Blogging is not only a great communication tool, but it is also a great way to also make money. If you're new to blogging and yet want to start quickly, there are several business models you can try for maximum results in a short time. There are three ways that I find to be the most popular..

1. Get paid to to blog. Using this method, you create your blog and add a few good articles to it. Then you signup with paid blogging networks like Pay Per Post or Review Me and see what "opportunities" are available. These networks are filled with advertisers looking for blogger who can help them spread the word, and they are willing to pay. Accept the opportunity, write about it on your blog, and you get paid.
2. Another way is to use AdSense. AdSense WordPress blogs and it requires a little more technical know-how. You need to build a WordPress blog on a specific niche topic, and start writing some good content on it. At the same time, try to get links from other blogs by leaving comment on the blogs or by doing a link exchange with the blogger. The objective is to get more traffic who will click on your AdSense ads and make you money.
3. The final most popular way is a little more complicated is affiliate marketing with WordPress blogs.You set-up a good WordPress blog but with this model the amount of content you publish is not as important as the "selling quality" of the content. Each post you write must pre-sell the web visitor and convince him to click on your affiliate links. When the visitor makes a purchase online after that, you get credited for the sale and earn commissions. It is good to do a little research before jumping into any of the methods discussed. You choice should be centered around the amount of time and resources you expect to put into your new blogging business. My recommendations are to choose a method that requires a minimum investment. Once you start to get use to the business, then you can use some of the more advanced methods. Save this article so you can go back to it and reference the other models. Once you get the hang of the first one, you will want to start a more advance blogging method. As your experience increases so will your income. You will also notice the amount of time it takes to write and market yourself will decrease.
