Are you looking to start an online business that you love?  A hobby you enjoy is a great place to start when looking for an online business.

With an online business you can provide a service, a product and/or information.

Providing information is good because people are always browsing the internet looking for ….INFORMATION.

A good way to format this information is on a blog. With a blog your information is in articles which can be formated for easy searching promoting your latest post of information first.

There is no end to the kind of informational blog you can start. People are online looking for information and you may have the information they needs.

Ideas for types of blogs to start:

  • A craft you are good at
  • Gardening
  • Cooking
  • Kids and Parenting

Next you need figure out how to set up and use your blog. There are a few online places to start your blog for free. Blogger and Wordpress are the two big ones most people use.  Blogger is nice because there is no end to lovely blog templates, meaning the look and style of your blog.  With Wordpress if you decide to do the free version then there are some restrictions as to making money with your blog. You’ll have to read about this. Then you need to think about hosting it yourself.

So once you have decided to blog now you need to know how you can make money blogging. Again an endless topic but the three main ways are advertising, that is selling advertising on your blog, affiliate programs, and selling something of your own creation.

So you have your idea, where you’re going to put your site now  what to blog about? You would be surprised but instead of getting deep and heavy with your blog many people just want to know the basics. When I first started online the main thing people came to my site for was how to bathe a baby. You would think this was basic but after having to do this 6 times in the space of a few years (foster babies) I knew that it was something I wanted to share. I was especially nervous with my preemie baby and I figured other people were too. I was right!

Finally how to get traffic to your blog and make money. Many new online busines owners start off paying for traffic and joining traffic farms to get people to come to their site. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say DON’T DO IT!
