Okay i noticed a few posts around from people wanting to know how to make money with blogs
This is a method i have used pretty much since i started doing Internet Marketing and it has made me a ton of cash over time. Also having the added benefit of giving me thousands of indexed pages in google to use for links.
Okay you do probably need some kind of cash outlay but not much. Ill show you what i did at the start and then you can adapt it to suit your needs.
Okay first of all you need to know why your doing this..
You going to be making a blog network and then selling blog posts on them to webmasters .. for that reason a lot of the time they may well know far more about this that you!
Your Potential Selling Points
.Com/org/net Blogs
Unique IP’s
Seperate Domains
Unique Content
Blogs with PR
Find some hosting
RIGHT WAY
I recommend using a VPS if your going to do this properly, i think my first one was with a company called Knownhost (i now use a dedi at softlayer for cheap IP’s) The server at Knownhost cost $40/mth i think with 10 Ips and Cpanel.
Okay with that you will be able to host tonns of blogs.
CHEAP WAY
You can if you like just set up some cheap shared hosting accounts at godaddy/hostgator or something but you will then lose one of your selling points above.
The Blogs…
Now you can either choose to do this the ‘cheap way’ or the right way. If you do this the cheap way your will again lose another 2 of your selling points from above!
RIGHT WAY
The way i did this was to hop over to one of the dropped domain sites like www.freshdrop.net to find some cheap PR domains.Basically your looking for PR domains that have dropped and you can register for $5 at godaddy and with there aftermarket charge is like $10 or something per domain (GODADDY HAS A AFF PROGRAM AT CJ REMEMBER )
(here i could actually do a full tutorial on finding good dropped domains but im not going to)
CHEAP WAY
You could just buy a load of .infos for .99c each
Okay, i think a good number for this is to have 50ish domains and thats what i tend to keep with so look for that as your first target but obviously you dont have to buy them all at once. Start with maybe 10 and then as you make profit buy more domains!
Installing blogs
Obviously you have to now install Wordpress on all your domains.
I install using this so you dont have to wait for files to upload

Adding the content to the blogs…
Okay now you can choose again for the ‘easy route’ or the right route and will once again lose a selling point if you choose the easy route.
RIGHT WAY
This involves more effort but significantly increases how much money you can charge.
Okay so what you do is get yourself a cheap rewriter to convert articles using the syntax {walk|run|jog} if you dont know about that then read up on it.
Then i use Power Article Rewriter to spin the seed article into 50 unique articles. I then have a script that will post each of the articles to each of my blogs.
CHEAP WAY
You can either set you one blog that you post on and then have all the other blogs syndicate using RSS from that blog. This means that all your blogs will have the same content on them. So you could get them all deindexed by google!
This has happened to me and its not nice losing literally $5k worth of blogs!!
The Service / $$$
So now if you have gone down the ‘right way’ route you can now offer to people their links on 50 unique articles on 50 unique .com blogs using many different IP’s.
The ‘cheap way’ would be offering one article on 50 spam blogs on one IP!
Now just get yourself to DP/SP/WMW and start selling your blog posts!
In terms of prices when i was just offering one article on all blogs i was charging $10 per article. Now i offer unique articles on all blogs i can charge $20 although you will have to pay for someone to rewrite the article unless you want to do it yourself.
In terms of potential income .. well i dont actively promote my service on forums anymore as im too busy but i still have long terms customers sending me articles every day via email.
I was probs doing at least $50-100 per day with next to no work.
Also you then have tonns of pages indexed in google for link laundering which i will let you decide the value of
