I keep asking you to create your blogs and learn the skills even if you want to work for others.

Read the case study of Dog Care Reviews - one of the members of ‘Make Money Today’ membership site. She went from no knowledge of blogging to creating her own product and selling it on her blog. She has worked on her blog for only a few months and already her blog has a Page Rank of 3 and she is on top in Google search results for many keywords.

I got an email from someone who said he knows C++ and JAVA and he wants a job.

Now the latest software that come out has made it dead easy for us to use computers without the knowledge of coding and java, etc.

People with programing knowledge should develop the skills of creating their own products. Then they will be able to work with others. They can mint money by selling their products online.

A fashion designer has a portfolio, a photographer has an album, similarly if you want to work online you need to create your online presence.

You need to document your skills vis-à-vis what types of work are in demand online. If you go and have a look at elance.com and classified ads, you will see what type of work force is in demand. Then you develop those skills.

Step 1: Start without any website or blog. Sign up for ClickBank. Select some products you want to promote. Add that link to your email signature, forum posts, article resource box and Orkut or yahoo group communication. Write a review of the product and submit to ezinearticles.com. You can start earning money without a website or blog.

Chat in forums and social sites such as facebook, find out what people need, go and find the right products for them, talk to them about the product in between conversations naturally as you would talk to a friend. You will make some sales.

More important than the money you are learning the skills of writing articles and socializing. These are some of the skills that make you employable.

Step 2: Start a blog

A blog software can be free or may cost you some money.

Blogger.com is free, site.google.com is free, squidoo.com is free, hubpages.com is free….

Wordpress.com is free….

WordPress.org is free but you need to buy webspace and domain name.

Depending on your financial position go for a free or paid blogging platform.

- Do research to choose the right keywords that will get you more traffic. There are billions of blogs out there with no visitors. One main reason for that is not many are interested in the topic of the blogs.

Download Ever Profits Toolbar. It has WordTracker keyword search tool integrated with it. Whatever topics come to your mind put it in the search box and check out how many sites are there, how many people search for such a topic per month, how much the advertisers are paying for the keyword, etc.

These are important indicators to decide whether that keyword is profitable or not and if you create a blog on that will you be able to earn money.

If you are using a free blogging platform like blogger.com create different blogs for different themes. Do not have too many different topics on one blog.

Step 3: Invest a little more, buy your own webspace and domain name. Get a blogging software that will speed up the work for you. If you want to manage more than one blog you need a blogging software tha will automate part of the work.

FirePow for example, automates a number of things you need to do to monetize your blog. FirePow helps you manage all your blog from one dashboard, helps you set up things with one click of a button, has super plugins, has blog promotion features integrated.

By investing on something like that you save your time and energy, work on more blogs and earn more. But please remember no software can earn money for you. You have to use the software and earn money for yourself. You have to put in the work, you have to learn the skills and you have to show people that you have the necessary skills. Once you have the skills you can work for someone or be on your own. That is up to you.

First Learn and then use that to Earn.
