Welcome
In this guide, I will tell you an easy way to make money online. You may have read a lot of other guides or articles about this subject, but this is as simple as you can get it.
Reasons why you want to use this method:
- It's simple and easy
- Doesn't take a lot of work
- Doesn't cost anything to start
- It’s easy to watch your earnings
This method is the same method I use when I make websites like this one. Read through the whole guide once or twice before you start using this method. This guide is divided into 6 steps, and now I'll just start right on it.
Step one
You are going to figure out a subject for your website, and something to write about. This is called content, and it’s what your website contains. It would be smart to write about something that you are interested in, or something other people might be interested in. Take this website as an example. People learn how to make a website like this, and how to make money from it. And there are a lot of people who wants to make some extra money.
Subjects you can write about:
Finance
Technologi - Computers, cell phones, programming (A lot of subjects in this catagory)
Health - diets, exercise, weight-lifting, body-building, fitness etc.
Politics
Sports
Movies and TV
Humour - Should work if you're funny
Books
The content on your website can be written in whatever language you prefer, but remember that if your content is in English, more people can read and understand it, which means more visitors. More visitors equal more money.
Step two
You are going to make a website, and publish it on the web. There are a lot of different ways to do this. One way is to learn HTML-programming (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) - which I have done. A perfect way to learn web-programming like HTML is to visit www.w3schools.com. There you can find many types of web-programming. HTML is basic, and probably the first thing you should learn. It's easy to understand, and it either works or it doesn’t show in the results. No error-messages.
Step three
When you have learned basic HTML-programming and are ready to upload the website to the World Wide Web, you need somewhere to upload it, and a domain. I recommend 110mb which I use, and I’m really trilled about it. It’s totally free, and you get 5 GB online space for your website. It’s easy to upload and to have control over your files, and you can easily edit your layout in the website editor which you’ll get access to when you sign up and register at 110mb
Step four
When you have uploaded your website, you want to start making money from it. To make money the way I do it, we need to make an Google account. If you go to Google Advertising Programs you'll see that there is Google AdWords, and there is Google AdSense. I use Google AdSense. So to get an account, you need to click on the Google AdSense link and "Sign up now >>". Make sure that your address is correct when you register, if you later want to get a check from Google in your mailbox.
Now get “AdSense for content” and then you’ll need to link to your website so Google can approve it and make sure that you follow their ToS. This will probably take a couple of days, so just be patient.
Step five
When you now have had your website approved by Google, you have gotten a code which you will insert in the HTML-code, and the result will be an ad on your site. Make sure that you’re following Google’s ToS, so you don’t get your AdSense-account banned. If that happens, you can’t make any money by using this method.
What you now need to do is to place the ads on the right places for the best CTR (Click-Through Rate). You want your ads to blend in with the rest of your website. You don't want too much going on at your website which will steal attention from your ads. If you place the ads at the bottom of your site, people won’t notice them. But if you put them almost at the top, under the title, then people can't avoid noticing it. If you then have a lot of visitors too, a lot of people will click on your ads, and you'll get money.
Every time someone is clicking on your ads, you get paid by Google. It's as simple as that. You can always log into your Google-account and see how popular your website is, and how much money you have earned.
Step six
Now you need TRAFFIC! If you don't have any traffic on your website, you won’t get money, and there is no point in having your site on the web.
You can spam a link to your website around the web, but then people will hate you, and I do not recommend that. Instead, you can talk to other people who have websites and ask them to put a link on their website to yours, if you put a link to theirs on your website.
