Expanding my blog - make the money by blogging

Hello all. In this post I will explain some step I make to make some cash with this blog.

After lots of reading on "making the money blogging" issue, I decided that I need the following things done:

  1. Create a quality content that interests people.
  2. Make sure to supply that content with high frequency
  3. Make sure I have a my own domain.
  4. Host the blog with Wordpress.
  5. Create the social network around the blog
  6. Monetize the appropriate
So, as the quality of the content is the most important and on-going thing, I just keep it at my best. Now, I've also started in different attempts to gain social networking going, and I will keep results posted here as they come.

For the domain name - I've registered one I use now. I don't use Wordpress hosting still, because I can't yet afford it, and I'm not yet convinced that I can just use my own money for that.

And, for the monetizing I currently use Google AdSense, WidgetBucks, Kontera and Amazon, and I don't have enough statistics yet, as I just started. Google Adsense is my oldest (for more than a year), so I might have some idea about how good it is.

And today I signed for Smorty. Smorty is an additional house that offers bloggers and advertisers to find each other. As they define themselves, you "get paid to blog, get paid for blogging, blog advertising, advertise on blogs, blog for money." You sign to a service and it shows you available opportunities you can take, to make a buck.

As in many other similar services, you trying to get as many visits as possible to your blog, and this makes your blog a more attractive place to advertisers. Then you get more and more opportunities, and as such - you make more money :-)

Great isn't it? So, I will enlist Smorty in my list of money makers for now, and until proven otherwise. More updates will follow.
