    Hi,First of all my nickname is Mrshhh but the shhh is for me cause I usually talk to much :D
    I'm new here and there are some things that I want to ask.

    I've seen millions of ways to make this specific amount of money but I liked the way with opening my own blog/website,I'm sure that I can run A few basics stuff like WordPress or basic site temples and I acutully have a good idea for my blog [TV series] but I was thinking if my only goal of the blog is making money,how long I'll make money if I'll dedicate to the blog?
    And some one can just point me a good hosting & domain place

    And you guys thing that I should opwn more then 1 blog to reach my goal?




    **The red part is the important one feel free to skip the rest if you are ina hurry :D

    Creating a blog only for the purpose of making money online is never a good idea.
    Do something you like doing and do it better than everyone else, only then will you start seeing an income way above
    that tiny $20/day.

    I'm willing to dedicate and be the best [If I'm lucky],altough I don't want to buy 6 months hosting plan because I don't want to waste so much money,So I'll be happy if I will be able to cover the monthly fees or just some.

    So how much do you asume that I'll get monthly? [asuming that it is a fine blog and I'll do everything by the book]

    It takes a lot of hard work and determination to be able to earn $20 a day, but once you're earning $20 a day then there's no reason why you can't start earning $200 a day. People earn thousands of dollars online building blogs and websites but it depends on how much time you're willing to commit to profiting from something you enjoy doing.

    It could take you a year or even more until you start seeing $20 a day - if you have a unique idea then you could even start earning this amount within a week or less.

    It took me 1 month to earn $10 from my first blog.
    It took me 1 month to earn $2000 from my most recent blog.

    It all depends on your marketing skills, blog niche, dedication and originality.
    Don't expect to earn a lot in the beginning. And re-invest your money to make more money.

    NO ONE can say how much you will make, it ALL depends on YOU.

    Yes, you can use the wordpress but domain name need to be 6 month old to qualify the google adsense basic requirement. You can also try to sell the banner space on your blog once your domain receive the good traffic .... Best of Luck :)

    This depends entirely on how you present the blog and promote it. What niche will the blog be in and what keywords will you target? These questions always come into play because you want your blog to be visible in the SERPs, and the only way it will be visible is if you know what keywords you want to rank for. If you want the blog to be profitable then you need to plan out the content as well. You want to make your blog well known in the niche you're going to be in.

    I recommend HostGator and NameCheap.

    Yes, after getting the first blog up and earning you an income. Go out and build another one or two to increase your online income.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    At least you're setting yourself a realistic target of $20 a day and not $100+ a day which is unrealistic and even I don't make that and I've been doing IM since May 2010.

    If it's a blog you're wanting to start out with then, there are two options the free or the paid option. I would stick with the free method at the start until you're familiar with how things work.

    # Open a free Blogger or WP account
    # Decide what you want to start writing about and preferably something that you like
    # Join affiliate programs like Affiliate Window, Amazon, Clickbank, CJ..........
    # Make sure your blogs are accurate and over 300 words
    # Ping your blogs and use a feed for quicker indexing with Google

    If you decide to promote affiliate items via your blog then, try to choose items that are relatively new to the marketplace and only select items that have low competition using a keyword tool like the free one at Google.

    All the Best

    It depends on the effort you exert on your blog but first your should increase the traffic of your site before you are going to apply for adsense so you can easily approved.

    I totally agree , you will spend a lot on this blog actually to get your 1st earnings , so you should keep that in mind , also you must have the free time to run it.

    The sky is the limit when it comes to your earning potential but it has a lot to do with how much time and effort and love you will be putting into it.
    Here are 3 examples of blogs which are making their owners 6 figures a year or even 7:

    Problogger
    Social Media Examiner
    CopyBlogger

    Now, if you notice, they all have a few common traits:
    1.The content is unique and top quality
    2.They all have large lists of subscribers, ad they keep building them
    3.They post very frequently, at least once a day and sometimes even more often
    4.They have a team of writers (it's very hard for one person to create top quality content on a daily basis)
    5.They all sell products - ebooks, software, seminars, courses - as it's hard to rely only on advertising

    My advice to you is first to have a job and not to depend on your blog as your main income.
    The reason being is that if you're desperate for money you will make wrong decisions. You will promote bad products to
    your list just to make the commission and you'll write bad content just to keep posting.

    Once you've got the financial issue out of the way, decide what it is you're really passionate about, and I mean passionate in a way that you can't stop thinking of
    ideas for articles, they just keep coming to you.

    Now at that point I'd advice you to invest in a professional blogging course. There are many great ones out there but I'd find a blog which I love and see if they offer a course.
    You can get courses for $197 or even less. These sites offer quality courses, in my views, and they are worth a visit: Think Traffic, Social Media Examiner, Problogger, blogmarketingacademy.com. There are many more.

    If you can't afford a course I'd simply start blogging and engaging with other bloggers on Twitter, Triberr and by commenting on other blogs. I'd focus on two things: Quailty and quantity. At least 3 posts a week, that's what you want to aim for. Plan out your content in advance, even a month in advance, so you don't get behind your schedule.

    As you grow, good things will start happening to you. Other bloggers will ask to write guest post for you, you might be approached by the media and asked to do speaking and consulting gigs. You will be able to monetize the blog with different techniques such as selling advertising space and selling your (or others') product to your list.

    But please, don't be tempted to start another blog before you really get this blog working smoothly. By that I mean that you have a system in place and you and your team of writers manage to write content on time and your blog brings you consistent income. Don't spread yourself thin!
    There are many free resources where you can learn about blogging, including:

    Traffic Generation Cafe
    Problogger
    John Chow

    All the best
    :)

    My best advice is to do some market research. Go on google keyword tool and type away with brain storming ideas... they will give you hints and clues on niches you had no idea had absolutely no competition and you can easily rank for and generate some traffic to your blog. Start off by typing niches you would not mind writing articles on daily.

    I agree with this 100%. Unless you are very skillful, and hardworking, you can't expect to earn much, unless of course you are very very lucky ;)
