5 Ways to Create 5 Blog Posts
5 Ways to Create 5 Blog Posts
By DJ Nelson
A lot of people want to blog because they see it as something they should have, but they don’t want the chore of maintaining one. You have a business to run, you have a family to manage, and perhaps you really don’t enjoy writing. That doesn’t mean that you can’t create interesting blog content to post on a regular basis.
Here’s how:
1. Think of something that really bothers you. Consider why it bothers you and think of how it can relate to your business. There’s your first blog post. For example, I don’t like it when people send me rude emails that I perceive to be short in tone so I wrote a post about how to jerk-proof your emails.
2. For post number two think of a few questions that people ask you about your business. Write down the questions and the answers and there is your second blog post.
3. Did you read something interesting lately? What was it and why was it interesting? Can you find a copy of it online? Find the link and post it along with a quick summary and commentary of why you find it interesting.
4. What’s going on in the media? Think of a popular headline, movie, or TV show and come up with a plan for writing a blog about it. For example, when The Devil Wears Prada came out, I wrote a post called “Are you a Devil in Prada?” which discussed how people should strive to treat each other in business environments.
5. When all else fails, make a list! Think of a topic that you know about and come up with a top 5, top 7, or top 10 list. For example, look at this article.

Turn Your Hobby Into An Internet Blog That Makes Money
Turn Your Hobby Into An Internet Blog That Makes Money
By Jack Silver
A lot of people have a full-time job making money online. But there is an equal amount of people who see making money online as more of a recreational bonus. So if you have some spare time, have a hobby you love, and like the internet, then you could see some extra cash in your account each month.
The first thing to do is to identify some good keywords for your particular hobby. There are many free guides on the internet which teach you how to do keyword research. Essentially all you have to do is build a list of good keywords (the words or phrases that people type into search engines when looking for a particular topic) and then you’re ready to build your blog.
The second thing to do is to build you blog based on your keywords. Again, there are a wealth of resources available to show you how to properly construct your blog on a foundation of keywords; if you do intend to make good money from your blog, I would strongly suggest doing some research on this or to invest a small sum into an ebook which teaches you how to do it step-by-step. You can build a free blog at Blogspot or Wordpress.
Once you have your blog formatted, you will then come to the fun part - posting! Start writing about whatever you like, upload pictures and articles, and make your blog a passionate reflection on the strength of feeling you have for your hobby.
The penultimate step is to monetise your blog. There are two main ways to do this. The first is to browse sites such as Clickbank or Commission Junction and to find products which are related to your hobby’s niche. The sale of a product you link from your site will earn you a set amount of commission. The second way is to install Google Adsense on your website. This is a form of text advertising where the adverts printed on your site are determined by the common words used on your blog. It’s quite magical, and you will receive money every time a visitor clicks on one of those adverts.
The final step is to drive visitors to your blog. The more visitors you have to your blog, the more money you will make. Your best bet is to start off by joining lots of forums and newsgroups related to your hobby’s niche. Simply add a link to your website in each of your forum profiles, and then start posting regularly to the forums. Alternatively, you can write articles based upon your hobby and submit them to free article directories like Ezinearticles.
This is a very brief overview. Each step is an art in itself and you should realise that building a blog is an internet hobby that makes money. It can be a long process but, ultimately, one you should enjoy. It is always a pleasure to build your blog a little, day after day, and to see more and more visitors arrive. It’s quite possible you can build a big presence online and become something of a guru, but most importantly you will have extra cash rolling in.
