4. Who Am I ?
I am an ordinary guy like you who came across blogging by chance but soon
realized that blogging is the thing which can help me to make my life easier and
more enjoyable. I started spending sleepless nights on searching the ways to
make money online and started implemented all of them on my blog (all newbie
do the same thing, they learn the things and try to implement all of them to earn
money as fast as possible but friends blogging is not a one week
or one month game it’s a continuous progress and very soon I
realized this truth).
My Name is Kulwant Nagi and I am from a very small city called
Fatehabad in Haryana, India. And as we all I love my city too
much that I came back to home after doing 6 months job and started doing work
from home. Ha Ha! Jokes are apart but I really love my city because of peace and
a great humanity in my area.
As my education is concerned I am just a B.Tech degree holder from a highly
reputed college from Haryana and very soon going outside from country to have
my MS Degree. In our education we just learn the things how to get job and how
to work for people and make them rich. Yes Friends this is true we devote our too
much time in JOB to make him rich.
Same as all parents teach their children Go to school, get good marks and then
good JOB my parents also taught me the same, but I am a kind of person who
wants to live his life in his own way. Once I read in a book that JOB is Just Obey
Boss I realized the truth and stared hating the word JOB. Then one friend of mine
whose name is Ravinder suggests me you should go for blogging. Thanks a lot to
Ravinder who helped me to choose my right path.

5. Why this Book ?
As I have opted blogging as my career so in my daily routine I came across too
much bloggers who are struggling to start his first blog. They even don’t know
what is this and how much freedom we can get if we come into blogging. There
are too much Books available on Blogging then why I decided to write a book on
blogging again. The reason behind this was simple to share my real life blogging
experience with you and to provide you a wonderful stuff at FREE OF COST. The
Book I m providing to you at FREE OF COST is worth $50 in the market if I will sale
this book. My Idea was to write a book and sale it on Amazon or EBay and to
make good money from it, but soon I dropped my idea because I thought this
book can really help the newbie bloggers who are still learning the a b c of
blogging.

6. What is Blogging ?
Blogging is sharing the real time information with the world. All big sites have
converted them to blogging sites because they are sharing the information with
you and they had to update the sites daily.
Website vs Blog
New Bloggers always confused between these two words which is website
and which is blog. Let me tell you this in simple words. A website is which
have the static data like your college website, Ministry of Corporation
website, your city’s website etc. They have all the information about that
particular topic and when you will open the website you will see the almost
same stuff on that. But Blog is different from website because it has the
dynamic updating when you will open any good blog you will never see the
content which was yesterday on top. Blog always gets updated daily with
new and unique content.
So if you are thinking to start a blog then keep one thing in mind that
readers want daily new information from blog otherwise you will lose the
readers very soon. Blogging is teaching the world with your experience and
www.bloggingcage.com Page 3
7. from the internet sources. In a report it has been shown that there are
6,94,000 search on Google in every single minute. So how people got the
data which they are searching for? The answer is simple, because of the
bloggers. Bloggers are always in the search of useful content so that they
can share it with the world.
So in short word blogging is a continuous process. You cannot sit free once
you will start a blog (for first few months only). You will have to work hard
for providing the useful content to your readers. Once you will be able to
attract good numbers of visitors to your blog then slowly slowly new doors
will open for you to earn money. But all you need is very HIGH PATIENCE. If
you will not lose the patience you will for sure starting making money from
your blog.

8. How to Start
For anything you start in life you need lots of dedication and commitment.
Your Passion in anything can take you to next level. So blogging also needs
passion and commitment. One issue you will have while selecting the topic
for blogging. From my suggestion you must choose the Niche about which
you are most passionate. This can be playing guitar, going for hill station,
any study topic, love for mobiles, and love for laptops, photography or
anything. Because in blogging people start with too much passion at
starting but soon they lose the interest. So if you will lose the interest then
everything will go very soon.
Your Passion and Know How
So the First step is to discover the passion and your know how about that
topic. I am saying know how because all you will do in blogging is to share
the things with people which you know. Soon you will learn very good
things in blogging journey once you will equipped with it.
www.bloggingcage.com Page 5
9. Research
You will have to devote the time for research. Because only thorough
research will help you to get the clear idea about the topic on which you
are going to launch a blog.
Writing Skill
You must have writing skill because in your entire blogging career you will
write the article for your blog or for others blog.
Time
How much time you give in blogging is directly proportional to amount of
income in your pocket.
These were the Activities which you will have to integrate in life to start
your blogging career. But what after you already have these qualities? So
let’s start the process of starting a good blog.

20. Make Money Online
There are millions of other people just like you who attempt to make
money online and fail. Before you dive in take some time to think about
why you are doing this, what your goals are and what you want to achieve.
The reasons for failing online are varied, but include:
Unrealistic expectations – many people expect to get rich overnight. In
reality it will take you a few weeks or a few months to start making sales
and profits if you are a Beginner.
Lack of Persistence – many people try something for a few weeks and if it
doesn’t work they just give up. You need to be persistent. Perhaps you have
not given it enough time, or perhaps you are not doing it the right way.
Lack of Time – to succeed online you need to spend time on your business.
Set aside at least 5-10 hours per week to work on your business and do this
consistently.
Lack of Money – you wouldn’t be able to start a business in the offline
world without investing some money. At a minimum you need to have at
least $10 per month to pay for your website hosting. Extra for an
autoresponder and some paid advertising will also help, but is not
absolutely necessary in the beginning.
Overspending - many people pour thousands of dollars into their new
business without researching their purchases carefully. Set a sensible
www.bloggingcage.com Page 17
21. monthly budget that is affordable and stick to it, only increasing your
budget as your profit increases.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
Let’s come to the point for which we are going to start a blog. People are
earning hundreds and thousands of Dollars by sitting at home with
Blogging. Blogging has emerged suddenly so fast that every third person
wants to start a blog, but do they know how the money can be poured into
pockets? Let’s discuss about some of the good ways to make money.
Google Adsense
If you are a newbie then I m sure that the only thing you know about
making money from blog is Google Adsense. No Doubt this is the most
loved and trusted way to make handsome money. Google has its legs in
everywhere so this initiative by Google was one of the best in 20th century.
They allow everyone to grab money on the internet.
Google process is very simple. Just make a good looking blog, publish 10-15
Articles and apply for Google Adsense. But keep in mind one thing that
Google don’t love copy paste content so the articles must be written by you
in your language. And don’t rush for applying Adsense account, because
one they will ban you for the account it will be very hard to get the account
approve for second time. So my suggestion is never apply for Google
Adsense if your blog is not one month old and you don’t have 10-15 good
Articles.
www.bloggingcage.com Page 18
22. Affiliate Marketing
This is another decent way to make money from your blog. So First of all I
would like to tell what is affiliate marketing? This is kind of system which
pays you if you will sell the product of the company. So you will get money
for referring the product to your friend. There are some companies like
HostGator, Netfirms who pays you $50 and $60 per sale respectively. So if
any of your friends will buy the product referred by you, you will make the
money.
Direct Advertisement
Direct Advertisement is the best way to make money from blog. You can
make hundreds of dollars by selling space at your blog for one month or
one year as per the advertiser agreement. They will pay you good money
for putting the ads on your blog.
The very first task to attracting the advertiser at your blog is to attract good
traffic first. Once you will gain good traffic there will be crowd of companies
who will be interested to put ads on your blog
Content Writing
Content writing is best way for you even without a blog if you have good
writing skills. When you open any website or any blog what you see is the
content only that attracted you for that site. So you can provide your
service to different companies and can write for them. In blogging content
writing has its own place, if people would love your articles then there is a
too much probability that they will come again at your blog.

23. Blogging Inspiration
Blogging needs a too much inspiration because if you will not have the
inspiration you will lose the interest very soon. So you will always have to
pump yourself for long survival in blogging. So for your inspiration I am
going to list some of the best bloggers interviews and top blogging websites
which can help you to boost morally.
