Is Investment needed to Make a Blog?
Whenever you start a new Business you
need to invest some money, Same case
here that you need to invest money if
you want to start a Blog for making
money from it, But if you want to start a
blog just for fun and enjoyment you can
do it free by using WordPress.com or
Blogger.com

Things Needed for a Blog:
Domain Name
Web Hosting

Domain Name
Domain name is a name people use to reach
your website or Blog just like
www.customizeblogging.com is a Domain
name and you reach Blogging game by entering
that URL in your browser’s Web Address Bar.
You can register a Domain name by going to
any Domain name registrar’s website and
choosing a domain name and yes you if that
name is already registered you have to choose
another one.
After registering a Domain name you have to change its DNS settings according
to your Web Host Server’s DNS setting, after DNS setting will take effect you will
be able to work on your website.

Web Hosting
What is Hosting
You need a Computer or you can say that server
to store all of your website’s data so that people
could see it. You will store your all data in some
Web hosting company’s server.
There are many Popular and reliable Web
Hosting companies But we recommend
Godaddy for your website because We found
it most reliable company for website hosting
services.

What is CMS?
CMS Stands for Content Management System.
Websites are made up of HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript
and many other Web Programming languages.Typically
working you have to code each and every web page
which takes too long. CMS Helps you to create, Edit,
Publish, and manage your all website’s web pages in
very organized, Clean and easy way.

Content Management systems are themselves made up of
different Programming languages like PHP, CSS, HTML,
XML, Javascript, etc. There are many Content
Management systems out there but We recommend
WordPress (I am going to explain this later) Which is
mostly used CMS in the world.

What is WordPress?
As I explained above CMS are themselves coded and
developed using different programming languages.
WordPress is a Content Management System which is based
on PHP and MySQL. Moreover it is World’s most popular
CMS for Blogging Platforms and Business Websites.

What are WordPress.com and Blogger.com?

WordPress.com
WordPress.com is a free of cost Blogging service for people
who want to Blog without spending single penny, it uses
WordPress CMS for management. If you want to Start a Free
blog you should Choose WordPress.com for that, Let me
explain you further.
WordPress.com provides free subdomain to its users,
Subdomain is something like this
“www.Subdomain.wordpress.com”, In the place of
subdomain you can choose any name you want if it is not
already taken, For Example: if I want a free blog I will choose
something like “www.DesiredName.Wordpress.com”.

Blogger.com
Just like WordPress.com, Blogger.com is a Free of cost
Blogging platform for people to who want to start a free blog.
The main difference between Blogger.com and
WordPress.com is that Blogger.com is Owned by Google itself
and it is based on HTML, CSS, javascript and XML unlike
WordPress.com which is Based on PHP and MySQL
You have to sign in to your Blogger.com account using
Gmail or Google account and you can use it just like
WordPress.com service. You can create up to 100 free blogs
per account and yes you can also use custom domain name
with blogger.com and the hosting and protection provided
by Blogger.com will be free of cost..

Making Money with a Blog
There are Thousands of ways to make money with a Blog, I
am going to Present some of them here.
• Contextual Advertising:
• Direct Advertising:
• Text Links Advertising:

Contextual Advertising:
Contextual advertising is a way of advertising which is used
to target ads to specific keywords. Going deeper, Actually
these ads are picked up by an automated system after
identifying the keywords on web page. Google Adsense and
many others use this method of Advertising.

Direct Advertising
You can also Sell your Blog’s space to
Advertisers Directly, for doing this you should
display a banner having “Advertise Here” text
in it so that Advertiser should contact you and
pay you to display his ad on your blog.
The Price of Advertising depends upon the
Advertisement size, traffic and niche of your
blog or website. Some people really earn too
much using direct advertising like
Problogger.

Text Links Advertising
There are many other networks who allow to show
their advertisements in Text Links, You just have to
signup to those networks and Paste the snippet code to
your blog’s HTML area.
These Link Ads work in the way that they are
controlled by a system which recognizes the keywords
in the text and places a link in that keyword,
Whenever user hovers his cursor on that keyword that
advertisement pops out and when ever user clicks it
Publisher or Blogger gets Money.

Text Links Advertising
There are many Text Link Advertising Companies, I
have tested Text Link Ads and Infolinks But this way
of advertising is not so much good.
