First of all, you will need a domain name. Domain names are very cheap, and you can purchase a .com for about $12 a year, and a .info for as low as $2 a year. If you are strapped for cash, I would definitely suggest a .info domain. Choose a domain name that will be related to the program or niche you will be promoting with your blog, for instance if you will be promoting clickbank, a domain name with clickbank included within should be your focus, for search engine optimization purposes. Go Daddy can provide you with the domain name that you need, and once you secure your domain name, you will have completed the first step to making money with a blog.

Once you have chosen a web host, in which you can use Go Daddy or Host Gator, you will need to set up a wordpress blog on your web hosting domain. The web host that you decide upon will provide you with a step by step setup process, and possibly even set up the wordpress blog hosting for you. This will be the second step in getting started with making money with a blog.

Once you have your blog set up and in place, start doing some research so that you can add content to your blog regularly. I would suggest posting to your blog at least twice a week, and you should also post your articles that you use for article marketing purposes to your blog also. I advise you to write at least two articles a day, and to post those to social bookmarking sites such as Digg.com and mixx.com, and also send your articles to about 10 article directories such as ezinearticles.com or articlesbase.com. Add a video to a few of the articles you create, and you will explode your efforts big time!
