Alright, a blog is a diary… theoretically. After all, it is short for “web log”. This does not mean you have to treat it like your kid-sister treats hers: with great dedication at times, only to forget about it again for days/weeks in a row.

Some of you may have guessed by now that this blog deals mostly (for now) with making money online. This means that every day I need to come up with something creative to say about this topic. Thankfully, it’s not too difficult considering there is an ever increasing number of programs available to make money online. However, properly looking into these monetization opportunities does take time.

Because of saying something useful in a blog post is, in my mind, more important than just saying anything at all it is nice to know that a majority of readers prefer at least 1 post per day.

A little while ago I wrote an article on Self Promotion, but basically promotion yourself in our modern world stands equal with promoting a blog. Blogs are used by everyone, from stay-at-home-moms to top CEOs. Obviously, with milions of blogs out there, one must be pretty decent at promoting it to get a decent readership.

A first step to promoting a blog is actually writing something worth reading. It’s easier said than done, but once you become a “recognized expert” in your own little cozy niche, you can count on developing a solid blog subscriber base.

Moving on to our next strategy is linking. Yes, be generous and be rewarded is the universal blogging rule. You link to someone, and by sending a backtrack they will (usually) link back to you. Some bloggers disable the trackback function, and I’m sure they have their reasons, even though the web can only be a true web if people link to other people. Blogging makes exactly this so tremendously easy and convenient. This is not a guarantee for page ranking though. Recently “no follow” has stopped bloggers from “spreading the love” as they have in the past.
