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

WP-Cache Plugin is one of the top 10 plugin for WordPress Blog. Basically, it speeds up your site and if your blog has high traffic, it is recommended that you have it installed. Remember to delete cache if you edit your wordpress theme.

WP-Cache is an extremely efficient WordPress page caching system to make you site much faster and responsive. It works by caching Worpress pages and storing them in a static file for serving future requests directly from the file rather than loading and compiling the whole PHP code and the building the page from the database. WP-Cache allows to serve hundred of times more pages per second, and to reduce the response time from several tenths of seconds to less than a millisecond.

WP-Cache started from the ”’Staticize Reloaded”’ by matt and billzeller. Most of their recommendations also apply to WP-Cache. Current version, WP-Cache2, is a huge improvement over previous versions of WP-Cache.

WP-Cache is composed of two parts:

1. Two-phases Wordpress hooks. The first is called at the very begining –wp-cache-phase1.php– when just few code has been compiled. The second –wp-cache-phase2.php– after all plugins have been executed. The first phase checks if the requested URL is already cached, if so it serves from the static file and finishes. The second phase stores the generated page in a static file for further request.
2. The WP-Cache plugin. This plugin configures and manages the whole process. It is easy to use and self-documented. It allows yoy to enable or disable cache, define expiration time for static pages, define rules for rejecting and accepting which URLs and php files can be cached, and shows and delete pages in cache.

Current version is 2.1.2 updated on 2007-09-21
