Did you ever ask yourself, why do you blog, or why do you have to? Nowadays on Internet there are more than 70 millions blogs, and it is interesting what purposes do they pursue?

Until recently, to make money online was not easy for usual people like we. 4-5 years ago it was difficult to earn something on the Net until WEB 2.0 era had came. The only way which could help us in that time was website creating, it’s promotion, and selling of advertising places.

Today everything changed. Blog fever amplifies day by day, and everyone, who heard something about blogs, wants to have it. So, why? Lets try to make some supervisions.

1. Glory. The vanity was, is and will be always. Whether is necessary to be surprised that people wish to be famous? Look at how many amazing people did you know since you have enjoyed blogging. Seth Godin, Steve Pavlina, Darren Rowse… Did you ever know them if not blogs?

2. Self-expression. Many people are blogging because it gives them some charge of energy. I created this blog because I just want to share of my thoughts… Why not? And there are guys, who are the professionals in different spheres, but they don’t have another opportunities of expression. Internet is the best instrument for people like we.

Internet is not developed even on a half and I do not exclude such opportunity, that people will become famous all over again online and only after, in real life. Blogging is what such people need.

3. Job. For many, blogging is a real time job. Companies are hire people to write about their new products and its announcement. Like I wrote in my post Occupation Bloggger, the middle salary of such blogger in US is equal $2,5-3 thousands per month.

4. Sale of own products. Through Internet, we can start selling our products worldwide from the minutes after beginning. Especially if we have an electronic product like eBook or useful software, Internet is the best that we can use. And people use it. Blog helps to realize these purposes.

5. Sale of affiliate products. Recently, are appeared the new techniques, which help anyone to sell affiliate products with help of blog. Check this out.

6. To Help Another. Yes, yes, yes… And why not? I found many blogs of family doctors, radio engineering and even workers of the zoo which are writing about what should we do in different situations.

7. Money Making Online. And eventually people are blogging for the sake of money. Look at Jonh Chow, if to be honest, I’m not against that my blog brings me $18,000. But while I have no such purposes. And John is not alone. For many people blog is a big business. I read somethere, that Engadget make more than $100,000 per month. Youare probably agree with me, that these people don’t have any financial problems.

Everyone of us have different views, but the are all the same, because blogging join us. Let’s create blogs, promote them and enjoy this process, because it gives us a big opportunities in our lifes.

As an Internet Marketer, it is always tough to joggle your real world and your business. Yes, your online ventures is a business; less you don’t know.

If you treat anything as a hobby, all you get is a hobby.

I have been there…

In order to succeed in internet marketing, that includes niche marketing, you must have the following sets of tools at your disposal:

1. A web site, preferrably a blog
2. An easy to remember/catchy domain name that’s keyword rich to your niche or it can be your name for branding purposes
3. A hosting service
4. A set of keyword research tools
5. Various traffic sources
6. Something to offer to your visitors, be it affiliate program or your own products
7. An optin box on your site/blog
8. An autoresponder

Some of these tools are free. Some are paid tools.

Heck, you can even start with a free blogger or wordpress.com account! However, you have less control over your site. WordPress.com has been known to suspend accounts due to TOS violations.

The great things of using the above free blog platform is that these sites offer great ranking power! Their domains are really high ranking.

But, you can get that through adding your blog to the blog search directories.

As a first step in treating this as a business, I will be using blogging as a tool to spread my presence online. I will share the tools and knowledges I gained through each venture I attempted. There will be failures… But there will be successes along the way.

If you are interested, please come back and check on my progress.

Thank you,
