Blogs are one of the easiest ways to earn money online.  As long as they are successful and properly promoted.  As of this moment, I am attempting to not only keep up with this blog but also develop a blog in a different niche.  It has been a very interesting time developing the new website because it is far more professional then the current one so it is taking a longer time.  Once I finish it, I will post the link here.

Overview:

Blogs are a very good way to make income on the internet.  They allow for a user to post about a variety of different topics regardless of their views.  There are many ways to monetize a blog from affiliate advertising to programs such as google AdSense.  Regardless of the method used, blogs that have quality content are bound to make money.

My Experience:

For me I have had a very hard time making this particular blog into a success.  Their are a variety of reasons but the most difficult is that no matter how I advertise/link people, my blog looks like a spam site.  This makes people very cautious of clicking onto a link to this blog and I thank you, random internet user, for actually visiting and reading what I have to say.  Anyways, I decided that I would start a new website while maintaining this one for the fun of it.  There are many steps involved before diving head first into a new website.  Check the strategies for success for a good list of what you should do before opening a new website.  On this new website, I will be able to write a ton of content that interests me greatly and even relates to my major.  I used host gator because I found a good coupon from a friend and was able to get a fairly good deal.  There is a coupon code for 25% off web hosting and just click the link to become a referral of mine.  Also another good website like host gator is called name cheap, check both out before deciding on where to buy from.  Once I bought my websites domain and secured web hosting, I began to write content and set it up how I like it.  In a little while I will complete the rest of this article with a link to my other site and the more personal in depth process I took in creating it.
