The whole idea of blogging is somewhat overwhelming to many Internet marketers. The thought of writing fresh content on a consistent basis drives some people away from blogging almost as quick as they get started.

Here’s a thought that might change your mind. What if you were actually making money from your blog?

Would you be more interested in doing it? Here’s 3 easy ways to get your blog ready to make money.

1. Join Google Adsense and put ads where people can find them. Google offers good tutorials on how to do this. This is easy money because you do not have to sell anything.

2. Join ClickBank and add text link ads in the body of your blog articles. Do this by hyperlinking a keyword phrase to a product from Clickbank.

You can also paste in graphics many publishers have made for you. If you do not know how to do this get busy and learn. It is not hard.

3. Paste a couple of banners to CPA affiliate programs on the sidebar of your blog. This is easy money as well. Join Commission Junction for access to a large variety of CPA Programs in different niches.

As your traffic increases you will actually get other internet marketers wanting to pay you to place their banner on your blog.

If writing content is still overwhelming to you hire a blog writer and let them do it. You can purchase blog articles for around $50 and that will give you a nice steady flow of content to add to your blog every month.

Many Internet businesses are open 24 hours a day. Some Internet businesses are closed 24 hours a day. In your mind you should determine what time of day you open for business!

Part of this will be determined by the type of Internet business you have. Of course the Internet never sleeps so you have the opportunity to be conducting business nonstop around the clock.

Some businesses require more of a hands on approach. Businesses that require you to personally contact your prospects and customers come to mind.

However many Internet marketers really never have set business hours so it makes it hard for them to conduct business. If you have the type of business where people need to be in contact with you, you should establish set office hours and publish those where people can find them.

Some Internet businesses are never open for business because they don’t have any traffic. Just because you have a website or blog online doesn’t mean you are open for business.

It’s kind of like the old saying, “if a tree falls in the forest, and no one hears it, does it make a sound?” If you build a website, and no one sees it, will you make any money? Of course the answer to this question is you will not.

If you are a busy person the easiest way to stay open for business 24 hours a day is to automate as much of your business as possible. This includes the type of advertising you do so that people are constantly seeing links to your website.

Getting quality backlinks is the key to being open for business 24 hours a day.
