Making money online is something that many people have attempted and failed because of not being consistent with managing their online business and their lack of knowledge. To profit online, you need to have a blueprint to guide you. One of the first things that you need to have is a blog. A blog is like a study guide. You have the main book, which is your web page and it comes with a study guide, which is your blog. Do you get the picture?

A blog is important because it will have a link to your main web page and it will let the audience know that you care enough not to just put up a sales page, but to take time to write and provide important information for free on their behalf.

When you are promoting a product and want to make money, your first thought should be about the prospect and what benefits your product will provide. The sales page will list those benefits, but because it is a sales promotion, your prospect will not get to know the person behind the product. A blog provides the prospect with what a sales page would never do.

Having a niche

Your blog should promote a niche product. For example, if you have done your keyword research and found what people are looking for, you can create a product or promote an affiliate product that targets those search results. Your blog should compliment your sales page as well. You should have a link to your blog on the sales page and a link to your sales page on your blog.

Show that you are an expert in that niche by writing valuable content that gives the reader information that cannot be found elsewhere or would take extensive research to find. Dominate your niche by writing articles and submitting them to article directories.

If you are promoting a product to show people how to make money online, then this should remain your niche and people that want to make money online will flock to your blog to find out what is the next best "money maker."

Free and paid blogs

Wordpress.com and blogger.com are two of the most prominent blog platforms online. Many top online earners used this platform to start out and nothing is wrong with that. However, if you are serious about doing business online, you need a paid blog, which means that you will have your own blog domain name instead of a free wordpress blog URL that may read http://makemoneyonlinetoday.wordpress.com. Instead, you would have your very own blog URL that reads http://makemoneyonlinetoday.com.

Creating a blog is one thing, but making money from blogging is another thing. It is not even an issue of how to blog, but how to do it consistently to make money. If you really want to learn the "nitty gritty" of how to make an income using your blog, click on this link to find out.
