My Newbie Blog (noob) | How to Create a Blog

Can I make money online? This is the question that is asked everyday by people who are looking for ways to make extra money online or who are hoping to quit their jobs and work from home.   And the answer is (drum roll please) yes and no.  Not the answer you were looking for?  Sorry.  Some people will be able to make enough money online to actually have it be there full time job.  Some people will be able to make enough money online to supplement their existing income.  Some people will lose money by trying every get rich quick scheme that promises lots of income with no work.  The people who make money online have to work really hard at it.  It takes hours of often monotonous effort to develop workable Online Marketing Strategies.

Most people will throw in the towel way before they ever get to the spot where they can start making money.  There are always stories of people who seem to go from rags-to-riches overnight, but the reality is that most of us will put in a lot of time before we begin to see how we can even begin to make money online.  Having said all that, there is money to be made online.  You can make money online by using Google Adsesne.  You can make money online by joining affiliate programs and earning commissions from leads.  You might make money online by selling articles you have written.  After spending some time checking out various websites and blogs online you will probably find some other ways to make money online.

If you are ever going to make money online, I suggest that you start with a blog.  A good blog is still probably the best foundation for making money online.  There are a lot of articles about how to create a blog on this site.  Take some time to read through them and see if this is something that you would like to do.  Oh, by the way, don’t quit your day job just yet!

My Newbie Blog is here not only to help you figure out how to create a blog, but also how to make some money on the Internet.  One of the best ways I have seen to do that is a system that is called “The Mini Site Formula“.  This system encourages the development of a lot of quick and easy websites that generate a small amount of money every day.  When you get a lot of these websites going you can start making some significant income.  Joel Peterson developed this process and this is an excerpt of what he says about it on his website:

You see when most people try to make money on the internet, they go for the home-run. They try to make one single website earn $100 or $1,000 dollars a day.

I’ve been down that road and it’s darn near impossible to make it work.

So instead of swinging for the fences…

I Just Bunt!

I don’t even try to launch a website capable of earning thousands of dollars a day. All I want is a website that earns a consistent $3 a day.

Best of all, I’ve created a system that allows me to launch one of these money-making “mini-sites” in just…

30 Minutes!

Now think about this for a minute:

$3 a day certainly doesn’t sound like much, but because it only takes about 30 minutes to set up these mini-sites, the profit potential really starts to add up.

See for yourself:

Each Website you build = $3 / day…

1 Website = $3 / Day

What if you had 100 Websites?

100 Websites = $300 / Day

What if you had 1,000 Websites?

1,000 Websites =

My Newbie Blog is visited every day by people with questions about how to create a blog.  I was thinking back about my own blogging journey and how it has changed over time.  I have spent most of my life working with computers.   My first exposure to a computer was in 1972 at a terminal that allowed you to play a game of sorts where you would type in where what room you thought something was in and the computer would give you clues to help find whatever you were looking for. This terminal was more like a typewriter than anything we would call a computer today.  IN 1979 I went to college and took a class in Fortran.  Fortran was a computer language that worked by using a type pad to make a a deck of cards and then the cards were fed into the main computer.  It was a very time consuming process.  In the early 80’s I had a Radio Shack Color Computer and I could go on Compuserve which was a big deal at the time.

I eventually ended up selling computers and can remember the first IBM’s coming out with the two floppy disk drives.

Seagate introduced a 20 MB Hard Disk and I remember thinking that no one could ever use 20 MB of Hard Disk space.  And then came Windows and you needed at least 40 MB of Hard Disk Space.  And on and on ……………….

What does all that have to do with creating a blog?  I guess I am amazed at where things are now and I am wondering what they will look like 10 or 20 years from now.  I would encourage all of you newbies to keep your eyes open to look for ways to utilize the Internet and be ready to go with the changes that come along.  I am sure we haven’t seen anything yet!
