Windows + [Left][Right][Up][Down]	Position windows on your screen E.g. Windows + [Left] moves the current window to the left half of your screen. If you use Windows + [Up] afterwards, the current window will be placed in the upper left quarter of your screen.

How to Make Money Blogging

Let’s dive in and see how you can make a profit with your blog.

Monetize with CPC or CPM Ads

One of the most common ways bloggers make money is through placing ads on their site. There are two popular types of ads:

• CPC/PPC Ads: Cost per click (also called pay per click) ads are usually banners that you place in your content or sidebar. Each time a reader clicks on the ad, you are paid for that click.
•  
• CPM Ads: CPM Ads, or “cost per 1,000 impressions,” are ads that pay you a fixed amount of money based on how many people view your ad.

Perhaps the most popular network for placing these types of ads is Google AdSense. With this program, you do not need to be in direct contact with advertisers; you simply place the banner on your site, Google chooses ads relevant to your content, and your viewers click on the ads. There are countless similar programs available if you find that AdSense doesn’t work for you, such as Chitika, Infolinks, and Media.net.

Sell Private Ads

Working with advertising networks isn’t your only option when it comes to selling ads. If you end up with enough traffic, advertisers may come directly to you and ask you to place their ad on your site. You can also contact advertisers yourself. The biggest difference from the above mentioned option is that there is no middle man, which means you can set your own ad rates.

Selling private ads can come in the form of banners, buttons, or links. You can even make money writing sponsored posts where you write about or give a review of an advertiser’s product or service. Another option is to write an underwritten post or series, which is where you can write about any topic, but the advertiser pays for a “Brought to you by” mention in the content.

The ways you make money with this can vary. For instance, you might charge a one-time fee for a link within a post. If you are hosting banner ads, you might charge your partner monthly.
Bonus tip: To maximize your income, you can also choose to sell sponsorship space in your newsletters, podcasts, and videos.

Include Affiliate Links in Your Content

Affiliate marketing is also another great tool for monetizing your blog. Here is how affiliate marketing works:

1. An advertiser has a product she wants to sell. She agrees to give you a commission from each sale if the buyer is coming from your site.
2. She gives you a unique link that tracks your affiliate code. That way, she knows when a buyer used your link to make a purchase.
3. You include your affiliate link on your site. You can do this directly in the content or through banner ads. If a reader clicks on your unique link and buys the product you have recommended, you earn a percentage of what she purchased.

You can utilize affiliate marketing through ad networks like Amazon Associates, or you can create private partnerships with advertisers and businesses with an affiliate program.

Sell Digital Products

If you would rather not advertise other people’s products on your site, or if you are looking for another stream of income, consider selling digital products. This can include items like:

• eBooks
• Online courses/workshops
• Images, video, or music people can use in their own content
• Apps, plugins, or themes

Just remember that if you are going to choose one of these avenues that you make it relevant and useful to your readers. A lot of bloggers make the mistake of assuming they are developing a product their readers need; listen to your readers first, and then create a digital product that will meet their needs.

Use it as a Content Marketing Tool for Your Business

It is also possible to sell physical products on your blog and to make money that way. Instead of thinking of it as making money from your blog, however, think of your blog as a content marketing tool that will drive visitors to your business website.

The possibilities are practically endless when it comes to developing a business blog. You could sell hand-made products, books, manufactured products, and so much more. Or you might already have a business and decide to start a blog to convert loyal customers.

Lets say, for example, that you refurbish and resell used smartphones out of your home. You could use a blog to attract visitors to your website where you list your current phones for sale. Your blog might cover topics about DIY refurbishing. On one level, it seems counterintuitive because you want people to buy your phones, but it also helps you build a brand and gain recognition. Social media guru Jay Baer explains the concept on Copyblogger:

This concept can also be applied to services in all types of industries. For instance, if you offered electronic repair services as opposed to physical products, you could still use the same blogging concept to increase brand awareness and convert more clients.

Sell Memberships

Another option to make money is to sell memberships to exclusive corners of your website. For instance, a career blog might charge $10 per month for users to gain access to their job board. A startup business blog might sell memberships to their forums where people can get personalized advice about their business.
The key here is that your exclusive membership has to be more valuable than something your visitors can find for free somewhere else, so be sure you’re developing something of value and worth the price.

Use it to Build Your Credibility

Blogging to build credibility can lead to many money-making opportunities. For instance, let us say you start a blog in the finance industry. People start reading your content, and your blog becomes very popular. You are now a recognized figure in the finance industry.
Once you have that authority, people might approach you to co-author a book on debt management, or you could charge to speak at conferences or to run employee financial training days.
This certainly isn’t a direct form of making money blogging, but it has worked for many well-known bloggers, and it can work for you, too. If you’re looking for a direct revenue stream, popular blogs have sold for 4-7 figures (sometimes more) by selling their branding and content.

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that making money blogging is not possible by putting your site up and letting it sit there. The “if you build it, they will come” mentality doesn’t work here, so be sure you’re willing to put in the time. Most bloggers don’t see a spike of income for several months (sometimes years) after starting their blog. Before you dive too deep into blogging, remember these little bits of advice:

Create Quality Content
 You are not going to make any money from your blog if people don’t read it. After all, your readers are the ones who are going to make you money, whether they’re clicking on your ads or buying your products. Always put your readers first.

Don’t Spend Your Time Exclusively on Your Blog
Developing a successful blog has a lot to do with building relationships. That can include relationships with sponsors, affiliate partners, or simply other bloggers who will direct traffic to your blog. Be sure some of your time is spent on forums and other blogs (or whatever works for you) to build these relationships and your blog.

Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment
Not all of these tips and avenues of income are going to work for you. Don’t be afraid to tweak your methods to see what works best for you and your readers.

Making money blogging can take a lot of persistence, but it can pay off in the long-run if you’re starting out from scratch. Just remember that you don’t have to use all of these money-making avenues at once. Consider what other people in your industry are doing, and start from there.

Windows history: Windows 1 to Windows 10

Windows has a long story when it comes to software and OS. Founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Microsoft has become a computer software giant over the years. Microsoft got rave response from the market in its early years, ever since the products and services have started to replace the extensive human labor.
This article provides an overview of all Windows OS versions from Windows 1.0 to Windows 10.

 

 

Windows 1.0

Release date: November 20, 1985.
Windows 1.0 was the first GUI-based operating system ever released by Microsoft. Built on top of MS-DOS, it could only tile its windows without overlapping.

Windows 2.0

Release date: November 1987.
Without drawing too much attention, this version of the Windows OS allowed users to overlap windows among other things.

Windows 3.0

Release date: May 22, 1990.
It was the first version of Windows OS that got public’s attention. Also, it was the first version to include the popular game “Solitaire”.

Windows 3.1

Release date: March 18, 1992.
Quite similar features of its predecessor.

Windows NT 3.1

Release date: July 27, 1993
Windows NT 3.1 was the first version of the NT (new technology) OS family. It was a stand-alone OS, not MS-DOS based such as all previous versions.

Windows for Workgroups 3.11

Release date: August 11, 1993.

Windows NT 3.5

Release date: September 21, 1994.

Windows 95

Release date: August 24, 1995.
The Windows 95’s interface was redesigned and different from its predecessors. Microsoft introduced new Taskbar, the Start Menu, and Windows Explorer the way we know it today.

Windows NT 4.0

Release date: July 29, 1996.
Windows NT 4.0 was the NT version of Windows 95 with the all-new elements from Windows 95: the Taskbar, the Start Menu, etc.

Windows 98 & 98 SE

Release dates: June 25, 1998 and May 29, 1999.
Windows 98 was based on 95’s kernel, but it came with different graphic improvements and functionality. In May 1999, an improved version of Windows 98 was released, the Windows 98 SE (second edition) which fixed many issues with Windows 98, had improved USB support, and included newer versions of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.

Windows 2000

Release date: February 17, 2000.
Based on NT kernel, Windows 2000 incorporated many of the new features from Windows 98 and 98 SE into the NT line of Windows. It also included plug-and-play capabilities fro devices. There were several Windows 2000 editions for servers and one for regular computers.

Windows Millenium

Release date: September 24, 2000.
Was a hated version of Windows (even by Microsoft). Could have been called Windows 98 third edition since it didn’t have many improvements.

Windows XP

Release date: October 25, 2001.
A major release of the OS, similar to Windows 95. Windows XP came with a completely new screen and interface but preserved many of the features of Windows 2000. It was based on NT technology. It came in several editions: Home, Professional, Media Center, and Tablet PC Edition.

Windows Server 2003

Release date: April 24, 2003.
It was meant to be the server edition of Windows XP.

Windows Vista

Release date: January 30, 2007.
Five years after the release of Windows XP, Windows Vista was released. It featured a sidebar and great looking transparent windows, but it required a pretty fast computer with plenty of RAM and CPU available. Unfortunately, Vista got a bad reputation for not working well with programs and devices that had worked with Windows XP. This was soon fixed.

Windows Server 2008

Release date: February 27, 2008.
The server version of Windows Vista.

Windows 7

Release date: October 22, 2009.
Upon sayings of many computer professionals and general users, it was the best Windows OS ever. Way faster than Vista, it had many new features. Windows 7’s most notable feature was the redesigned taskbar. Other features included a windows “snap” option to easily maximize windows and put two side-by-side, better multitouch support; libraries for documents, pictures, videos, etc; and Homegroup which allowed for easy sharing of files and printers between computers on a home network.

Windows 8 and 8.1

Release date: October 26, 2012.
With Windows 8, just about everything previously familiar to Windows users has changed. Microsoft intended Windows 8 (and newer versions) to work not just on regular PCs but also on tablets. This is something they have been trying to do ever since Windows XP. Microsoft even made a tablet of their own and called it Surface.
Windows 8 interface was redesigned from ground-up. The familiar Start Menu was converted into a full-screen menu called the “Metro” interface. The way users do they regular tasks has changed completely.
With Windows 8.1, the Start Menu was reintroduced due to Metro negative feedback among professionals and general users.
All these changes will result in a steep learning curve for longtime Windows users, but it seems Microsoft has finally made a real tablet operating system that people will buy, and it may give iPad a run for its money.
