There is a list of all 101 steps here. Check them out. I will give details to each step I take so you may not make the same mistakes I'm sure I will.

Happy blogging.

Lots of blogging for $$$ opportunities

I have not had a chance to check out all of these yet, but I did look at a few and try to sign up, although I don't beleive my oldest blog qualifies for these yet (I have a large gap in posting after I had my baby until recently), I will keep working at it until it qualifies because I think it's worth it.

I came accross all these opportunities at this blog. I think there is a lot of money to made blogging for $$$. Maybe I will get rich and throw my degrees away lol. I sure wish I would have tried this stuff before going to school to be a doctor. Ah well, one should always have backup, and at least this will get me through me college career without ramen noodles.

Getting paid to give your opinon

I am OPINIONATED! I give my opinion about everything to everyone, so when I came across this I was ecstatic. You write articles on already made topics, or you can start your own topic. I'm not sure how much you get paid, but it goes by your articles ranking. I posted 2 articles so far and one was 16/29 and the other was 75/212 or something like that. I made 1 penny lol. I know you get paid more if your article is in the top 5 and you get paid even more if that's a popular topic. Also things like personal finance would have a higher pay rate than chess.

good income opportunities with blogging

I came across this site the other night and thought I'd check it out to see if it's legit and sure enough it is. Payperpost.com. It seems pretty easy, you pick a sponsor to blog for on your site and get paid, some are $5 for a post others are $250!!! You need a really good blog rating for those high paying posts though, but with some work who knows right.



After signing up I looked around the site for a bit and they had a section where they showed the top earners sorted by day, month and all time. Some people were making $2,000 a month, just for blogging!!!!

I think right now their limit is 2 posts per day, but do the math. If you get two $20 posts per day on average that's approx. $1200 a month! You can add more than one blog and do 2 posts to each blog, that's $2400 per month for 2 blogs and 4 post a day!!! Some of us could quit our day jobs lol.

Learning how to actually make money online, without paying a freakin penny for it!

I have been trying for a while now to find a way to earn some income in my spare time online and so far it's been very frustrating. Everyone has a get rick quik scheme for the low low price of your soul. I got some email today for the google cash machine or whatever and out of pure bordom I read it, of course it's crap, but I had never heard of adsense on google.com before so I went to google and searched it. I looked for a little while and sure enough you don't have to pay google one red cent to start making money. I though there has to be a trick like everything else out there, but nope, you just advertise on you web pages (ie blogs, myspace, store, whatever you have) and they pay you everytime someone clicks on their ad, or theres another kind of ad (not too sure about as I just started today) that just pays you everytime someone sees it. So if you have a pretty high traffic site (like my myspace page) you could stand to make pretty penny lol. So anyway, Im trying this and other advertising out and I'm keeping this blog as a personal record of what works and what doesn't, hopefully to help someone else like myself out. Wish me luck!
