How You Make Money in Forex

In the forex market, you buy or sell currencies.

Placing a trade in the foreign exchange market is simple: the mechanics of a trade are very similar to those found in other markets (like the stock market), so if you have any experience in trading, you should be able to pick it up pretty quickly.

The object of forex trading is to exchange one currency for another in the expectation that the price will change, so that the currency you bought will increase in value compared to the one you sold.

Example:

Trader's Action	EUR	USD
You purchase 10,000 euros at the EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.1800	+10,000	-11,800
Two weeks later, you exchange your 10,000 euros back into U.S. dollar at the exchange rate of1.2500	-10,000	+12,500**
You earn a profit of $700	0	+700

*EUR 10,000 x 1.18 = US $11,800

** EUR 10,000 x 1.25 = US $12,500

An exchange rate is simply the ratio of one currency valued against another currency. For example, the USD/CHF exchange rate indicates how many U.S. dollars can purchase one Swiss franc, or how many Swiss francs you need to buy one U.S. dollar.

How to Read a Forex Quote

Currencies are always quoted in pairs, such as GBP/USD or USD/JPY. The reason they are quoted in pairs is because in every foreign exchange transaction, you are simultaneously buying one currency and selling another. Here is an example of a foreign exchange rate for the British pound versus the U.S. dollar:

The first listed currency to the left of the slash ("/") is known as the base currency (in this example, the British pound), while the second one on the right is called the counter or quote currency (in this example, the U.S. dollar).

When buying, the exchange rate tells you how much you have to pay in units of the quote currency to buy one unit of the base currency. In the example above, you have to pay 1.51258 U.S. dollars to buy 1 British pound.

When selling, the exchange rate tells you how many units of the quote currency you get for selling one unit of the base currency. In the example above, you will receive 1.51258 U.S. dollars when you sell 1 British pound.

The base currency is the "basis" for the buy or the sell. If you buy EUR/USD this simply means that you are buying the base currency and simultaneously selling the quote currency. In caveman talk, "buy EUR, sell USD."

You would buy the pair if you believe the base currency will appreciate (gain value) relative to the quote currency. You would sell the pair if you think the base currency will depreciate (lose value) relative to the quote currency.

Long/Short

First, you should determine whether you want to buy or sell.

If you want to buy (which actually means buy the base currency and sell the quote currency), you want the base currency to rise in value and then you would sell it back at a higher price. In trader's talk, this is called "going long" or taking a "long position." Just remember: long = buy.

If you want to sell (which actually means sell the base currency and buy the quote currency), you want the base currency to fall in value and then you would buy it back at a lower price. This is called "going short" or taking a "short position". Just remember: short = sell.

"I'm long AND short."

Bid/Ask

"How come I keep getting quoted with two prices?"

All forex quotes are quoted with two prices: the bid and ask. For the most part, the bid is lower than the ask price.

The bid is the price at which your broker is willing to buy the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. This means the bid is the best available price at which you (the trader) will sell to the market.

The ask is the price at which your broker will sell the base currency in exchange for the quote currency. This means the ask price is the best available price at which you will buy from the market. Another word for ask is the offer price. The difference between the bid and the ask price is popularly known as thespread.

On the EUR/USD quote above, the bid price is 1.34568 and the ask price is 1.34588. Look at how this broker makes it so easy for you to trade away your money.

If you want to sell EUR, you click "Sell" and you will sell euros at 1.34568. If you want to buy EUR, you click "Buy" and you will buy euros at 1.34588.

So now we know that the London session is the busiest out of all the other sessions, but there are also certain days in the week where all the markets tend to show more movement.

Below is a chart of average pip range for the major pairs for each day of the week:

Pair Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
EUR/USD 69 109 142 136 145 144
GBP/USD 73 149 172 152 169 179
USD/JPY 41 65 82 91 124 98
AUD/USD 58 84 114 99 115 111
NZD/USD 28 81 98 87 100 96
USD/CAD 43 93 112 106 120 125
USD/CHF 55 84 119 107 104 116
EUR/JPY 19 133 178 159 223 192
GBP/JPY 100 169 213 179 270 232
EUR/GBP 35 74 81 79 75 91
EUR/CHF 35 55 55 64 87 76
As you can see from the chart above, it would probably be best to trade during the middle of the week, since this is when the most action happens.

Fridays are usually busy until 12pm EST and then the market pretty much drops dead until it closes at 5:00 pm EST. This means we only work half-days on Fridays.

The weekend always starts early! Yippee!

So based on all these, we've learned when the busiest times of the market are. The busiest times are the best times to trade because they give you a higher chance of success.

Managing Yo Time Wisely

Unless you're Edward Cullen, who does not sleep, there is no way you can trade all sessions. Even if you could, why would you? While the forex market is open 24 hours daily, it doesn't mean that action happens all the time!

Besides, sleep is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle!

You need sleep to recharge and have energy so that you can do even the most mundane tasks like mowing the lawn, talking to your spouse, taking the dog for a walk, or organizing your stamp collection. You'll definitely need your rest if you plan on becoming a hotshot trader.

Each trader should learn when to trade.

Actually, scratch that.

Each trader should know when and when NOT to trade.

Knowing the optimal times you should trade and the times when you should sit out and just play some Plants vs. Zombies can help save you a pound of moolah (pun intended).




Here's a quick cheat sheet of the best and worst times to trade:

Best Times to Trade:

When two sessions are overlapping of course! These are also the times where major news events come out to potentially spark some volatility and directional movements. Make sure you bookmark the Market Hours cheat sheet to take note of the Opening and Closing times.
The European session tends to be the busiest out of the three.
The middle of the week typically shows the most movement, as the pip range widens for most of the major currency pairs.
Worst Times to Trade:

Sundays - everyone is sleeping or enjoying their weekend!
Fridays - liquidity dies down during the latter part of the U.S. session.
Holidays - everybody is taking a break.
Major news events - you don't want to get whipsawed!
During American Idol, the NBA Finals, or the Superbowl.
Can't seem to trade during the optimal sessions? Don't fret. You can always be a swing or position trader. We'll get back to that later.

When Can You Trade Forex?

Trading Sessions


Now that you know what forex is, why you should trade it, and who makes up the forex market, it's about time you learned when you can trade.

Yes, it is true that the forex market is open 24 hours a day, but that doesn't mean it's always active the whole day.

You can make money trading when the market moves up, and you can even make money when the market moves down.

BUT you will have a very difficult time trying to make money when the market doesn't move at all.

And believe us, there will be times when the market is as still as the victims of Medusa. This lesson will help determine when the best times of the day are to trade.




Market Hours


Before looking at the best times to trade, we must look at what a 24 hour day in the forex world looks like.

The forex market can be broken up into four major trading sessions: the Sydney session, the Tokyo session, the London session, and the New York session. Below is a table of the open and close times for each session:

Time Zone EST GMT

Sydney Open 5:00 PM 10:00 PM

Sydney Close 2:00 PM 7:00 AM

Tokyo Open 7:00 PM 12:00 AM

Tokyo Close 4:00 AM 9:00 AM

London Open 3:00 AM 8:00 AM

London Close 12:00 PM 5:00 PM

New York Open 8:00 AM 12:00 PM

New York Close 5:00PM 10:00 PM


You can see that in between each session, there is a period of time where two sessions are open at the same time. From 3:00-4:00 am EST, both the Tokyo and London markets are open, and from 8:00-12:00 am EST, both the London and New York markets are open.

Naturally, these are the busiest times during the market because there is more volume when two markets are open at the same time. This makes sense because during those times, all the market participants are wheelin' and dealin', which means that more money is transferring hands.

Let's take a look at the average pip movement of the major currency pairs during each trading session.

Pair Tokyo London New York
EUR/USD 76 114 92
GBP/USD 92 127 99
USD/JPY 51 66 59
AUD/USD 77 83 81
NZD/USD 62 72 70
USD/CAD 57 96 96
USD/CHF 67 102 83
EUR/JPY 102 129 107
GBP/JPY 118 151 132
AUD/JPY 98 107 103
EUR/GBP 78 61 47
EUR/CHF 79 109 84

From the table, you will see that the European session normally provides the most movement.

Let's take a more in depth look at each of the session, as well as those periods when the sessions overlap.

Who Trade FOREX

Forex Market Structure

For the sake of comparison, let us first examine a market that you are probably very familiar with: the stock market. This is how the structure of the stock market looks like:

"I have no choice but to go through a centralized exchange!"

By its very nature, the stock market tends to be very monopolistic. There is only one entity, one specialist that controls prices. All trades must go through this specialist. Because of this, prices can easily be altered to benefit the specialist, and not traders.

How does this happen?

In the stock market, the specialist is forced to fulfill the order of its clients. Now, let's say the number of sellers suddenly exceed the number of buyers. The specialist, which is forced to fulfill the order of its clients, the sellers in this case, is left with a bunch of stock that he cannot sell-off to the buyer side.

In order to prevent this from happening, the specialist will simply widen the spread or increase the transaction cost to prevent sellers from entering the market. In other words, the specialists can manipulate the quotes it is offering to accommodate its needs.

Trading Spot FX is Decentralized

Unlike in trading stocks or futures, you don't need to go through a centralized exchange like the New York Stock Exchange with just one price. In the forex market, there is no single price that for a given currency at any time, which means quotes from different currency dealers vary.

"So many choices! Awesome!"

This might be overwhelming at first, but this is what makes the forex market so freakin' awesome! The market is so huge and the competition between dealers is so fierce that you get the best deal almost every single time. And tell me, who does not want that?

Also, one cool thing about forex trading is that you can do it anywhere. It's just like trading baseball cards. You want that mint condition Mickey Mantle rookie card, so it is up to you to find the best deal out there. Your colleague might give up his Mickey Mantle card for just a Babe Ruth card, but your best friend will only part with his Mickey Mantle rookie card for your soul.

The FX Ladder

Even though the forex market is decentralized, it isn't pure and utter chaos! The participants in the FX market can be organized into a ladder. To better understand what we mean, here is a neat illustration:

At the very top of the forex market ladder is the interbank market. Composed of the largest banks of the world and some smaller banks, the participants of this market trade directly with each other or electronically through the Electronic Brokering Services (EBS) or the Reuters Dealing 3000-Spot Matching.

The competition between the two companies - the EBS and the Reuters Dealing 3000-Spot Matching - is similar to Coke and Pepsi. They are in constant battle for clients and continually try to one-up each other for market share. While both companies offer most currency pairs, some currency pairs are more liquid on one than the other.

For the EBS plaform, EUR/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, EUR/CHF, and USD/CHF are more liquid. Meanwhile, for the Reuters platform, GBP/USD, EUR/GBP, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, and NZD/USD are more liquid.

All the banks that are part of the interbank market can see the rates that each other is offering, but this doesn't necessarily mean that anyone can make deals at those prices.

Like in real life, the rates will largely dependent on the established CREDIT relationship between the trading parties. Just to name a few, there's the "B.F.F. rate," the "customer rate," and the "ex-wife-you-took-everything rate." It's like asking for a loan at your local bank. The better your credit standing and reputation with them, the better the interest rates and the larger loan you can avail.

Next on the ladder are the hedge funds, corporations, retail market makers and retail ECNs. Since these institutions do not have tight credit relationships with the participants of the interbank market, they have to do their transactions via commercial banks. This means that their rates are slightly higher and more expensive than those who are part of the interbank market.

At the very bottom of the ladder are the retail traders. It used to be very hard for us little people to engage in the forex market but, thanks to the advent of the internet, electronic trading, and retail brokers, the difficult barriers to entry in forex trading have all been taken down. This gave us the chance to play with those high up the ladder and poke them with a very long and cheap stick.

Advantages of Forex

There are many benefits and advantages of trading forex. Here are just a few reasons why so many people are choosing this market:

No commissions

No clearing fees, no exchange fees, no government fees, no brokerage fees. Most retail brokers are compensated for their services through something called the "bid-ask spread".

No middlemen

Spot currency trading eliminates the middlemen and allows you to trade directly with the market responsible for the pricing on a particular currency pair.
No fixed lot size

In the futures markets, lot or contract sizes are determined by the exchanges. A standard-size contract for silver futures is 5,000 ounces. In spot forex, you determine your own lot, or position size. This allows traders to participate with accounts as small as $25 (although we'll explain later why a $25 account is a bad idea).

Low transaction costs

The retail transaction cost (the bid/ask spread) is typically less than 0.1% under normal market conditions. At larger dealers, the spread could be as low as 0.07%. Of course this depends on your leverage and all will be explained later.
A 24-hour market

There is no waiting for the opening bell. From the Monday morning opening in Australia to the afternoon close in New York, the forex market never sleeps. This is awesome for those who want to trade on a part-time basis, because you can choose when you want to trade: morning, noon, night, during breakfast, or in your sleep.
No one can corner the market

The foreign exchange market is so huge and has so many participants that no single entity (not even a central bank or the mighty Chuck Norris himself) can control the market price for an extended period of time.

Leverage

In forex trading, a small deposit can control a much larger total contract value. Leverage gives the trader the ability to make nice profits, and at the same time keep risk capital to a minimum.

For example, a forex broker may offer 50-to-1 leverage, which means that a $50 dollar margin deposit would enable a trader to buy or sell $2,500 worth of currencies. Similarly, with $500 dollars, one could trade with $25,000 dollars and so on. While this is all gravy, let's remember that leverage is a double-edged sword. Without proper risk management, this high degree of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.
High Liquidity.

Because the forex market is so enormous, it is also extremely liquid. This means that under normal market conditions, with a click of a mouse you can instantaneously buy and sell at will as there will usually be someone in the market willing to take the other side of your trade. You are never "stuck" in a trade. You can even set your online trading platform to automatically close your position once your desired profit level (a limit order) has been reached, and/or close a trade if a trade is going against you (a stop loss order).
Low Barriers to Entry

You would think that getting started as a currency trader would cost a ton of money. The fact is, when compared to trading stocks, options or futures, it doesn't. Online forex brokers offer "mini" and "micro" trading accounts, some with a minimum account deposit of $25.

We're not saying you should open an account with the bare minimum, but it does make forex trading much more accessible to the average individual who doesn't have a lot of start-up trading capital.
Free Stuff Everywhere!

Most online forex brokers offer "demo" accounts to practice trading and build your skills, along with real-time forex news and charting services.

And guess what?! They're all free!

These are very valuable resources for those who are "financially hampered," but SMART traders who would like to hone their trading skills with "play money" before opening a live trading account and risking real money.

What is Forex?

If you've ever traveled to another country, you usually had to find a currency exchange booth at the airport, and then exchange the money you have in your wallet (if you're a dude) or purse (if you're a lady) or man purse (if you're a metrosexual) into the currency of the country you are visiting.

You go up to the counter and notice a screen displaying different exchange rates for different currencies. You find "Japanese yen" and think to yourself, "WOW! My one dollar is worth 100 yen?! And I have ten dollars! I'm going to be rich!!!" (This excitement is quickly killed when you stop by a shop in the airport afterwards to buy a can of soda and, all of a sudden, half your money is gone.)

When you do this, you've essentially participated in the forex market! You've exchanged one currency for another. Or in forex trading terms, assuming you're an American visiting Japan, you've sold dollars and bought yen.

Before you fly back home, you stop by the currency exchange booth to exchange the yen that you miraculously have left over (Tokyo is expensive!) and notice the exchange rates have changed. It's these changes in the exchanges rates that allow you to make money in the foreign exchange market.

The foreign exchange market, which is usually known as "forex" or "FX," is the largest financial market in the world. Compared to the measly $153 billion a day volume of the New York Stock Exchange, the foreign exchange market looks absolutely ginormous with its $4 TRILLION a day trade volume. Forex rocks our socks!

Let's take a moment to put this into perspective using monsters...

The largest stock market in the world, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), trades a volume of about $74 billion each day. If we used a monster to represent NYSE, it would look like this...

Make Money Blogging 101 - What Every Blogger Needs to Know in Order to Make Big Money With a Blog

There are 3 basic rules to make money blogging. These are simple but complicated in their own right, because they can and should be expanded upon over and over again. Obviously, if you want to be super successful, you're going to have to look into these rules a much deeper, but hopefully this will get you started.

See, I was just like you. A blogger with something to talk about. But I needed money too. We can't just sit in our basements writing all day and expect the cash to flow. That's not how it works.

But what I realized was that the more people who read my blog, the more influence I could have and the more money I could make. That's a win-win situation for everybody. If my blog was just sitting there and nobody was reading it, I wouldn't make any money and nobody would be effected by the words on the page.

So the first rule to make money blogging is: You need traffic/visitors/readers, whatever you want to call it. If you don't have people coming to your blog, then you have nothing but some words on a page that nobody will ever see.

Getting traffic is no easy thing. You can pay for it... but is that really the type of traffic you want to drive to your blog? The absolute best traffic that you can get is from the "natural" search engine listings on Google. You are literally catching people in the act of looking for information. When they find your website, you will be johnny on the spot with the info they were looking for.

Of course, getting on the first page of Google is complicated. But once you learn how to do it correctly, you actually have the upper hand! Because Google absolutely loves blogs. They look at blogs as providing specialized information that their customers are looking for. So you're on the right track. Once you figure out the search engine optimization part, you're way down that track, headed for the gold.

The second rule to make money blogging is: You need great content. You've heard it before, content is king. Really, I think it's one of the 3 kings here, but that's just semantics. But this shouldn't be a problem. You wanted to write a blog in the first place. If you're not really wanting to write, that's not a problem either - there are plenty of cheap workers who will write content for you. Either way, your blog will need great content so Google AND your human visitors will love your website.

The third rule to make money blogging is: You need to monetize your website. Well, duh, you want to make money. So you have to figure out a way to generate income from your visitors. There are 1000 ways to do this. You can sell your own product, sell somebody else's, or even put AdSense on your website so if people click on ads, you get paid.

Out of the 3 of these, there isn't 1 that is the most important. They're all integral parts of the process and you have to do the best you can to maximize and optimize all the of the rules. For example, you can monetize and write content all you want, but if you don't have readers, do you really have anything at all? If you have traffic and content but you haven't figured out a way to turn those readers into traffic, now what do you have? A bunch of satisfied readers and an empty wallet.

So you need to do all 3. And if you're going to make a truckload of money, you need to understand them deeply and implement the CORRECT strategies for success.

How to Make Money Blogging - Monetize Your Blogs

Having fresh and updated content is the number one rule for having an effective blog. Most people start out very motivated to keep their content current, however this enthusiasm can deteriorate and what you left with is something akin to last week's newspaper, irrelevant and outdated. Having a serious professional blog requires that you update it regularly. You are working to have a relationship with your readers and they will expect you to provide insights to your area of expertise.

Just having fresh content is not enough. Junk content will immediately turn away potential subscribers. You should be delivering useful information and you may even offer your opinions on certain subject manner, but using too much jargon, slang, or obscure references is sure way to get people to look elsewhere for the information you say you are providing. Whatever your niche market or audience is keep the comments and content on - point. This is a must in order to grow your readership.

And just what is your niche, or target audience? In order to be successful blogging you must specialize in a particular field of interest. This is paramount to being successful. Identifying your niche will help find your audience. If your target is internet marketing and someone goes to your blog for information, they do not want to read about what you had for breakfast and read your ramblings about how the cook did not make the eggs the way you ordered them.

Be prepared to get comments on your blog posts. Whenever one of your readers takes the time to write a comment it is only right to respond to that person. You are, after all, working to establish relationships with your readers. Be sure to respond in a professional manner without insults.

Keeping your blog updated is not difficult. By keeping yourself informed, you can easily include news and data into your posts and draw similarities to your market. There will be other blogs related to your market, check those out as well, this will help you spot trends in your target audience and help keep you abreast of what is going on around you.

How to Write Good Blog Posts That People Will Flock to Read

No matter what topic you choose to create your blog, you can find fame if you do it right. Blogs are everywhere. It seems almost everyone who is Internet savvy has their own blog. It might be about their own lives, their experiences or for a product, service, information or opinion. Want-to-be authors write novels and short stories. Here are some simple tips you can use to help you write good blog posts that people will flock to read.

The first step is to write a really compelling and interesting blog. If your blog is great reading, people will read it and they will recommend other people read it too. Word of mouth or viral marketing is a fantastic way to get traffic because it's like having a team of people all working for you, but you don't have to pay.

You need to catch your readers attention. Your title and your introductory sentences should draw your readers into your article. You can be clever, funny or intriguing in your title. Let people know what your blog post is about in the first few sentences.

The rest of your post needs to be well written and interesting enough that your readers will stay on the page until the end. Then you want them to keep reading more posts. Of course it's impossible to please every reader that visits your blog, but those that are genuinely interested in your niche topic should have their attention captured enough to want to return.

When thinking about headlines and introductory paragraphs, consider magazines and newspapers, who have people employed just to write these compelling words. They are what sells the paper or magazine. They matter that much. If you think this is important, it is. You need to take the time to learn how copywriters craft dynamic, compelling headlines that cause casual browsers to become buyers.

* The body of your blog post is important as well.
* You should write in a clear, simple manner, without lots of long or jargon words.
* Keep your sentences and paragraphs short and easy to read.
* Use bullets or numbers to emphasize points.
* Stay focused on the subject of your post. If you need to digress, create another post and link it to your original one.
* Don't make your post too long. Break it up into multiple posts if necessary.
* Always re-read what you have written before you post it. Make sure it makes sense and flows logically.
* Check for spelling and grammatical errors.
* Edit your post before publishing it if necessary.
* If time permits, have a friend look over a post you think is particularly important and get feedback.

This is how you make a good blog post. Your first posts are unlikely to make you a famous blogger, or your second or third. Keep adding great posts to your blog as often as possible and you will end up with a great readership if you keep working on your writing.

Writing blog posts is like anything. You get better with practice. Be open to constructive criticism of your writing as it will help you to become a better writer.

Remember the tips given here, promote your blog where ever you can and one day, you will find you are well known in your niche as a great blog writer. Blogging high quality, original content often will bring you a reputation and fame in your chosen topic. Always remember that you are writing for your readers and you want them to be so impressed they will tell their friends to read your posts too.

2 Tips How to Make Money Blogging

Affiliate marketing can be a great source of income for many people as long as you know how to make the whole process work for you. One of the first efforts that you are taught when you begin is that you need to start a blog. Unfortunately, although this is a common aspect of affiliate marketing, there are a lot of people who do not know how to make money blogging through their affiliate products. They assume that a blog is the way that they make their presence known or a way to help other affiliate marketers who are still learning the tricks of the trade. While both things are true, learning how to make money blogging involves so much more than just that.

There is one important thing that you need to know before you start working on following some advice and learning how to make money blogging.

You have to make sure that your blog is getting the most attention, and thereby the most readers. When you boost your traffic, you are also increasing the amount of sales conversions that you have. This is the foundation of how to make money blogging.

1. Recommending and Endorsing Your Products

In figuring out how to make money blogging through affiliate programs, first you need to make sure that you are choosing affiliate products that are beneficial and highly sought after. Products like self-help e-books and computer programs are great ideas. There are so many to choose from that you have near endless possibilities. You should know however, that there are scam products out there that you need to watch out for; you do not want to spend the time marketing a product that turns out to be a huge scam.

That said, the actual effort of how to make money blogging is about recommending and endorsing the affiliate products that you are trying to market. One of the best ways to do this is actually to test the product yourself. Then you can use your personal experiences with the product as part of your effort of using your affiliate product in learning how to make money blogging. The goal is to show your readers that you are trustworthy and honest.

2. Using Affiliate Links

In learning how to make money blogging, you have no doubt learned the importance of using your affiliate links. The affiliate links are the ones that are generated specifically for you by the affiliate programs that you have signed up for. They are a means of tracking the products that you are marketing; your unique affiliate link is a tracer that is based on your affiliate identification. The placement of these links is important. In many e-books available about monetizing your blog, you will find information about using affiliate links, but not about proper placement. Your affiliate links need to be positioned in the hot spots of your blog, such as places where they can easily be seen by people who visit. The most visible locations include the top left side of your blog's home page, as well as the introduction and middle of each posting. Learning how to make money blogging successfully will be largely dependent on this placement.

There are many ways to make money on the internet; it is easy once you get to know how it works.

How to Make Money Blogging

One of the most common questions of the internet today is how to make money blogging. The unfortunate thing about this phenomenon is that there is so much disinformation floating around. The fact of the matter is that most of the blogs that you read do not make very much money. Some reasons for this include the fact that many interesting topics, politics for instance, is not a very marketable niche. And while some individuals in this niche do make a significant amount of money, they are the exception and not the rule.

So you may be asking, exactly how do you make money blogging? There are two ways to do so and each requires a unique game plan and strategy in order to make it a success. Let's take a look at these two methods.

1. Operate an Authority Blog in a Marketable Niche

Some people, JohnChow.com is a good example of this, develop a single (or a handful) site where they write about a monetizable subject. In the case of John Chow, he writes about making money online. And he is able to make money by selling advertising on his blog and by earning affiliate commissions on the products that he recommends to his readers.

An authority blog is one that will have hundreds, maybe thousands, of original content on it. It will also have thousands, maybe millions, of incoming links from other websites on the internet. Because of these two factors a popular blog can draw thousands of visitors a day. And with that much targeted traffic, operator of the blog can make money.

The advantage of an authority blog is that it is likely to have a long life span. As you continue to add content and attract links, your online presence will grow as will your income. The disadvantage of such a blog is that it may take a very long time for you to build enough content and links to draw thousands of visitors a day. Also, many of the niches that are highly profitable already have a lot of players with mature properties that dominate that niche.

2. Operate Many Smaller Blogs in Many Niches

The other strategy is to operate many (and I mean at least one hundred) smaller blogs targeting smaller niches. Each of these blogs do not have to had hundreds of pages of content or thousands of links. Depending upon the amount of competition in a niche, it is possible to draw 10-100 visitors a day to a small blog. And, when you have many of such blogs your meager earnings will begin to add up.

The disadvantage of having many small blogs is that it can be difficult to draw a lot of traffic. You will probably be dependent on search engines for your traffic, and a change to the search formula can impact your traffic. These blogs tend to have a shorter lifespan.

But, it is entirely possible to (in a relatively short time period) build up a stable of several hundred small blogs which average $0.25 to $2.00 a day in earnings.

So, those are two strategies that people use to make money blogging and you can use them as well.

Top 5 Benefits of Using WordPress For Your Website

If you have never built a website before, one of the quickest and easiest ways to get your first domain live and operational in only minutes is to install WordPress on your website.

WordPress is a blogging platform that allows you to have a pre-built website for free that will allow you to focus on the more important items like content, and if you desire it, sales and profits.

WordPress Benefits

In more than a decade online, I have literally built dozens of websites, many from the ground up... But since I discovered the ease of use and powerful flexibility of the WordPress platform, I am building most of my newest websites under this Content Management System (CMS).

The reasons I prefer the WordPress blogging platform are many, but I will sum it up with the following five key benefits:

1. Quick and Easy Installation - If you have a web hosting company that runs cPanelX as your webmasters' control panel (many of the more popular web hosting companies do), then you will find an option in your control panel called, "Fantastico De Luxe". When you click on the Fantastico icon, you will be taken to a page where you can add a multitude of free applications to your website, by following some simple instructions. Just click on the WordPress link to install WordPress on your website. The software will ask you some basic general information, then do the full install of one of the most recent WordPress builds into your website.

2. Website Themes - Few webmasters want to use the generic WordPress Theme that ships with WordPress. The default WP Theme is plain Jane, and to my taste, perfectly drab. There are many people who design custom WordPress Themes that you can easily upload to your domain, to change the appearance and feel of your WordPress website. Some of the WP Themes are paid versions, but most of them are free. There are more than one thousand themes loaded directly into the WordPress website ( wordpress.org/extend/themes/ ), from which you can choose, although you are not limited to just the themes loaded into the WordPress website.

3. Website Functionality - Just like with the WordPress Themes, if there is a specific functionality you want your blog to perform, there are programmers out there who have made WordPress Plugins that will do for you those things you would like to do. There are nearly 8,000 WordPress Plugins on the WordPress.org website ( wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ ), and thousands more that are not in the WordPress database. If you find a Plugin you want, just download, unzip, and upload it to the appropriate Plugin directory on your blog. After you have uploaded the Plugin, simply go to the Admin area of your Blog to activate the software.

4. Open Source - WordPress has been built in PHP, and its source code is visible to everyone who wants to look at it. On top of that, WordPress has included comprehensive documentation and a range of functions to help programmers work within the WordPress Codex. Anyone with a minimal knowledge of PHP can program WordPress Themes and Plugins, without too much effort.

5. Self-Updating - In recent versions, WordPress has included a feature that will notify you if upgrades are available for the basic WordPress operating system or your chosen WP Plugins. When upgrades become available, you will be notified, and often you only need to click a link to automatically install the upgrades and updates.

I have a friend who is a PHP coder by trade. I try not to mention WordPress in his presence, because every time I do so, I get an ear-full of "WordPress Sucks..."

To be honest with you, I still like WordPress... I like it, because it is easy to install and maintain, and I can improve it easily by using templates and plugins.

I am a coder, but life is too short to spend all of my time coding new websites... I am happy to spend my time creating content that will lead to sales... So for me, WordPress is good, and I am happy to put it on as many websites as I need to do...

If you are new to the Internet, then you might agree that WordPress is a blessing to those of us, who have more important things to do than to recreate the wheel...
