Finding good advice on how to start your online business or online income is virtually impossible. Even after countless Google searches, most of the sites that come up either have ridiculous starting costs or are obvious scams. In order to get to the real, raw, and useful, you would normally have to sift through pages and pages of junk. Not this time. I have gone through the garbage and picked out the diamonds in the rough. Here are the 5 simple steps to making money with a monetized blog.

Step 1: First, start your own blog! If you don't already have one, go to Blogger and make your own free blog.

Step 2: Write about "Hot Topics" like technology, government and politics, environment, self help, dating, blogging, etc.

Step 3: Submit your new blog to search engines, forums, article marketing sites, and submit articles based on your posts to get linkbacks and traffic.

Step 4: Sign up for Google's AdSense. It's free and easy to integrate and will help generate your extra income.

Step 5: Getting your traffic can take a bit of time, even with the help of these steps, links, and articles. The traffic driven to your site is under your control by how much effort you put into your Blog and how much time you dedicate to promoting your site. I suggest you repeat step 4 for every post on your blog to make sure your message is getting out there!

I hope that these simple steps can get you on your way to being your own boss or making some extra money to spend on what you want!
