Where to start?

Firstly, thanks for your service. Secondly, there are a number of legit ways to make money online. I, however, recommend creating a niche blog. A niche blog centers around a particular theme like dating, weight loss, make money...and usually contains both product reviews and articles about various topics in your niche. Niche sites can be big or small. You can have one big niche blog (an authority site) or small niche blogs (micro-niche blogs). Which one you choose has a lot to do with the profitability of the niche.

Niche blogs come with a lot of advantages and have become a standard way to make money online. It's a simple concept that most people grasp and requires little money to get started. It also allows you to do things like generate residual income - work once but continue to earn, work around your own schedule, generate several streams of income from the same blog, earn money by writing things you have an interest in and more. You're also building an asset because niche blogs gain equity and can be sold like houses on the housing market.

In terms of training, I highly recommend that you check out Unstoppable Affiliate by Andrew Hansen and Josh Stanton. Although the basic course is all you need to make it work, they also offer an optional coaching program you can choose to take part in.

Good luck,
Joey

I would love to dive more into that! My question is, traffic? How do people see those niche blogs? How does the blog make money (i.e using affiliate products?). I spend hours researching and always left with where do I start lol. I have fallen to the hype large amounts of money in short time. Im trying to get out of that mindset. At the same time from a military standpoint. Time is valuable. I dont like wasting time, i dont like my leaders wasting time, or my subordinates waste time. Time has value to me. I will def check out that course though!

Traffic is a big topic. You can either pay for it or get it for free, depending on whether you want to invest in money or time. If you want instant traffic, you have to pay for it, be it PPC, Facebook ads, PPV, solos. If you want free traffic, do article marketing, or submit free reports to ebook directories, though these methods do take time for traffic to start coming in.

what are effetive ways to get traffic to blogs? Blog sites using wordpress?
