Here are EASY steps we’ll take together to help you start a blog and make money online.
Are you curious about how to make money online? Think that starting a blog is the way to go?
Great! Starting a blog can be a solid way to make long-term income –
just for doing some writing on stuff you actually like and care about.
But there’s a little more to it than that AND it may not be for
everyone. This is not a get rich quick or plug and play business. If
that’s what you’re looking for, this is not the place for you.
Yes,
you can make a lot of money online but, like other traditional
businesses, it’s not guaranteed. Anyone who tells you otherwise, is not
being truthful.
Our goal is to help people who are really serious about building a
real online business – because you can make a little, or a lot of money.
That all depends on you…
Here’s the big difference between making money online and going to a
job every day. If you do it right, the work you do today, this week, and
this year – will continue making money for years to come. It’s an
investment rather than trading your time for money.
So how does this work? Search engines find and cache the articles
that you write, and over time each post is “worth more” to the search
engines. That means you’ll get more web site traffic with every passing
month as your site gains credibility. This does not happen overnight. It
takes persistence and even some hard work – but you can do it if you’re
serious and committed…
We did it (Dan and I both walked away from our corporate jobs and now
do this full time), and so can you. The good news is that you get to
take advantage of what we’ve learned over the last several years and
avoid the sand traps that we had to dig our way out of.
So let’s get started – RIGHT NOW!
Decide To Start Today
TODAY. No, not tomorrow, not next week, and not next month. Tomorrow
always feels “safe” because you’re not having to make a decision. The
power of today is that you make that commitment to yourself. And that is
the first step to success.
This step is the most critical one, and it’s where most people get
stuck. Don’t dream about doing something. Just get up and do it.

best way to live the life of your dreams is to start living the life of
your dreams Today, in every little way that you possibly can.” – Mike

Step #1. Create Your New Blog
The first thing you need to do is find a home for your new blog. This
is where your blog will live. It’s where you’ll write, publish, and
manage your blog posts (or articles). It’s where you’ll decorate and
personalize your blog.
Don’t make the critical mistake of confusing an old-school web host
for a blog host. If you get a web host, that’s like buying the shell of a
house – you’re going to have to build all the walls and install the
plumbing yourself!
Be smart and go with a
full service blog host like BlogPress
where someone else manages all the techie stuff so that you can focus
on blogging. BlogPress provides a “well-built and excellently maintained
home” for your blog so that you can focus on blogging without having to
worry about all the techie stuff that comes with managing servers and
databases.
