If you are not blogging you should seriously consider setting up your own blog. Google and other search engines love blogs. You can make money blogging very fast if you know the insider secrets. But before I get into to sharing a few tips about how to make money blogging, consider the following statistics.
The fact is that blogging grew 68% in 2008. 346 million people read blogs and approximately 184 million people have their blog. 58% are over the age of 35, 42% are between the ages of 18-34, which means that these people are the ones who have expendable income and regularly shop online. (SOURCE: Scribd.com/11481779/social-media-2008-statistics).
Also, you need to consider setting up accounts on social media sites such as Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter and using these accounts to point to your blog and set your blog up to point to your social media sites. WHY? Look at these statistics: 300 million are using facebook and 50% of those are active users. Currently Facebook reports daily growth of over 600,000 with women over 55 being the fastest growing segment. Most users are 35 years old or over (doubled in 2008). 70% of users are outside of the US and 65 million access facebook via mobile phones! (SOURCE: facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics).
