I still search Google for tips. There, I said it.

I am not THE authority on how to make money on the web. Does this shock you? I know, I know. You all come to this blog because I am clearly the next Darren Rowse.

As I was furthering my blog education I came across an article I had somehow not seen to this point. It is by blogger Courtney Tuttle. I was searching for ‘How to increase my RSS count’ when I came across his blog. He was discussing the importance of quality writing as the number one way to increase RSS count.

I agree with him but this in particular post wasn’t the one that caught my attention.

In the post about RSS count, he linked to one of his earliest posts on his website. It is called 5.263 Words to Starting a Profitable Blog. It is a fantastic piece of writing, one of the best I have read about starting a profitable blog. This article will start you on your way in helping you make money online.

Court goes step by step from creation to monetization, and I mean EVERY step. Including picking a domain, how to upload and configure Wordpress, and how to monetize among others. He created this article when his blog was only two weeks old, and you can tell because he has very few comments at the beginning.

I wish I would have had this article a few months ago, but none the less, I spent a long time reading it over today. His tips are wonderful.
