The first thing you need to do to support your "how to make money online ideas" is to obtain a blog. There are several excellent blog options but for starting out you can get a free blog at Googles blogger.com or Wordpress.com. Both are easy to use and set-up to be ready to write about your favorite or any subject.

Wordpress bloggs are very robust and their rules are tight for those who want to use it to blog about how to make money online and place links in the blogs. You can expand wordpress as well. Blogger.com blog is a little easier to deal with and because it is owned by Google may be faster detected on Google’s radar and thus indexed faster something very nice relating to links when you want to make money online.

Wordpress.com, however, is also indexed by Google and other search engines and it has some more advanced features such as Trackbacks and Categories. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later).
