Welcome to the First part of Lesson 2 - The ECL Series Course -
How to Earn Hundreds of Dollars from Blogging using (Affiliates) Google AdSense.

As I’ve mentioned before, Within the Lesson 1 (Part 2) (How To Target Your Audience) you will examine the following:

  1. Design The Blog.
  2. Good Content and Articles.
  3. E-Marketing your Blog.
  4. Fifty (50) Golden Tips to Make the Best Profitable Blog.
And now..let’s get started...


First, Design Your Blog.

As we said before, there are 2 ways to host blogs. Free hosting and paid hosting. We will explain how to create a blog in the free hosting site, blogger.com.
Go to www.blogger.com. Click on (Create your blog now). A new page will appear titled "Create your account".

Enter your data on the following order:
  1. Choose your name
  2. Enter a password
  3. Retype password
  4. Email address
Mark the "I agree to the Terms of Service" button and click on "Continue". A new page will appear titled "Name your blog"

Enter these data on the following order:
  1. Your Blog Title.
  2. Your Blog address (URL). ex: www.YourBlogName.blogspot.com
  3. The Word Verification.
click on "Continue"

FAQ: When i checked the availability of my blog address I was told this address was already taken!! what can i do?
Try using a dash between the words. ex: www.Your-Blog-Name.blogspot.com. If it is still unavailable, change your blog name.

Note: AdSense do not accept URLs more than 30 letters including (WWW.) and (.com). and of course (.blogspot) so it is better to keep you blog URL less than 13 letter when using blogger.com to fit the required URL length. One other thing, remember what we have said about choosing you blog and domain name? Preferable to choose a Blog name that has a relation with its content. This provides a major effort in its marketing. Also try to keep you domain name same as your Blog Name, easy to remember, and put your main keyword in your domain and blog name.
It now appears that Blogger has a new flagging system that can catch most auto-software trying to set up multiple accounts. As you can no longer use link farms effectively this is a moot point and you should only be creating 3-4 blogs per account. Do not use the same keywords in each blog. IE. Don't create related blogs in each account. If you want ten blogs targeted to 1 niche then put each blog on a separate account.
let's continue...

A new page will appear titled "Choose your blog template". Here you will find a number of ready-made templates, select the template you want. You can preview the template before choosing it, and that is by clicking on "View template", click "Continue".

Next, you will see a page telling you that your blog has been created and you can start writing your first post.

The Dashboard

Before you publish your first post, it is necessary to identify the dashboard so you can change your blog properties as you like.

In the dashboard, there is a link named "Create a Blog". and it is the possibility of creating another blog with the same user id, so can the create more that a Blog. also in the Dashboard a link named "Edit Profile" Which enable you to add, delete, or modify your personal information and your photo too.

The Edit user profile page.

There is Privacy in this page which able to control the privacy of your data by preventing the appearance of your Profile Page.

Note: It is not important to fill in your profile page. also you can prevent the appearance of it by removing the mark in front of "Share my profile"

The Settings.

In the Dashboard you will find the name of the blog you created. beside it you will find a button named "New Post". by clicking on it you will be able to write your new posts and publish it. beside "New Post" you will find another link named "Settings". by clicking in it, a page will appear with two bars, the first include (Posting - Settings - Layout - Monetize). the second changes depending on each section.

Note: After making any change in the settings, Click on "Save settings".

And now lets talk about the Settings Bar which includes:

1. Basic

In the basic bar you will find...
  1. Title: To change your blog title.
  2. Description: To change your blog description.
  3. Add your blog to our listing?: If you choose "Yes", then you allow Blogger to list your blog within the other blogs so others can check it out.

And now,..let’s get started...

Firstly, Choosing good Niche for your Blog.

Before starting your blog, you have to take some time to choose the subject of your blog which must be compatible with Google AdSense. Many blogger don't make lots of money from there blogs and this is due to:

  1. The Non-well Selection of their blogs subjects which don't bring them many expensive ads for there blogs.
  2. There failure to follow the ways of marketing.

Therefore, Scientists developed a way of marketing called "Article Marketing". This science is specializing in choosing an attractable content, and writing it to conform with a process called SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Especially the On Page Optimization which is everything that have a relation with keywords. Of course, we will speak in detail on the Search Engine Optimization, but in other posts.

The selection of the blog subject is considered the most important point to start this project. Preferably before starting of a blog to choose the subject that holds your interest, and have a great experience with. And Most important of all, enthusiasm for the topic to continue. Most of the blogs have been stopped because their owners miss the enthusiasm for their topic after two or three months.

In order not to lose the enthusiasm, you have to ask yourself some questions before considering the selection of the subject.

You can find these questions in this topic:
The following list is the Best Ideas for an Ideal Profitable Blog.
  • Blog devoted to talk about making money from Internet
  • Technology and computers
  • Core courses in the computer
  • Investment and Real Estate Marketing
  • Cooking Secrets & Conditions
  • Problems and Solutions
  • Full Forum
  • Street Children
  • Health care for pregnant women
  • Decorate the house
To Be Continued in an other post...

It is not necessary for the subject of your blog to be similar to these ideas. As if you copied the market leaders' ideas, you will increase their strength and weaken yours.

And now, How to find Articles for your blog?

Of course, the best way to write articles is to write it from your own thoughts of imitation,..But if you want to know how to find free articles for your blog ...

Search Engines and Directories: Use your favorite search engine such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. Type the name of the topic that you would like to be your blog, Example: "Sports News". You will find thousands of sites which speaks on the Sports News. Copy the most important topics and past it in a Word file. Collect the most important pieces of information and rewrite them to make them better coordinated. Add some of articles, Constitution and ideas you see on this subject so it is looks like a new subject and not a copied one. Make at least 10 articles with this way so you can publish one article every day to bring you new AdSense ads frequently.

Forums: You can search the forums itself. You'll find a thousand posts on the subject you want. Read it and do the same steps in the Search Engines and Directories.

Blogs: You can search for topics for your blog on other blogs as there are hundreds of blogs talking about the same topic of yours. You can search these blogs and take ideas and excerpts, but beware of taking a replica, as Google may ignore your site and close your account later.

Collects the best articles you find, read them and do the same steps in Search Engines and Directories, or you can copy the HTML code in the e-Zine and paste it in your blog, include the URL to the real author's site.
