Don't type well? Here's how to have a blog anyway.

but you don't type well. First off, every computer comes with a word processing program. You can type, spell check, and in some cases, even grammatically check your entries. Most blog sites have their own spellchecker. Here on HubPages, it's the little check sign with the ABC above it.

You don't have to type quickly. You can take your time, save without publishing until you get it right, then publish. You can even go to the Help from Fellow Hubbers forum and ask for someone to check it out and suggest improvements for you.

USING FREE ARTICLES

If you don't want to type at all, there are free articles all over the web that you can use. Just Google "free articles" and you'll find plenty. Choose a subject, and the articles are there for you to cut and paste into your Hub. True, you might not get the greatest hub scores with those articles, but you can get some traffic and possibly some hits on your affiliate ads if you put the URL's out there.

So in order to be a "blogger", you don't have to know how to type at all. You just have to know how to cut and paste.

Of course, if you want original content, which everyone agrees is best, then you should use the articles you find as research material, and compose your own article from the information in them. You can also use sites like Wikipedia to research information for your articles. Again, a lot of it will be cut and paste, with linkbacks to the source.

Just be careful, though, because unless it is designated as an article you can use in full for free, then copyright laws only allow you to copy and paste a small part of it, and link back to the original source.

On some sites online, like Digital Point Forums, you can post ads to pay people to post on your forum for you. You can either pay by the word, or you can pay a set amount for a certain length post. I saw that most beginning blog writers are paid about $15 for between 300 and 500 words. Now if someone is very knowledgeable about the subject of your blog, and you are using that blog gets a lot of traffic and has good income, but you just are too busy to post anymore, this could be a good alternative.

In fact, it seems to be a trend to get a blog established and then pay someone to keep it going.

Some of these paid bloggers actually sell article packs on certain subjects, and sell them over and over again. I suppose they would have to be monetized with affiliate advertising, because Google wouldn't exactly give you a good ranking with that much duplicate copy. But it's done, and it must be profitable, because people are willing to buy them.

This way, you would instantly have a certain number of posts to post on different days, so that you could make it seem that you were posting regularly.

Just be legal, be fair, and write about what you know, and you too can be a blogger!
