Blogging Can Be Made Into An Internet Income Opportunity
Do you have a blog, yet? Many people start blogs as an avenue to express themselves or to share ideas with family members and friends. But, blogging can also be an internet income opportunity. And, if done properly, it can be a huge source of income.
Many products are sold on the internet through blogs. In most cases, the people selling these products don’t even own the products. They are selling other people’s or organization’s products and when they sell the product they receive a commission. This is called affiliate marketing.
Commission percentages can run anywhere from 3% to as high as 75%. You have to check with each vendor to determine what commission percentage they are willing to pay.
Finding products to sell on your blog is easy. For example, if you have a blog centered around cooking, you can go to Google search and type in “recipe cookbooks +affiliates”, hit “enter”, and Google will return to you a huge list of publishers who are looking for affiliates to sell their cookbooks. You can do this for any search term.
There are also some huge markets that deal only with products that are intended to be sold by affiliate marketers. Three of the biggest are Clickbank, Commission Junction, and PayDotCom. These are all free to join.
Google even has their own market similar to these. It’s called the Google Affiliate Network. Check it out.
If you don’t have a blog, but you would like to take advantage of an internet income opportunity, you should consider making your own blog. You can make your own blog for free. Blogger.com and Wordpress.com are two websites where you can create your own blogging website and it will cost you nothing to do it. They provide you the templates to get started, and the information and directions on how to create your own blog. Google’s search engines love these two websites.
The downside to Blogger.com and Wordpress.com is that they have a limited number of templates to choose from so you are limited on how your blog will look. They also do not allow any custom plugins so you are limited on how much your blog can do for you.
An alternate website that many affiliate marketers use is Wordpress.org. Google’s search engines love this website, also. On the plus side, you can upload your own custom templates and plugins. You can also change codes. This means that there is no limit to how your website can look and no limits to what it can do.
On the downside, you must have more technical knowledge. Also, while creating a website on Wordpress.org is free, you do have to provide your own domain name and hosting. Hosting on sites like Hostgator, Namecheap, or GoDaddy will cost between $7-$15 per month and domain names can be purchased from $3-$12 per year.
There is one last website I would like to discuss. If you are going to create a blog with the intent to make money, you need to be aware that you need to get your blog ranked on the first page of Google’s search engines in order to get much free traffic (read Boost Your Internet Income Opportunity for more info on how to get ranked). That means you will have to make two or more postings per week to your blog. This is where a blogging website called Wordpress Direct comes in handy.
Wordpress Direct is similar to Wordpress.org. They provide hundreds of templates to choose from or you can upload your own custom templates. You can choose any plugins that you want and you can change codes. But, the most unique feature that Wordpress Direct has to offer is that it has some unique, custom plugins that can generate articles and videos automatically and post them to your site. This relieves you from doing much of the work – particularly, if you don’t like to write.
Once again, the downside to Wordpress Direct is that you have to buy your own domain name and hosting. Also, Wordpress Direct has a monthly fee. But, if you are making money with your blogs, the small fee is easy to handle. Especially, for the time and service that Wordpress Direct saves you (for more info on Wordpress Direct, read my short article Home Work Business Opportunities).
If you are new to blogging and would like to learn more about it, I would suggest that you should study the free ThirtyDayChallenge home study course. It will help you make your first dollar on the internet.
Blogging, use it to create an internet income opportunity.

Easily Learn HTML To Promote Your Internet Income Opportunity
Gain more search engine traffic to your internet income opportunity by learning the language that the web uses. HTML is not difficult to learn. In fact, that’s why it has continued to be used since the late 1980’s.
Learning HTML is a must for anyone who is going to create or maintain a website. Knowing HTML allows you to make a great impact on visitors to your site. It allows you to not only create text, but also to embed visuals and videos, create links, change text colors and background colors, produce graphics, to do almost anything you want to you website.
Let’s face it – most of us create websites from theme templates that Wordpress or Blogger has available for us to use. There’s nothing wrong with that. But, wouldn’t you like to make a few changes to the theme template that you picked out? Maybe you would like to make a change to a visual on your template or change the color slightly. Well, you can if you know HTML!
The HTML language if not scientific. Learning it is not a mountainous challenge. In fact, you can learn most of it within a few hours. This home study course, ONE HOUR HTML, is a simple video course that will help you master this language quickly.
The reason you will learn so quickly is that the course gets you involved in writing HTML as you are studying the course. You will be using HTML as you learn it. Through the use of an exclusive “HTML Sketchpad” that appears below each video, you will write HTML that you are taught and instantly see how it appears on your website. You will learn quickly and remember it by using what you learn.
Quit being afraid of HTML! It’s not going to bite you. It’s a computer language that is easy to learn and was not made for only the computer geeks to master. Learn and use HTML to drive more visitors to your internet income opportunity.
Home Work Business Opportunities
If you are going to work out of your own home and start an internet business, you are going to need a blogging platform to take advantage of those home work business opportunities. There are free ones out there such as Blogger.com and Wordpress.com, but if you are going to have multiple websites in your home business, you need to consider Wordpress Direct.
Wordpress Direct is the ideal platform for professionals whom have multiple websites and needs help adding unique content to those sites. As you know, it takes a lot of time and effort to research, write, and create new and original content for your websites. If you have more than one site, it becomes a full time job. Wordpress Direct takes a load of that work off your shoulder. WPD has created some unique plugins that will automatically find content rich sites such as YouTube, Yahoo Answers, and popular news platforms and it will populate your website with this information. Once posted, you can review this information and either approve it or eliminate it. Maintaining a website or blog becomes easy. This is a big help for those looking for an internet income opportunity.
Let me tell you how I use this benefit while I am building my home work business opportunities. I do a lot of pay-per-click advertising on Google. My cost-per-click that I have to pay on this search engine depends a lot upon the quality score that Google gives to my landing page. So, I create a landing page on a Wordpress Direct website and then I populate it with additional articles that are automatically posted. I do this over a 1-2 week period and it boosts my quality score. Google loves my landing pages and all I have to do is create one posting!
Another reason to consider Wordpress Direct is page ranking. Wordpress Direct was built with special plugins and filters that allow websites to get higher rankings. In 2008, out of 2000 individuals that were taking the Thirty Day Challenge and were using Wordpress Direct, 57% of them achieved first page ranking in under 30 days. And, 2/3 of them were in the top 5 spots. That’s remarkable!
Wordpress Direct is not for everyone. If you have one website or blog and ranking quickly is not a concern, Wordpress Direct would not be for you. But, if you are serious about making money on the internet, Wordpress Direct should be a serious consideration. They have a 15 day FREE trial. Try it and if you don’t like it, you can get out of it. But, if you are like me, you’ll like it and use it in your home work business opportunities.
