I came across a news article few weeks ago about making money online.

The news headline is: Cost $0, Monthly sales $10,000

What really impressed me was the online business is actually run by a teenager – Ruth Chua !

She started the business as a hobby and she never expect to do so well.

So what is her business? Bascially, she sells things like kitschy clothes and handmade accessories on her blog. I could not really find her blog through google, I wonder why?

The news article also mentioned another teenager who does the same business. Here is the link http://mynt-shop.livejournal.com/

Setting up a blog is free and everybody can do it. I too have several blogs making me money online. One of them is savingtipssg.blogspot.com. My blog is on tips on how to save money in Singapore and I made money from this blog from Adsense.  If you want to know how to make money from Adsense, download my free ebook here.

You can download the full news article here.

Here are the steps that I took:

1) Sign up for a domain from a web host. I got mine from IXWebhosting. See my review on IXWebhosting.

2) Depending on your webhost, you can use the built in feature in the control panel to automatically install the wordpress for you. You have to check with you webhost.

3) Just follow the steps here to setup your wordpress blog. Do not miss any steps!

4) Once you can login to wordpress then you are in business. If you encounter any problem during the login, it could be your MYSQL not setup properly as wordpress uses MYSQL database. Check your wp-config.php to see if it points to the correct database name, user and password.

The default theme for a new wordpress blog is quite simple. I got mine free from gathersuccess.com

You can see that my theme is optimised to help me make money and drive traffic to my site. There are 6 slots of 125×125 banner ads that I can use to monetise my blog. If you are interested to advertise here, just click here.

I have also used a few plugins to help my blog rank well in search engine and make money as well.

The plugins are

Adsense Deluxe

After spending 2 years gathering information about internet marketing, I finally want to start my own blog so that I can share with the readers my experience in internet marketing.

I got most of the information about internet marketing, affiliate marketing, pay per click marketing, traffic generation, blogging etc through self learning. Internet is a great place to find such information.

And if you want to know why I want to find such information, check me out.

This blog will mainly focus on stuffs related to internet marketing, affiliate marketing, pay per click marketing, traffic generation, blogging etc.
