How do you start a blog?

Posted on 11:11 PM by Kasey Baker | 1 comments

Starting a blog is very simple. First you have to choose a topic for your blog. You can start a blog about anything. It can be about something you like to write about, something you know a lot about, or just about you. I know people with personal blogs, just about themselves that make decent money with it. You can choose something you think a lot of people will want to learn about. Choose a more narrow topic so people can find you easier. If there are a thousand blogs about your topic you better be pretty darn good, or nobody will ever find you.
Once you know what you want to blog about the next step is to pick the best web hosting for your needs. Web hosting can be entirely free, other you pay a lot because it helps you out a lot. If you are very new to the blogging world, I would suggest free hosting like Wordpress.com or Blogger (what I am using right now.) If you have a little more experience you probably want to move away from free hosting and find your own web hosting. This is when it gets tricky because there are thousands of web hosting sites that all have different prices and deals. I have been shopping around for paid web hosting, and these are the best two sites I have found.
Just Host offers unlimited storage, unlimited traffic, and a free domain, all for just $3.45 a month.
Go Daddy is the biggest and most popular web hosting service available. They have unlimited storage, unlimited traffic, and a free domain for the price of $12.74 a month. They have deals and offers all the time where you can get it a little cheaper.

How do you make money blogging?

The best way to make money is with ads. You get paid for each click on the ads on your blog or website. Most people like to stick with the big ones like Yahoo and Google ads. But I have found that some of the smaller ones have a whole lot more to offer.

The best one I have found is Bidvertiser. Why is it better? Because they not only pay more for each click, but they also have a much easier payout process. They pay by check or by PayPal with a low $10 minimum payout.

They also have a very good referral program.
When a user signs as an advertiser and first spends $10, they will credit your account with $5. When that same advertiser spends $50, you will be credited with an additional $20.
When a user signs as a publisher and first earns $10, they will credit your account with $10. When that same publisher earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40.

It would be worth it just to make money with referrals.

Here's the link if you are interested in advertising with Bidvertiser. Your first 20 dollars is free.

Sites that pay you to write website reviews

Posted on 12:37 PM by Kasey Baker | 0 comments

This is where I make the most money. These sites pay you to write about other sites you have used, or know about.
IM Report Card is probably my favorite site. It is very easy to make money fast. They pay you one cent for each comment you rate, 10 cents for each site or product you rate, 50-1.50 for each comment you write, and one dollar for each new site you suggest. You also make %100 percent of everything your referrals make. They pay by PayPal once you reach 2000 credits, which is $20.00.

A W Surveys paye you for website evaluations. The first survey is worth 6 dollars, and after that usually 4 dollars. This is higher than most other survey sites, and they have more you can do at a time. They pay $1.25 for each referral. The reason they pay so much is because the minimum payout is 75 dollars, so you have to keep at it and not give up. They pay by PayPal, Alertpay, or mail. Beware if you ask for payment by PayPal they deduct 25 dollars for no reason.
AW Surveys
Carrot Reviews is a little different. They pay you 2 dollars for each site you write a review about, and 5 dollars for each review if you are the first one to review it. Also if your review is rated by other people it can make 10 dollars. They pay by PayPal once you reach $10.00, and it is always within 48 hours.

Here are some sites that allow you to make money several different ways.

Blogging

Posted on 7:14 AM by Kasey Baker | 0 comments

I’m sure you’ve heard about people that have made 5 figures a year blogging. A lot of people hear this and think they can just start a blog and have the cash flowing in. The truth is most people will not make much money at all from their blogs. The amount of money you can make blogging depends on several things.
1. The content of your blog. It has to be a topic that you know a lot about, and a lot of people want to read about.
2.The quality of your blog. Nobody wants to read a blog with spelling or grammatical errors.
3.The amount of time you put into your blog. You have to devote yourself to writing several articles a week, and spending time getting the most traffic to your blog as you possibly can.
4.The ads you put on it. Adsense will not pay you as well as some say it will. But it will pay some once you are getting enough hits.
So if you start a blog with the sole purpose of making money chances are you won’t make anything at all. And if you do it will take a very long time before you start making anything significant. Some people even lose money.
The purpose of my blog is not to make money, as you can see by the lack of ads. I’m just trying to show other people how they too can make money online.

How much can you expect to get from “paid to” sites?

Posted on 8:24 PM by Kasey Baker | 0 comments

You can probably expect to make about 20 to 50 dollars a month from a good website, if you work pretty hard at it. Anything that promises more than that just might be a scam. But considering that’s just a couple minutes a week, it can be well worth the effort. I would suggest that you register with several different sites, especially if you need the extra money. I know a few people that are members of dozens of sites. You also want to make sure you get as many referrals as you can. Some sites offer a small percentage of everything that they make (10-50%), others it is a flat rate for each referral ($1-$5).

Writing articles

Posted on 4:17 PM by Kasey Baker | 0 comments

Another great way to make a little cash is writing articles online. Some sites will pay you as much as $5 or more for every article. You just pick a topic you know a lot about and write about it, you can write several articles a day. Here is a list of sites that will pay you to write for them.
