Creating a niche blog is your answer!

Creating a niche blog is simple, quick and costs very little (and can be free).

First, find a topic. Get ideas from online forums, magazines, etc. If people are talking about it and writing about it, then it can make you money! Start with something big – like “moms” – and then work down until you find a niche. “Moms” is so broad of a category that you can’t make much money with it (too much competition), but “work at home moms” is better. Even better might be “Montana work at home moms.” See how it works?

Second, set up a blog. You can get a free one from Blogger or WordPress (but spend a few bucks and upgrade to one that has your own domain name). Choose a blog name, select your template and boom! You are in business!

Finally, set up your blog with about 10 blog posts, and set the dates on the posts to look like they have been posted every 2 or 3 days, starting about a month ago.

Now that the blog is set up, you need to make money from it. This can be done in several ways:

• Place Adsense ads on your blog (very easy with Blogger) – you get paid when someone clicks on the ads.
• Find paid advertisers to place ads on your site – they pay to be placed on the blog and pay every month after that. You can also charge by the year or every six months.
• Find products and services that pay you a commission when you make a sale – you get paid when someone buys the product.

These are just a few ways you can profit from a niche blog.
