I found this while looking for a forum this morning - talk about happy discoveries.
In this complete guide, I’m going to teach you how to start a money-making blog. We will begin with the mindset you should have as a successful blogger, how to pick a lucrative niche, how to technically set up the blog (WordPress, theme, plugins, pages), how to write excellent content, how to promote it to get readers and how to monetize your blog correctly. If you want to become a successful blogger, this information is both uplifting and depressing. It is possible to make money blogging; lots of people are already doing it.
