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.
