Blogging is not a get rich quick scheme. What I have found is use blogs as a primary way to share a passion in getting quality content onto the web. 

It has to be a passion on your part because in order to make it a money maker it needs persistence, enthusiasm and dedication. There are exceptions to this, if you’re a well known celebrity for instance. Other than that it may take time and a lot of work to become known and followed.                                                

So here are my 5 blog beginners guide money making tips:

1. To successfully monetize your blog you have to make it a living personality that grows, communicates and interacts with your visitors. Make it a one stop resource centre that supplies as many benefits as possible. Always be on the lookout for new ideas, entertainment, information or resources for your prospects. Frequent forums within your blogosphere to find out what people want in order to know what to provide.

2. Find affiliates within your niche that you can partner with by promoting their products. For every sale made coming from you earns a commission. Two well known sites that offer digital products such as information eBooks and computer soft ware are: Clickbank at www.clickbank.com,  and  www.paydotcom.com.

3. Put Google adsence on your blog. All it is, is a code that you sign up for from Google to add in your WordPress wigget area. This scans your blog for appropriate  products related to your blog content to promote. Every click earns you a commission.

4. Sign up with www.Amazon.com or www.Ebay.comto promote their physical products as a partner, for a small commission of course. Amazon has a number of promotions to choose from that you can add to your blog, all very easy to set up. With Ebay choose a product, write a review and promote that affiliate link.

5. Create your own product such as an ebook, using PLR products, audio Mp3 file or instructional video. Sign up with Paypal for example, set up a payment button to install on your site to take any payments for you.

Most of these affiliate sites have training videos helping you set up. If you get stuck do a web search, there is stacks of free training, especially on Youtube for you. Other wise leave a comment below and tell me what is on your mind. If I can be of help I’ll do what I can in helping you make money on your blog.

We all have to start from some where. The decisions we make at the start as a newbie may have a huge influence on the final out come.

For most of us getting our toe into the water is the easy part. Making the decision to dive in and swim is another. We could be afraid because we do not know how to swim or may feel that the water is too crowded?
If you want to learn to swim, getting in the shallow end would be best to gain confidence. A few people once in the water decide that this is not for them and never swim again, others just love it and have great fun enjoying the experience. A swimmer may find a certain style that they are good at, they focus on that discipline to go on to be Olympic super stars and win gold. No one for sure knows how it will all pan out, surffice to say all the champions  work and train very hard perfecting and honing their skills. They need persistence, dedication, determination and resolve to do well.

For the blogger signing up to Google Blogger for a free Blogger.com or a WordPress.com blog would be an easy learning to swim way of starting. The instructions are very simple to follow and in no time you could be on your way blogging. This is where you learn by trying different styles to see what suits you best. Remember the true saying “Incorrect action is better than no action to find your style”.
To become a blogging super star though, this is not the pool to be swimming in, so do not stay too long here.

These “newbie” free sites are definitely the easy way to learn but do have many draw backs for the long term blogger. 
1. The site does not belong to you so would be difficult to sell at a later stage.
2. You have little control and if the site closed down, all the hard work put into your blog could be lost.
3. It takes time to build your blog name, to make it something special but it will still look amateurish.
4. Your hosts may want to put advertising on your site and capitalise on your hard work.

In the long run and if you want to be a serious blogger the best advice would be to decide on your blogging topic, think carefully about a short catchy domain name and register it for your self.                                    

1. This name becomes your personal possession.
2. You will have complete control over everything from choosing your web host, developing the site, adding advertising and content, right through to selling it if you want. Just look what the name Google means today.
3. Having your own domain name will also give a feel of professionalism to your blog.

To help you set up your own blog, a membership site I recommend is the one that helped me get this one going. Your first months membership cost I think is $1. Try it out and see how easy it is to follow from step by simple step video instruction. If you do not like what you see- cancel your subscription.                         

If you are any thing like my there is so much to learn you will get stuck in to never look back at your amateur blog status. Newbie List Building Club.
