My Guest Posting Experience
I don't even know what's wrong with me. What do you think is wrong with a guy whose site is probably the most promising and fastest growing site online?
I have tried several times to guest post on various site but to no avail. I have tried 2createawebsite, problogger, youngprepro, and the rest they all turned me down.
Infact, I think I should receive an award for having the most turned down guest post in recent times. This is really frustrating for me that I just can't get things right.
What's the reason for turning me down? Well, they complain that my post is too generic, common and found on most blogs. What the heck! I wrote this post with my very own hands and they are purely my idea, so I don't understand what they all mean by being generic!
Although my site is receiving trickles of traffic from search engines and other areas but that isn't what I want, I want something concrete like receiving 1000 visitors a day will be my type of traffic. That's a good start for any ambitious blogger who wants to make a living online!
Sometimes I feel more like a failure already especially for an experienced blogger like me who have been in this game for nothing close to 4 years. When I see young fellow blogger who just came in "yesterday" and all of a sudden have their post get approved in various sites I feel even more disappointed.
When you consider the other methods of pulling in traffic, you'll discover that it's takes longer time. Be it seo, article submission, social bookmarking, etc. They all take time to achieve results.
If you need quick traffic, guest post is a sure way of getting such targetted traffic in a short time. once you are approved and your post is well received by the "populace" on a high traffic site. Bam! Floods of traffic to your site.
Especially for the era that we are in. The era of guest post because everybody is getting crazy about guest post these days even the new blogger are hoping to guest post in order to promote their lactating blogs.
Judging from the influx of bloggers towards these direction, it's more like all road now leads to "guest posting".
All the other known methods of getting traffic is a close chapter for now but I believe very soon guest post will go out of trend. My instinct tells me that!
But I don't want to imagine that for now anyway, What I want is to take full advantage of this moment while it is still the in-thing. Especially when it has to do with getting traffic!
This article is a voice for several thousands of bloggers out there, both young or old, male or female who have tried to venture into guest posting but have failed to actually make a breakthrough!

Making Money Online With Facebook
Facebook is the hotest social networking site online. It gets millions of visitors to its site each day and it is the most visited websites in the world after Google.
When I first joined Facebook I was really amazed to see how many people were marketing their products and services on there!
The primary idea behind Facebook is to add friends and that is displayed in the profile. The reason why some marketers want friends is so that they will have an array of people they can market to, it is kind of like an email list in a way.
Facebook was originally built for the younger audience but as you can see it is evidently changing very rapidly because a lot of the older folks roam around there now.
The concept behind the "friends idea" looked like what is obtainable in high schools or colleges so you have to step outside your normal business state of mind and work at fitting in well.
Ask yourself what do people on Facebook wish? It’s quite simple, all they want is to feel received and to have friends. They are not there to sell anything like products or others whereas they just prefer to have as many friends as possible and to feel good about themselves.
How come do you think people post pictures and ask for comments in return?
They want to feel good about themselves, it makes them feel more reassured and happy which people would cheerfully pay lots of money for but you will be giving it to them free of charge.
Why do you think Americans spend so much money each year on cosmetic surgery? Do they really need it? Of course not, but they want the attention of their peers and surroundings. So, make sure to leave comments for your friends. Be a super cool, but a super helpful friend.
You should not go on Facebook for the sole aim of making money online, put some thought into it first. Facebook is a business enterprise in itself, and you had better spend some time to build this effectively, nothing a software program can do by itself, it needs the human touch.
Facebook is a great learning ground especially about the“sociological” aspects of human beings. I learn new things everytime am on Facebook.
I like to use facebook to gather feedback and understand peoples better because they are in a different frame of mind on there. It is like my own scientific laboratory in a sense.
You have to play by the rules in order make a sale, and it’s usually harder to sell anything on facebook because people are not just in the buying mood but I will be showing you how to make some cool cash from it.
Facebook is a powerful network and it is difficult for anybody to compete with it because of the large quantity of users.
You could add more features to other social networking sites and try to make it better than Facebook the truth is, I doubt if you'll ever overcome this networking giant called Facebook.
You could try to make something better by adding more features and reducing the price but being the first is something that people will not forget quickly.
As it is popularly said "If you can't beat them you join them". This means that if you can not beat a competition you bury your ego and simply join them.
This is exactly what a lot of other social networks have done, they have used Facebook as a fuel to drive on. This is also what we shall be looking at in the next edition of this article trying to make some money from it.
Thanks for reading by the way and have a wonderful and prosperous online career!

Why do you think Americans spend so much money each year on cosmetic surgery? Do they really need it? Of course not, but they want the attention of their peers and surroundings. So, make sure to leave comments for your friends. Be a super cool, but a super helpful friend.
You should not go on Facebook for the sole aim of making money online, put some thought into it first. Facebook is a business enterprise in itself, and you had better spend some time to build this effectively, nothing a software program can do by itself, it needs the human touch.
Facebook is a great learning ground especially about the“sociological” aspects of human beings. I learn new things everytime am on Facebook.
I like to use facebook to gather feedback and understand peoples better because they are in a different frame of mind on there. It is like my own scientific laboratory in a sense.
You have to play by the rules in order make a sale, and it’s usually harder to sell anything on facebook because people are not just in the buying mood but I will be showing you how to make some cool cash from it.
Facebook is a powerful network and it is difficult for anybody to compete with it because of the large quantity of users.
You could add more features to other social networking sites and try to make it better than Facebook the truth is, I doubt if you'll ever overcome this networking giant called Facebook.
You could try to make something better by adding more features and reducing the price but being the first is something that people will not forget quickly.
As it is popularly said "If you can't beat them you join them". This means that if you can not beat a competition you bury your ego and simply join them.
This is exactly what a lot of other social networks have done, they have used Facebook as a fuel to drive on. This is also what we shall be looking at in the next edition of this article trying to make some money from it.
Thanks for reading by the way and have a wonderful and prosperous online career!

What they have experienced in the past and present of their business don't scare them at all because they are always looking for a way to make most of the future. They are not afraid of trying new things and also are not afraid of taking risks.
They would always feel that they are missing out on something if they haven't tried it out. They'd careless whether it would work for them or not because they aren't scared of trying.

They prefer to invest little or nothing on their business why? because they don't like to record losses. Hmm... Has there ever been a business without a loss? All successful businesses that we hear of today has one time or other in their history recorded stupendous losses.
The bottom line is not about recording losses but been able to manage the losses recorded and turning them into long term profits! Afterall life is all about making mistakes{failure} and learning from it.

How to Create a Wordpress Blog For Beginners
We will be looking at steps to set up a wordpress blog;
If you read my last article, you discover at the last paragraph I mentioned something about creating a wordpress blog. Yes that's right! We are going to be creating a wordpress blog for your business. Okay!
Did I hear you ask, Why wordpress blog? Why not blogger or other ones? Well, these are the reasons why;
1. Wordpress offers a very powerful content management system with free funtionality.
2. Wordpress is easy to install as many hosting sites now provide the ability to install wordpress blog just with the single click of a mouse.
3. Managing a wordpress blog is very easy like adding content including text, videos, pictures, etc seem so easy.
4. Wordpress blog are search engine friendly.
So those are the reasons why a wordpress blog is better than the other ones and the preffered choice of so many top internet marketers!
Another thing which I need to talk about here before moving ahead is to tell you that there are two{2} different types of WordPress blog:
1) http://www.wordpress.com(free)
2) http://www.wordpress.org(paid)
1) http://www.wordpress.com can host your site on the internet for free and this is what is often referred to as open source software. This basically means that it is freely available to anyone for use and modify.
The main disadvantage to this is that you get very limited space and customization options and it cannot be monetized. This means that you cannot have any affiliate
advertisements on your blog.
Also, bear in mind that technically, you do not actually own a blog which is hosted by WordPress essentially they own the blog and if your blog is taken down for whatever reason, that's it, everything on your blog will be lost.
2) However, http://www.Wordpress.org provides the software you'll need to create your blog but does not host it for you. For this you will be required to purchase a domain name and host your site on any web hosting service of your choice. This is far more flexible and there are many more options available to you.
If you are a serious internet marketer and are looking to earn a living online, you should really be thinking of getting your own domain name and hosting and that is what we are going to go through in this guide.
Without much ado, let's get started into creating a blog; I'll do my best to make it as easy as possible for you!
I strongly recommend for starters/beginners that you purchase a hosting plan that provides both domain name registration and web-host service together more like a 2-in-1 package instead of having to buy separately. There are so many hosting sites that provides these multiple service on the web like Ipage, by so doing you're avoiding the streinous process of having to buy domain and hosting separately. Cool isn't it?
So when you purchase an Ipage hosting plan, one of the best and reliable hosting sites around they make installing your wordpress blog so! so! easy!!! This helps takes the headache off you.
With Ipage and simple script, installing wordpress has become so easy that even a newbie can do it without any professional assistance at all. I kid you not!
After that, the next thing is to log-in to your hosting account{which has been sent to you upon purchase}, navigate to your control panel and then look for the simple script icon. Double click it, follow some easy setup instructions and woo-lah! You've actually installed your blog and ready to start customization!
However after purchasing the hosting plan an email will be sent to you from them, make sure you keep those information for future purposes. They'll contain informations such as your username, password, name-servers, etc...
The next thing is to start customizing your blog by getting a theme. A theme is a template designed specifically for use to enhance the visual appearance and usability of a blog.
There are free wordpress theme and also premium ones{I mean the one you pay for} depending on your pocket and taste, you might want to go for anyone!
Here are some cool free wordpress themes sites to visit;
www.wordpressthemesbase
www.freewpthemes.net
www.themesplice.com
www.freethemelayouts.com
But if you decide to go for the paid ones{premium}, I strongly recommend thesis theme specifically made for beginners who know little or nothing about HTML or coding, It's the best of all themes.
With thesis customizing your wordpress blog is like eating "pizza" unlike the other themes{free/paid} where in-order to take your blog to the next level you'll need some basic knowledge of HTML or css, but for thesis you absolutely don't need any coding at all. Perfect for beginners! Check out thesis theme now!
Lastly, you'll need to optimize your wordpress blog after you've successfully installed and set up your blog. Search engine optimization is a good way to help getting your blog in front Google and other major search engines.
The good thing is that SEO is one of the free ways of driving huge traffic to your new blog. If you do it right, you'll reap the benefits.
I'll like to touch on some areas regarding the settings of your blog which could be helpful to the SEO of your newly created blog. The settings will done in the dashboard of your wordpress blog once you have logged in. They are as follows;
Step1; Look for the settings tab at the extreme left of the dashboard, click on general. Change the following;
Blog title; This is where you enter your blog title, make sure the blog title is related to your domain name for instance, if your domain name is http://www.fishforsale.com then your title should be "Fish for sale" or "Fish for sale today". Not clear yet? Okay! Look at my blog @ http//:www.makemoneyonline2dy.com, when you compare it with it's title @ "make money online today for beginners" are they not related?
Tagline; This is where you enter your blog description.
Email-address; This is where you enter your email address.
Step2; Look for the writing tab and click it, go straight to the update services section and enter following ping sites;
http://api.feedster.com/ping
http://api.moreover.com/RPC2
http://api.moreover.com/ping
http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2
http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping
http://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2
http://www.blogshares.com/rpc.php
http://www.blogsnow.com/ping
http://www.blogstreet.com/xrbin/xmlrpc.cgi
http://www.bulkfeeds.net/rpc

http://www.ping.feedburner.com
http://www.ping.syndic8.com/xmlrpc.php
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2
These sites will be "pinged" each time you update your blog. They offer pinging services.
Step3; Look for the reading tab and click it, you may want to make the following changes;
Blog pages; Change this to 5.
Syndication feeds; Change this also to 5 and check the summary text button. That's all!
Step4; Look for the discussion tab, below the reading tab and click it. Make the following changes;
Email me whenever; Check the two boxes infront that's if it has not been checked by default already.
Before a comment appears; It is also advicable you check the two boxes infront as well.
Comment moderation; Check this box as well this means that any comment that contain links should be held for moderation. Very important!
Step5; Look for the permalinks tab below and click it, make the following changes;
Select the custom structure setting as against the default one, after you've done that enter the following information into the empty bar; /%postname%/ and click save. That's all there is to it!
If you are patient enough to have read these rather lenghty article to the end. I congratulate you for reading through, forgive me as I wanted it to be more detailed. I hope this series has been helpful to you in your quest to setting your very own wordpress blog!
Creating a wordpress blog is as easy as anything especially if you have a wonderful hosting plan by your side. Just follow these easy steps I have outlined above and you'll be fine!
Do you have any questions regarding this article? or how to set up wordpress blog generally, then post it in the comment section and I'll do my best to reply as quick as possible. See You at the top!
Remember this is a site that's genuinely designed to help beginners make money online today!

1) http://www.wordpress.com can host your site on the internet for free and this is what is often referred to as open source software. This basically means that it is freely available to anyone for use and modify.
The main disadvantage to this is that you get very limited space and customization options and it cannot be monetized. This means that you cannot have any affiliate
advertisements on your blog.
Also, bear in mind that technically, you do not actually own a blog which is hosted by WordPress essentially they own the blog and if your blog is taken down for whatever reason, that's it, everything on your blog will be lost.
2) However, http://www.Wordpress.org provides the software you'll need to create your blog but does not host it for you. For this you will be required to purchase a domain name and host your site on any web hosting service of your choice. This is far more flexible and there are many more options available to you.
If you are a serious internet marketer and are looking to earn a living online, you should really be thinking of getting your own domain name and hosting and that is what we are going to go through in this guide.
Without much ado, let's get started into creating a blog; I'll do my best to make it as easy as possible for you!
I strongly recommend for starters/beginners that you purchase a hosting plan that provides both domain name registration and web-host service together more like a 2-in-1 package instead of having to buy separately. There are so many hosting sites that provides these multiple service on the web like Ipage, by so doing you're avoiding the streinous process of having to buy domain and hosting separately. Cool isn't it?
So when you purchase an Ipage hosting plan, one of the best and reliable hosting sites around they make installing your wordpress blog so! so! easy!!! This helps takes the headache off you.
With Ipage and simple script, installing wordpress has become so easy that even a newbie can do it without any professional assistance at all. I kid you not!
After that, the next thing is to log-in to your hosting account{which has been sent to you upon purchase}, navigate to your control panel and then look for the simple script icon. Double click it, follow some easy setup instructions and woo-lah! You've actually installed your blog and ready to start customization!
However after purchasing the hosting plan an email will be sent to you from them, make sure you keep those information for future purposes. They'll contain informations such as your username, password, name-servers, etc...
The next thing is to start customizing your blog by getting a theme. A theme is a template designed specifically for use to enhance the visual appearance and usability of a blog.
There are free wordpress theme and also premium ones{I mean the one you pay for} depending on your pocket and taste, you might want to go for anyone!
Here are some cool free wordpress themes sites to visit;
www.wordpressthemesbase
www.freewpthemes.net
www.themesplice.com
www.freethemelayouts.com
But if you decide to go for the paid ones{premium}, I strongly recommend thesis theme specifically made for beginners who know little or nothing about HTML or coding, It's the best of all themes.
With thesis customizing your wordpress blog is like eating "pizza" unlike the other themes{free/paid} where in-order to take your blog to the next level you'll need some basic knowledge of HTML or css, but for thesis you absolutely don't need any coding at all. Perfect for beginners! Check out thesis theme now!
Lastly, you'll need to optimize your wordpress blog after you've successfully installed and set up your blog. Search engine optimization is a good way to help getting your blog in front Google and other major search engines.
The good thing is that SEO is one of the free ways of driving huge traffic to your new blog. If you do it right, you'll reap the benefits.
I'll like to touch on some areas regarding the settings of your blog which could be helpful to the SEO of your newly created blog. The settings will done in the dashboard of your wordpress blog once you have logged in. They are as follows;
Step1; Look for the settings tab at the extreme left of the dashboard, click on general. Change the following;
Blog title; This is where you enter your blog title, make sure the blog title is related to your domain name for instance, if your domain name is http://www.fishforsale.com then your title should be "Fish for sale" or "Fish for sale today". Not clear yet? Okay! Look at my blog @ http//:www.makemoneyonline2dy.com, when you compare it with it's title @ "make money online today for beginners" are they not related?
Tagline; This is where you enter your blog description.
Email-address; This is where you enter your email address.
Step2; Look for the writing tab and click it, go straight to the update services section and enter following ping sites;
http://api.feedster.com/ping
http://api.moreover.com/RPC2
http://api.moreover.com/ping
http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2
http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping
http://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2
http://www.blogshares.com/rpc.php
http://www.blogsnow.com/ping
http://www.blogstreet.com/xrbin/xmlrpc.cgi
http://www.bulkfeeds.net/rpc
http://www.newsisfree.com/xmlrpctest.php

http://www.ping.feedburner.com
http://www.ping.syndic8.com/xmlrpc.php
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2
These sites will be "pinged" each time you update your blog. They offer pinging services.
Step3; Look for the reading tab and click it, you may want to make the following changes;
Blog pages; Change this to 5.
Syndication feeds; Change this also to 5 and check the summary text button. That's all!
Step4; Look for the discussion tab, below the reading tab and click it. Make the following changes;
Email me whenever; Check the two boxes infront that's if it has not been checked by default already.
Before a comment appears; It is also advicable you check the two boxes infront as well.
Comment moderation; Check this box as well this means that any comment that contain links should be held for moderation. Very important!
Step5; Look for the permalinks tab below and click it, make the following changes;
Select the custom structure setting as against the default one, after you've done that enter the following information into the empty bar; /%postname%/ and click save. That's all there is to it!
If you are patient enough to have read these rather lenghty article to the end. I congratulate you for reading through, forgive me as I wanted it to be more detailed. I hope this series has been helpful to you in your quest to setting your very own wordpress blog!
Creating a wordpress blog is as easy as anything especially if you have a wonderful hosting plan by your side. Just follow these easy steps I have outlined above and you'll be fine!
Do you have any questions regarding this article? or how to set up wordpress blog generally, then post it in the comment section and I'll do my best to reply as quick as possible. See You at the top!

HOW TO CREATE A BLOG FOR BEGINNERS
Hello friends, I discovered that the most questions on the mind of many beginners is "how do I start my own blog"? as you probably have heard from many marketers that you can only start to talk about making money online when you have a site or blog.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying PTC, Survey, Data-entry, etc are not credible ways of making money online oh-no! but they'll only give you stipends if you know what I mean. The only way {and I stand to be corrected} to make a lump sum of money online is through affiliate marketing and with this you'll need a blog. Get it!
To really make money online, you'll need to own a blog. That's the truth! Most top internet marketers like Lisa Irby, Lynn Terry, Darren Rowse, etc are actually making the bulk of their income from their blogs.
Some of them make close to $50,000 or even more just with their blog every month. Yes! am not kidding, the facts are there as some of them display their monthly income for people to see.
The truth is, if you want quick money to do one or two things survey, PTC, Data-entry is good but if you truly want to make serious money online and quit your day job, you "gotta" get a blog because that's where the money is right now!
Having your own blog might not make you a millionaire overnight but it certainly will fetch you good income on the long-run, "if and only if" you can persevere and put in some considerable amount of work into.
Having a blog gives you the confidence that you own a business already, as you can tell your friends, relatives, associate about it. It also opens so many avenues for your online adventures. It gives you the right to promote other people's products/programs which is what we call affiliate marketing and many other things.
Starting a blog is something you should really be giving a serious consideration right now especially if you're thinking of quiting your day job and working online full-time or even part-time. You'll need a perfect excuse for quiting your day job at least telling your friends, don't waste your time doing surveys that brings peanut that cannot even foot your phone bills!
Bearing this mind, I will love to show you how to create a wordpress blog, so that you can start promoting different affiliate programs available online and be financially independent. Alright!-;)

In the previous editions we have looked at how to choose a niche, set up a blog, writing content, traffic and now today we shall be concluding this blogging series by learning different ways of monetizing a blog.
5. Monetize; There are several ways of monetizing a blog irrespective of it's niche and everyday people come out with different theories and strategies of monetizing a blog but in this article I would like to emphasize on four major areas through which your blog can be turned into a cash pulling "ATM" machine.
1. Google adsense
2. CPA/CPC
3. Affiliate marketing
4. Selling ads space
1. Google adsense; Unarguably one of the easiest ways of making money online today as it is easier to set up and much more rewarding. All you need do, is to sign up for an Google adsense account and within days or weeks you are all setup to start using their services.
Afterwards, you'll be given a code, paste it in a specified place on your blog or even have a programmer do it for you. The next thing is to wait and watch your adsense revenue increase as far as people are clicking those ads! Other substitutes for adsense are the likes of kontera, chitika, infolinks, etc...To learn more in details about Google adsense click here.
2. CPA/CPC; CPA these days are still very much relevant as smart marketers makes cool cash with this programme. One advantage of this programme is that it only takes your blog visitors to perform an action on your blog for you to be paid. They don't do anything only just to click, sign up or perform any other activity and you get paid. This is very much similar to Google adsense! To learn more about CPA/CPC click here.
3. Affiliate marketing; Affiliate marketing has been making waves for a long time now. I can remember that I started with affiliate marketing when I first came online even though I wasn't doing it right.
This is a programme whereby you get a product somewhere from a marketplace{be it digital or physical} and promote it on your blog, anyway it's not that easy but that's just the basic idea of affiliate marketing. To learn more about affiliate marketing click here.

Blogging Tips For Beginners 3
Before we move to todays topic of discussion, I would like to say a few things about setting up a blog. Why am I bordering myself so much on this.
Well because I realized that as a prospective professional blogger you actually need to have basic knowledge of how to set up a blog even if you're not going to need it or you have someone who sets it up for you already.
You must still be able to set up your own blog without the help of anybody, this gives you the option of tweaking it to any extent you want.
The naked truth is, not all hosting sites will help you set up your blog free of charge and if they do they'll probably charge exorbitant fees which you might not be able to afford.
So first thing you need to do in order to set up a blog will be;
1. Purchase a hosting service from an hosting sites, it's better you purchase 1 year and above hosting service than monthly because the longer the years the better. Some of the sites always provide free 1 year domain name when you buy an hosting service from them.
2. Once you purchase a hosting plan, I'll use Ipage for instance because I use Ipage and they've made it so easy to install the wordpress plugin. You'll be given an account which comes with a password and username. Login with the password and username and inside your account, Look for the wordpress icon double click on it and follow some other simple steps. Simple!
3. The next thing you want to do is get a good theme whether free or premium doesn't matter as far as it is classy!
Getting a quality theme for your blog is not something you should underestimate as a blog with a great theme actually suggest that you are a professional blogger. It's gives your readers the impression that you actually know what you're doing.
The internet especially blogging is too competitive these days as there are so many established blogs as yours in the same niche. So you've got to be at your game, although something quite simple is okay but at least add some style to it!
It's always good if you have a cool theme you can tweak anytime like the background, colours, text, text-font, sidebars, header, etc without ever being a programmer or learning html at all! Fantastic isn't it?
That's not all, this theme also has powerful inbuilt Seo features. It's gives you the opportunity of optimizing all the post and pages on your blog for search engine exposure.
That theme is called "thesis". A brilliant work of Chris Pearson. Go get yours now!
Now your blog is all set up! Time to go and get traffic, just as it is commonly said that "a site without traffic is a site without life". You need to bring in life to your blog that's your readers, they are the "lifeline" of any site. They determine the success of your blogging career!
4. Traffic; Although I wouldn't want to discuss in details as there are so many ways of getting free traffic these days, all I'll do is list all the traffic opportunities that I can remember. They are;
i. Seo
ii. Submit articles to article directories
iii. Guest-posting
iv. Posting Comments
v. Press release
vi. Podcasting
vii. Rss feeds

Blogging Tips For Beginners 2
Previously we have learnt how choosing a particular niche of interest is what works best for any blogger and not just choosing a niche because other people are going for it or because there is a lot of money in it.
Most guys who have become successful today like Darren Rowse, Lisa Irby, etc are those people who see blogging not as quick money making scheme but as a way of expressing their feeling for something they are truly passionate about like sports, religion, politics, money making, photography, etc.
So you will be doing yourself a lot of harm if you are going for blogging because of the money and not for the interest you have in it. I tell you making money with blogging is not an easy meal as it could take a long time{most of the time years} to start reaping the "fruit of your labour", during this time you'll need a lot of enthusiasm to actually pull through!
We also learnt that setting up a blog is a good way of ushering in the journey of your blogging experience. Having a good blog is an understatement but having a successful blog just fits right in.
How can you have a successful blog? A successful blog in my opinion is a blog that has all the right attributes needed for success.
A successful blog must possess the following attributes;
i. A good theme or template.
ii. A well organized navigation bar which is easily accessible.
iii. A good blog must have its own domain name like .com, org, net, etc.
iv. A good blog must have it's own hosting service{not free hosting} and there are so many of them around with different hosting packages. Anyway, when it has to do with a reliable hosting service Ipage still offers the best at very affordable rates.
Setting up a blog is not difficult at all as there several hosting sites that will help you set up your blog in no time and at no extra cost! You can even set it up yourself within the hosting account given to you, all you need do is just install the wordpress blogging platform and "you are good to go".
Take note; All hosting sites that I know make use of wordpress and not blogger even though these two are the most popular blogging platform but you'll discover that all hosting sites still prefer wordpress to blogger, why? because wordpress has lots of functions which blogger doesn't have. This makes it the number one!
Now let's move to the topic of discussion which is;
3. Content; It is often said that "content is king", well this is so true in the sense of it. One of the key factors to having a successful blog is to publish not just a content but a regularly updated fresh and unique content. Most successful blogs you see around have one thing in common and that is "fresh and unique content".
They make sure their blog is regularly updated with fresh and unique articles and they also make sure their articles are not just seen scattered everywhere around the web.
Am not saying they can't write and submit to article directories for traffic and other reasons but what I mean is that they would write their articles solely for their esteemed readers!
As a professional blogger, you need something unique that makes you stand out from the crowd. An article that is neither seen in Mr As nor Mr Bs blog, this makes your readers want to "kill for your blog" and I bet it they would always come for more by visiting your site regularly.

Blogging Tips For Beginners 1
Today we shall be looking at the art of blogging, let me start by defining a blog; What is a blog? A blog formerly called weblog is simply an online journal or an online version of writing newspaper.
People blog for various reasons, maybe because they like to write or feels they have something within them they want to share with the outside world!
Now what is blogging? Blogging is the act of writing in an online way, writing about what? writing on a particular subject of interest like politics, sports, religion, internet marketing, etc...
Getting started with blogging: There are however some very important guidelines to be considered when delving into blogging. These guidelines need to be painstakingly followed if one must be a successful blogger. They are;
1. Choosing a niche
2. Setting up a blog
3. Content
4. Drive traffic
5. Monetize
1. Choosing a niche; Before setting up a blog you need to do what we call research on what best interest you. Ask within yourself "what do I really like doing during my leisure?"
To be a successful blogger, you need to be an expert in an area that is people must respect you for what you do on that particular field. Take for instance, you want to focus on "money making" which is a very popular niche. People must be able to look up to you for a professional advice as far "money making" is concerned.
In this case you must choose a niche that really catches your fancy, that is a field that you are more familiar with. It's not a good idea to go for a niche that you don't know too well or that you don't know at all!
Most beginners make mistakes of following what others are doing in a niche, just because money is being made in a particular niche doesn't mean you'll make money there! Your interest or passion should be first and money last. That's the ultimate!
This is really bad because at the end of the day, they end up struggling in such niche and making success becomes almost impossible.
So, my advice is make sure you think it through before making a choice as regards your niche because your online success actually depends on it!
2. Setting up a blog; Setting up a blog is also very vital as the success of your online endeavours depends on it. At this stage you need to garner all ICT knowledge possible! This is also the stage you decide which blogging platform is actually the best for you and your niche.
There are however two most popular blogging platforms; You are either using wordpress or blogger, anyone you choose is "good to go" for your blogging experience.
In terms of simplicity blogger is the best but in terms of sophistication wordpress is unarguably the better off.
Blogger has very simple features such that a newbie can operate while wordpress has more advanced features that adds that professional touch to a blog especially with the additions of plugins.
From experience, I tell you straight away without prejudice that as far as professional blogging is concerned wordpress is still the best option although blogger has it's own fair share of advantages but I believe blogger won't give that professional "razmatazz" when compared to wordpress.

Take for instance, you want to focus on "money making" which is a very popular niche. People must be able to look up to you for a professional advice as far "money making" is concerned.
In this case you must choose a niche that really catches your fancy, that is a field that you are more familiar with. It's not a good idea to go for a niche that you don't know too well or that you don't know at all!
Most beginners make mistakes of following what others are doing in a niche, just because money is being made in a particular niche doesn't mean you'll make money there! Your interest or passion should be first and money last. That's the ultimate!
This is really bad because at the end of the day, they end up struggling in such niche and making success becomes almost impossible.
So, my advice is make sure you think it through before making a choice as regards your niche because your online success actually depends on it!
2. Setting up a blog; Setting up a blog is also very vital as the success of your online endeavours depends on it. At this stage you need to garner all ICT knowledge possible! This is also the stage you decide which blogging platform is actually the best for you and your niche.
There are however two most popular blogging platforms; You are either using wordpress or blogger, anyone you choose is "good to go" for your blogging experience.
In terms of simplicity blogger is the best but in terms of sophistication wordpress is unarguably the better off.
Blogger has very simple features such that a newbie can operate while wordpress has more advanced features that adds that professional touch to a blog especially with the additions of plugins.
From experience, I tell you straight away without prejudice that as far as professional blogging is concerned wordpress is still the best option although blogger has it's own fair share of advantages but I believe blogger won't give that professional "razmatazz" when compared to wordpress.

My Experience as a Beginner!
If I tell you what I went through before actually finding my footing online you'll pity my situation even though I don't want you to pity my status but I want you to learn "one or two" things from what I went through. Here is my story!
I got to know about internet marketing in 2006{ that's five years ago now} when I attended a forex seminar in my country{Nigeria} which I later jettisoned due to lack of funds because hey! you'll need huge capital to do forex trading.
So I abandoned that, I was going to the cybercafe{that's the Nigerian language for internet browsing centers} frequently to check mails and majorly chat with friends. You know! Everybody likes chatting especially youths that's why facebook is hottest right now!
Then I got to know about an advertising program that supposedly pays me what you'll refer to as "peanuts" for clicking on some ads{this is called PTC/PTR} but there's this particular PTC site called link2communion that captivated me then, it says "make $2800 for clicking on ads" Wow!
So I looked at it and said to myself "This must be a quick way to make money online" and I went for it and was burned, I got burnt in the sense that I lost my hard earned $20 due to my ignorance as a beginner. unknowningly to me this was actually one out of the numerous scam site online!
Later on I went into other areas like surveys, payperpost, cpa, affiliate marketing, data entry, and the likes. There's no aspect of internet marketing have not tested.
I have tried it all but none have given me financial independence! Why? because I wasn't doing the right thing as I am always looking for quicker ways to make money online. Typical of a beginner who believes money fly around online like leaves falling from a tree.
I remember when I was trying out affiliate marketing then, I would search for any product{whether low quality or not}, get the affiliate link and start promoting just like that!
Telling people to buy! buy! buy! and at the end of the day nobody would even look at what am selling twice. Why are people not buying because I was "hard selling" but of course I didn't know this as a beginner and had no one to tell me!
Later on, I discovered "blogging" through wordpress, then I created a back pain blog with it which was doing fine but was not giving me the kind of money I had expected because I was impatient and greedy so I drop it.
Much later I discovered Google's blogger as well! In less than few days I had learned to use the interface due to it's simplicity.
I created several blogs with it on various topics but there's these particular one that I maintained even up till now the blog still exists, it was on back pain. I called it www.backspains.blogspot.com a very informative blog on back pain that educate the minds of the average back pain sufferer.
Presently, I have a hosted blog and the major driving force behind it was to help beginners coming in online because I discovered of all the blogs and websites we have online there is no one that is centered around new enterprenuers.
The truth is online "nobody wants to assist anybody", that's the mentality people has, everyone wants to make money at the expense of the other person. Just like the saying goes "every man for himself and God for us all".
So if you are a beginner online and hoping to find your footing, the first thing you want to do is get information by reading anything from books to articles to newsletters, blogs, etc because information is power. So that you don't fall into wrongs hands who will take advantage of your innocence.
Have a Fulfilled online career ahead!

Overview
Making money online is not for the lazy folks who believe that the internet is a get rich quick scheme; it is for the calculated, patient, determined, resilient minded folks who know that making money online is just as tasking as the ordinary day to day job.
Speaking of patience, this is a quality a guy who wants to make money online must possess. Ability to stay calm, watch and wait mentality for the tree of hard labor to start germinating before even bringing out fruits.
Most people coming online don't have these qualities and that is why they fail woefully online. I mean fail to make a dime or reasonable money at all.
They are coming in online, for the wrong reasons:
Frustration from harsh economics conditions.
Inability to cope with their 7am-6pm day job.
An untimely/unplanned retirement.
An unexpected sack from work.
Family constraint.
These make them absolutely impatient online. If possible they just want to make money almost immediately they are online but we all know things can just happen like that!
People of these category are in a world of fairy tales, (like what we watch in the cartoons and movies) where wishes come to past every now and then!
This is reality guys! There is no such thing as fairy tales and there is no such thing as free money in the real world! If some guy has been fooling you that money fall from trees online, i mean on the internet, it’s a lie! A big lie at that!!
There is no two way to it, hard work is the only way to make money online and you need patience along with it. Lots of patience, end of story!!!
