Decide the theme of your Blog

You have already created a blog, and now what you should do? Write your posts. But firstly, you have to decide what theme is your blog. Like I said before, you can start with everything close to your life. It is ok, to talk about what education, about food you like, about books you have read or whatever.

Theme is very important. It is similar like a store. If we need a dictionary, we go to the bookstore. If we need vegetables, we go to the grocery, right?

As for me, I studied German and teach German. So I write down about German grammar. I started this blog since 2009, and now the visitors are more than 36.000 clicks. Creating blogger in blogspot is free and PR (Page Rank) is zero, but now my blog about German lessons www.les-bahasa-jerman.blogspot.com gets PR 1. I am so happy with that.

I know, people would like to know me, and I like to share people what I have done in my life. So I have other blog under my own name. Actually, this is the first I have :). Some people visit my blog because of the curious to know me, or they found something interesting in my blog. 

So decide your theme is very important step. Especially, if you want to make money from blog. Because once your blog ready, you will register your blog under one theme or some related themes.

Create blog to share your ideas

Now you have already ideas, what you will write. But where you will write down your ideas, and more important thing, how people know about your ideas? And how you will get money from your ideas?

Blog is one of the answers. But, what is blog?

A blog (a blend of the term web log) is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

Which blog you can use? There are some, such as blogger like I use now. Or wordpress, but I prefer blogger, because it is easier for me. Wordpress is good, too. Just blogger is easier for me. 

Okay, just check the website of those blogs and then create blog(s). I will tell you other side to earn money from you blogs. Good luck.

Where to start

If you want to make money online, and you feel you don't have any special knowledge or you don't know where to start, it's better to learn something new or improve your knowledge that you have already.

You can start from in which field you are interested or mastered. Like me. I am a teacher from a reputable university. So I go for teaching after graduation. However I don't like to go to school. I would like to teach a big crowd. So the best place is to teach or to write something online, in internet!!

You can start from something simple, like how to cook delicious food from simple ingredients. Or how to manage money in household. Or write a review some products you use in the office, at home, or in traveling. You can write also about article, books or brochure you have ever read. Try the simplest things and from the closest with your life. And then go professional :) 

Why I want to Work at Home

It;s my dream since teenager to work at home. My family is a traditional family such as, father is one who is responsible for family. He works and the salary is for family. But on the other hand, my grandpa was a bit modern for his era. He allowed the daughters to go to school and gave them some life skills like sewing, cooking and baking. So in the future, my aunties can earn money, even they are just at home. And now, they are old and their kids already grown up and earn money for themselves and even give some amounts to the parents (my uncles and aunties), they still can earn money or share their skills for community. People trust them to do something.

In short, I would like to be like them. Well, now is the technology era. And I have no special skills like cooking, baking or sewing. I can cook, bake and sew, but I have no professional skills like them. So I choose to earn money from blogging and uploading something into internet. 

In other upcoming posts, I will post about the possibility to make money online and offline.
