Definite Guide to Making Money by Blogging!

OK, I've seen lots of threads from people asking about how to do this, so I thought I'd do a long post about it. First of all, you need to set up a blog. I use Blogger, which is owned by Google - it's free and they don't have any restrictions on what type of ads you put on it. http://www.blogger.com/ Next, start writing content and building traffic. One way to build traffic is to post in blogger forums with your blog URL in your signature. See the following post for a list of forums to try: http://teatreemoney.blogspot.com/2007/08/forums-for-bloggers.html You will want to monitor your traffic and see where it is coming from. The best tool to use is Google Analytics (which is free). see the following for a description of what it does and link: http://teatreemoney.blogspot.com/2007/08/google-analytics.html You can then start putting ads on your blog. Try Text-link ads: http://tinyurl.com/33kr2v or for UK bloggers, Matched.co,uk: http://teatreemoney.blogspot.com/2007/09/matchedcouk.html or you can try Auction ads: http://teatreemoney.blogspot.com/2007/05/auction-ads.html You can also do sponsored blogging - see the following post for a list: http://teatreemoney.blogspot.com/2007/08/guide-to-world-of-sponsored-blog-posts.html Text-link ads and sponsored posting depend on your Alexa rating. See the following post on how to improve it: http://teatreemoney.blogspot.com/2007/05/improving-your-alexa-rating.html I think that's everything. Can anyone think of anything else?
