1.  Find out people’s problems

                                  This is the most important part of the whole process. Your goal is simply to find what people are interested, or what their problems are, and provide a solution. This process is also known as niche finding or keyword research. Use online keyword tools like Google’s keyword research tool to find out what people are looking for. If people are searching for a term, obviously that means they are interested in knowing more about it, whether its a product, service or just information. You can also use online forums, eBay, Amazon and other sources to find out what’s hot.

2.Find products that can solve those problems

                         Now that you know what people are interested in, what their problems are or what they need, its time to search for product or services that can answers those questions, that can solve those problems. There are many affiliate marketing networks out there that you can use to search and find product and services related to your niche which you can become an affiliate of and make money by sending buyers to them.

3.Set up your blog

                                   I would suggest you get your own domain name and hosting plan. This way you will have control over your blog. But, if you don’t feel comfortable yet to spend money on your own domain name and hosting account (which will probably cost you lees than $10 a month), you can use free blogging platforms like blogger or wordpress.


4.Create quality and informative content


                         Now its time to provide information to attract people to your blog. Of course you have to create content related to whatever subject you have chosen in the first step. The best way to do this is to find out what are the questions that people are asking, questions related to the specific niche you have chosen. Once you know the questions, read and research to find out the answers. Now you can use those questions and answers to base your content on. Create content that are actually useful and informative.


5.Put your affiliate links in your blog


                          This is how you will make your money as a blogger. Simply place your affiliate links for the product(s) that you become an affiliate of, in your blog, between your posts, wherever appropriate. Whenever a visitor clicks on that link and buys the product, you get a commission.

6 Monetize your blog with Google ad sense

                          Another way to make money with your blog is to sing up for adverting companies like Google ad sense, and place their ads on your blog. Anytime someone clicks on any of those ads, you will get a commission. Its smaller than the commission earned by selling affiliate products, but your visitors don’t need to purchase anything in order for you to get a commission. Your commission is based on the number of clicks you get on those ads, which range from $0.10 to up to $20 or more per click!

7. Sell ad space on your blog

                     Another great way to make money with your blog, is to offer advertising space to others. As your blog grows and attracts more and more visitors, you can sell ad space on your blog and make more money with your blog.
