Blogging In T.O.

Good-day Toronto Marketers
Time to to hit the market. If you have already set up a Gmail Account,
that is great, if you haven't just do a search for "gmail" and sign up.
Once you have made a Gmail account, you can set up other gmail accounts for
various purposes.

Once you log into your account you will see at the very top left of the
browser- Gmail, Calendar, Documents, Reader, Web, More. Now press MORE,
Then press Even More and it will take you to the More Google Products
page. Over to right of the page you will see an icon for Blogger in Orange.

You have to go through the "Get Started" page and sign up,the log-in and
password for your blogger account will be the same as your Gmail log-in
password details. At the bottom of the page are some great tutorials.

Once you have completed your set-up account, log-in to blogger and it will
bring you to the dashboard page. On the right side of the page it will say
"create a Blog" highlighted in blue.
The next page will ask you to name your blog and name for Blog Url in the
box that says Blog Address. Make up a name yourself and see if it is
available.
You may want to name it after your street- yonge street or
dufferin blogger, or the type of business or service you or planning on doing.
You may also call it Toronto Dad/Mom blogger. In the tutorial it show you
how to upload and image.

Start writing and don't worry too much about content for now, just start
doing it and add some pictures from you computer. Once you are comfortable
with your content, send it to a family and friends and ask them to view it
and add comments if they wish.

If you want to feature some related ads in your blog, go back to your
Gmail account and follow the same prompts as you did earlier and this
will take you to adsense. Sign up and add the same details and you will
be assigned a number for your adsense account.
Go back to blogger in the design stage and look for Monetize, or on your
dashboard panel you see the Monetize, press monetize and it will ask you
where you want the ads to show up on your blog. Make your selection and
press next and you are done.

Review the ads and you place them where you want on your blog. This is
great for additional income when someone presses on these ads. Be careful not
not to press the ads yourself, and do not tellyour family friends to press
them- they have to press them on their own if they find something
interesting.Each time someone follows the ads, you get paid, it's not that
much, but think of the possibilities if you had more blogs with more ads.
You are now a landlord of internet property.

There are more ads you can insert into your blog, like Amazon and Clickbank
and i have all three in by blog. Sign up for both, it is free. Go to Amazon.com
and look for Amazon Affiliates sign up and follow the instruction to sign
up. Also go to Clickbank.com and follow the sign up instructions.

Amazon has some great gadgets that you easily import into your blog.
If you have any questions on any problems your encounter, just ad a comment
and i hope this little lesson has helped you get started.
thanks
