All the best websites start with solving a problem.
At IncomeDiary we focus on the make “money online niche”.
Making money online is something that interests a lot of people, from many different demographics.
As soon as we started we had people ask us how to start their first blog.
And once they had started their blog, how could they make money from it?
Some even asked us to build websites for them.
There was a PROBLEM that people wanted help in SOLVING!
From the responses we where getting and our own research it was clear there was a demand.
But how do we make money from this demand?
In the case of IncomeDiary we knew a lot of our income would come from affiliate links.
That is where we started.
If you are a first time blogger you will need a domain, hosting, blog design, email list management.
Fortunately there are plenty of affiliate programs for services like this and in any case we needed all these services ourselves.
As an example if someone signed up for a domain, hosting and a blog design through our affiliate links, we would earn $100.
All we needed to do was convince 50 people to follow our advice and we would earn $5000.
Better still we where recommending products and services that we where using ourselves!
In blogging as in all business having a plan is essential.
