WELCOME TO THE HOW TO DESIGNS BLOG

This how to designs blog is about showing you how to create a blog that can earn you some cash. A blog is similar to a newspaper article, but with much more function, and are published at a blog site. You can write a blog on just about anything you like. You can express a personal opinion about a subject, or give a review on a product, service, or website. Blogger.com is free, popular, and is also the one I use, but you can use any service you like. You will find that most blog services are easy to sign up to, and use.

Why Should You Want to Learn How to Blog.
Simply put, it's free to do, and you can make money from it. The free tools and services I show you here will absolutely help you to make money. One such tool we are utilizing is Google Adwords Keyword Tool. Another tool is the phrase match tool at Jumbo Keyword. And then of course there is that rightfully addictive tool known as YOUTUBE. There's much, much  more I have in store for you, in my SNAP-ON box of absolute money making tools!

The Experiment
To prove this can be done, I have conducted an experiment. I chose the subject, jewelry. Through my research, I found that the phrase, "necklace designs," was optimal for our needs. I did a google search for necklace designs, and found Auntiesbeads.com on the top of the page. I liked the pictures they displayed, so I copied them to a folder. I then created a short video using Windows Movie Maker, and posted it to youtube.

Amazing Results in Just Days.

My video is on page one. Notice that there are more than 3,000 pages in the results tab. Check for yourself. Go to Video.Google.com, and search for "necklace designs" be mindful of the spelling, it's important to the results we get. A link below, marked "submit," is an e-mail to me, let me know what you thought of the video, or just click on the picture above.

The Mission Statement
The goal of our lessons is to show you how to find a winning topic, and show you how to get a blog in a high ranking of a google search. After all, if you are going to write a blog, you are going to want traffic going to it. The more traffic you get, the more money you'll make. To get you on page one, we are going to need some skills. I have much to show you, but I promise that I will make it easy to follow.

From 0 to 60 in no time, flat.
But, before we can do that, we have to check under the hood. First, let's start by making sure we are on the same page. By that, I mean the same web browser. If you are using firefox, great. If not, let's get you fitted properly. Download Firefox . Don't worry. You can still use your other browser for other applications if you wish.





Understanding Social Bookmarking is Essential.
What is social bookmarking? It is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet. This activity will be a great help to making money with blogs, but we will cover the application of social bookmarking in a lesson further down the line.


Power up Your Browser with Delicious!
The next thing you'll want to do is, add the delicious bookmark to Firefox. Register with Delicious, and we are ready to start the first phase of our training. The new icons should appear on the top of your browser.

Using the Delicious Buttons

Let's begin, by clicking the right button, marked tag, and bookmark this page. When we do this, a window will open and ask for basic information. EXAMPLE. Fill out the description and the tag areas as you like.

Congratulations! You are a social bookmarker!



FREE as the tag
Next, go to the following sites and do the same, only this time, in the tag area use only the word "free," in the tag area.

SITE #1
SITE #2
SITE #3

GOOGLE as the tag
For the following sites, use "google" as the tag. Describe the site in your own words. This is helpful when you are looking up sites that you have bookmarked.

SITE #4
SITE #5

Opening the Tag Menu

When completing this task, click now on the center button (left of the tag button). A panel will open to the left with your tags in the upper portion of the panel. Your bookmarked sites will be in the bottom portion of the panel. You will notice that all of your sites will appear. Now click on the tag "google". Notice that only two sites are on the bottom panel, with the title of those sites. If you click on the bookmark, it will redirect this page to that bookmark. Try it, then hit the back button to return here.

Close the side panel and click on the left button. A new page will open, with all your bookmarks. You also have the tags, but now, they are on the right side of the browser. Read more...

A Must Have For Applications
