How You can Get Paid Daily from a Blog
By Alicia Washington

Have you ever imagined having your own blog or website and actually being able to earn money from it?  It is really possible for anyone to do this.  All you need is a computer, content, and Internet connection.  How much can you really earn, how to get started and more will be explained in this article.

What is a blog?

A blog is simply a platform that is used to put content on.  It is information that you will put on an online journal or diary to be published on the World Wide Web.  Because it is published online, people will come to find out more information about the subject or topic that your blog is centered around.  From cooking to sports to fashion, a blog is your personal footprint or voice that can be heard virtually.

Can anyone start a blog?

Absolutely.  Teenagers, adults, celebrities, businesses, corporations, and anyone who wants to can have their own blog.

How much does a blog cost?

Nothing.  You can get a free blog from blogger.com or wordpress. Of course you can pay for a blog if you choose to but this is not a requirement.  Many choose to purchase hosting from sites like Go Daddy, Host Gator, or Blue Host.  Hosting is basically renting space online to have a place for your blog or website to sit, but this is also optional and up to the discretion of each blogger.
Note:  If you use blogger you can host it there and never have to pay hosting fees but if they feel that you have violated their terms and conditions, they could take your blog down without any notice and that is why some people decide to host it on a server like the ones I mentioned above.  This will give the blogger full control over their blog or website and content contained within.

What will I blog about?

Anything you want to.  It is all up to you.  If you feel that you are an expert or have knowledge in an area or subject that will benefit others, you can blog about it.  You can also have a personal blog and post and upload pictures of your favorite places to travel, foods to eat, your pets, etc.  You can even create a hodgepodge of a blog with random things on it.  Because it is your blog, you can post whatever information you want.  It is a reflection of you and even if there are hundreds on blogs on the topic you choose, it will still be unique, because no two people are the same.

How can I make money?

By placing advertisements on your blog or website.  You can also sell advertising slots on your blog.  Sell your own products and so much more.  Here is a recent video I made about how to put ads on your blog.  Please click here for a list of companies that will pay you to be a publisher and promote other businesses and well known companies.

How much will I make?

You can make anywhere from a few cents per day to a few dollars a day or even hundreds a day.  It depends on how much traffic you get.  It also depends on the content that you produce.  The content is what will drive people to your blog or website.  Try to create good, quality content on a regular basis.  You can also get free content from a few companies that I have listed here.

Just remember to have fun, work hard, and you will reap the benefits accordingly.  If you are seriously considering starting your own blog or website, please watch this video that will give you some tips on how you can start your own blog or website today!
