Blog - Make Money Online From Your Armchair

Want to become a blog millionaire? Blogging is a great home business. Not only can you make money from your armchair, but starting is easy... just start.

Yes - start. Starting intimidates blogging newbies, but you can only learn how to blog by blogging. In the days, weeks and months you spend "learning", you could be making money. This is because blogging is experiential: you can only learn by doing.

Every niche (topic area) is different, and you'll need different techniques to get traffic and income, so if the idea of blogging intrigues you - start, don't wait.

How to Get Started - Use Blogger

Almost every blogger has used Google's Blogger platform at some stage, and many experienced bloggers have many blogs on that platform, so don't feel that you need to buy a domain name and install WordPress before you start to blog.

Yes, WordPress is great, and you will eventually want to move to WordPress or another Content Management System like Joomla, but since you can create a Blogger blog in less an a minute, use that.

For your first blog, choose a topic you enjoy writing about. Your "starter" blog is exactly that. Chances are you'll create several blogs before you hit on a topic which is not only easy and exciting for you, but which draws a lot of traffic and makes you a great income.

Among my blogging students, my biggest headache is convincing them that you can't make a mistake blogging. Every blog you create, and each post you write, teaches you something. And the more you learn, the closer you are to creating a great blog.

A Warning - Stick to the Point

Most of any blog's traffic comes directly from the search engines. This means that you need to focus your blog. Don't create an "everything" blog, writing about sports, your life, your kids, politics, and vacations, because you have no hope of getting traffic from the search engines.

Stick to a single topic, and don't consider writing about yourself. In our example above, your blog could be about basketball or any other sport. If you wanted to write about politics, create another blog. Ditto if you wanted to write about great vacation spots.

Stick to the point, and you'll get traffic.

You can turn a blog into a great home business, and make money every day from your armchair... just start.

Get Money With Bux

How Bux.to works

Bux.to is NOT a Autosurf, Multi-Level Marketing, Pyramid, Ponzi, Matrix or "Get Rich Quick" scheme.

Bux.to is a new innovative, international and FREE English based service that allows advertisers to reach thousands of potential customers by displaying their ad on our, "Surf Ads" page. A exact calculated percentage of all advertising revenue is paid to our members. Bux.to makes money via advertising, other advertising sources throughout the website as well as earning through direct sponsorship of other Bux.to members, just like a regular member does.

How you make money
You view websites in 30 second sessions via the "Surf Ads" page. Once the 30 seconds is up, you'll either get a green tick sign or a red 'X'. The green tick sign means you've earned $0.01 and as premium member $0.0125 for the visit and the 'X' means you have not earned money for the visit. You'll get red X's when you have more than one website from the "Surf Ads" page open. When this happens, you get no credit.

A valuable benefit to both the members and the advertisers is the repeat exposure that the advertiser gets. Whenever you click and view a website, you can visit that website again in 24 hours as long as the visit cap hasn't been reached. That's right! After 24 hours you can click and view the website again. This gives the advertiser optimal exposure by using "repeat advertising" and it further increases the members earning potential.

Earnings example (based on current averages)
» You click 10 ads per day = $0.10
» 20 referrals click 10 ads per day = $2.00
» Your daily earnings = $2.10
» Your weekly earnings = $14.70
» Your monthly earnings = $63.00

although, we cannot guarantee that you will earn such a profit.

While we have no way of knowing how many ads will be available on a per week basis, we do know that Bux.to is growing rapidly and advertisers are discovering the true potential of our service. We've just started and our advertiser base is small so BE PATIENT! Over the next coming months you will see an increase in the ads which will only increase your earnings! This is not a get-rich-scheme or scam, but it can put some extra gas money in your pocket!

Finding The Best Franchise Startup For You

It would be a good idea for you to open a franchise if you want to be self-employed but want to get into the industry with a business that is already a recognized one.

Franchises are of three kinds consisting of services, products and wholesale distribution. There are certain factors which you will have to take into account before deciding on the type of best franchise startup you should open. These factors include the things you like to do, the amount of capital you have and your experience in the industry.

So if you want to start a new franchise then you will find the following information useful and informative:

1. Interest - The first and foremost thing which you need to do is find out where your interest lies. You have to think of this very carefully because you should be interested in working in the franchise that you are planning open.

2. Type - Secondly, you have to decide (before you carry out your franchise start up plan) on the kind of franchise that you want to open. As discussed above, franchises are of three kinds and you should find out which kind of franchise is suitable for you. Of course, the kind of franchise you open would depend on the first point that I mentioned above, i.e. it will depend on your interest.

3. Capital - I am sure you know that you would need quite a huge amount of money to pay as a one time fee to the company or firm whose franchise you want to buy. Such a sum will not be paid back to you in the future. You have to decide from where you would obtain this lump sum for your best franchise start up.

4. Plan - Having a properly plan is of utmost importance if you want your new franchise business to carry on smoothly. Plan in advance so that you won't get in to any kind of problems in the future.

5. Selection of site - You should have site in mind where you intend to open the franchise. If you have a property of your own then you can open the franchise in that property otherwise you would have to look for a property to run the franchise.

6. Compliance with all legal formalities - Starting a business will require you to comply with all legal formalities. You would have to prepare documents as required by law and fulfill all the necessary requirements.

7. Placing ads - It is not possible for you to run the franchise alone. You will need help and for this you can ask your family members to help you or you can place an advertisement on newspapers to attract potential employees for the jobs.

8. Training - Having selected the candidates for work, you will have to determine whether they will require any kind of training or not. If you feel that training them would be important then you would have to provide the necessary training.

9. Managing the business - Do you have the skills and knowledge required to manage the business? You may be the owner but it is not necessary that you have the skills required to run the business. If that's the case then you can appoint a manager with the required skills and knowledge to run the business for you on your behalf.

10. Dedication and hard work - Last but not the least, you and your team would have to work hard to achieve success and carry on the
