Why do we blog?! Is it for fun or profit? Blogs are a very important media tool for relaying information or for the promotion of products and services, sometimes just used for social interaction or a place to rant one’s personal feelings. Well my interest here is about earning from your blog. If you have a website it is very easy to either convert your website to a blog or simply add a blog to it, the latter the easier so you have read this far that means you are interesting in earning some form of income from your blog.
There are a few basics I believe every blogger should know
and I guess you will all agree with me!
Basic HTML
Basic HTML to me is the basic prerequisite for any blogger who is interesting in making money online, this gives the basic understanding of how to include scripts in your website and most importantly correct minor errors this will save you time, and money after all is money you are trying to make.
Content Creation
Creating Content is a very important factor which can determine the success of any blog any blogger will tell you Content is King this is what your readers want this is what helps you to rank well in search engines like Google and the others I mentioned Google here you may wonder why but Google has about 80% percent of all online searches whether you like it or not Google is king of search engines.
Getting Traffic
Every Blog needs Traffic without this your website is useless and none existing no one will know you won’t earn nothing one way of getting traffic is through back links, I recommend you read Backlinks How to get Them a brilliant article with some great tips.
Those are just some basic tips now down to the nitty gritty of why we are here in the first place making money, this can be a very long and winding process, so if you are not the person with patience plz think twice, beware of the high yield investment schemes, there are lot of money making advice on the internet, so be careful before you choose. The most recommended one is Google AdSense, this is use by most bloggers trying to make money online however if you are good at writing you can creating your own blog and write some brilliant content well optimized, and market your blog properly, and the results can be phenomenal for some great money making tips.
I would recommend reading this Post written By a trusted friend of mine and an author at Famous Bloggers Ditesco titled Making Money Online Guide this is a series so be sure to follow it or may be subscribe to his RSS feed.

Hi there – Nice article and 3 awesome tips! I still consider myself newbie at blogging and earning online. And being from a background of non-tech, I am new to html and css
But, for all other newbie, that’s not hard to learn. If I can do it, so can others.
I think the 3 basic items go hand-in-hand. Without good content, there will be no traffic. Without basic html and css, your blog will not stand out and thus… less traffic. Without traffic … your blog and site is as good as a shop without visitors!

Yep, i agree that the basic html or even css knowledge is very important for the bloggers as without it, it really becomes very hard to play along with the theme, add stuffs to the blog… good content has no alternative, it just is the most important part.

Nice post! What I would like to point as well is basic CSS knowledge, if you want your blog to stand out from the gazillion others on the Internet (and you should) even if you just want to customize some stuff on the template your purchased.
Another very important thing is SEO … I guess you can put that among all of the other traffic generating techniques but it is the most important one in my opinion. Quality and unique content and good SEO. Direct promotion with Twitter and other social media is a must because if you wait for Google to pick you up you might as well retire because it will take quite a bit with all the “competition”.

That’s true. I really think I wouldn’t survive in blogging if I didn’t learn my basic html right away. learning css can be a really good saver too. it’s great knowing you can tweak around your own theme.

Three basic, simple but very effective tips to improve your blogging experience indeed. This is almost saying the same as being the power of three, lol. when I started to blog, I had one problem and that is having very little understanding about HTML. I soon came to realize that if wanted to pursue and achieve success, this is one of those “must know” or die. Thumbs up Lawmacs.
