Make Money Blogging
Blog and Earn Money
I blog with different companies and make money blogging. You can too! It's an easy way to supplement your income. You choose what you'd like to write about based on the opportunities available, and write a post on your blog. You then submit your post to the company you're writing for and the money follows. Some of the companies I work with are listed below, so you can get started as well!PayPerPost
This is an excellent company. I've personally been on the top earner's board multiple times. I've made thousands of dollars working with PayPerPost.

Blogging Platforms
A couple of blogging options...
When you blog, you are writing on a platform that makes it easier to publish what you write in a simple order. As you add each post, it shows up, while the older posts are slowly archived.
There are most of the big platforms. There are others out there, so poke around and find one that feels right for you.
If you're going to create a blog on your own domain, I highly recommend Wordpress. Here are some Wordpress Video Tutorials to get you started!
If you want to make money blogging, read the terms of service of each network to see what is allowed.

- Blogger
- Blogger is very easy to use. It's user friendly, and holds your hand through the process. Setting up your first blog is a snap with blogger. I started with blogger and loved it. One problem though is that you don't have a unique domain name. Your web address will something like this (http://survivingnj.blogspot.com)
- WordPress
- There are two Wordpress options. One is the website, where you can open a blog. It would like like this... http://YOURBLOG.wordpress.com (YOU CAN NOT DO PAID BLOGGING ON THIS VERSION)
Wordpress.org is blogging software you host on your own domain. I use Wordpress on many of my blogs. I LOVE IT! It has a little learning curve, but once you use it, it's wonderful. It's easy to learn, and there are tips, tricks and tutorials to help. This is my favorite, and what I use on most of my blogs. - Xanga
- Blogging Option that also offers a community feel.
- Movable Type
- Blogging Option that many love. I use this on one of my blogs.
- Live Journal
- Blogging Option with community feel.
- Vox

What about Niche Blogging?
Niche Blogging Earns You Money
I've been blogging for over 2 years now. During the last few years, I've done the blog thing, online stores, websites, and just about everything you can think of. I've got close to 200 Squidoo lenses, a book, and more. You could say I've spent a lot of time online, and all with the goal of being able to work from home.
I've signed up for e-courses, read books, researched tons of stuff, but there was something about Amy Bass that told me I needed to give The Niche Blogger a try. It was well worth my time. As much as I'm an online presence, I also keep to myself about things. This is one of the few times I want to rave. I love being a member of The Niche Blogger, and my income has all ready started to increase.

It's the little details I've overlooked in the past, and I'm able to take the information I'm picking up here to not only create more content, but also go back, and improve other sites I have. The Niche Blogger is a no brainer, and I happily lent my voice and picture for testimony on her site, because it's something that truly is helping me increase my own income. Period...hands down, the best move I made this year. Go ahead...start looking around and see if you see my testimony scattered on the internet- I'll wait. It won't happen, because not much adds "that" much value to what I all ready know from being online.
Amy takes your hand, and goes step by step, as basic as it gets. She uses blog posts, videos, and there's a very active forum board where people are helping each other. It's not a cut throat board, it's a help each other do better board. This is a community I was so happy to join, I jumped from monthly member to lifetime member the first month. I know QUALITY when I see it.
I happily recommend The Niche Blogger, whether you're a new blogger, looking to create niche blogs and more. It's the fine details many people overlook, and this time, I'm taking the time to do each step...one at at time. I'm all ready seeing the results of the time and effort I've put in, with Amy's details.
You won't hear me shouting out about many programs, but this is one I'm happy to have joined. I became a member of the "do it faster, take shortcuts" crew, and I wasn't getting the results during the last two years, that I'm getting now.
