Starting Your Own Domain
Domain:-
Bring the domain at www.namecheap.com . The domain name should be impressive. It should drag the attraction of the visitor. What ever you name your domain it should reflect the content in your site or blog. It is important to bring domain at registrar because you will be the only owner of that domain. Suppose if you bring your domain at any hosting service then you are not allowed to take your domain from them at least for three months. To avoid this problems bring the domain at registrars like namecheap.This thing only happens if you don’t like the hosting provider service. It happened with me.
Hosting:-
Bring hosting with greater uptime .Even if you blog regularly, have great content and don’t have greater uptime then probably you are going to loose. Bring your hosting at www.bluehost.com or www.hostgator.com . Both of them are best in market. In beginning I don’t have proper knowledge about hosting so I bought hosting at www.ipower.com so I faced some problems like no greater uptime. Bluehost and hostgator are best in terms of customer service. I have enquired about them in forums. While hosting your blog you should know about the service provider from the forums. This is must because you must not invest money into hosting blindly.
Design:-
After bringing hosting install wordpress. Hostgator and bluehost have one click installation so anybody can install wordpress script easily with out having much knowledge. It costs too much for installing the wordpress script and database. People charge $25-$50 for doing those things. So if you bring hosting with one click installation then you gonna save money. If you don’t have knowledge about html then need not worry.
There is lot of themes online. Just search for it on google. Choose the best you like and upload it via FTP client. For wordpress it is must to upload plugins. Go to the wordpress blog and there you will find plugin directory with screen shots. You have the choose the useful plugins with more advantages. If you have blog at www.blogger.com then there are many tutorials to learn blogger. Blogger is easy than wordpress. Anybody can learn blogger with out much ease than wordpress. There is sky and ground difference between blogger and wordpress.Wordpress need regular backups but we don’t need in the case of blogger. But wordpress is professional when compared to blogger. Serious bloggers use wordpress as their blogging platform. But most of the beginners use blogger as their blogging platform because they don’t have enough money to start their own self hosted blog.
Daily Blogging Strategy
It is not great to start blog but we have to do many more things. Millions of blogs started each and every day 90% of them fail and only 10% of them succeed only because they don’t have proper design, content and improper traffic. Some of the few tips should be followed so that we get best results in traffic.
Write:-
Content plays a key role in development of any blog. Each and every day write and publish at least one post of about 500 words. Post at least 10-15 posts per week about 500 words. Some people like steve pavlina publish very long posts of about 2000-5000 words. The advantage of short posts is the user will visit regularly. But by writing long posts the user will take some thing from your blog. Both of them have their own advantage. But most of the people are interested to study short posts. Only few of them would like to read long posts only if it is interesting and give key information about anything.Don’t blog for money, blog for providing some information,give verdict on certain product or post a news item which should be latest and interesting.
Ping:-
After each and every update don’t forget to ping the blog. They are many ping services available online like Pingoat, Autopinger etc. But for wordpress blogs there is one solution. Just download the Maxblog press ping optimizer and we need not ping the blog after every update. It will take the ping automatically after complete update. We can enter the URL’s of ping services in the column provided in maxblogpress ping optimizer section.
Link Exchange:-
Visit other blogs daily and ask for link exchange politely. The link should be related to your blog’s category. Don’t beg for link exchange. If the other blog likes our blog content then they will link our blog definitely. It is best source for getting inbound traffic. If our blog is not indexed in google due to inbound traffic it will get indexed quickly.
Participate In forums:-
Be an active user in forum. Some people need answers about certain things. Give advice to them with link in our signature. Don’t use forum especially for promoting the link. This may get us banned from forum. If our answers are good and right to the point then they will click the link in signature definitely. We have to use anchor text link in signature. The anchor text should be impressive and should drag the attention of visitor.
Comment:-
Visit other blogs and comment to the topics regularly. If we are good commentator then our blog name will be listed in the top commentators section of that blog. It is best way to get some inbound traffic and exposure of your blog.
Socialize:-
After publishing the article we should not forget to submit the stories to social networking sites like digg, stumble upon, reddit, Slashdot etc. There is chance of getting tons of traffic from this sites. The more good we write the more chances of getting traffic from this sites. And once we become popular because of these sites then people would like visit our site often because of fresh and interesting content. One has to put some effort to get traffic from these sites. There is a key to get succeed in this sites which I will tell later.
Submit Articles:-
Write articles regularly and submit to article directories like ezine articles and many other directories. As this have many chances to bring much traffic to our blog.
After following these things our blog will be grown up to maximum extent. These things should be followed on daily basis at least for two or three months. Another way to bring great traffic is through SEO which we will discuss later in this blog.

My Journey To Make Money Online
My journey of making money started in 2002. I was 17 year old kid. This journey was awesome and started when I was in need of lot of money to clear my debts and have some for my personal uses. I have girlfriend so I have take care of the expenses when ever I go on date. I cannot go to job because I was studying college. So I am trying to make money from past five or six years but I failed. I was fallen prey to online scams by investing money online.
In those days my thinking was different. Unless and until I invest in any program I don’t believe that they would pay. This was my belief. But even I use to think when I am working for them then why would I pay them. Then I started surfing online for free programs to make money online. I did not found adsense in 2003 but I made little money with typing programs online for which I have to do investment of $50. I invested and got paid only for one month. Later the website scammed me. I left the internet for two more years. I found google adsense for making money online.
I don’t know how the adsense works. And later on by building free blogs I have learned the art of blogging and how to make money online from it. It is very simple once you know how to do it? Now from last year I have several hundreds of dollars by just spending two hours a day online. The free blogs are brought at blogger.com I made money by just visiting and reading other blogs. Now I want to learn pay per click marketing and share its views with you. In my free blogs I have shown people how to make money online for free and i will continue that in this blog
