I have to say, i enjoy receiving emails from Kahsoon.com readers who contacted me via my contact page since the very first day i started this blog. This is another way i communicate with my readers other than replying them in my comment box or MSN. Just recently i have received some email from my readers and i think their question relate to each other so i would like to reply them in my blog instead because it might relate to you.

thank you..

The first reader want to know how to start his own domain blog and the second reader want to know how to earn some money from blogging. Both of them need guidance from me so i will just write a simple walkthrough from starting your own domain blog to earning some money from the blog.

First of all why do you need a domain name for your blog. Like what the first reader is looking for, the freedom of blogging. Most blogger(like me) started off with blogspot but soon need something more powerful and more freedom to blog so they will try to get their own domain name and use Wordpress or other weblog publishing tool. When you want to get your own domain name, first of all you need to pick a niche/topic. You need to know what kind of blog you want to make so that you can choose the best domain name for it. Its easy if you want to make a personal blog, you can simply use your name or any cool names as your domain name, if you want to make a focus topic blog, then you need to do some homework.

There are two option you can choose to get the best domain for focus topic blog. First option is you want to do branding like Google or Yahoo or Digg that have a cool name and easy to remember, second option is you can choose a domain that will be very Search Engine friendly like for example you want to make a toy blog, then you will want to get a domain like toyblog.com or toy-blog.com because these are the keywords that people will search for when they use search engine.

Next is to get a hosting for your blog, remember that speed and the price is not the only criteria you need to emphasize on, you also need to ask around whether the service of the hosting company is good and try to get as much of information from other people before doing any purchase. If you want cheap blog hosting recommendation you can contact me and i’ll share with you some good quality ones.

That will answer the first reader’s question and next i move on to the second reader’s question. How to earn some money from blogging. The key to this is do alot of research and i mean ALOT of research. Try to read alot of articles on the internet and forums. Here are some site that i frequent and will give you alot of help to earn some money from blogging. [ 1, 2, 3 ] Don’t be skeptic in reading those ebooks that teaches you how to earn money online. I was once a skeptic but the increase of earning after reading this particular ebook really proves that i was wrong. There are some valuable tips provided and i’ve learned something from it, i don’t mind giving one or two tips of what i’ve learned from it, just contact me personally.

To make some money from blogging, most important thing is that you need alot of traffic and unique content. To get more traffic to your blog, i don’t really need to teach you here because there are too many useful articles out there on the net, just Google it. But one thing you should know is that you must always set a goal for yourself. As for unique content, you can take PSP World as an example, if you blog about something unique like PSP, definately there will be alot of people visit your blog to know more about PSP and get the latest news from your blog.

What you can do when you have a blog with high traffic and unique content, you can register AdSense, AdBrite or Chitika and many other wonderful advertising company and you can earn money from publishing their advertisement. You can also sell advertising space in your blogs using Blogads or manually make an advertising space in your blog like the one i did it on top of this blog.

There you go, my two cent.
