Thanks to the advent of Web 2.0, you can make money without ever spending any money. How can this be?

You can use any number of thousands of free blog sites that allow you to build a blog and insert your own monetizing system to make money online. Or if you are a little more tech savvy, you can choose from the literally thousands of free hosts.

While the blogs are the best choice as most of them only have you advertisement and not their own. Free hosts include their own advertising that will always sit on top of your site.

With a blog you are limited to what you can do by the amount of XML that you know. Your ability to modify the XML code of a blog, will determine how much use you can get out of a blog. While if you choose a free host, you can do it in HTML and enjoy a lot more freedom that is also easier.

What you choose is obviously up to you. I would personally go with the blogs sine they get indexed faster. But then again it is up to preference. A blog can allow you to create thousands of pages with ease, while a free host allows you the ease of an almost full control of the look and feel of your site.

Using these resources will allow you to make money without ever having to spend a dime. You just have to work hard no matter what you choose.

MySpace has over 150 million blogs and is the 6th largest social network in the world. This is what make MySpace the ultimate tool for not only traffic, but some monetizing to.

With MySpace you have to be careful, and it takes some time, but if you blog, and keep it interesting as well as include some great photos; you can have “friends” join your circle. These “friends” will create links from their blog to yours, which in turn goes to your website. Some of these friends may even have links from websites going to their MySpace.

It is a vicious cycle which when used correctly can not only increase your website’s traffic, but also your pagerank. There are many neat widgets that you can add to MySpace. If you have a large enough community of friends, you can even invite them to check out a new website venture, where you can receive direct criticism from your potential clients.

All this equals out to traffic and an increased rankings. MySpace is a fully functional blog, but if you are looking to build a community without using MySpace, there are some great sites, like IBlog which can help you create a community of fans around the world without the need of MySpace. It is ultimately up to you.

In an ever increasing effort to rid the internet of SPAM, the search engines are changing to lots of high quality content. That is why a blog can get indexed 5 times faster than a web site. All major websites have their own blog now. A blog creates many pages of high quality yet useful information for the internet surfer.

A good blog can not only bring in traffic, but if the visitors like the blog enough, they will simply visit the website, and see who exactly is making the interesting blog.

You do not have to use a blog that is integrated into the website; you can use a sub domain. As long as it is linked like it is part of the site, it will be included in the search engine results as part of the site.

Use your blog, no matter where you put it as a necessary tool to increase traffic to your website. Just like the numbers game to get clicks on an Ad on your blog, you can use the same numbers game to get the blog’s visitors to go to the website itself.

Make you blog interesting and on the same topic as your site. This means that you cannot have a blog on dogs, when your site is about car tools. Always keep it simple. No one can find their way if you have too much stuff on your blog, everything should be simple, from navigation to transitions from the blog to the website.

A lot of people ask what a Super Affiliate is. You can be just another affiliate and think about nothing but the paycheck, which of course will hurt your site’s potential as it gets loaded up with more advertisements then content. Or you can think like a Super Affiliate, who will do everything the same way, except they constantly work on their site. They improve it daily. For a Super Affiliate, it is not just another paycheck, it is an entire career.

You have to constantly be creative with your site. Do not copy what everyone else is doing. This will only lead to you splitting the site’s potential with them. Think out side of the box and you will see a better return.

Learn all the hard stuff. If it is easy to find and costs way too much, then in most cases it is worthless. A Super Affiliate is not just a webmaster; they are an entire sales department all in one head, who are constantly looking for that next edge. Give something away free when someone buys something from your site. It may cost you money, but in sales sometimes it is the $0.05 pen that will get you that next big sale.

Follow up on your orders. Contact the person directly to make sure that they enjoyed their purchase on your site. This will keep them coming back since most websites lack that personal touch.

Be open about your products. An informed person is more likely to buy from you than the other site who offers them nothing. Sales don’t just happen. If they do, then everyone would be rich on the internet. You will have to strategize your next move as well as analyze all your previous sales. You will learn that you cannot just sell anything; you have to sell what the consumer wants.

Go for the traffic, the more the better. It is a percentages game. The more visitors, the more chances of making a sale.

Affiliate programs are a great way to make money from any site. One of the better affiliate programs is Amazon.Com. While most affiliates charge some small fee to sign up and then pay out an even smaller amount. With Amazon, you have a better chance of making money since their payouts as an affiliate are just plainly better, and free as well.

You can simply go to Amazon and click on their Join Associates link at the bottom of their page. You will then need to create a Build-A-Link bookmark so that you can ad the appropriate Amazon product latter to the page it belongs to.

Find the product that you want to review on the Amazon site and locate its ASIN or ISBN. From here you can then write your review on that particular product and end up with an image and a link to Amazon where the reader can buy this product.

There is obviously a little more to the Amazon Affiliate program, but there are many easy to understand manuals available through their site.

Now you may not make a lot, only 5%, but if you figure the report is on a $50 book, then you can then work out the math to the effect that one affiliate purchase can mean a higher payout than your average click through.

This does not mean get rid of AdSense. Keep your AdSense in there to make money in between purchases. On any given day, you can easily write 20 reviews (as a career basis not a hobby). With every passing day, you are creating more pages all linking to the Amazon Affiliate purchases.

Don’t forget to add other stuff to since it is important to diversify.

For blogging basics, we must break it down into the simplest terms. For starters, you are not writing a novel, and you also do not want only a 4 sentence post. A good blog post should be 200 to 500 words and no more. People’s attention spans are short, and the last thing that you want to do is drive away possible traffic that could be clicking one of your ads.

Keep your posts simple and easy to read without the use of flashy grammar that one would expect from the media. Your punctuation does not even need to be perfect. Never use shortened “IM” symbols and words. Some of your readers may not understand them. This includes things like LOL, LMAO, ?, ;), etc. Never use letters that represent words like l8r (latter), it is only 3 more key strokes, CU 2morow (see you tomorrow), it just makes no sense to drive away traffic because you are too lazy to use the words.

Building a good reputable blog, means you cannot be lazy. You have to work hard at it and as a general rule of thumb you should ad a new post every 6 - 8 hours. Good Luck and Happy blogging.

When writing a blog in order to make money from it you must remember that content is the king of a blog. The more useful and interesting the post is, the more people will want to come back. You can blog on just about anything, but the most important thing is making it interesting.

There are too many people out there that will tell you if you have a blog on computers you can only talk about computers. This is not true. If you have a blog on computers, you are most likely doing a computer related job and this goes the same for your visitors. One of the best ways to increase traffic is to have one interesting, off topic post for about every 10 posts. Keep your readers happy. Now one thing you should not do is talk about that guy in the office that always says something stupid around the water cooler. Now if that same guy was changing the water and dropped the bottle and this clumsy accident led to a surge in the office electrical system that shut down the entire network and the guy ended up getting a shock. Then by all means go ahead. But you must remember that off-topic posts have to be very interesting, or you may end up loosing viewers.

Participate in other blogs and forums. Become a regular to other blogs and leave comments. This will lead to visits.

Add multiple tags to every post. This will create more pages that will create increase in traffic. Don’t forget to always ping your blog after every post, regardless as to if a “ping” is standard in the software.

There are so many free blogging platforms out there that you should not have to pay for one. Choose the one that is easy for you to manipulate. If you know a lot about XML then by all means go with Blogger.

The reason you have to manipulate is simple. Every blog should be different. Even down to the names of images and the colors on the template. This helps make your blog unique from the countless other blogs that are on the same platform.

Most people find a template that they like and use it with no modification. This is bad since it is not unique. Just like your content needs to be unique to get a higher rank, your html needs to be unique as well.

If it is not, it may just get buried amongst the billions of blogs out there today. You can choose to use a free blog site like Blogger.Com or Wordpress.Org, but the best choice you can make, is to have a completely unique blog. A sub domain blog will never be as good as a main domain blog.

Why have a Geocities website, when for a very small monthly fee, you can have your own domain and space on a server. It is worth spending that extra couple of dollars every month as it put more control in your hands.
