How do you start blogging if you want to make cash? Is it simple? Is it a lot of cash straight away, or an impossible dream? Share my experiences of being paid to site!

First, forget the idea that you might setup your own weblog and be making stacks of cash straight away. It rarely happens. But, if you are willing to take some time then it is potential. A couple of months of a few hours per week should see you well and truly established if you follow my plan

1. Register your own URL - forget free urls, for instance provided by Blogger, using these will reduce the amount you can earn. Advertisers want to see commitment and that starts by buying a name.

2. Install WordPress - once you have your own URL, sort some hosting. If you are capable of using FTP, then almost any host will do and you just need to install the latest version from WordPress.org. If not, merely look for a host that allows quick WordPress installation.

3. Customise your blog - do not use a default theme, these are boring and unattractive. Search for a free theme that suits your subject and install that.

4. Start writing posts - aim for at least 3 brand new, original content, posts per week to build up plenty of content so that readers could read what you have to say and search engines have masses to record.

5. Share your writing - you want traffic arriving onto your web site and links starting to point to your weblog. You do this by writing articles and guest posting on other websites. Both could get you visitors, who may share your posts in Twitter, Stumble Upon and other services, and the links to your website are what will attract advertisers to pay you in the future.

6. Visit other websites - it sounds daft, but you should start to read, and follow, other similar websites. There are two reasons for this. First, you can see what other bloggers are buzzing about and maybe get some hot new topics and ideas to talk round, which is fabulous search engine bait. Second, you could add meaningful comments to the posts and engage in conversation with these other bloggers. The bloggers may visit your website and as long as your comments are approved, they will be listed with a link back to your site. Select your targets well and this link may even be search engine friendly and earn you links!

7. Start to sign up to money making schemes - finally, we are there! Schemes as for instance Adsense and affiliate schemes are amazing if you have real people visiting the web site. There are also some paid blogging schemes that will accept new sites, even though lots do seem to prefer to wait, or at least give most of the work, to the site has a Google Page Rank of at least 3. Certain schemes will have criteria for example at least 90 days old and more than 20 posts of 200 words. Look around and you will find something suitable for you, there are enough out there!
