Blog Today.com

We have lots of new bloggers starting everyday and to help them out Michael Nolan of Frugal Living was kind enough to create these two video tutorials on getting starting blogging here at Today.com.

We’ve recently changed the My Account page around a little so it won’t look exactly like it does in the above video but there are still plenty of good tips in this video.

A step-by-step how-to guide to writing your first Today.com blog post.

As always, remember if you have questions or need help stop by the forum.

If you pay attention to the forums you’ll already know about the Content Writing program we’ve been testing for the last few weeks.

But if you haven’t had time for the forums let me tell you about this great new program that gives you unlimited extra earning potential! Almost everyday we have content buyers looking for freshly written articles. The article topics vary from day to day. Most don’t require any special knowledge, just the ability to research and write decent short articles.

If you are interested in freelance writing outside of blogging you need to check out this new program!

Click on the ** Today’s Content Calls ** link in your “My Account” page. Currently, you must be a VIP blogger in good standing to have access to this link. We will be opening it up to writers at large in the near future.

This is a new program and we are adding features and testing it everyday. We appreciate your feedback, questions, and comments in the forum that was set up just for this topic. Instructions and help getting started can be found there too.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Dave

The highly anticipated results are finally in. We especially liked the videos that fit into the theme of the blogs they were posted on. We hope that everyone will continue having fun making videos and putting them on their blogs. Since newly uploaded videos are featured on the front page of Today.com it’s a great way to drive extra traffic to your blogs.

Congratulations from the entire Today.com team to the winners!
