If you have a budget that is very small or zero, blogging is a great way to get started making money online.

What is a blog? A blog is a simple web page that anyone can set up in minutes. People use them as journals, diaries, and sales pages, like you will learn to do here.

Blogging has become very popular lately. For one thing, its free. For another, you dont need to have any technical skills what so ever to get started. If you can read and write, you can blog.

A good working definition of a blog is simply a journal or newsletter that is frequently updated and intended for the timely reading. It often provides opportunities for unfiltered and immediate feedback, sports an informal or even partisan attitude, and is written in a more personal style than traditional press outlets.

A blog is sometimes called web log or weblog. It is a type if online journal or diary, often including personal comments as well as web links and images. Many people keep a blog as a type of personal creative exercise, but you can easily use this popular online type of writing to market your business. Blogs are very popular right now and they can be a great and inexpensive way to contact more customers.

Blogs come in all shapes and subjects, from the maunderings of troubled teen souls to displays of classical photography to breaking news and commentary. They can be online journals, locked with a password shared by a few trusted friends, or they can be page after page of source code, sharing useful and free computer programs with the world.

A blog may be an online journal tangential to a companys main business, where users of a companys products give feedback and ask for help. Blogs can be hosted by single individuals, shared by teams, or produced by entire companies. They may be hosted on a dedicated blog server using fancy templates or lovingly hand-crafted in HTML on a page that resembles a bulletin board.

But a blog is not simply a syndicated column or a newspaper that is online. Many news outlets feature their content online and even allow readers to respond to stories. However, the newspapers business does not change just because it has a new medium. Editors and writers still do the same jobs they did before the advent of online distribution; the

newspaper does not view itself as any different from what it always was.

Blogging is one of the most effective means of Internet-based communication because it is relatively easy and requires little time investment. Using a Blogging interface like Wordpress or Google's Blogger, a blog owner can add new entries to his blog while he sits in a meeting at work or watches events unfold on TV. Rather than fooling around with messy code, he can simply enter his message textually in his blog; and then update it in a matter of seconds. Basically a blog contains these features:

Title- which allows you to label your post Body- this is the content of your post

Trackback- other sites can be linked back to your blog Permanent link- every article that you write has a URL Comments- this allow readers to post comments on your blog.

One of the advantages of blogging, is that it is made of only a few templates. Unlike, other websites that is made up of numerous individual pages. This make it easier for blog users to create new pages, because it already has a fix setting that include: slots for title, body of the post, category, etc.

A Blog for profit is made up of three major components: a supplier, buyers, and the products for sale. But a blog in many cases differs from the average business because you are bringing together two sets of customers and delivering two sets of products. And youre not even selling the main item you produce.

Sound confusing? Its really not. Lets take a look at the component parts and illustrate just how simple it is.

The first component is a supplier. Thats you. It is your words, your opinion, your research, and your art which can bring thousands or even millions of readers to your blog. You will be the attraction, the broker,

and the CEO of your business. If it werent for you, the blog wouldnt exist. Because of who you are, what you know, and what you do, it can thrive.

The second component is a buyer, a customer. While the vast majority of your customers will be your readers, other customers will include companies that pay you to feature their links and advertisements on your blog. Traffic (those millions of readers out there who care about what you say) is the lifeline of your site: youve got to find them and bring them in. Once they are there, your advertising customers will pay for access to your reading customers, and your reading customers will pay for your information and merchandise.

The final component is a product. Like all businesses, yours cant exist without a product to sell. But what do you sell when youre giving your opinion away for free on a blog?

The first product you sell is yourself: your opinions and your expertise. Without selling yourself to your readers, you will have no customers.

They may not always pay you directly (though well see that in many cases, they will) but if they dont buy what youre saying, they will not buy anything else.

The second product you sell is your space. You lease it to advertisers who will pay you to put information in front of your millions and millions of readers. Whether text links or flashing popup banner ads, your advertisers will pay you for a small part of your readers attention.

The final product you sell is your merchandise. With a properly-branded name and a reputation for excellence, your readers will purchase coffee mugs, t-shirts, bumper stickersanything you can imagine.

In order to make your blog a powerful marketing tool, you need to get your customers and clients to see it. That means that you will need to advertise and provide content that gets attention:

Make your blog visually exciting. Choose an attractive background color and provide photos or images. Consider sound.Develop your blog as you would a web site, with the same visual appeal. Some bloggers even add video and sound to their blogs. There is no need to spend many hours composing art works, but know that simple text on a white background may simply not draw as many readers as you like.

Make sure that your customers know that your blog exists.
