How to Start a Film Blog

1. Begin with the blog. First off, you need to register a blog somewhere. One popular site is Blogspot, which has been improving over the past years, and offers some of the best design templates around. For ease of use it is one of the best.
2. Choose a theme. The next step is to plan out exactly what you will be saying on the blog. For example, will you review all films or only a certain genre? For one, there are hundreds of blogs focused on genre films, the most popular being the horror film. You should consider more than one film genre to explore. You never know: your tastes may change down the line and you will get sick of writing horror film reviews. But you need to know what to write too.

3. Write different pieces. Don’t just write film reviews. If you do that, unless you have no career, it will be far too time consuming. A good blog article is 50 to 300 words on average. Try to keep your posts no more than 250. Readers don’t mind longer posts, but this will help you. Remember you need at least three posts a week. So if you write a film review that pushes 600 words, you are in luck, as you can turn this into a full weeks worth of posting. Don't just write film reviews. Most of us will miss movies some weeks, maybe don’t want to write a review, or just cannot write a huge review in the first place. So what you do is write some general, keyword oriented articles. Can you write a short article on one of your favorite directors? Can you write a piece on a certain theme in films? Can you write a top ten list of fantasy films, horror films, or maybe foreign films? This should be easy if you are a film fan. The longer it is, the better, but no need to make huge pieces—just write what you can.
4. Advertise your blog. Where are you currently reading film reviews? Are they in a local paper or on a website? You may be able to get film reviews published on other sites. Or you can exchange links with websites or bloggers by writing posts for them. On the Internet, if you want to make money you need to keep the content rolling in. So many small sites will be more than interested in publishing your film review in exchange for a short paragraph plugging your blog.
5. Make money. Can you make money doing all this? Yes, you certainly can. And you might even be able to see free movies whenever you want. But the blogging advertising world is growing. One easy way to make some spare change is to sign up with Amazon Associates, and sell DVDs through the site for a small commission. If your blog gets a steady readership, you will be able to start doing paid posting on the site for some extra income. Who knows, it could turn into a career.

How to Create Your Own Profitable Dating Website

1. Come up with a concept for your dating website. The concept not only includes the look of the site, but how it will differ from the competition. To help your dating site compete with other dating sites, you might consider building your dating website around a niche. For example, a dating website for Atheists or NASCAR enthusiasts.
2. Design your website. If you lack web design skills you may enter a search for dating website templates and come across many sites that have pre-designed dating website templates available for sale. In order to successfully design membership pages, you need to incorporate a database that stores your members information. Some templates will incorporate these database configurations. You may need to hire an expert to help customize these templates and upload them to your server for you if you are a novice.

3. Incorporate a payment processor into your dating site. In order for you to charge customers you must have a payment processing script incorporated into your website. There are many payment processing companies that will provide a convenient script that can be incorporated into your website. You can also hire an expert to program your payment processing into your site. Some popular sites to hire programming experts are Elance.com and Guru.com.
4. Purchase your domain name and hosting. There are many web hosting companies that will sell you both hosting services and a domain name. The most popular companies are Yahoo Domains and GoDaddy.com
5. Upload your dating website to your host using a FTP program. Uploading websites that require databases requires more expertise. You can contact your web host for instructions on how to upload your site, or have an expert do it for you.
6. Once your site is uploaded you will want to test it to make sure all aspects are operating correctly.
7. Profitize your website by incorporating ad steams like Google Adsense into your web pages. There are other advertising streams like Doubleclick.com and Chitika.com that can also be incorporated into your site. Once you are approved by these companies, you will have to copy and paste their ad script into your web pages.
8. Fill your website with members. This is the most important step to making your site profitable. First, you should ask your friends and family members to create a profile to help fill up your site. This will also help others feel more comfortable with trying out your site. You can also offer members discounts on membership if they refer other members.
9. Market your website. Offer a free membership. Maybe the membership will be free for the first month, or free until the member wants to connect with another member. It is important to offer specials to attract customers to your site.You also want to create a pay-per-click campaign with Google and/or Yahoo. This will help advertise your website to potential customers. (For more information on setting up pay-per-click campaigns through Google and Yahoo click on the link in Resources.)

Instructions on How to Make a Website for Free

1. The Squidoo publishing platform makes creating a free website point-and-click simple. Squidoo's creators claim that as of February 2010, it had more than 1.4 million (Squidoo's name for a website) in its system. With Squidoo, you combine pre-made modules and your own content to create a lens. Besides simple components that support things like text and graphics, there are modules that display YouTube videos, Flickr photos and other media. There are even modules that connect your lens to online vendors such as Amazon and eBay, so you can sell items from your lens.You can create an unlimited number of lenses (websites) for free. The Web address of each lens takes the form of XYZ.squidoo.com, where 'XYZ' is the name you assign to your lens, and the rest of the address is the Squidoo domain name. Squidoo runs Google AdSense ads on each lens, and popular lenses earn a small share of that money, so even if you don't do any sales-related activities yourself, Squidoo can earn you some money.

Wetpaint combines the elements of blogs, forums, social networks and wikis (sites that allow visitors to contribute content) so you can create a free website that emphasizes contributions from, and interaction with, visitors.

To earn money, you can opt to have Google AdSense ads or links to Amazon.com (through the Amazon Associates merchant program) appear in your blog posts.
