Ranked #7,714 in Education, #169,966 overall
Blogs, which are also known as web logs are all the rage right now online.
Everyone has a blog, and everyone is making money by blogging. The question is how are they doing it? What is so special about a blog that you can make money by posting on it?
First you should know that a blog is a little bit like an online journal. You can make posts in it about anything that you want to, and then publish it for the whole world to read. If you have never blogged before, it is a good idea to do so just for fun in the beginning, so that you can get a feel of what it is about.

Learning a bit
However, for a beginner blog marketer, you want to take it slow and one step at a time. You will need to do things in order and that will help keep you from getting overwhelmed with it all.
The Blogging Learning Zone
Finding your niche
This can be anything that you know, want to know, or want to learn. Become an expert in that field. The more you know, the better. The niche can be anything that you want it to be. It can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be. Think about something that you know and love, something that you want to learn all about. You will come up with a niche that will be perfect before you know it.
Take the visitor poll!
Updating your blog
Now that you know what your blog will be all about, you are ready to get down to business. First of all you want to decide how often you will update your blog.Will it be daily? Every other day? Maybe even weekly?
Whichever you choose, stick with it and make sure that you hardly ever miss an update. Once you get readers to your blog you want them to know that you will update it as often as you say. They need to know how often to check and visit your blog for new information.
If you post like you say you will, you will end up with a large reader base that will follow you anywhere.
Getting Started With Marketing
To begin with, you need to get back links. Back links are important and they mean that someone is linking to you. There are a few ways that you can get these much needed links. You can look around on the internet and find some sites that are relevant to your niche and request a link, or your can post comments on other blogs that are relevant and leave a link behind with your comment. Either way, they both work and they both count as links that you need to your blog.

Blogging eBooks on eBay
Are you a glutton for ebooks? I wouldn't recommend you spend any more money on an ebook if the last one you bought is sitting on your computer right now unread, but if you want to check out some of the ones on ebay (they do have good info, but you just have to READ them!), here is a live feed.
Conclusion:
Make sure that you ping your blog every time it is updated, and work on those links as they will make a huge difference.

- Thanks, it is good to see a consistent message emerging from all the blogging resources, this is nice and straightforward with links to where I can read more. I am new to blogging, but hey I guess you've got to start somewhere. I'm also pleased that I'm not some kind of freak if I want to update my blog daily. So much to impart, such little time.

- I am still a little confused...it seems a bit overwhelming, but then again, maybe it's because I am in my very young 40's and somewhat computer illiterate...lol! I am trying though, as I see this as a unique way to get my business growing fast. You can really type about anything on your blog? This is definitely an interesting concept. I hope it is quick and easy to learn.
