Anyway back to my quest to make a million. Once I started to learn about making money online my intention is to start earning a passive residual income. That can come from a few sources; they still need some work involved but not as much as full 9 hour days in a dirty workshop. So what was my first venture into this online world of money making?Google Adsense. For those who do not know what this is then let me explain a little about Google Adsense. When you sit reading a magazine you will find it full of adverts often related and sometimes not to the magazine itself. Take music magazines for instance, they have adverts for selling instruments, studio time, how to DVDs and books etc. Now the people placing those adverts pay the magazine for them to be put into print in the magazine in order to reach a targeted audience hoping to increase sales for their company. The magazine itself needs those adverts to increase their revenue and also help keep cost of magazine down so that more people will buy it. The magazine will then need to print the magazine, distribute the magazine nationally and sometimes globally so that people can buy it. Quite a costly affair.
Now with the internet, you may not be aware of this but if you have a website or a blog, you are considered a publisher. Your website or blog is like a virtual online magazine which has the potential to receive hundreds possibly thousands of visitors a week, depending if it is good. Those hundreds and thousands of people could earn you money… I am sure you have seen websites like these

These are Google ads on one of my websites, once I built the site I set up an Adsense account with Google who then places adverts onto the website. Anyone visiting this site who then decides to click on the advert sets a wheel in motion. He is taken to another website owned by the person who placed the advert with Google. That website owner who place the add pays Google when the ad is clicked, Google then share the money they receive and pay you the website owner where the ad was originally clicked on a share of the money. How great is that? The amount you make varies and depends on the amount the ad owner pays Google, I am not sure really how Google decide what amount to pay you. I think it is a percentage. I do know that recently I took a quick look and saw that I earned around 50 US cents for a click on one advert on one of my sites. Imagine hundreds of 50 cents a week. It will all add up. So lets say you have a popular website with hundreds of visitors a week, the website probably costs you as little as £40 a year to host. The adverts Google place on your ad is based on relevance so if you have a website on football, the adverts themselves will be football related. Increasing the chance of your visitors clicking on the ads if they are selling something they want making more money for you. Great! Please, please be warned, technology is great, things are so easily automated and traceable so please do not click on the adverts yourselves that are on any of your websites. It is fraudulent and against Googles rules and you will loose your Google account. Do you really want to loose a system to make good money over time for a few pence now???
So what do you do? Go to Google and open up a Google Adsense account, Google will scroll through your website with its little virtual spiders to check that your website is suitable then they will generate a snippet of HTML code which all you do is place into your websites HTML coding or if, like me, you use webbuilderpro5 which is a HTML generator software, just simply place it into a HTML code box and your are done! Now all you need now is to direct more people to your sites. And that can be done in many ways.
Until next time thanks for reading.
