfitsToday. This is a full set of great videos that takes you from step 1 of setting up your blog to getting traffic.

Some of the areas included in the videos include pinging, listing in blog directories, commenting on other people’s blogs, search engine marketing, and more. It is a good idea to take a blog marketing course in order to really get your blog out in the public’s eye.

That’s really all there is to it. Of course, each step has its own little steps to complete. That’s why I’m recommending you get the videos I mentioned earlier. You can have your blog up and running in an hour or less. Within a day you could have multiple sources of revenue for your blog. Within a week, you will have traffic to your blog.

Think about it, is there any other business that can be started - completely up and running, with revenue coming in- in just a week? And better yet, is there any business that you know of that can be started with so little money? If you find it let me know!

Keep watching and I’ll be posting Part 3 in the near future!
