Hey Everyone.
As the title says, I don't know blogging. I see many people earning well from their blog. Even I wish the same. But why is that I couldn't blog??
My problem is that I just couldn't think of any topic in which I can make some frequent updates. I just have one blog which describes about my online earning. As you all know, we can't update that frequently. Only if we find something new, we can update.
Is blogging a talent or just a thing that everyone can do??

Hi vid, I was at one stage where you are. I didn't understand about this blogging thing and the lady that I worked with I am responsible for her Website and Blog but I just do the things she told me to do. Then one day she told me to start a blog. I told her I don't know anything about it. She says Do you have something you are passionate about. She I know what you are passionate about and so I am encouraging you to have one starting with that. I have started doing it. I write about my illness and I have been getting good traffic so far. My encouragement to you is to write about something that you are passionate about. Don't just blog because of money do it because you like the things that you are writing about.
It can be one of encouragement. It can be a review blog etc. I have not gotten to the point of Blog Payment as yet. I am to work on this area for her blogs and website. For my blog I just want to encourage persons who are having low self esteem with my illness. This is my blog site you can look at it and get an idea. ksurrina.wordpress.com.
Happy holidays

Yes I am glad that I have overcome the depression. Thanks for visiting. I am hoping that persons who are struggling with lack of self esteem will be able to see that there is life after being diagnose with this disease.

I've been blogging for almost three years and i'm pretty satisfied with the earnings.. you need to have a blog in order to accept blog opportunities.. you can start off by using a free blogger account but it's best if you have your own domain name.. you can use your blog as your online diary or think of a great topic (ie, technology, fashion, etc)..

I just don't have good knowledge in writing about those. Probably I would start off with a blogspot blooger itself and I will just start writing my personal issues. Atleast then I may get some good idea of how blogging works. Lol. Happy to have your response. Happy mylotting.

Everyone are just saying that we have to first find out our interest. Only after knowing that we can start making blogs. Otherwise we will stop in between. Lol. So find it out and then there are so many people to help us.

EVERYONE can do it. There are so many sites on the internet that offer ideas and topics for every type of background and person. It helps to get the wheels spinning in your brain.
I had never blogged until August, and that was merely personal things about life. I am now an active "Niche Blogger". The founder has developed a plan for people like you and me and even the experienced bloggers, explaining EVERYTHING in such simple terms. She tells you how to buy a domain, how to host and how to build your OWN website, not a blogger, but a certified website.
She then goes into Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and then on to monetizing, where you can earn money from your blog. Which is the whole idea behind Niche Blogging. EARNING MONEY. It is a passive income, not a get quick rich scheme.
It costs a mere $15.00 or so per month for the Blogging site, which is broken down into days of the month. There aren't too many members, which allows Amy to give personal guidance. The reason there aren't many members is because it was only founded mid 2008 and is still growing. And once you have the basics and have completed the course, you can remain and communicate with other members through the forum.
She makes approximately $5,000.00 a month, at least on her blog(s). Once you get the hang of it and write consistently, you will have 5 or 6 within 6 months. I now have two that I am working on.
Send me a PM if you want more information. In closing, I want you to know, that if I can do it, so can you.
Yours,
Sue

I don't think I can spend for that now. I might think about that later. Now I will just give a try by myself and get an idea of how blogs work and how to earn. Then I will consider your offer. Happy to have your response. Happy mylotting.

Definitely not talent, I'm not familar with blog when I first start it. After a few month of blogging and I learned a lot and get used to it now. First, ask yourself about what you like or your favourite, or you can simply blog about your personal life, what you do everyday or any special thing happen in your life or anything else. Blog is a very flexible place for you to express your feeling.
If you're serious in blogging and want to make money with it, that's another case. You have to look for specific topic and only concentrate on the topic, that's not personal life anymore. This doesn't require talent also, let's say you pick a topic about Food blog, simply take the photo for food that you had eaten b4 and simply write some review for it, that's simply and it's one of the niche also.
There is still a lot of thing to learn in blogging, If you still not sure about it, let me know if you need my help. =)

Haha. I just downloaded the template and made some posts in that. I couldn't make more posts. I am not able to actually update frequently with the Online Earning blog. Only if we find some good way of earning we can post it right?? So I have decided to start a personal blog. Probably will start it once I just have a look at some other personal blogs. Lol.
