Blogs are an ideal way to start making money online.
Here are some ideas for getting started blogging for cash.
First decide on your blog platform.
If you are just starting out then making a free blog at blogger.
com is a great way to start.
It is also an easy way to apply for an AdSense account as you can apply directly through your blogger account.
You are going to need an AdSense account as it is the number one way to make cash with your blog.
Before making your blog you will need to decide what you are going to blog about and ideally find a good list of keywords.
You might like to write your first blog about something you are already interested in - this makes it a great deal easier to start writing.
Once you get used to writing blog posts and articles every day you will eventually be able to write about any subject you choose.
Try typing "keyword tool" into Google to find a site where you can get a list of keywords for your subject.
For example, if you are going to blog about gardening, this is a very wide topic that you need to narrow down to find your "niche".
Check with a keyword tool what people are searching for in the gardening topic.
Write down about 20 phrases that people are searching for...
such as container gardening which has around 60,000 searches a month.
You could make a blog about this and write blog posts about some of the other keywords and phrases which appear in the keyword tool...
for example container herb gardening.
