Make Money Online With Ludwig E. Parker & The Luxury Lifestyle!

If you are interested in starting your own blog, don’t be intimidated by the unknown. Using the right resources, you can create your own blog within minutes and easily change the look and design of the blog whenever you like. For instance, say you like dogs, you could write blog posts about your experiences and link to products and services related to the care of dogs. You would receive a percentage of each sale made if you are signed up as an affiliate with the products you link to. This is a great way to bring in money from your blog.

You can create your own blog for free, and use paid hosting, or use one of the free blog platforms that provides the hosting for you under a subdomain. Keep your blog updated often with new content in order to get the best results. You can get a good free blog from these two reliable sources online.

Blogger.com

To create your own blog with minimal effort, try blogger.com. This may sound daunting at first, but it is actually quite easy. The procedure takes little time to get your new blog ready to go. A good blog can attract a multitude of followers, and many of them will be interested in visiting your affiliate links or advertisements that can be featured throughout.

Go to blogger.com and click on “create your account now”. Input your name as you would like it to appear, and choose your blog title. Research for a good keyword for the title and content. You can also choose the first part of the url - www.”youdecide”.blogspot.com. Submit this information, then select a template for your blog. Now, on to the fun part!

The next screen is the blogger dashboard where you can manage your blog. Now, you begin posting to your blog whenever you like. There are plenty of features on these blogs, so you can upload images etc. Use well researched keywords in your posts and post titles. Tell people about your blog and invite them to post comments. Post relevant comments on other blogs related to your topic.

Wordpress

Another free platform can use to create your own blog can be found at wordpress.com. If you would like to host the blog with your own domain name, you can download the software and installation instructions at wordpress.org. Wordpress blogs feature hundreds of plug-ins and “widgets” that allow you to customise everything to your liking.

Free Website Builder

Some of you may prefer to create a traditional website in order to offer sales pages or provide more dynamic and interactive content. Hiring someone to do this for you can cost a bundle. To get started for free with minimal hassle, you might choose to try My Free Website Builder. No expensive webmaster required. You can choose your own template, or easily design a great site from the ground up.

Hosting

If you want your own unique domain name and full control over your site, you will need to purchase a hosting plan for your pages, and a domain name (i.e. www.yoursite.com) in order to get it online. You probably should research for a good niche keyword in your target market and base your domain name on this. Also, be sure to register it before you get hosting. Use a reputable domain registry service to register your domain name.

A hosting provider maintains the online computers (servers) that store and transmit your website to anyone on the Internet. It is important to choose a reliable host that offers plenty of storage and bandwidth so your site won’t run slow or go offline frequently.

You can get good, reliable hosting for as little as $4.95 a month.

The Best Hosting

Up-time is among the highest in the business and live agents are available 24 hrs. a day to help you if needed. I use Hostgator and I’ve never had any problems. Be sure to look at all the packages they have. I believe the $7.95/Mo. plan offers unlimited domains for the same price.

Final Word

Considering all the powerful platforms available online today, it is easier than ever to create your own blog. When you decide to enter the blogosphere, be sure to utilize all the latest resources to help you start out with minimal cost and effort. Blogging can be a fun and lucrative way to earn extra income from home.

Wishing you online success,

If you are trying to establish a presence online with your own website or product, you may know how costly it can be to get professional looking graphics and fonts created for you. Most people don’t want to spend large sums of money when first starting out to make money online. Since I remember how this feels, I wanted to share some sites I’ve come across, that I find are the best to help you create free web graphics.

Headers/Banners

It can be hard to get a good looking header for your site without spending some cash. But there is a new site called Instant Banner Creator, that can get you well on your way to making your own professional looking header or banner ad. It is free to join the site and there is a one time offer to upgrade for more templates. I made the image above in about three minutes.

You can create a complete header or get a pre-made template and add more images to it at puresilvabannermaker.com. Unfortunately, this site adds a small watermark to the corner of your images, unless you pay a small fee.

There is a site I really like for creating headers from scratch. You can upload your own background images and choose from hundreds of fonts for your design. The site is called bannersketch.com. This one is free too.

Image Effects

I started with just this small sample above to show you the general idea of some effects that can be done to an image. Much more impressive and dramatic effects can be achieved with a better stock photo.

Shadow Drop

Sometimes images on a site can look too flat and seem unreal. A good way to overcome this problem is with a drop shadow effect. You can make them for free at dropshadow.net This effect seems to make the image stand out more.

Reflection

Another way to help improve the look of your website images is with the reflection effect. Once again, you can find it for free at reflectionmaker.com.

Round Corners

If an image has square corners and is a dark color on a light background, it can look out of place. To soften the edges, you can use a dithering effect, or round the corners of the image. You can do the round cornering easily and for free at roundpic.com this site is good because you don’t need to embed a javascript code in your site to display the round corners.

Flash Animation

I came across this site and I couldn’t believe all the cool flash effects I could make including animations, movies, decorations and more. The site is a little hard to figure out at first, but it is really powerful and worth learning the methods of creating your own flash images. Go to effectgenerator.com and check it out.

Final Word

I did all these effects in just a couple minutes, with a small, poor quality image, but if you take some time to use these resources to their full potential, you will soon have a great looking site with top-quality graphics.
