Today’s world, the internet has become one of the best places for you to market your products and services to the whole world. Ever better the internet had become the best place to START your own online BUSINESS. The internet is a marketing TOOL for anybody to use and accomplish whatever purpose he/she wants. And there is no restriction in term of language barrier, educational qualification, nationality, culture, or age barrier. Many students who graduate from school are jobless and they tirelessly look for a white-collar job but no job comes their way. Why waste your time looking for a job that your state government can’t do for you? Get up and do something to make money online on your own. It doesn’t matter if you are third class degree holder, school leaver, etc you can start your business and earn your income with ease.
At this point, I will focus on how to get started with internet business. There are some tools you will need for the internet business. These steps are outlined below:
• Computer System
• Internet connection
• Email Address
• Website/Blog site
• Domain Name
• Website hosting
• A product or service to sell to the people
• Marketing/promotion of your website
Let me discuss some of them.
Website/Blog site: You will need a website or blog site for your internet business. For starter, you don’t need to spend your money on creating a blog since it is free. I will discuss it later in this page.
Domain name registration: A domain name is the name of your website. If your website is called www.yahoo.com , then your domain name is yahoo.com. It is your duty to decide on what you want your domain name to be. Once you decide on a domain name, you need to register it. You will have to go to a domain name registrar to register it. There are thousands of domain name registrars but I will mention only three of them. They are
www.007names.com
www.dynadot.com
www.cheapname.com
Web Hosting: So, you have your domain name, you need to get a hosting account. A web host is like your landlord cyberspace. When you design a website on your computer, you are the only one that can view it. Your web host is the one that can file online so the world can see it. Hosting accounts are cheap. You can visit www.gisthost.com to pay for a hosting account. You will be directed on what to do but make sure your host has “FANTASTICO” so that you can keep your forums, blog scripts and contact forms updated to the version.
BLOGGING
Blog is simply an interactive website where you can communicate with your audience or customer effectively and it is very easy to create a blog. The blog has been one of the easiest ways to generate instant cash. There are two forms of blog: the free and the paid.
FREE BLOG
For starter, it is very simple to create a blog even within five minutes. Before you create a free blog, you need to have your Gmail account. The registration is also free. You can get one by visiting www.gmail.com for your Gmail account. Go to www.blogger.com for your blogger account. Click on ‘CREATE A BLOG’ and you will be directed on what to do and follow the instruction accordingly.
Once your account has been created, you will start writing your original articles and publish it on your blog. Then click on ‘View Post’ to see how your blog looks like. I suggest that you write an original article for the purpose of search engine ranking. Your content must not contain grammar errors because it may affect your search engine ranking. However, you can learn a little knowledge about search engine optimization (SEO), go to www.seo4dummies.com
Last but not the least; you must not rest on your oars. Tell your friends about your website. The more a visitor comes to your site, the more you get paid.
PAID BLOG
As discuss earlier, you will need a domain and hosting to set up your wordpress and getting domain and hosting is very easy. You can also get a full year hosting opportunity from www.gisthost.com for N3000 only.
HOW TO SET UP YOUR BLOG
You will only need eight clicks of your mouse to set up your world class. Below is the step by step guide:
Type the name of the domain and add /cpanel on the browser e.g. www.yourdomain.com/cpanel. A pop-up comes up asking for the username and password and click on “OK” It will take you to cpanel. Now, there is an icon called fantastic; this is what you will be using to set up your blog. When the cpanel opens, scroll down and click on “fantastic”.
When you click on the fantastic icon, it will take you to the next page. When it opens, you will see “Blog” by the left side of the page; below the blog, you will see “b2evolution” “Nucleus” and “wordpress”. What you will be using to set up our blog is wordpress; now click on the wordpress.

A form will open. What you will be doing here is to fill the form with necessary details. Just fill in these details below:

It will take you to a new page. When it opens, click on “Finish installation”.
When you click on “Finish installation”, it will take you to the next page; on this page, what you need to do is to supply your email address and click on “Send Email’. The system will send you your blog login details and take you to the next page.
When you get to the next page, click on “Back to wordpress”.
Wow! You have just set up your blog. What you should do now is to type your domain on the address bar to see how your blog looks like.
HOW TO START GENERATING INSTANT CASH FROM YOUR BLOG
Below are 4 ways you can use to start generating money from your blog:
Pay Per Lead (PPL): This is simply means referring people to a site. When the person registers successfully, you get paid for doing that. What you do is get the pay per lead’s unique URL and place it on your blog; whenever somebody clicks on the unique URL given to you by the pay per lead programs; you get paid for doing that. This is done by copying it and pasting it on your blog.
Affiliate Marketing: This is another unique way to start making money from your blog. With affiliate marketing, you don’t need to have your own product. All you need to do is to register for free in one of the affiliate programs and start promoting a product through your blog. When you make a sale from the unique URL given to you, you get your commission instantly. You can register with www.clickbank.com, www.paydotcom.com, www.cj.com and do search for free affiliate programs in the Google.
Selling an e-book: You can sell an e-book on your blog or even compile your best blog post into one folder and sell it as an e-book.
Article writing: So, here’s how it works: You create an account with them and you also create an account with Google Adsense. You login and write content to your “blog” on their site. They serve ads on the pages that have your content. You try to write as often as you can. They publish your content to their site. Half the time you make money on the ads, half the time they do.
