Blogging For Dollars: Your One-Minute Business

By Angela Booth
Have you ever wanted to work for yourself? Imagine – you could decide when and where you work, how much you want to earn, and best of all, no one could ever fire you.

What if I told you that you could start your own business in less than one minute?

You can.

You can start your own business in less than one minute by creating a blog. A blog is essentially an instant-publishing solution. Think of it as creating your own magazine. If that sounds intimidating, it’s not. You’re a mine of information and knowledge, but you’re using all that know-how for someone else. When you create a blog, you’re using that information for yourself.

You can create your blog today, and start adding entries to it. You can even monetize your blog today. Tomorrow, and for the next few weeks, you add more information to your blog. And then – you can make your blog your business, sooner than you thought possible.

Thousands of others are already developing their blogs into low-cost, instant businesses. Would you believe that some bloggers earn tens of thousands of dollars a month? They do. You can do it as well.

Start your blogging business today

You can start your blog in less than one minute. Go to Blogger.com (which is owned by Google) and create a blog. This blog is your new business.

Choose a topic for your blog on which you’re an expert. Not an expert? Of course you are. You’re an expert on what you do. If you’re a mother, you’re an expert. If you’re a student, you’re an expert. If you’re a bricklayer, you’re an expert.

Or, choose a topic that’s your favorite hobby: sports, cooking, eBay auctions – the choices are endless. What do you love? Create a blog based on your passion.

Monetize your blog

Once you’ve created a Blogger blog, monetizing the blog is easy. Google does it for you, by running AdSense advertisements on your blog. Businesses pay Google to run ads, and Google pays you. You just need to set up an AdSense account (it takes minutes), wait for Google to approve it (takes a day) and then insert the ads into your blog. Check the Blogger Help file for all the information you need.

Keep adding information, and collect cash

The next step is to keep adding information – blog entries – to your blog. The rate at which you add entries is up to you. You’ll find that the first few days of creating entries take longest. This is because you’re building your blogging muscles. Within four days, you’ll have gotten into the swing of it, and you’ll find that it just takes minutes to create a blog entry.

As you add entries, they will be indexed in Google, and when readers visit your blog and click on the AdSense ads, you earn money. The more visitors, the more you earn. It takes around a month for you to start seeing consistent income from your blog. Then, as you keep blogging, your income will rise steadily.

There are many other ways to earn income from your blog.

So there you have it: your one-minute business. No other business is as easy or as simple. And very few other businesses are as profitable.
