Blog marketing and monetization is not difficult if you follow a step-by-step procedure. First
you need to decide how much you want to invest at the beginning of your blog monetization
effort.
If you do not want to spend any money outright start with a blogger blog (free) and learn to
promote it through free traffic generation tactics. Once you earn a little bit of money through your free blog
start with a WordPress blog (free again but you need to buy webspace and domain name).
Decision No 1 : Blogger blog or WordPress blog
Decision No 2: Choosing a Niche Topic
Decision No 3: Want to create the blog yourself or get help?
Decision No 4: Do it yourself? Then which theme? Get Help? Then where do you
want to go for help?
Decision No 5: Content development. Do you want to write your own content? Buy
PLR? Get free content from article directories?
Decision No 6: Promotional tactics. How do you plan to get traffic to your
blog?
Think of one topic that you are passionate about. You should be interested enough in this topic
to pursue it for many years on a regular every day basis. It may be your hobby, your interest, expertise or what
you want to learn more about.
Then do some keyword research through Word Tracker and Google Trends and try to find out if there are enough people searching for the topic of your
interest.
