Let's start making money now!

Hello world! So finally here i am, up and running. I am done with the basic template customization and i'm quite ok with it. Do you like the design as much as i do? I hope so. By the way, i'm not a design man, i am better with the programming side. So now, i can finally start blogging and hopefully you all will enjoy the journey as much as i do.

So now let's start our journey with a question. How do we start making money online?We start making money online when we start trying to make money online. I'm a strong believer in taking action. I don't believe in learning a load of theories
while putting action on hold. I believe we learn faster by getting our hands dirty. In short, this is what i'm trying to say,"We hear and we forget. We see and we remember. We do and we understand".

Now, ok we'll start trying to make some money online, but where do we start? If you don't have a website, of course you need to set up one. For beginners, i recommend blogger or wordpress. Both of them have their pros and cons. Blogger doesn't have a built-in traffic tracking tool but they provide free access and customisation to the template. So, through the template, you can still add in your own embedded traffic tracking tool. Wordpress provides free built-in traffic tracking tool but you need to pay to edit your template. If you ask for my opinion, i'll recommend blogger because as you get more advanced you might want to do more adjustments on your template (for free). Besides, you can always add a traffic tracking tool if you have access to the template. It's just that you have to see your traffic from another server. It's fine for me. There you go, you get your website done in minutes.

So you have got your website/blog done, what is next? Next, you need to find your business model for the website/blog. You need to ask yourself this, "How do i make money online through this website/blog?"

There are many ways. Here are the three main categories i can think of right now...
1. Sell something online. It depends on what you sell, it can be very rewarding or you might find the efforts unjustified.
2. Be an affiliate, promote other people's products/services and earn your commission. This business model is fairly easy to start and most can be fully automated. Most often than not, once it's up and running, this business model is on auto-pilot. See my paycheck soon... :)
3. Advertising dollars. Earn money on click of links, per page impression, monthly ad income. Basically you are renting out the space on your site.

So you think of the business model, and i'll solve the technical problems for you, ok? Yes, it is free. Mail me if you have a question.
