You can make money online by blogging. There is no doubt about it.

1.) Start a blog. For those who have no idea how to start, you can refer to my earlier post on How to start a blog and make money online.

2) Make at least 1 post on your blog daily. Think of a topic, example, iPhone, iPod, Laptop, WordPress, Obama, Osama. If you want a blog on hot topics, go to Google Hot Trends (USA) or Google Hot Trends (Singapore) and search for a topic.

3.) Put up advertisment on your blog. Google Adsense is the first choice advertising network for many bloggers. Take a look at my earlier post on What is Google Adsense?. Login to your Google Adsense account and setup your adsense. You can put 3 Ad Units and 3 Link Units on a single page.

4) Drive traffic to your blog. Without traffic, you cannot make money. The best traffic is from Google Search. Add your URL to Google now! It takes time to get index by Google Search. The faster way to get your blog on Google Search is to go through Google Blog Search. Before you Add your blog to Google Blog Search, make sure you have at least a blog post. To check whether you blog is in the Google Blog Search, enter site:yourdomain.com. If you just posted a blog, it should be up within 1 ot 2 mins.

5) Understand your traffic. Where they come from, how long they stay on your site, what are they reading? All you need is Google Analytics.

6) Decide how much to earn. Start with US$1.00 a day. Continue to make a blog post a day till you earn an average of US$1.00 a day. If you manage to earn $1.00 a day after 30 days, it means on average each post earn $0.033. Once you reach your $1.00 target, go for $2.00. The time it takes to earn the next $1.00 will be shorter.

7) Learn how others make money online. There are people earning US$10k a month, US$100k a month. Learn from them and share with others when you are up there.

BTW, I still have a long way to go :)

I am back to blogging again and will try my best to blog at least 1 topics a day. Richard Palace dot Com has been upgraded to WordPress 2.6.3 (the latest version available today at WordPress.org) and all the WordPress Plugins has also been updated.

Recently I bought an iPod Touch 8 GB as I still have an existing contract with StarHub, a Singapore Mobile Phone Company. So far, I am impressed with this wonderful slim gadget which is very internet friendly. I will decide if i want to get an iPhone when the contract ends.

In the next few days, I will get a new theme and also a iPhone theme for mobile access.
