So what exactly is a blog? Well in a nutshell it is just a log or journal of your personal thoughts, opinions and ideas.
And if you haven't noticed, blogging is big business.
I remember a few years ago John Chow managed to make $30,000 in one month from his blog.
That is a lot of money.
All John does is show people how he goes about making money online.
There is nothing overly complicated about his concept.
People love to see how you go about doing things.
For example, lets say you decide you want to lose weight.
If you have guts, you can set up a blog and let the world watch you lose the weight.
This will bring about a lot of buzz and tons of people will start to visit your blog on a regular basis to see what you are doing.
The way you would make money is by becoming as affiliate of the weight loss program you are using.
As people follow your journey and see that you are losing weight, they will gladly spend their money on products and services you refer them to.
Its all about building up a reputation of always delivering good valuable content.
Now of course your blog doesn't have to be about losing weight.
You can make your blog political, about sports, about music or any other topic.
The key to success is making sure you keep your content fresh and up to date.
As you start to build up a strong readership, you will start to see your sales increase as well.
