How to make money online and quit your 9to5 job

There are two names pops in anyone mind when somebody says “Blogging”.

Blogger and Wordpress

Actually it’s quite wrong to say one is better than other. Both have their fan base, you will hear both screams "blogger sucks" ,"wordpress sucks" in blogosphere. But the truth is both are excellent tools for blogging . Now without any further ado I will point the main advantages of these blogging tools:

Blogger :

Blogger is more targeted towards newbie’s with very little exposure of blogging or internet. You just sign up, add couple of posts, add gadgets and you are done. Its interference is quite simple. There is no headache of installing gadgets , scripts ,templates etc. Everything is done with one click.

Wordpress :

Wordpress is mainly targeted towards people with some or complete understanding of blogging. You have to install scripts to your server and then you can start blogging. You have to install scripts, templates etc. It can be difficult for a person who just started blogging or is going for his/her first post. But nowadays most of the hosting services has "Fantastico" which makes installation of wordpress a “kid task” . Even then you are new to the world of blogging I would recommend you to go for Blogger.

So do you have local blog ? By that I mean targeted at particular region covering news or events in your cities for which you want local traffic. You have to go through different approach in case of the local blogs. Here are some methods to promote your local blog effectively.

• Facebook ,myspace : Many social networking websites nowadays provide inbuilt blogging tools to blog so you didn't need to sign up for services like blogger etc. Social networking websites are great because you know you can keep in touch with people 24/7 and alert them whenever you post about local event.

• Local Newspaper or magazine can also work great for getting local traffic.

• Paid per click advertising works great for getting highly targeted traffic. For local blog it is extremely effective but you have to extra careful with keywords because any visitor out of local region may be completely useless for you.

• Classified ads : many classified ads have option to target the particular region .Also look out for directories too.
  

Getting attracted to this huge figure ? A lot of people are making money by taking surveys , email readings etc. And now after the recession has hit the whole world market , lower the job opportunities and lot of other negative consequences. Almost everyone want to make more than they earn in their 9to5 jobs and most of them think easy way to go is “making money online opportunities”.
If you really want to make something bigger then the best choice is affiliate marketing(selling other people stuff and getting commission ). The affiliate marketing seems simple from outside , it looks like two step process “advertise and sell” but unfortunately the process isn’t that simple , otherwise everybody in this world had become a millionaire by now . So there must be something fishy going around this AM . But the things that will decide whether you are going to make money or loose what you have depends on proper guidance and decisions you take. Affiliate marketing is not something you do a google search ,read it and woo!!! start making millions . What you really need is proper guidance and consistency . You may face difficulties in starting it , you may even loose some money. So if you encounter ads like “ single moms making money” or “make million in next 5 minute” then beware you may be loosing money instead of making any ,but that doesn’t mean everything online is scam. There are systems that work but the problem is you have to find the system that works for you. Online world is not very much different from offline world ,you will find crooks ,scammers , cool people . So here are some simple steps to start making money .

1. Get proper guidance .
2. If you want to earn big bucks then open your wallet
3. Don’t get blinded by every opportunity .Find what works for you .
4. Start with small budget and then start scaling .

Remember if 1000 people are losing money due to recession then there is 1 making money from it .
