How many times you have heard that you can earn extra income through blogging? Or you can become rich through blogging. Especially in the recent bloggers meetups in Pakistan, you must have been impressed with young bloggers earning a decent amount of money through blogging. After those meetups, we have witnessed many new blogs coming up; some productive and few unproductive, hoping to earn extra revenue from it.

How many times did you think to start a blog in order to earn money? or to make it a profession; that is to make it your fulltime job/business? You might have done the research work also. Such as what blogging is, how to blog, eligibility to become a blogger etc. You might have come across with various opinions like not just any other person can become a blogger, or everybody can not earn through it, passion is required, skills are required, you gotta be intelligent and blah blah.

But wait a moment, Aren’t we forgetting the basic principle/objective of business/entrepreneurship? the sole objective is to “earn profit”. I mean what if a person has good and competent entrepreneurial skills but he is not good at writing? or as they say, he doesn’t have “passion” to write. To hell with that, let me solve your mystery. You are not good at writing, leave it, don’t write. Yes you can still become an owner of a blog without writing yourself.

Another interesting and most wanted post

Are you a beginner? or a bit mature blogger? And not ready to spend a cent on buying domain or hosting, yet you want to earn from Adsense, Well this post is for you

I know that Blogger.Com or BlogSpot.Com is quite simple platform and is good for starters. But for bit advanced bloggers, it sucks! of course because of limitted features. Then what’s the solution? WTF you guys are here? Yes! The solution is WordPress; that is the most advanced blogging software so far and is used by many professional bloggers. Now Again you guys know that you people can have a free blog there like you.WordPress.Com but at this time, they don’t allow you to display your ads on your wordpress hosted blog. So what you can do is, install the WordPress software at your own web hosting space and point a domain name to it. And don’t worry! You can have them for free

FREE DOMAIN NAME: www.co.cc : They offer you a free domain name like You.co.cc and they also offer Domain forwarding, DNS, MX, A Record features. So you can go ahead and register a decent domain name for your blog.

FREE WEB HOSTING: You can get free unlimited hosting from QuotaLess.Com. They also offer Zantastico Script Installer that is similar to CPanel’s Fantastico. This tool allows you to install many scripts including WordPress with the matter of few clicks. You can check Wizardies’s Free Hosts List for more hosting companies.

So you are done now You can now install custom themes and plugins, and of course can place advertisements etc. If you get in any kinda trouble or error, do post your problem in comments, I’ll try my best to solve that

hmmm !! Here comes a very interesting and most wanted post!  We see that the lot of online jobs or freelancing work is being outsourced to the developing countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. But they get disheartened when they come to know that their client can only pay through PayPal. Now what these freelancers do? They beg paypal accounts from people and when they get failed, they have no other option except for refusing the project.

But now!! We have a solution! Here it come. . . .

2Checkout is internationally trusted and reputed company. They allow you to accept PayPal or CreditCard payments. This will allow customers to pay for products and services with the funds in their PayPal account, even if the supplier does not have their own PayPal account and only uses 2Checkout.

The PayPal payment option will be available for all non-recurring orders in the following currencies:

• Australian Dollar (AUD)
• Canadian Dollar (CAD)
• Euro (EUR)
• British Pound (GBP)
• Japanese Yen (JPY)
• U.S. Dollar (USD)

2CO’s one time setup fees is $49

I have seen people wondering around and searching someone who has a credit card. I remember when I registered my first domain name, I was 15 years of age that time. It was a tiring experience.. after some research work, I rushed to my dad and asked for his credit card. He is kind of tech superstitious he doesn’t trust using credit cards online, since he had heard many credit cards fraud cases. So that time I managed my Uncle’s credit card to pay off for the domain.

But now.. the scenario is changing. Great financial tools have been introduced, now you don’t have to beg for a credit card because you can have your own. Yes! it is for Pakistanis also

Payoneer is reputed and trusted company that provides these cards free of cost but charges activation fees.
