This is something interesting. For all the newbies out there, this is more like a God Gift for them to speed up the learning curve on blogging. Now our dearest people at Google.com, has come up with a nice and easy video clip on how to set up a blog on a blogger. Blogger is a blogging platform owned by Google.com and because it’s owned by Google.com, it is nicely integrated with Google Adsense for you to make money right away. Adsense applications made easier this way.

SETTING UP A FREE BLOG ON BLOGGER

Another, popular blogging platform and more search engine friendly and well known for its ease of customisation is wordpress. There is also a video on how to set up a wordpress. Go and check it out below. It’s not quite Pirates of the Carribean but close enough in making you happier and entertained. ;-D

SETTING UP A BLOG ON WORDPRESS

I am an avid reader of a couple of internet marketing blogs. What interests me most is on how these blogs can make soo much money for their owners. Often I would spend some time to disect their magic formula of success and quite often read their posting as far as the blog’s first post simply to see how the blogs develop into a very successful well-known and established blogs. Sometimes I believe by doing this is way better than reading some ebook thrash. Some of my favourites are:

• JohnChow.com by John Chow, U.S.
• Problogger.com by Darren Rowse, U.S.
• Digital Inspiration by Amit Agarwal, India
• DoshDosh.com
• LiewCF.com by Liew Cheon Fong
• Hongkiat.com by Hong Kiat, Liew CF’s friend

John Chow has a good money-making list he thinks people can benefit. He has 130 of them. This is the list that people can think about after they have become frustrated with Google Adsense or thinking adding something else to their portfolio to avoid putting all eggs in one basket. His main income earners have been Review Me, Adsense and Text Link Ads . While for Liew CF, his main money making model has been on Adsense, Chitika eMalls, TextLink Ads, Amazon and Blogads. Blogads has closed its programme to outside people and membership is by invitation only. So you decide which one will be the best for you. My suggestion is to focus on Adsense first before moving on to Chitika eMalls and Text Link Ads as these two require high level traffic to ensure inclusion in their programme. For full review of internet ads network, go to PublishersSpot.com.

Other good money making list is by The Dumb Little Man. All the best to you and good luck!

Modern businessman can manage online business on the move. Credit to wifi service and its related cousins. All you have to do is to subscribe any kind of wireless internet service and you can run your online business while you are moving. Some free wi fi locations like airports and train stations provide excellent way of managing lag time associated with such places. You are sort of person with international business communication needs. You can have the internet phone service working on your wireless internet. Next time you see a person working on the laptop he may be setting up his cheap web hosting service or may he is making a new web site design. One of the best things you can achieve on the internet is monitor your internet marketing results in real time while your sitting in the bus.

Wordpress Plugins.. Finally, Wordpress has them all organised in one neat directory. You may get them all those useful plugins here at Wordpress Plugins Directory. It’s also a place where you can submit your own designed plugin for wordpress. Don’t you feel really blessed for using opensource scripts? My favourite plugins have to be:

• Ultimate TagWarrior (important for my tag and ping process)
• SEO Meta Tag Plugin by Holly Mann - It outrageously improves my website ranking on google and yahoo search engine results page (SERP) on my other blog. This handy wordpress plugins allows you to optimize each and every single page & post for the search engines by customizing the Title, Description & Meta Tags for each individual entry. Best Wordpress Plugin for SEO.
• SEO Title Tag Optimiser Plugin - This plugin make it extremely easy for you to optimise your title tag across all pages, posts. It also allows you to override a page’s or a post’s title tag with a custom one.
• Social Bookmarking - Helps visitors to my site to bookmark, digg etc. any of my posts easily and quickly.
• Mighty Adsense Hitter (I prefer this one rather than Adsense Deluxe as it has managed to produce more adsense income for me. This wordpress plugin lets you display adsense in your blog posts without modifying your wordpress template. However, you can check out other adsense plugins here. May be you do trial and error on what works best for you.
• Kontera Contextual Dynamic Ads plugin for Wordpress - This is really wonderful, relieve you of great headache. Simple as ABC. Install the plugin and pasted the Kontera given script in the box provided. After 12 EST (U.S. time) midnight of the day you added them, your Kontera’s ad will become live!
• Wp-amazon plugin - How about having an amazon product catalogue right from your wordpress? This plugin enables you to select amazon’s products right very easily from the wordpress menu provided. No longer you have to go to amazon.com, copy and paste your affiliate link anymore.
• User Online (measure the magnetic ability of my blog) - comes free with this K3-designed blog as part of the widgets package.

Still confused over all of the above? Don’t worry..at this stage, you have two choices to get out of this mumbo-jumbo and get started right away:

1. Email me for free set up of your wordpress blog including all the main important plugins (fayz[at]syokkahwin.com). But the only thing that I ask of you is to sign up for hosting and domain a/c here or with Hostgator (logo at the top right of this blog); or
2. Read this book by my friend, Gobala Krishnan and set up the whole system yourself (the best thing is that plugins are included for free in the package!). The advantage here is that you will get the knowledge and the technical skills that can last you a life time.
