You can redirect your blog home page to a static or stand alone page. Creating page is simillar to creating post rather you can't modify your permalink. So it would be better to keep page title within 40 characters.

          Blogger Campaign

            Here you can campaign means advertise for your blog through Google Adword which is not a free service. If you want more visitors to your blog then go for it.

            Blogger Adsense

              Blogger Adsense is a lucrative hope for every blogger who want to earn through their blog contents. It is very rare for Bloggers to have an Adsense account. The main and embarassing reason is your content and Adsense policy. The more genuine and more responsive contents you will have the more the chance of getting approval for Adsense. So try to keep posting twice in a week with genuine contents for two months, that means not copy paste contents or otherwise your own contents  and then apply for Adsense and wait for approval.

              And the final word

                As I told it is possible atleast to be a master of littile things, so keep faith upon yourself and continue your work. If you find extra leisure time then put it into creation of your own content. Internet is otherwise called as content repository. Here more you have content more you will be stable. So find your interests, write your interests and convert it into your contents. And your content one day will be a recognition of your interest.

                  How to Redirect Blogger Page to a Static Page

                  Hi there, we often think to put all of our links and contents in a single page so that our readers will feel easy to navigate to all our content. But while writing blogs specifically in this free Blogger platform it is not easy to maintain all these things in a single page. Though you can create a page and put everything else you want to put inside but it is not always as a home page. Every time your readers visit your blog it always show a number of posts you recently posted but not a static page in which you put everything else there and wanted to show off in front of your reader. Here is an example of such type blog - Breaking Knowledge. Any time you will open this blog it will redirect to a static page automatically which will look like a website home page. So changing your blogs to your own designed website is not difficult. Even you can change your blog template as your own template and later you can redirect to third party domain which will further become a website of your own. Maintaining blog means you are almost maintaining a website. Today most of websites on internet were first blogs then became websites. It is easy and you will learn in this tutorial step by step.

Internet is a vast source of learning that means you no need to go anywhere for reading and this way you will be saving time and money. People on internet will never prefer for fraudsters or low quality content providers. If you have power of writing then show them what you are made up of! Choose your particular interest on writing and focus on its related area which is important in content writing market. Internet is a vast source of knowledge and whose door opens from search engine and search engine works on keyword researches. The more you put keywords in your content the more it will be visible to search engines and more people will be reaching your content. To optimize your content as per search engine is called as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) which you will learn later in our other tutorials. So let's focus on our topic. Let's say you are writing about Moviesand Reviews. what the related area you can discover and how can you convert them to keywords. If you type movie in search engine, you will get billions of result containing word movie and some other words very particular to your location, It may contain results like Indian MoviesHollywood MoviesBollywoodMoviesmoviesmaza.inMovieHuntertamilrocker etc. If you watch closely, these are actually keywords which are filtered by search engine. If you want more keywords then you can look at bottom side of search engine where it shows more related searches which the local people are searching for. I hope you got idea about keywords. To know more about keywords visit our Keywords Research Tutorial. Let's come to point. Pick a big story such as a festival, a music party, how to prepare a recipe etc which you are interested in and write all about it you know. Create your blog and put your contents in its scratch pad and design at your best then publish it. That's it! Upto now you were on burden that what is writing, how to write, why should I write etc and etc. The tutorial not shows how to write best, it just shows tips and tricks that you can use for online earning. To create a blog visit here and to create website visit here(Please note all links are real as of my knowledge, if any ads come in between please skip the add at right top corner). While creating blog you must choose appropriate name for your blog. In blog url don't put more than one keyword. Suppose you are writing about movie reviews and downloads, then don't choose your url as moviedownload.blog.com or moviereviews.blog.com. Better it would be if you choose some brand name looking like tamilrockz, masalamovi, mentalclub etc or else put one word and another from other source like green umbrella, breaking knowledge, movie hunter which have some meaning with single keyword. When I started blogging that time I wanted to create one  blog which would provide you programming, coding, blogging tips and tricks. While searching on internet I came to know about branding own business which I felt it could be better for my business and started one blog named as BLOGBIR (First word is related to blog, second is my name) which sounds like a brand with seven letters only. But while searching for url it showed me that the url is not available so I put a prefix and made as iblogbir.blogspot.com and same technique I used for Facebook pages, Twitter pages and other social media pages. There are many techniques for designing and editing blogs which you'll learn in another tutorial. There are many blog hosting websites such as BloggerWordpressTypepadTumblr etc which provides free blogging platform with there own technology and designing. Those blog design you can edit and make as you want to look so that your blog visitors will appreciate your blog. For example the blog 'BREAKING KNOWLEDGE' which template is redesigned from Blogger Template. Here you can see how Blogger page is redirected to a static page so that everything you want to keep on a home page becomes easy. Every blog website provides blog template editing features which you can use it for redesigning blog template asyour own template and for this you should have basic CSS knowledge which is easy and you can learn at www.w3schools.com. If you know using Firefox Developer Tools for web pagedesign, it will be easy for you editing any web page. After all if you succeed in the blog design you can transfer blog to your own website. After designing and writing a blog it comes about publishing. After writing your article it is easy to publish your article at a single click by clicking the publish button, but can you accomplish yourself that your work is over. Might be you are thinking everything will be done by Google automatically but one thing is sure that you won't get many visitors as you want. And so is this tutorial and explains you the short way. How to get many visitors to your blog and how to earn from your blog or website in a short time is the aim of this tutorial. After publishing it is the work of SEO which brings your content on top of search engine result and many visitors come to know about it. If you are not familiar with SEO, then follow these short cut tips to get many visitors within less time. Every blog has a feed url which will help you share your article over every social media automatically that means you will be getting automated free traffic to your blog. You must be crazy about these things but it is possible through third party tools like IFTT and DLVR which takes your feed url and share your post links to the social media you choose. The process is - While you post an article its link goes to the third party tool through your feeds and they share them in different social media as they have connections with them. In the same manner if you connect google plus account to your blog it also provides auto sharing your posts. Another way is creating feeds through google.feedburner.com. Here you will create feeds through your blog's RSS url and connect your twitter account and your each and every post links will be converted as tweets on your twitter profile and your followers will be able to know about your posts. There is another website which creates feed url of blogs, google plus profiles and pages, facebook profiles and pages, twitter pages and other social media profiles. Here you only need to provide the unique id of your blog or social media profile, then a feed url will be created by the website which you can use any where. Another benefit of url sharing is that you can earn by sharing url also. As I said before CoinUrl is an advertisement platform which provides banner ads as well as shortening url. Yes! shorten any url through CoinUrl and share it in your social media profile. Any visitor view your profile and click the link, you will get paid. Similarly if you create feed url of your social media profile and use it in IFTT and DLVR to share it in your other social media profile then you must realize what is the power of social media. More over if you combine all add platforms as explained bellow you will be fully monetizing your website. In a single word simply writing content and earning money without any extra work. If you still want to become more lazy then follow another method below.

                  Auto publishing blogs through email or PHP

                  Every blog has auto publishing facility through e-mail which you can find in settings tab. After activating this feature write or copy paste your content in e-mail body and give suitable subject name then send it to the email address which is showed in blog settings tab and that's it everything will be done automatically. If you won't want to use e-mail then use PHP to send email. For this you have to create a php page having mail facility(you can use your own email id and password) with three to four controls where you will put your content and subject name and click on send botton. In this you won't have to login into your email again and again. Yes this is a very shortcut way of publishing articles and earning quickly which I already using. If you don't have access to PHP then visit Hostinger which provides free PHP hosting whithout any advertisements. PHP is simple to use like javascript but is a server side scripting language that means your script will be running on the server not in web browsers as javasript and this server is free of cost at Hostinger. Not only PHP you can get free MySQL database access in Hostinger which means power to you. You can use MySQL with PHP to automate your contents.
