1. what is blogging?

Blogging is a lucrative source of profit and blogs are easy to set up and maintain. Imagine a life where you are paid to write on stuff that interests you, whenever you want, wherever you are. The mere flexibility of blogging makes it easy for you to just kick back, relax and go on a vacation whenever you feel like it.

2.how to make a blog?

There are several options - host a blog on your own domain or get a free blog. For starters, let's talk about the free blogs. You can obtain a free blog at www.blogger.com or the newer (and better!) www.wordpress.com. If you are a techie, you must have heard of Wordpress, a free blog engine that is robust and infinitely expandable.
Blogger.com is actually owned by Google, so it will be detected on Google's radar faster and you will be indexed faster. Wordpress.com, however, is a relatively new option so I have no comparison on the speed of getting indexed by search engines. However, Wordpress is better in the sense that it has more advanced features such as Trackbacks and Categories. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently

3 are there some legimate way to earn money from blogging?

You do it by working with another company that wants to use your blog as a form of advertising. It sounds like selling out, right? Not exactly. The advertising can be as in your face or subtle as you want. And it can still make you money, provided you have enough visitors to your blog.

(a)What is Adsense?

Adsense is a program offered by Google. The program, if installed, will display ads provided by Google.

How do I get Adsense?

You'll need to go to Google.com, first. At the end of the screen is a link for Advertising Programs. Click on that. Then click on the link for Adsense. Scroll down on the page that comes up and click here to Apply! You then fill out the form with information about yourself.
After 12-48 hours, Google will notify you via email whether or not your site has been accepted. When you've been accepted, set up your ads by doing either of the following:

You can set up your AdSense ads by going to your profile, selecting
settings, template, add an element. Then select AdSense and login with your account info. Next, you'll configure your ads and save the template. That's it.
For the first few days, the ads displayed by Google will be Public Service Announcements. After the ads have been up a few days, though, the ads will switch to ads that are significant to your blog.

How does Adsense work?

Every time a visitor clicks an Adsense ad, you get a little bit of money (usually around 30-60 cents). The amount you get for each ad clicked depends on the number of unique visitors you receive on your blog. The more visitors, the more money that can be earned. Google will then send a check or pay you through Paypal once you've made at least $100 from the ads.

It is important to remember that Google will punish you if you click your own ads, or if you ask visitors specifically to click ads. So don't do that! (b)Pay Per Click

never before revealed information !

Pay Per Click is basically just like AdSense, except you don't just work with Google you work with multiple companies. BidVertiser is one such company you can sign up with to do Pay Per Click advertising.

(c)Affiliate Links

Affiliate links are basically links which people pay you for. Companies will actually pay owners of admired blogs to post links on their blog. You can do as much Affiliate linking as you want.
How do Affiliate Links work?

Like the other two methods mentioned above, Affiliate links work by paying you money each time they are clicked. You get paid for each click per unique visitor.

How does Pay Per Click work?

It works by paying you money each time someone clicks an ad that you display. You won't get paid for several clicks from the same user in the same visitor, nor will you get paid for someone simply visiting your site. You only get paid for genuine clicks.

So now you have it, three genuine ways to make money from blogging. It is important to keep in mind that the amount of money you are able to make depends on how many visitors your blog draws. If you draw a lot, you'll make a lot.

4.how important is my blog content?

I want you to understand that there is no fixed scope that your blog should have, which means you can write about whatever you're interested in.

However, the difference between a profitable blog and a non-profitable blog is the way the blog is written. Just imagine, would you prefer to read your university professor's lecture notes or the latest novel by your favourite author?

You may prefer to read the novel because it appeals more to your interest, or because it is not as mind-numbing as the lecture notes by your professor. However, the most important point is people like to read "light" stuff most of the time. You see, when people log on to your blog, they are not only looking for information - they are also looking for information they can obtain easily, and better still in a relaxed manner.
So, to attract more visitors as well as to keep your current visitors coming back for more, it is very important to add a human touch to your blog posts. This can be done by simply imagining you're talking about a certain topic with your personal friend. An extra bonus for your readers would be a great sense of humour, so try to add funny comments in your articles where they are suitable.

Another important key point is to avoid addressing your reader as a plural unit. What I really mean is you should not write as if you're preparing a speech. Instead, you should write as if you're having a conversation to a single person because this will make your visitor think of you more as a personal friend rather than a person of higher authority. Besides that, it is also very useful to establish your own personality through your words. Human beings are very curious creatures, so naturally your visitors would want to know as much about you as the information you're offering them.

Having a distinctive personality in your blog would make a world's difference between your blog about gadgets and all the other blogs about gadgets out there. This is a lot like creating your own brand name, where people immediately remember your blog's name when they need to find out information about gadgets, just like how people immediately think of McDonald's for fastfood or Nike for sportswear.

So, the lesson for now is to simply write as an equal friend to your visitors, write to them as if you're talking to a single person and establish your own personality on your blog.

5.How to get free traffic to your home business Blog?

Having a blog isn't quite as simple as if you build it, they will come. Certainly, web crawlers such as Google will eventually pick up on your content and may return a link to your weblog if someone searches for relevant keywords, but there are more surefire ways to get your blog noticed. First, it's critical that your blog content is valuable to your audience - you should know your members or audience and have some idea of what they will want to read. Your aim is to inform, entertain or otherwise engage your audience to such an extent that they will be inclined to return on a daily basis (or at least frequently) to see what you have to say.

Finally, it's important to understand the concept of popularity on the Internet. Quite simply, the more links to your web content there are on the Internet, the more people will find you through search engines and other websites. Listed below are a couple of enterprising ways to accomplish that: Track Backs and Link Backs. Start by using your own web pages to link back to your blog. Post comments on other website's blogs. Link to hot topics and comments in other blogs. A little effort from you will be reciprocated with links from others. Blog Carnivals.
Blog carnivals are like magazines. They gather links to blogs on the same topics and publish an edition (an article) of a blog carnival on a particular topic, offering commentary on the various blog articles mentioned. The editor or organizer of the carnival chooses how often the edition is published and people subscribe to topics they're interested in. Networks and blog rings work in a similar manner. Blog Search Engines. Imagine Google for the blogosphere. By using specific tags, your blog and its contents become easier to find by one of the blog traffic providers.

Pinging. A Ping is when you set up your blog so that people tracking your blog get instant notification every time you update the blog. Whichever blog system you're using, you simply set up your preferences to notify specific blog tracking sites whenever your blog has fresh content. Blogging isn't a difficult task to learn, but the upkeep of providing constant content can have a draining effect on you if you're already pressed for time. Make sure your audience knows how often you'll commit to updating your blog, and then find a way to have several weeks or more of blog entries readily available when you need them.
