To create a blog is a very simple task to perform. I am not referring to free blog platforms like Blogger and Wordpress here but creating your blog on your own domain like yourname.com. There are many domain and web hosting providers out there that you can use to set up your blog. It is after all a little investment for you to venture into the world of making money online.

Setting up you blog is simple and I recommending you using a hosting service that provide you with the Cpanel. It provides Fantastico which I personally use to install my blog in the Wordpress platform. All you need to do in you cpanel is click here and there and your domain will host your blog in no time at all. After you blog is up and running, you are officially in the game of blogging.

If you are blogging to make money online, having your blog with your own domain is a must. No matter if you are doing Adsense, affiliate or selling your own product, you have to have your own identity in the internet. A blog is a way for you to communicate with your audience and it is important that you know who they are. So, you must add a capture page in you blog so that when people who comes to you site leaves their details, you know who they are. This will give a clear idea who and where they are from.

The purpose of this capture page is for you to build you list and when that list grows bigger and bigger, so does the profit. It also gives you the chance to interact with your visitors to see what sort of offer or help you can provide to them. This puts you in a good position because you will b able to offer free gifts, products when you want to. Based on the interest that your subscriber has, you can determine what you might want to market.
However, a capture page is useless if you cannot generate traffic to your blog. With traffic, you will have more opportunity of having sales when you promote something. Here is a service that I used called GetResponse. You can try it for free with its free trial. So, go ahead and create your blog and with hard work and focus, you too can build a money machine from your blog. Just remember, things do not come easy and there is no shortcut to success.
