Hi guys,

What the hell is a blog anyway?
according to Wikipedia a blog is a Web site (a weblog actually), usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. A blog really provides commentary or news on a particular subject. It is - your online journal to success.

For me its like having my own newspaper column where I can write whatever I damn please, as long as its in good taste of course, without being censored, barred or imprisoned for your thoughts - nice

But the whole point of having a blog is to attract an audience on a constant basis and to keep them coming back for more. Your blog will only attract an audience (traffic) if your content is good. Remember, good content is key here.
‘Sounds great so far, but how am I going to make any money from blogging?’ I hear you say.
Well the answer to that my compadres is in the list that you build over time. By a list I mean a mailing list of subscribers of course, who will keep coming to your blog over and over because they’re excited to read your news, views and abuse - watch it!

I’ll talk more about how to attract a list in later posts but for now all you need to know is that the more people you have subscribing to your list the more money you can generate via numerous channels including affiliate links and ads on your blog. Now that’s cool! 
 
Some of you are probably thinking ‘Hey, so far so good, sounds interesting but I’m such a lousy writer I’ve never written anything in my life!’  Allow me to put a stop to that right now.
Stop it!

Stop thinking this way. I know that each and every one of you out there has the ability to write you just need to practice a little and exercise that muscle of yours called talent.
I have placed a free e-book on my free e-book page titled ‘write like a maniac!’ Yes, you heard me right, be a maniac writer for a change!  An e-book which will show you how to unleash
the writer inside of you.

I want you to be excited about this opportunity and be ready for the challenges that await you around the blogs corner just like they are happening to me.
So be challenged and enjoy the ride, but truely enjoy it. Enjoy the process because we’re in this together for the long run so lets have some fun, alright compadres?

Right, enough jibber jabber for now so be on the look out for my next post where I’ll be talking about what the hell you should be writing about anyway and how to go about choosing your NICHE…

In the meantime, to get a head start look at my free blog info page and familiarize yourselves with the tutorials on how to get a blog going.
