Ideally I would have used the blog theme Blog Oh Blog V2.0 but decided I wanted the theme up and running quickly so used Clean Copy 2.
Blog Oh Blog and Advertising
The reason I wanted to use the BOB theme is because there is a space at the top for a banner. There aren't many themes that have this ability. Also I like the 2 right-hand sidebars which are ideal for more advertising.
I will at some point change to this theme but not for a while because I need to have a header designed and make some tweaks so that it works with various plugins.
Why I Choose Clean Copy 2
Sometimes things never get done because they are out of your comfort zone. I already have CC2 set up for various other blogs so installing it was very easy. Also the images that come with the PLR pack work well for the header graphic.
The time I have saved means I can get on with re-writing PLR, link exchanges etc.

An intro to making money from blogging
If you've done any online marketing or blogging at all you'll probably know about sites such as Sponsored Reviews, Pay Per Post and Blogsvertize. For those who don't what these sites do is connect advertisers with bloggers in order to promote their products or services.
As a blogger you can receive various amounts of money depending on what sort of Google Page Rank and alexa rankings you have. What you need to do is set up a blog, whether it be with self-hosted or on a free service like blogger or blogspot. Then start writing about the topic you have chosen a couple of times per week. Once your blog is one month old you can then sign up with blogsvertize who will probably start sending you jobs for about $5. Once the blog is 3 months old you can then sign up with the other services.
What a blogger needs to do is write about the company's website and give a review of it. Some companies look for honest opinions whilst others look for you to only write about the positives.
Anyway, I started DailyDosh.net just the other day and have been writing various articles about debt and set them up to autopost every 3 days. The site isn't currently indexed, has no PR and no traffic but in a month I hope to start earning some money writing reviews.
