E-learning means learning through the internet. It is also known as online or electronic learning. The courses which provide such type of learning are known as e-learning courses, like 'e-MBA'. To take advantage of these courses, you must be familiar with the net and its technologies like web browsing, e-mails, blogs, voice chat, text chat, web 2.0, wikis, RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds and video conferencing.

I will show you how blogs can help you in getting all the assistance you need to successfully complete your online course.

If you are reading this article, then you already know about web browsing and e-mails. So I will not discuss on these two topics. A blog is an online diary in which people write about their day to day experiences. It is also known as the web log and is used to write articles on a particular topic like cars. It looks just like a normal web page. All popular web logs are topic based and can be on virtually any topic you can think of. Examples include: cars, bikes, e-learning, interactive whiteboards, celebrities, search engine optimization, internet marketing, MBA, electronic products, home appliances, science, travel, events, mathematics, physics, politics, employment, companies, industries etc.

To develop a blog, you need only two things: content and a host. You can develop content in a word processor like MS Word and then upload the content to a host. A host is a website which host your web log on its server so that anybody on the net can read it. The majority of such websites provide a free hosting facility in lieu of ads on your web logs, like http://www.blogger.com There are some websites which charge a nominal fee for such type of services.

Through blog sites you can even change the formatting of your page, add your favorite links, upload your picture and allow or disallow comments from your readers. You can search for blogs, (topic wise or category wise) either on the host site or in an online directory. So next time you need help on a particular topic like MBA, you know where you should go and what you should do.

Entrepreneurs make money blogging using two main types of business models. The most common way that people turn blogging into a profit making machine is to contact different companies that will want to reach your readers to buy advertising. Another way that money can be made is to help a single brand improve its image by creating a positive association between your blog and their product in the minds of purchasers. You can make lots of money with either method, especially if you use your marketing skills.

There are two basic ways that you can recruit companies to buy advertising on your site, if that is why you are blogging. If you want sponsors to put ads on your site you can let someone else take care of recruiting them or you can recruit them yourself so that all of the proceeds will go to you. If you don't have time to recruit sponsors, then you may want to do what many other people do. They make money through Google's AdSense program, which has numerous advantages. One of the best advantages is that it takes very little effort on the part of the blogger to start making money. Most people find, though, that they make less money than they had planned from their blog.

A more lucrative way of making money through blogging is by recruiting companies to put their ads and links on your blog yourself. You may want to do this yourself, especially if you have contacts in different companies that may be interested in advertising on your blog. If you have a sales background, you may also do very well in selling advertising yourself. The only problem with selling advertising directly to companies is that it will take a sizable readership to attract the companies to buy ads, and this means that you may have to complete several months of work before you begin to see the money through blogging.

Established companies are trying to find a way that they can get into the lucrative business of blogging. One of the ways that they are getting into the blogging business is by creating blogs to put a friendly face on their company. They will have an experienced blogger create a blog that will appeal to their prospective customers to create a positive attitude about their company and the brand that they are trying to sell. You would be surprised by the number of bloggers who didn't plan on making money blogging that have been contacted by a company with a substantial financial offer to blog for them.

You can make money blogging. You just need to learn about the different ways to make money so that you will be more knowledgeable about the process. Then you can type your way to making money.
