How do I set up a blog?

Even though I have been blogging on this site for some time now, I've only recently looked into information about creating or having a "successful" blog.

I should have guessed that there are plenty of blogs about blogging but it seems kind of ironic yet logical at the same time. Anyway, I'm glad there is plenty of information available.

From the information I found I set up a new blog about photography (my favorite "hobby") at www.BestPhotoTip.com.
I have set up some methods to monetize it with affiliate links and adsense and what's cool is that most of the posts there are automatically generated by Unique Article Wizard. This is really cool because it saves me a lot of time not needing to write a ton of posts.

Now, I have heard from Dave Taylor, AskDaveTaylor.com, that if the search engines think the content is identical to another site, they will give priority to the site that posted the info first.
So hopefully the articles are truly unique.
Either way, I'm pretty pleased with it so far. Please check out the site and give me any feedback you may have.
Oh yeah, I am aware that one of the pages is not finished yet. :-)

And if you want to check out how to have the automated content yourself you can grab the plugin for free through the link at the very bottom of the sales page found here.

Then go to BlogTactics.com for a video of how to set it up or if you're not sure which link will let you get the plugin for free.

As I said before, there are so many blog sites that I'm just going to list a few sites that I've found useful immediately and they also have a huge selection of posts and resources.

First one is Matt Garrett's Blog Tactics that I mentioned a moment ago. www.BlogTactics.com

Second is ProBlogger.com Some good info about how to earn money from blogging.

(If you're one of those people that think bloggers shouldn't make money blogging then just ignore the monetization parts on these sites I'm listing.)

Third is the Blogging course at Simpleology. (You know I have a hard time not recommending Simpleology stuff. It's just so cool! ) You can get their blogging course for free by following the instructions here.

And fourth is Dave Taylor's info at Intuitive.com/blog. Dave has been using the internet since 1980. No that is not a typo. 1980!!! I don't think I need to say more about why you should listen to him. But if I do, he really, really, really knows what he is talking about and it's good quality free info. Check it out!
