You can create your own blog which doesnt cost any cent to create www.blogger.com and use google's adsense to make money. You will still need to promote or market your blog though to have more people clicking on your ads or what is called "traffic". creating google adsense does not cost any cent either www.google.com
BUILDING TRAFFIC TO YOUR SITE
Momentum is defined as "the perceived strength behind a forward shift or positive action or movement." The problem with momentum is that it can be both elusive and fleeting. So what does any of this have to do with traffic? Everything. Let me explain. If you know what you're doing, you can not only create traffic momentum for your website, you can maintain it as well.
However, the key is knowing what you're doing. That's why constantly analyzing your raw data logs is so important. They will tell you exactly what your visitors are most interested in. For example, my log files indicate copywriting, internet marketing and article marketing are the three most popular destinations on my website. It's uncanny how that hasn't varied in nearly two years. So every day before I do anything else, I add fresh, relevant content to those three areas of my website.
So how can you gain traffic momentum by analyzing your logs? By doing the same thing I do. If you continually refresh your website with the kind of relevant information your visitors are searching for, they will return to your website again and again. More importantly, they will bring their friends with them which is an added bonus.
It's sort of like positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement means rewarding your visitors for doing something you want them to do. In this case, visiting your website. You reward their actions by giving them more relevant content, because that reward makes your visitors more likely to repeat that same behavior in the future. Animals have long been trained in this manner. But instead of information, animals are rewarded with edible treats. Positive reinforcement is a powerful method for influencing your visitors behavior and building and maintaining traffic momentum.
In order to build and maintain traffic momentum for your website, it's important to think long-term as opposed to short-term. For example, running a classified ad that expires after a few days is a short-term solution that will not create any permanent links back to your site. Pay-per-click advertising is another short-term method that will not provide you with any long-term benefits.
Now I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't use pay-per-click advertising or classified ads to promote your website. That's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is the best way to build and maintain traffic momentum is to do things that will create long-lasting and permanent links back to you site.
For example, I write articles and publish them on my website. I also distribute my articles and allow them to be published on other websites as well. Why? Because writing articles is a dependable method of generating traffic to your website and creating those all important inbound links. I know that for a fact, because I do it every single day.
In addition, I post on various internet marketing forums, and I've attracted tens of thousands of visitors to my website as a direct result of my forum postings. Posting on forums also creates inbound links to your website.
Building traffic momentum essentially means hard work and patience. It means taking the time, and making a consistent effort to build and maintain your traffic. You must take consistent action every single day by writing articles, adding fresh, relevant content to your website or blog, post in forums and on blogs, and get as many quality, relevant links pointing back to your website as possible.
In closing, use the long-term traffic-building techniques I suggest in this article, and you will eventually reap the rewards of more traffic.
APPLYING FOR FREELANCING JOBS
THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN APPLYING FOR ONLINE JOBS, ESPECIALLY FREELANCING
- Brush up on your writing skills: Now that web writing and blogging jobs are commonplace, many people who didn’t set out to become writers are jumping on the bandwagon. That isn’t a criticism, because it’s very roomy up here, but if you’re background isn’t in writing it’s always a good idea to take a refresher course. I do so once a year using some free online courses. I’m guilty of using too many commas and other goofs so trust me when I say I know the importance of a brush up grammar/English usage lesson.
- Research submission and application processes: It’s not always as simple as submitting your details to a website. If you’re writing for print, there’s that whole query process. If you’re writing for the web, different sites have different criteria. For example, most employers don’t want attachments and many prefer links to your writing than your cutting and pasting to the body of an email. Research best submission practices to know what you’re getting into beforehand.
- Decide which type of writing is best for you: Blogging, online article writing, newspapers, magazines and corporate writing all follow different formats. What best suits your personality? Before seeking out work, decide what topics you’re equipped to write and which format you’re most comfortable with.
- Research pay rates and determine the best for your situation: Want to avoid being lowballed? Do your homework. Learn what the average payment is in your chosen field so you can quote and negotiate with confidence. Granted, new writers don’t get paid as much as more established writers, but you should still be able to judge an appropriate rate vs. one that is insulting.
- Browse the job ads to see what is out there. Before applying for jobs, find all the different job boards and check out a the different types of job ads available. Do this for a week or two (at least) before you start applying. This will give you an idea of the types of jobs available, what kind of work the different writing jobs entail and give you time to formulate questions, responses and prepare.
- Visit freelance writing forums: Freelance writing and blogging forums provide a goldmine of information. The residents discuss rates, employers, best practices and more. Besides, establishing yourself in these communities is good networking!
- Visit freelance and freelance writing blogs: The best way to learn the tips of the trade and where to find the best jobs is to visit different writing, blogging and freelancing blogs. Most of this information is better than anything you’ll find in books.
- Research potential employers: When you visit the job boards on a regular basis, certain names and businesses become familiar. This can be because they’re a good reliable name or they can have a high turnover rate. Research. Learn the best companies to work for - and the worst.
- Get together a list of samples: The people who are hiring want to see what your writing is like so they know if you’re a good fit. Gather together samples of your writing. If you have no experience, write a few articles on your favorite niches. Have a good selection available for when you’re ready to apply.
- Research sample cover letters: If you’re not responding to a job ad via an online application form, you’ll need to send in a cover letter briefly outlining your experience. Most employers agree the cover letter is an important bit of information. It’s the first glimpse they will have of you. Check out sample cover letters and best practices before you write up your own. There’s nothing like getting it right the first time, eh?
- Get your resume in order: If you don’t have many samples to show, you might want to put together a writing resume to show how and why you’re qualified to apply for a particular job. You may not have articles published in a legal journal, but if you worked for years as a paralegal that might be good enough to get in.
- Create a writers website or blog: Rather than scramble for writing links and samples, why not put everything together on one website. Having a writers website, in many cases, can eliminate the need for a resume and attached samples. Employers appreciate being able to see all of your information at a glance. A writers website or blog might list links to samples, experience, contact info and more.

www.sizeofpaper.comTIPS FOR YOUR FIRST JOB INTERVIEW AFTER YOU GRADUATED
Interview tips
- You've prepared your resume and covering letter, and you've been offered an interview.
- Interviews are by far the most stressful — as well as the most important — part of the job search process.
- As a start, make sure you prepare for every interview you have — and if you don’t get the job, learn as much from the experience as you can.
- If you put the covering letter and resume together yourself, you've already helped people develop an idea of the sort of person you are, and they obviously like what they see so far.
- You now have to capitalise on the goodwill you've developed.
Preparation
- Research the organisation, its operations and its reputation as an employer by sourcing information from:
- the organisation's website, annual report and other promotional material
- campus career services
- libraries
- the professional body
- recruitment consultancy
- the internet family and friends
- Useful information also is available in publications such as Graduate opportunities, Business who's who, Kompass Australia, BRW and Jobson's year book.
- Once you know more about the organisation, prepare some questions you want to ask, such as:
- Why is the position available?
- What training and induction will be given to new recruits?
- What opportunities are there for personal and professional development?
- What are the company's plans for the future?
- What attributes do you expect the successful candidate to bring to the job?
- When can I expect to hear from you?
Presentation
- You'll never have a second chance to make a good first impression, so look, act and dress professionally. As a general guide, job applicants should dress according to the workplace, which generally will be corporate and conservative.
- Be prepared to promote yourself — highlight your skills and achievements. Your resume and interview are the only opportunities you have to impress a potential employer, so you need to tell them why you are suited to the job.
The interview
- Once inside the interview room, first impressions are critical. Research shows that a candidate will make an impression on a potential employer within the first eight seconds. The rest of the interview is spent confirming the first impression or turning it around.
- It's also important to remember that what you don't say is just as important as what you do say. Try to relax and act naturally. Sit up straight, lean forward slightly to convey your interest and always maintain good eye contact with the interviewer or panel.
- Treat the interview as a two-way discussion. The interviewer wants to know more about you and you need to find out more about the position and the company.
Remember to:
- be ready to answer questions that might be 'difficult'
- be ready to let them know what you are looking for
- answer questions honestly, directly and stick to the point
- ask the interviewer to rephrase any questions you are unsure about
- Try to avoid:
- looking disinterested
- interrupting
- smoking, even if the interviewer does
- be respectful but not intimidated
- There are various styles of interviews, such a assessment centres and psychometric testing, so be prepared for anything.
Frequently asked questions
- Some questions will be asked in every interview and you should prepare some answers on the following subject areas to avoid reciting a precise answer.
Typical questions include:
- Your general background and experience
- Often the first question is a request for a summary of your background. If you're applying for your first job, focus on extracurricular activities, education and qualifications. It is quite acceptable to repeat major points listed in your resume or cover letter.
- Why do you think you are qualified for this position?
- In this context, qualifications mean everything that you believe makes you suitable for the position, including educational, employment related and personal qualifications. This could be the question that will win you the job, so your answer should be clear and memorable.
- Why do you think you are suitable for the position?
- This is where your research pays off. Your answer should include details about relevant employment, community or educational experience and a discussion on why this experience will suit the organisation, the industry it operates in and the position.
- Why did you apply for this position?
- If applying for your first job, your answer should describe what you find appealing about the position, how you prepared yourself for a career in the organisation and how you believe any part time job you currently or previously held equips you for the position.
- How does this job fit with your career objectives?
- Be ready to discuss your long term aspirations. The best approach is one that shows you have thought about your career in these terms and have taken some action towards realising your ambitions.
- The trick question
- There is always one question that prompts a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, so expect it and plan how to deal with it. Take your time to respond — the interviewers want you to do well so should be more than happy to give you the time you need. If you get really stuck, ask for a moment to consider your response, or ask to come back to it later.
Other questions you may be asked:
- What job would you like if you had a choice?
- Why do you want to work for our company?
- Why do you want to be a (job title)?
- How do you cope under pressure? Or, Please give us an example of how you have coped with pressure.
- What is your strongest attribute?
- What are your greatest achievements so far?
- What objectives did you set yourself at the beginning of your career or study?
- Have you achieved those objectives?
- What interests you most / least about (this job)?
- How would you describe your own personality?
- Can you describe a situation where you have contributed to the success of your team?
- Can you provide an example of a difficult task you have completed?
- Can you describe how you have overcome a communication problem?
- What are your spare time activities?
- Most of us dread interviews — including the interviewer. Make sure you have done all you can to be fully prepared, then relax and be yourself. Don't forget the employer needs to convince you that they have the best job available.
After the interview
- Go over in your mind how things went. What worked, what did not? How could you have been better prepared? Did you dress appropriately?
- Someone will call you to tell you if you've been successful or not. If you didn't get the job, you've got absolutely nothing to lose by asking if there is any advice on how you could improve. You may be surprised what you learn.
You might try some online jobs if you like working from home or during you spare time
