I work from home and have found plenty of opportunities online to make money. I will admit that I have the most fun making money online through my hobbies and interests. The more I know about something the more opportunity to make money.
I do have web sites I make money with that are not hobbies or interests but I had to put a lot more effort into those sites because I had to research harder and learn more but the time was well invested.
I have also found that I make more money blogging that with static sites. I think this works better because people like blogs more and the most important factor for me is that blogs seem to be updated far more than static sites, so the search engines love them as well.
Host Your Own Domains
I prefer to have full control over what I blog about. For this reason I don’t use free blogging platforms for my important blogs. I have had a blog shut down by Blogger.com because some one complained about something that wasn’t even true. They didn’t even check it, they just shut it down. I had to ask them to check the account. It was down for almost a week before they admitted that I was right and turned it back on.
I do use free blogging platforms to setup blogs that will link to my main domains and pages though. I like to use them for back linking to my other blogs.
When you think about it you can host domains rather cheaply now and you can host multiple domains on one account if you desire to have more than one blog. Registering a domain is only going to cost you about $10 a year. So having and hosting a domain of your own isn’t costly at all but well worth the investment.
Stay Focused on Your Topic
If you are writing for the sake of writing and sharing you can say and do pretty much what ever you like, but if the goal is to make money online working from home you need to be focused on the niche you choose and stay on topic when you are writing. I work from home and blog about home gardening tips and fly fishing for trout and I get to write about my hobbies.
The search engines will send you much more target traffic is you do stay focused but you also need to do some research to see if the keywords you have chosen will make money.
Tips: One method I have used that works for me is to type my phrase into Google’s search engine and then see if there are Adwords ads showing on the right of the results page. If there are no ads showing then it tells me that those words are going to earn me much.
Even before I start a blog to earn money I look for affiliate programs that match my niche. I have a couple of blogs that I didn’t look first and ended up putting in a lot of work just to find I couldn’t get any good affiliate programs. So do your research first.
