You can start blogging using blogger.com. Blogger blogs are free to set up and you can earn through Google AdSense and affiliate marketing. When you start the blog do not focus too much on earning. Create a quality blog that has valuable information for your visitors and you will certainly earn as much as you deserve.

Go to www.blogger.com and start a blog in three easy steps. The steps are clearly explained on the blogger site. Still if you need help you can view some videos here - http://coursesuseek.com/make-money.html

Respected Sir,

I intend to start on paid forum posting. Do you have any video tutorial on how a newbie should start covering the very basics to advance level.

One more advice. How to monetize blogs in regional languages (like bengali). Is there any PPC co. or affiliate program who i can use. My wife is a cooking enthusiast and I want to help her start a blog with fresh recipes at the same time make decent earning out of it. Sir, can you guide us in this regard.

Are you interested in posting in forums and getting paid or are you interested in starting a service for others - that is others will use your company to post in forums and you supply them the people who get paid for their posting?

In both cases you need to search and check out some of the top sites that are offering similar services. Even if you want to start a company of your own, you should start by joining an existing company to get first hand experience. To begin with you can start posting on forums and understand the procedure.

You will find a search box there and you can search for "get paid to post in forums" and "pay per post forum" etc.

About Monetizing blogs in regional languages.....

Advantages

Right now there are not many blogs in regional languages and your blog will come up on top in search engines and you may get a lot of traffic from that specific group of readers.

You will be able to post content relevant to that specific group and hence the content will be very valuable.

Limitations

You will not get traffic from people who do not read that language.

You will not get many ads for Google AdSense in that regional language.

How can you have best of both worlds?

You can have the titles of posts in English.

You can have categories and tags in English.

You can have the post in Bengali.

You can include either a translated version in English using Google Transliteration or just put in a gadget for people who want to translate it.

For the gadget see a sample here:

http://www.indianhealthyrecipe.com

For recipe sites you can join affiliate programs such as "menu planning" and others from clickbank.

Check out some samples here:

http://instantdosamix.com

http://www.balanceddietblog.com

http://www.want2learn.com/recipes

http://instantreadymix.blogspot.com

Because you will have the title in English, tags and categories in English you will get AdSense ads.

Because you can have links of affiliate programs you can earn more.

How do you start?

You should either start with a blogger blog or a wordpress blog.

www.instantdosamix.com is a sample of wordpress blog and http://instantreadymix.blogspot.com is a sample of blogger blog.
