Here are five suggestions on how to get started making money on the internet:

5 Suggestions How to Get Started Making Money on the Internet

1. Make a list of all the things you are really interested in and that you can write about without too much effort.

2. Pick one area from the list and write 5 articles

3. Get a free blog from Blogger and name it something with your focus area in the name

4. Do not buy anything from the so called internet gurus – avoid this stuff like the plague or you will go broke

5. Two weeks after you post your articles (it is best to post 1 a day) check to see if you wrote any more and    posted them.  If you did not write any more articles then you need to find another area of interest.  You have    to be passionate about this area or you will not put in the time to keep it going.  This is called finding your    niche and putting content on your blog.

You are probably wondering how this will help you to make money on the internet?  I will cover this next time in the article on monetization.  There are actually many stages to this process and initially all you need to know is one thing.  Till next time,  Jim

There is no attempt to hide this fact by me and it is actually stated on my new blog.  In all fairness I will probably change the format as I go along and put up a welcome page as my index.

Is it ethical to use a blog format for a niche site?  I think a clearly defined goal for your blog will avoid any confusion.  What do you hope to accomplish with your new blog?

There is nothing worse than a fake authority site where countless promotions take place.  That is why it is important to establish the flavor of the blog at the very beginning.  What do you think?
