If you are looking for an easy and low cost way to make money online then a blog is one of the easiest ways to get started. Relatively low cost to get started (all you need is a good hosting provider and a domain name) and easy to set up/maintain running your own blog is definitely low investment costs and high potential return.
I say high potential return because you will only get your return if you put the effort in to blog! Many people set up a blog that lies abandoned six months later due to lack of interest but if you can become one of the minority who actually see this through you could have a potential money making online business on your hands and enjoy Blog Success.
The key is good research. You must know what it is that people are looking to do and how you can help them. This is the only way to experience true Blog Success. After researching and putting your blog up you then need to ensure you blog on a regular basis. Once a day really is a minimum for a new blog to help build it’s reputation with the search engines. After research you must focus on finding 4-5 keywords that you want to be known for because this will make it easier for you when you are marketing your blog. When you write your blog posts your keywords will determine what you will write about.
When it comes to advertising your blog this is another area that can be relatively low cost if money is an option and until you start to make money blogging. You can use social networks like Facebook to get visitors to your blog and also popular methods like article writing, link swaps and banner advertising.
If you are looking to make money online starting with a blog really is one of the simplest ways I know and many people (like Problogger) make a wonderful five figure monthly sum from advertising on their blog because they have large audiences. If you are a professional speaker, church leader or life coach then there is the potential to promote your expertise and sell your products using a blog.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a more advanced blogger looking to learn how to make money blogging then I recommend you spend some time learning with the best.

Thanks for this Diane. Yes, blogs are great and I only discovered them recently myself. I thought everyone knew about blogs except me but this I have discovered is far from the truth. My friends think I’m so clever to be starting small on-line businesses like I have with my blogs. Little do they realize that it is so easy to make a blog look professional with little know-how and no money needed. In my blogs I have been able to sell affiliate products and make a few dollars from adsense very easily. Down the track I hope to sell my own product.
