Blogging Can Make Money
What I write below is a result of what I have learned over 4 years of blogging. Although not exactly very experienced, but it would not hurt if I share what I have learned.
Without many words, read from beginning to end.
What is a blog
If my friend is really new in the blog world, then the possibility of friends still not quite understand what is a blog.
On the internet there are actually many articles that discuss what a blog, but here I will only give a trivial explanation.
Blogs are one of the many types of sites available on the internet.
Examples of types of websites on the internet are:
News portals
Social Networking
Search Engines
Forums
Online Store
BLOG
ETC.
So what's the difference between blogs with other types of websites?
The answer is: MANY DIFFERENCES ...
One thing that most distinguishes between blogs with other types of websites is the function of the blog itself.
The main function of blogs at first is to allow people to write personal notes on the internet.
But this time the blog already has many functions. Started as a personal note, a place to share opinions and information, for political purposes, for business purposes.
Why blogging?

Where to start?
Starting blogging is actually very easy, but most people are confused themselves.
1. Determine the goal
Is blogging a goal important? Very important. If we do not have a goal then surely our blog will be inconsistent in taking care of our blog.
Blogging takes time, energy, and mind. Do not let everything wasted because it has no clear purpose.
2. Define the topic
Choose topics that really interest palajaran with your hobby or expertise buddy. If my friend picks a topic that my friend does not really like, then your blog will not last long.
3. Choose blogging service
There are so many services that we can use for blogs, such as Blogger.com, WordPress.com, Tumblr.com, and others. Everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. But I think Blogger.com is the right choice for my friend. In addition to free, blogger.com is very easy to use for beginners.
4. Start writing
If friends already have a blog then the most important is to fill your blog with writing. Begin to write whatever you want my friend to write on a topic that has been determined by a friend.
5. Beautify the blog
Actually not so important to be done by beginner bloggers but no harm done if the origin is not excessive.
Buddy can change the template or display your blog better, install widgets for more beautiful to be seen, and others. But remember! Do not overdo it as most beginner bloggers associate the same template or view that ultimately is a waste of time.

Mistakes that often make a blogger beginner
Once you know how to start blogging, it's best to listen to some of my friends' generic mistakes made by novice bloggers that my friends do not need to do the same thing as the following:
1. Too busy with
As I mentioned a little bit above, the mistake almost done by most beginner bloggers is too busy to see the blog. Equally templates, plug-detached widgets, etc.
Have a nice cool blog, but it will make your blog become big and known to many people not because of its appearance, but because the content is presented in buddy blog buddy.
2. Quantity worried than quality
Beginner bloggers usually compete to fill blogs with as many words as possible in the hope of quickly getting a lot of visitors regardless of whether the results of posts from their own writing or other bloggers write tracks.
3. Too much reading of information but lack of practice
As a beginner blogger is usually very much curiosity. Read this reading until the head is full of information and confused which one should be practiced. Better bit of information but actually practiced than most information but not used.
4. Inconsistent
In the early days very diligent update the post every day, but after that suddenly disappeared somewhere. Regular blog updates are great, but consistency seems much more important.
5. Discussing too many topics
Is there a problem when discussing many topics? Really not. But certainly your blog is growing, not unique, has no identity, and it will be hard to get loyal readers.
6. Too obsessed with blog stats
A beginner blogger will usually be very diligent in checking the number of visitors, alexa rank, pagerank, and so forth. Day can check hundreds of times. While it will not help increase the final amount of your blog and it will only be a waste of time.
7. Make too many blogs
Honest enough bloggers who have experienced managing many blogs, tens and even hundreds. But especially for beginners is not recommended to make too many blogs because it will not focus.
Although my friend is no longer a beginner, I think managing many blogs is not a necessity. It all depends on your intention. If my friend wants to make a blog become popular and lasting longer, then there is no reason to manage many blogs.
8. Too ambitious to earn money quickly
No doubt many bloggers start blogging because they want to earn money. They assume washing money from blogs can be done overnight, but not so. It takes time, effort and consistency.
I myself can only make money after two years of blogging. A long time does remember that I started completely from scratch. Buddy may have been faster or longer. That obviously takes time, effort and consistency.
9. Do not make the most of Google search engine
Instead of just a blog question, any information can be found easily on google. So use Google well to learn blogging.
