"How to set up a blog". I have promised you this post. It's finally here!
Before I will give you the instructions on how to set up a blog, let me first define what is a blog or blogging ( especially for those who are not familiar with these terms: blog or blogging).
What is a blog? A blog is the condensed name of "weblog" or "web log". It is a private webpage published by an individual or a group. A blog may also be referred to as a website.
A blog is like a diary, only it is done online. To "post" means to write or display something on the blog. Hence, you may post your thoughts, comments, articles or news, any information, photos, videos and/or audios.
A blog can be just a blog to share something about yourself with your family, relatives and friends or it can be for the public. A blog can be an avenue to sell, promote or market something. When you post something to a blog, it is blogging.
Over the years, blogs have become so popular that even if the bloggers (the ones who blog) did not intend to make money online they eventually did so as they were offered opportunities by advertisers and marketers. (But this will be another topic that I will post about later in the near future...)
Meanwhile, first things first. Let me share with you here the basics- how to set up a blog.
In creating a blog, you actually have a choice to use a private domain or your own website (example: www.you.com) which you have to spend for. Or, you can start blogging for free by using the free blogging services of the likes of Blogger, Yola, Wordpress, etc.
For purposes of having a feel of blogging or how to blog, let us use BLOGGER to set up a blog.
Instructions:
1. Create a Google account by visiting www.blogger.com. On the Blogger webpage, there is a button that will allow you to create a new Google (Gmail) account in minutes. If you have an existing Google (Gmail) account, you can skip this step and move on to the next.
Note: When creating your Google account, you will have to provide some basic information, including your current email address. You will also be asked to create a password.
2. Now that you already have a gmail or google account, go back to Blogger. Sign in using your google account and password.
3. Choose the "Create a blog" option on the Blogger dashboard. By the way, Blogger allows you to create and manage about a 100 blogs with your account. You can manage all of them using your "dashboard".
4. Name your blog (blog title). Choose something that is easy to remember. You may choose a title from any of your hobbies or interest or something that will describe the content of this particular blog. Make your title something catchy, yet not extremely long.
The name or blog title you choose will be the first part of the URL or web address of your site. The URL for your site will be http://yourblogtitle@blogspot.com.
5. Choose your template. Blogger provides many templates you can choose from to set up your initial blog on the site. Please don't take so much time in choosing the template at his point in time. You can always go back later and change it according to your desire from among the many choices blogger is offering. Meanwhile, just choose one so you can start your blog.
6. Now post something on your blog. You can either write it straight into BLOGGER by clicking "New Post" and edit and saving it as you go along until you are satisfied with your post. OR, you can write your post in a Word document or notepad and just copy and paste it to BLOGGER.
7. Before clicking on "Publish Post", preview it first by clicking on "Preview" to take alook at what you have so far done. Once you are satisfied with the post, then you may now publish it.
Note: You may still edit your published post by going to the dashboard and clicking on "Edit Post".
8. When done, just sign out.
9. To add an update or a new post just sign in again using your google account. then, add a post to your blog with a new title.
That's it guys! Now, try it!

Money Making Idea - Sell Your Unwanted Stuff
This money making idea just came to my mind as I was reading some internet materials. I find it a very bright idea indeed.
All of us someway or the other have stuff we no longer use or need- clothes, shoes, bags, baby's things which have already been outgrown by our children, books, and even furniture and equipment, etc., that we still keep at home or in our closets.
Sometimes we just simply does not know what to do with these unwanted stuff that we just keep them stacked at home and forget all about them. At other times we simply donate them to charities or maybe, just throw them away. But for some, they sell them at garage sale, at flea markets (or tiangge to Filipinos) or trade them for something with friends or relatives.
Do you know that you can also do the garage sale over the net? Yes, there are many avenues, one of which is Triple Click. It's free. Learn about it. Just click on the ads below:
You will not only de-clutter your home and create space for your new things but it will also give you the MONEY which you may use to buy new stuff that you'd been fancying about or what ever you wish to buy.
I find this a very bright money making idea indeed! Wanna try? Give me your feedback if you tried.
God bless!
Oh, by the way, would you like to earn some extra income? Join me in this internet business for FREE. Click here.
P.S.
I did not forget about the blogging tips...Coming up next...

Anybody Can Make Money From the Internet And the Opportunity is Limitless
Yes, anybody can make money online! However, it is important that you must have the right mindset first. If you want to earn BIG, you have to put in more effort.
Making money online is not as easy as it sounds. Just like any money making endeavor, it entails some work (many times, a lot!), patience and perseverance. Thus, it means you have to learn (usually by reading and practical application), then try what you have learned, review/evaluate what progress you're making on what you have done, then continue improving on it. Then, you reap and enjoy your rewards- making money online!
Are you willing to learn and be patient learning about internet marketing and making money online?
Come join me as we explore what the world wide web can offer us to earn money through the internet.
Meanwhile, start assessing what are your interests and hobbies. I personally find it easier to talk or blog about them than any other topic. It can also be a gauge on what type of products or services you may be able to market, that is, if you were to do affiliate marketing or selling.
Who knows, your interest and/or hobbies may be the very business that you will create in the internet to market to the world wide audience.
In my case, I love cooking and baking. So I'm blogging about it in Filipino Food Recipes and Cooking Tips. That's http://fromsunshineskitchen.blogspot.com.
It's so easy for me to blog about my interest! My interest is part of my system, and I can talk about it endlessly. See my point?
You can actually start your blog draft in a Word document or Notepad. Save it in your computer or USB for later, when you have created your website or web blog.
I'll talk about how to create a blog in my next post... Til then!
God bless.
