How to Start Your Own Blog
How to Create a Blog: You can use free
services like
WordPress or
Blogger to
create your blog. They are very reputable services that will
provide you with the tools and host your blog on the Internet
for you.
However, if you want to have complete ownership and control
over your blog, you can still use their services, but host them
on the Internet yourself...and it doesn't cost much at all. If
you need help with the set up process, we recommend signing up
for access to your Blog
Starter Pack. This course will help you with all the
technical details of getting up and running.
Skills Needed: To create a popular blog,
you'll want to have decent communication skills. If your blog is
mainly written text, then writing skills are a must (or the
ability to hire talented
ghostwriters goes a long way too). If you do a lot of video
on your blog, them some videography skills will help. Or if you
prefer to share your voice, an audio blog is possible too and
your speaking skills will come in handy.
In addition to being able to communicate, you need to have a
good understand of your target audience so that you can make
them appropriate product offers and compell them to buy from
your blog. To help with this, sign up for your

Supplies & Equipment: The requirement here
are minimal. You need a computer with a decent Internet
connection. The software to run your blog is generally free, but
you want to pay out a bit of cash to
have your
website name and have
your blog hosted on the Internet.
How Much Can You Earn?: The earning
potential really varies. You can make money by recommending
products through
affiliate programs, offering advertising on your site and
even selling your own products. How much you earn is up to you.
