Guide to Making Money Online with a Video Blog - Part 1

Video blogs also known as Vlogs. Video blogs aren't much different than the traditional blogs except Vlogs present content and information to the visitors in the form of video instead of text.

Video blogs are interesting and interactive. With a video blog, you can communicate and reach visitors more effectively than words. There are things that simply hard to express well in writing.

You can truly express your comments and feels on some hot issues or breaking news. Your visitors will hear your tones and see your facial expression. Words and writing sometimes just cannot truly illustrate your feelings to readers.

Setting up a video blog is similar to setting up a traditional blog. You need to first choose a blogging platform. There are several choices but Wordpress platform is highly recommended. Then register for a domain name and select a web hosting package.

Once you have your domain name and hosting account set up, you may proceed to install your Wordpress blog into your hosting account. After the installation process completed, your Wordpress blog is up and running but you'll need to change the Wordpress theme. Look for a theme that best suit the topic of your video blogging. Here are some of sites that provide free Wordpress themes:

  • Wpthemesfree.com
  • Freewpthemes.net
  • Fresheezy.com
  • WpSkins.org

  • A camera for creating videos
  • A video editing software
  • A microphone
  • A tripod for creating your video posts
Once your Wordpress blog is 100% up and running and you became familiar to the process of creating and posting videos to your video blog, then you are set to start making money online. Just like the traditional blogs, video blogs also provide multiple streams of income sources to the blog owners. Below are some of the ways to make money online with a video blog:
