Blogging - For The Bucks

   Another great way to earn money from home is blogging.  Yes, another great work from home opportunity is simply writing one or two short posts a week.  But before you start to thing that you can just throw some random words up and expect to make some cash, you're wrong.

   Step one, write about something people care about or would be interested in.  Such as working from home.  Or if you have a funny family, a funny life, great recipes, ect.  The key is to connect with your readers.  You want to keep them coming back each week to your blog.  It's not an easy task, but if you are a decent writer and have something somewhat interesting, you should do okay.  Do count on quitting your day job in the first month or two, but if you stick with it, you may be able to in a couple of years.

   Step two is SEO (search engine optimization).  I could write a 2,000 word post on just how to get your site on Google, so it's not easy.  I have been researching website SEO for the past year or so, and have just touched the tip of the iceburge.  To understand SEO, it takes years of experience and knowledge, however, by doing a little online research, you can learn the basics in a couple weeks.

   Step three, Google Adsense.  Wrtitting a blog and SEO along will not make you much money.  In fact, it won't make you any money at all.  That's where Google Adsense comes in.  Google Adsense is very simple for those who are somewhat familiar with a computer and the internet.  Essentially, all Adsense boils down to is advertising.  Your blog becomes the billboard.  When visitors to your blog click on the links posted on your blog, you earn money.  Depending on the ads, you may only make five or ten cents per click, but if you get 1,000 clicks per day, you can go on vacation once a month.

   So, in conclusion, another great opportunity to work from home is create and run a blog.  By incorporating SEO (search engine optimization) and Google Adsense, you can begin to earn in a few months.  The only downside to blogging is one, you have to be a somewhat decent writer, have an interesting topic, and get traffic.  However, if successful, blogging is one of the easiest ways to earn cash from home by use of the internet.
