You're here > 01-Table of Contents - Making Money with AdSense > 04-01-Things You Need to Create a Blog

1.  Topics to Discuss in Your Blog

There are many topics that you can write in your blog that you want to share with others.  You may choose any subject related to: arts and entertainment, cars and other vehicles, computers and electronics, education and communication, family life and relationship, finance and business, food and health, hobbies and crafts, home and gardening, pets and animals, sports and fitness, travel, and many others.

2.  Computer Table, Chair and Office Supplies

3.  Computer, Monitor, Printer, Speaker

4.  Internet Connection

5.  Domain Name

Think of a name for your blog that is not owned by anybody.  To find out if your chosen blog name is available, type the phrase domain name in the search box located above, select any domain name website from the list, and type your chosen domain name on the appropriate box.  When your chosen domain name is available, use it when you create your blog with Blogger.com.  You can change your domain name anytime without losing your blog posts or articles.

6.  Computer Software

You will need some computer software to prepare your blogs.  I recommend the following free software:

  • Writer and Calc (with conversion to PDF format) from OpenOffice3.org.  You can download the package in your computer hardware.  You can use Writer, Calc and other programs even if you are not connected to the Internet.
  • Paint from Microsoft which was already installed in your computer when you bought it.  You can find Paint by clicking Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint.  You will use Paint in creating images that you want to post in your blog.
7.  Personal Information

When you create an account with Google.com and Blogger.com, you will provide some personal information such as name, home or mailing address, email address, gender (male or female), telephone and mobile number and birthday.

If you monetize your blog and you will be paid with commissions by direct electronic deposits to your bank account by Google.com, you will be required to provide additional information such as your bank name and bank account number.

8.  Public Library Card

You need to apply for a public library card in order to borrow books, magazines and other reading materials.  You can get some hints, ideas and information that you may want to include in your blog.

9.  Account with Google.com and Blogger.com

You have to create an email address and password with Google.com.  You will provide some personal information in order to complete your account application.  Once your application is accepted by Google.com, you will use the same email address and password when accessing your account with Google.com, Blogger.com, YouTube.com, Google AdSense and other Google products and services.

10.  Free Blog Platform from Blogger.com

Once you have Google email address and password, you can apply for an account with Blogger.com.  You will provide some personal information to complete your application.  Once your application is approved, you can familiarize yourself with the Blogger dashboard and start creating your blog.
