The Extra Income Guide Blog

Welcome back!

Good Day everyone.  Well today my friend finally wanted to continue on his wordpress blog.  This is a continuation on his journey to make money onlineand hopefully all the information will benefit you as well.  Today we are going to go through how to set up a wordpress blog.

After you have purchased your domain and webhost, ( I say use lunarpages.com) go ahead and log into your control panel.  To log into your control panel it is normally www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel.  After you log in you should see a screen such as:

Control Panel Logo

At the control panel screen you will want to scroll down and click on thefantastico button. 

This will then take you to the next screen will on the left sidebar you want to click on the title wordpress:

After clicking on the wordpress sidebar button, a new screen will pull up where you want to press the new installation button :

New Installation

On the next screen I will go through the installation process by referring to each number on the screen shot.

1.  This is where you want wordpress to be installed.  i.e.  www.yourdomainname.com

2.  This is where you want to type in your admin username to log into the wordpress dashboard.  I recommend something very simple for you to remember.

3.  This is the password that will be associated with your login name.  Again I recommend something that you will be able to remember easily.

4.  This is the nickname you want to show up when you type a new post or leave a comment on your blog.

5.  Your Email address that you want any email to do with your blog sent to.

6.  This is the name of your site that will be displayed in the theme you choose.

7.  The description of your site.

This is a brief tutorial on how to install wordpress on your new website. 

Hopefully this will help all newbies install their new blog, on their journey to make money online.

Happy Earning,

Good Day everybody.  As Promised I am going to share with you my income report for July.  It is decent, yet not the best.  This is not the blog that makes me the most money yet, it provides me with some, and gives me the opportunity to share my skills with other people.  I have always been told that when you make money online, you should always give back and try to share.  This is what I am doing, and hopefully I am helping you along in your quest to make money online.  Now I will be providing screenshots of my income from different networks yet I will explain that not all the money made there is from this one in particular blog.  I will put in my explanation of what was made from this blog and what wasn’t.  I will also be including my eBay profits on this blog since I talk about ebay as a money making source.  Again Thank You all for reading.

PepperJam Network : $886

With the PepperJamNetwork.com I was a member for approx. a whole month.  Now I made around $350 of the total here with this blog.  The rest was made on my different blogs.  It is hard to show that and I don’t do an income report on my other blogs so I am going to include it all here.

EBay Sales : $686.45

Yes I didn’t make this by selling products on my blog, yet I did chat about this source of income on my blog and wanted to show it.  I will be including all my eBay expenses and income’s on this blog.

Private Ad Sales : $0

I didn’t sell any private ads this month.  Hopefully it will get better.  I also concentrated on building traffic this month, where as in the last few months I really didn’t. 

Kontera Ads : $5.82

Sorry No screen shot.  With the traffic that is coming in I feel that this is decent.  I have only used them for about a month, and I have also only been working on incoming traffic for about a month.  Hopefully this will continue to rise.

PayPerPost : $25.75

I just started using payperpost.com and with only a PR of 0 there aren’t that many to do.  It is some more income though.  WooHoo.

Total Gross Profit is $1604.02

Now for my expenses.

Hosting : $9.95

Autoresponder: $19.95

eBay items and material: $212.32

Total Net Profit to help with my 9-5 income : $1361.80

Not too bad.  This extra income helps out my family in many different ways.  Please share your income you made last month, or any thoughts on mine.

Just Do It Already

Good day everyone.  Well I know I was going to have a seven day tutorial already with step by step instructions on how to make money online, well my friend who I was showcasing has gotten cold feet.  He started and now feels that maybe the internet is over saturated with blogs that are trying to make money online.

Woah!  I say.  That is why you try to find a niche that people want, write content about that niche and then monetize that site.  I tried to tell him, it doesn’t have to be the prettiest picture at first, but you have to get the main outline out there and get it done.  Pull the trigger on it I tell him.  Just do it.  Get it done.  I again really dont care if its not the most beautiful site out there we just want you to start making money online.  I want you to be successful with what you have before you go out and spend thousands on something that you feel is perfect.  I have sat in a room and made a niche site perfect to completely forget about building traffic to that site and for all my time in making it look great and the feel just perfect I didn’t make anything.  To me that is a waste of time.  especially for newbies out there I want you to feel what it is like to make that first $1, that first $10, that first $100 and then that first $1000 online.  Once you start making money online you want to continue.  That is where you then reinvest in your business to help it grow.

So I say to everyone that has an idea that they are just hemming and hawing on, Pull The Trigger!

Good Sunday everyone, now the question on my buddies tongues today was if I build these sites will I really get visitors.  Well the answer can be yes and it can be no.  It really depends on how much you intend on working on getting these visitors to your sites.  Now as everyone knows it takes traffic to make money online.  Well today I won’t be going into how to get traffic, but how to start buidling you sites.

Now by this time hopefully you have come up with a clever name for your site.  In this example I will be using my buddies domain name of youngdennis.com.  Now his site is still under construction so be patient and I will be adding him to my blog roll to show everyone what his site is all about.  He really is an interesting guy.

So first I sent him to my new favorite webhost, lunarpages.com.  I did this due to the fact that he is in it for the long haul and wanted the best deal possible.  For him to sign up for two years of hosting plus his domain name it cost him under $120.00.  Not too shabby I said.  I told him I hope to have him make that back with in his first two to three months with his site.

Now this is where we went searching for some themes.  Man is he a picky guy.  We still haven’t found one that he feels will work for him so we are still on the prowl.  If you know of any good themes that are very vibrant and colorful, let us know. 

Anyways that is all for today.

Happy Earning
