Hey, So I am fairly new to this whole thing and I am trying to mix and match different methods on this site. First thing I have done is creat a blog. I've not done much in way of monetizing this site yet but have made a good start. ( I think!!) Anyway, I would love your thoughts on what I have done so far. Link is h..p://wp.me/p2NcK4-7 Any comments suggestions or pointers would be great! Mark.
Dude, I'd start by reading a few hundred posts from this forum. There is a wealth of information here from all the pros.
I would suggest to do some keyword research and get a domain name .com/net/org should be good. Free is an option but you own nothing of your content. Use namecheap to register as it provides free Whois protection. Also now with the recent updates its good to create a blog with a niche that you know and love. This way you will always update it (so mr.g00gle will love you) and enjoy it at the same time. Creating a blog about making money while you ask the same thing is not the wisest thing, but you can always outsource the articles so its up to you.
uberfly makes a good point -- before doing anything & wasting money with techniques you don't fully understand, READ. Also, mixing and matching isn't the best way to go most of the time to start. You need to gain enough knowledge on ONE method, and start implementing it until it makes money. If you spread your time around to a lot of different ideas, time is wasted and everything gets a percentage of the care it needs to flourish. Just trying to help you succeed, which is all we care about here! Good luck!
I really think you should get a design theme custom tailored to how you want to present yourself to your readers. This involves some psychological researching, but it will pay off in the end. As for content wise, the same goes for that. Money method could be cpa and affiliate sign ups, adsense, or simply renting out blog space to individuals. If you need free help on figuring out keywords or additional setup, you can pm me. I'll give you a report each from Compete, SEMRush, MajesticSEO, SEOMoz, so you can find out how your competition is doing and make a decent projection plan. Finally, I will even throw in a few bonuses only for you if you can come up with a decent content, and game plan you are going to follow.

So you better hunker down and do your own research. Nobody is going to help you.
