Writing and Blogging Online

             What are your interests?  Do you like to garden and work with plants?  Why don’t you write a blog about your gardening experiences?  If you write enough blogs on gardening, you will start to become an “expert” on gardening. An expert status ups your pay, and your status in the blogging/publishing field

              What if you like cars?  Perhaps you can upload photos of your cars onto a blog, and write about them.  Many people are interested in autos.  The more you know about cars, the better.  Perhaps you can write about the make, model, interior, motor, and accessories of the cars you know about.

              Where do you go to write on a blog?  One of the most positive places is “hubpages.com.”  The community of writers there visit with each other online, read each others’ writings, send comments, give lots of encouragment, and sign up as fans for each other.  The money on hubpages.com is made by sharing a percentage of the advertising revenues.

              AssociatedContent.com is a great place to start out. You can write on anything you are interested in.  It is exciting to see your writing published online, and you earn according to how much you write.  You continue to get royalties, getting paid according to how many readers continue to read your writing, so you get continuing residual pay.

             Triond.com is also an encouraging blog site.  It has an open attitude, and welcomes people who want to write about anything they are interested in.  They share ad revenue, too.

             How do you get paid?  The best way is through PayPal.  You google “Pay Pal. com” and sign up.  Pay Pal takes down your routing and bank account number, so your pay can be deposited directly into your bank account.  No, this is not a quick get rich plan, but a steady and consistent plan to expose your ideas to the world, and perhaps earn a little extra money along the way.

            If you like being part of the internet community, you may eventually get a website.  Your blogs will drive traffic to your site, and give you  opportunity for even more exposure.  If you are entreprenurial, you can sell an e-book, or products related to your interests. 

           In this day of economic uncertainty, the internet attracts people attempting to carve out opportunities. People of all ages, from around the world, are logging on and writing about whatever is on their minds.  You can do it too.
