Make Money Blogging - Guaranteed

Have you ever thought of writing a blog and not know how to get started, get traffic, or get paid? Writing for Today.com is a great way for you to do just that. This is not a way to get rich, but a good opportunity to share your thoughts and get some extra spending cash. You can start a free blog, and earn $1 per posting and additional income for views.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

DECIDE ON YOUR BLOG SUBJECT AND NAME: First you will need to decide what your primary subject will be. It needs to be something you enjoy and are passionate about. That way it will be easy for you to write and fun for others to read. Next choose a name. This is important, since you won't be able to change it once you begin (your name will be part of your blog URL). You will start to get regular readers, and they will need to know where to find your blog.
Step 2

SIGN UP FOR YOUR FREE BLOG: Register for your free blog at Today.com [Please use the link below under Additional Resources if you choose start your blog]. This is an easy process, but may take a few days to be approved due to a high volume of requests at this time.
Step 3

CUSTOMIZE YOUR BLOG: Once you are accepted (application review) you will be given a link to customize your blog. You can customize the columns, colors, headers, and locations of wigits. This may take some time for you to go through the pages and decide on just what you want. However, don't allow this decision to prevent you from making that initial day's post. You can always make changes to the layout over the next few days.
Step 4

ADD TO YOUR BLOG DAILY: You will be paid $1 per post with the following restrictions. You will only be paid for the first post of the day that is at least 100 words. Because of this daily limitation, it is beneficial to you to post every day that you can. You can post more than once a day, but will not receive the $1 for it. The additional postings however will add additional traffic to your blog (which you will also get paid for) and can also build regular traffic to your site.
Step 5

RECEIVE YOUR PAYMENTS: You will receive your payment through paypal or a check once your earnings are at least $50. If you do not reach that threshold during a month, your balance will be rolled over to the next month.
