Help needed badly

[Ale]

okay... so, this is my second attempt at posting this as the first time, i was only under the impression of being logged on - i actually wasn't.

any ways. i made it to this forum with Angela's help (Yaro's assistant).

i have two blogs. one is on the NING forum that i have created and the other is on wordpress.

i basicaly type what i want to write in word and then copy and paste it to my blog. over the recent 2 weeks i found out that there is more to interent than gmail, skype and facebook
i can laugh at myself.

i am currently living in peru and what i do and write about has nothing to do with the conventional fashion, real estate, sports, cars, business or such things of the world...

- i write about psychotropic plants (Ayahuasca mostly) and spirituality - mostly my personal journey with the plants.
i have 10 years experience in nursing, 8 years in yoga (4 of them as a teacher) and various other things. my friends have been encouraging me to write a book, but that seems like a lot at the moment, but i guess that my blogging can make me some profit before hand and support my journeys while i am in Peru. that would be amazing.

i am so overwhelmed with the load of information here on this forum its crazy.
when i read some people saying they are beginners following with what their plans and experiences are that makes me very anxious, as i dont know what 'tags' or 'rss' are.

i love to write and i love what i do, i love helping people particularly women and most of my past experience has to do with counseling women.

anyways... i also have read on wordpress that you cant have such things as adsense and that they will terminate the blog.
i would like to increase traffic to my blog and be able to make some money with it but i have no idea where to start.

if there is a kind soul who would be willing to point me in a right direction that would be so appreciated.

thank you thank you
bless
Ale

Yaro and Gideon's free videos (become a blogger.com) are an excellent place to start! They walk you through all start up aspects as well as explain in clear language what RSS is and why you should have it, etc.

Additionally, problogger.net is another resource that is overflowing with helpful information and forums to ask questions.

Both give quality, clear suggestions and help.
