Thread: My blog

Right, it's been going for a few weeks now so I thought I'd let you know about my blog!! I started it a) to keep my mind ticking over and b) as a way to collate the money-saving stuff I was researching for my own personal use! It's called Pamper, Shop, Wine and Dine and the idea is that I find products and services relating to that at a discount. I also write under a pseudonym just because

Pamper. Shop. Wine. Dine.

I've had quite a few hits on it which is very exciting and now I am just wondering how people make money out of these things. Presumably advertising but who knows?! But I am enjoying it.

You do know you can have a blog on here?!

As to making money - the best way is to use Google adSense and affiliate marketing. I've never used blogspot, but if you have access to install plugins look at Caffeinated Content for fresh and unique content, wpSEO for optimised search engine placement, and ThemeForest for reasonable and decent themes... Once you really get started and start doing more and more with blogging, look into Genesis or Thesis. These two are frameworks which allow greater control over your blog and the ability to develop and deploy features faster and in a much more elegant way.

Thanks Sabian that's really helpful and I will take a look.

And I am sure you told me before about MO doing blogs and if I use my eyes I can even see that myself! Brain like a fried sieve, me.

OMG!!!!! I've fallen in love with the Jane Norman knitted jumper...very lush

Hi, i am an internet marketer with blogs and sites etc if you need any help with making money out of your blogs etc let me know :-) it can be great fun earning money whilst doing something that you enjoy, try all the free ways first like facebook etc as advertising can be expensive if you start off with nothing x
