Indie Writer - The Rise of the Independent Author

Blogging has recently emerged as one of the premiere
ways an Indie Writer can make extra income for his
or her family. A few Indie Writers are even making a
healthy, full-time salary from blogging alone.

Blogging offers several possibilities for income
streams. An Indie Writer might choose to advertise on
their blog through Affiliate Programs or Google
AdSense. Or if they draw large enough numbers to
their website, they might sell ads of their own. Some
might choose to place their blog on Amazon Kindle
Blogs, or receive free products, which they agree to
review. An Indie Writer might even place a donation
button on a beloved blog to raise a few funds for the
author.

Be sure to thoroughly research your blog host before
you create your blog(s). You probably do not want a
free blog with advertisements on it if you plan to
advertise there yourself. It is also advisable to buy
your own domain name for your blog rather than
relying on a free one given to you by a blog hosting
company. If you ever need to move your blog, you
want your domain name to come with you since you
have spent so much time promoting it.

For less than $10 a month, an Indie Writer can
purchase a blog account with unlimited blogs from
Go Daddy with NO advertisements. If you are serious
about income through blogging, I highly recommend
this or another reputable company.
