Dave asked: The Internet is filled with so many opportunities to make money.
Starting a business online is far the easier than most off-line businesses, the reason being, you can start seeing results within days whereas with off-line business it can take months or even years before seeing results.
If you do your homework properly, an Internet business can be very cheap to start and maintain.
So why not try Google Adsense?
What is Google Adsense?
On many Websites and Blogs you will see small adverts on the sides of the pages as well as within the content of the page. Google often sponsors these types of ads. The ads are relevant to the content within the website and every time a person clicks on one of them, the owner of the website or blog is then paid a percentage by Google.
How does one get started with Google Adsense?
To start things off you need to open a Google Adsense Account at: www.adsense.com
Once inside your account you can design the preferred look of the Adsense Ads. Once you are satisfied with the Ad design you’ll be given a html code to insert into your site.
The ads will now appear on your site. At first they might not be related to your content at all but once Google’s spiders have crawled your sight, more relevant ads will appear.
You are now ready to make some money!
If you don’t have a website or blog, then start one. A blog is the easiest way to get started.
Two very popular Blogging platforms are Blogger.com and Wordpress.com and they are free!
What content should I have in my Blog?
· Write about your hobbies and interests, you can even write about you life.
· If you feel you’re not the world’s greatest author and don’t feel like writing, then get free content to put into your blog.
· A good source of free articles on just about any topic is www.Articlesbase.com.
· Once you’ve added the content to your blog, insert the html code from your Adsense Account to get your Google ads.
· The next step is to start getting visitors to your blog.
How do I get visitors to my blog?
· The more often you create new posts for your blog, the more traffic you will receive. 3 to 4 posts a week normally works well.
· Another good source of traffic is Blog Directories. There are hundreds of blog directories where you can submit your blog. The more directories you submit your blog too, the more visitors you’ll receive.
Other methods of creating traffic:
· Google Adwords. Very effective but can be very expensive depending on which topic your blog is on.
· Traffic exchange programs work well but are very time consuming, as you need to view other people’s websites or blogs first before you receive any visitors. The more websites you view the more traffic you receive. Another problem with traffic exchange programs is that Google may close your Google Adsense Account if you receive traffic in this manner.
· Buy traffic. You can get tons of traffic this way, but in many cases the visitors you receive are not really interested in your topic or theme and probably won’t click on your ads.
Just a word of warning, don’t click on your own ads as Google will know if you are doing this and without any warning will close your Adsense Account!
Good Luck and don’t give up.
