I have added my blog to google http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

Wednesday thoughts

My first 4 reviews have earned over £7 so far, I will write another seven this week. Tomorrow I will submit my reviews to another site to give my earnings a boost. I have had a couple of hits on my blogs but no one has clicked onto the adverts. I have linked my blog to facebook and I now intend to increase my friends total as well as posting on facebook a few times each day. I joined  Rovers  on facebook this is giving me an easy way to get involved in posting and chat

Week 2 Tuesday 2nd March 2010

Week 2 hasn`t increased the money by much, I suppose I have been setting up the blogs rather than focusing on increasing my income. £28.18 in two weeks isn`t a lot so I wll aim to increase this by a least £30 in week three. I will write 7 new reviews on Dooyoo and also publish theses on CAIO. This should bring in about £20 th rest I will try and bring in on Google adsense by promoting my new blog. So me target for week three is to hit £60 in the bank.

Earnings week 2

Adverts £21.61

Writing £ 6.57

Total £28.18

Motivation

I think one of the hardest things to do is to stay motivated, most blogs get started then fail after a couple of posts. One problem is writers block, sat in front of the screen not knowing what to write, having no plan. Then you start thinking is it really worth it. to combat this I have started to write to do lists. I just jot down ten simple tasks to do on a bit of scrap paper. I work through them one at a time till all ten are completed. If I get stuck I just move on to the next task. Once all ten are finished  I make a new list and start again.
Just think if you were to complete ten easy tasks each day how big will your blog be after a year.

New blog

Having spent the weekend deciding the format for my new blog its now time to get it started. How easy is it to start a blog on google? Once you have opened an account with google just click on create a new blog, enter the name of your blog then chose a template. Thats it you can now start posting.
The whole idea of my blog is to make money from advertising so after making my first post I have added google adsense. Just click on layout then adsense. This provides you with free adverts from google which automatically relate to the content of your blog. Have a play about with adsense to get a feel of how it works. You get paid each time someone clicks on an advert, click on reports to show your earnings. google don`t say how much you earn per click, but I was surprised when my first earnings came through, most seem to be between 15 to 30 pence per click.

Emails

Just created an email signature to add to all the emails I send, I think it is important to advertise as much as possible and build up a following. The success of my blog will depend on as many people as possible viewing my pages on a daily basis.
