How to Start A Blog for Free

1. Browse to one of the sites listed in Resources.Blogger is integrated with Google Adsense, which can make you a little cash on the side if your blog becomes popular. Google also allows you to claim a domain name for your blog. Instead of myblog.blogger.com, it could be myblogsite.com. On the downside, Blogger doesn't offer much in the way of simple customization. Beyond the basic layout changes through their admin interface, you'll need to dive into the HTML and CSS to change things.WordPress, on the other hand, is free to install on any website you already own, which means complete customization. They host blogs on their site, but these have fewer options for end users. Integrating ads into a WordPress blog isn't as quick as with Blogger, but you can use any ads you like, instead of being restricted to Google Adsense.Tumblr is a little different from the other two – it's minimalistic and there are fewer personalization features, but the simple interface and follow system (similar to Facebook's like and repost system) has appeal for some users, especially more casual bloggers.
2. Sign up with the site by choosing a name for your blog, entering your information, username, password and email.Try to be descriptive when choosing the name for your blog – the name will help readers find your blog in search engines.

3. Choose a template or theme for your blog. Themes and templates can always be changed later, if you're in a hurry.If you're having difficulty picking a theme, consider your readers and the subject of your blog. The most obvious difference between blogs is the theme – a technology blog rarely looks like a home gardening blog, for example, in part because of the theme. If you understand what your readers will find most appealing, choosing a theme along that line will add some extra flair to your blog.
4. Make your first posting or customize your blog.

How to Place Ads On Your Website

1. Point your browser to the Google AdSense website. Google offers both CPC (cost-per-click) and CPM (cost-per-thousand-impression) ads. Google ads specifically relate to the content on your pages, and ads earn income either when a visitor clicks your CPC advertisement or the CPM ad appears to a visitor who views your site. Google AdSense is ideal if you have lots of quality content, but you must keep your site updated so that traffic continues to flow to your pages and your earnings continue. Click the 'Sign Up Now' button on the Google AdSense page and log in with your Google account to begin.
2. Go to the Amazon Associates website to place ads for Amazon products on your pages.

As an associate, you have the option to create links and banners to specific items, or build widgets and aStores to sell multiple goods in the categories you choose. Money is earned when visitors purchase products on your site, and you earn a referral rate percentage based on the type of payment plan you select. Amazon provides tools that walk you through the ad and code creation, but products can become outdated, so a regular check of your links is needed. Click the 'Build an aStore Now' button on the 'aStore for Amazon Associates' page to register for an account.

3. Navigate to the MaxBounty site to include CPA (cost-per-action) advertising options on your website. Your affiliate account gives you access to higher-payout ads that range from marketing select products to promoting online quizzes.

Registration is free, but you must be interviewed over the phone to see if your site is a good fit for MaxBounty's advertising opportunities. Click the 'Become an Advertiser' link on the MaxBounty Advertisers page to get started.

How to Generate Leads for Life Insurance

1. Develop a website to attract people, not just a pretty website that no one will see. Design a website for your target audience. Play to the strengths of your insurance products. Employ the services of a company that specializes in search engine optimization (SEO) to help you develop copy in such a way that the search engines will include your site as early in their listings as possible. Then, use Google AdWords and AdSense to make your advertising work and to make people gravitate to your website. Also, your website should offer something to people who are willing to meet with you to discuss their needs.
2. Produce collateral materials that can be used for a number of purposes. For example, you should produce postcards that should be sent to life insurance prospects after you have called, thanking them for their time. You should also produce brochures about the services that you provide and send them to people in advance of your first call.

3. Engage the services of a lead-generation company to find people who may be interested in purchasing more life insurance. You can either find a list broker who specializes in financial products, or you can have your products available to consumers who contacted the website for quotes on products they are planning to buy. There are list brokers that will also handle your direct mail program. Many have artists and writers on their staff as well as printing and mailing capabilities.
4. Prepare an invitation that will run in your local newspaper, and invite people to join you for lunch or dinner to hear what special services you offer. This is especially fruitful in areas where there is a high concentration of wealth.
5. If you are just beginning to make your mark in the insurance world, try to enlist those people who already respect your wise counsel. Make contact with those people to make appointments. Also, expand your database of leads by asking each person for the names of others who might like to talk with you.
6. Purchase leads from a number of lead-generating companies that specialize in life insurance. An example of such a company is iLeads )See Resources below). You can expect to pay $35, or more, for each lead depending on a number of different criteria.
7. Check your local newspaper often for announcements of corporate appointments and promotions, because those people most likely may want to supplement their life insurance coverage.
8. Make cold calls. Especially if you are just getting started, you will find it to be both productive in generating leads and a way to build confidence by learning the products and services you can offer.

How to Put Keywords Into Google Ads With AdWords

1. Set up an account with Google AdWords. You will need a Google ID, which can be the same as your ID for other Google services such as Gmail or Adsense. Once you open your account, you will be given the opportunity to enter payment information and set up your ad campaign.
2. Choose the keywords that you want to use for your ad campaign. You can use the keyword tool provided by Google to brainstorm for keywords. When you type in a word, it will give you a list of related keywords that you can use for your ad campaign. Choose from the list of available keywords for your campaign. Your ad can be triggered when someone types in one of these keywords.

3. Write an ad for your campaign based on the keywords you selected. You should include one or two keywords in the headline and the description for your ad. When potential customers are searching for a particular word or phrase in Google, they will be more likely to click on your ad if one of the keywords they are searching for appears in your ad. Think about what the customer would actually be looking for and try to convey this in the ad you write. Avoid errors in grammar and punctuation as this can make your ad look unprofessional. You must limit the ad to 25 characters for the title, 70 characters for the ad text and 35 characters for the displayed URL.
4. Monitor the performance of your ads to see if they are doing well. One way to gauge the success of your ads is to look at the click-through rate. This represents a percentage of how many people are clicking on your ad. For example, if 100 people see your ad and 5 click on it, your click-through rate is 5 percent. When you have a high click-through rate, it improves your ad position with Google and you will not have to pay as much for each click.
