Once you have your blog and have published a few posts, you will probably want to start using it to make money. The first thing that you will need to do is set up an account with Google AdSense. I know I mention this in part one of the series, but now will look at it in a little bit more depth.

The Google AdSense program is in outstanding affiliate ad program. What does is allow you to run advertisements on your website or blog. This is how they do it; and advertiser signs up for a Google AdWords account and selects some key words to bid on. Google will then display those ads on web sites or pages that are appropriate for whatever keyword the advertiser was bidding on.

Here's where you come in. Not only does Google run the ads on its own web sites and search engine, it allows affiliates (people such as yourself) to display the these ads on their own web sites and share in the profit. So every time one of your visitors clicks on an ad Google adds the appropriate amount of money to your account. At the end of the month Google sends you a check. There it is a $100 minimum though. If you do not have $100 in your account your balance will roll over into the next month and this will continue until you have $100.

There are few things that make this program stand apart. I've tried many other affiliate programs with little or no success. In my experience the Google AdSense program works. It works because it serves the ads that people want to see. Google generates the ads based on keywords that pertain to whatever it is your website or blog is all about.

While it is possible to earn a lot of money this way, most people will just earn a few hundred bucks every month or two. It might not make you rich, but it may just cover a car payment or give you a few extra bucks in your pocket. All it really takes is spending half an hour or so two or three times a week on your blog.

Your profits will take time to build up. First google will have to approve your application. Then, you will have to build your content. Finally, you will need to publicize and market your blog or website to build readership.

I will be covering all of the things in depth in future installments of this blog. If you subscribe to this blog I was in you an email every time it is updated with new info. If you stick with me through this there's a really good chance you can earn some serious money in your spare time. I will walk you through the whole process step by step with pictures, tutorials, walkthroughs and advice.

If you start a blog, leave a comment or email me, I would love to see it!

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. This will take some time to get rolling. However, once it gets up to speed, your blog can make you money while you sleep. People from all over the world can visit your blog anytime day or night. When they do come, some of them are bound to click on one of your ads.

You can make anywhere from 3¢ to 10 bucks on a single click! It all depends on how popular the keywords that are contained in your blog or to advertisers. When a key word is really popular advertisers will bid quite high for it. Regardless of whether you're ads make a lot of money per click or just a modest amount, you will be surprised how fast they add up.

I can tell you this; it is really nice to see that google check, the mail with the usual pile of bills. Think about it… Isn't it about time you got started?

Heck with the bad economy! How to make a few extra bucks online. Part I

If the first thing that you need to realize is the fact that there is no free lunch. However, if you're willing to spend a little time and energy it is entirely possible to make a few hundred bucks every month from the comfort of your living room.

You do not need to be a computer programmer or some sort of genius. It is not really all that hard nor do you need any super specialized talents or knowledge. Your average everyday person can do this. All it takes is a little bit of know how and some passion. Outside of that, all you will need is time and perseverance.

Before we start you will need to think of something that you feel passionate about. Whether that is politics, the economy, business, family, a hobby, crafts, health, or anything that you like to talk about. Once you have a topic that you are passionate about, you don't even need to be an expert in it just something that you love… Then you are ready to begin your journey toward fame and fortune (OK maybe your journey toward active bloggers status and a car payment).

Since setting up a blog is so incredibly easy let's take a look at that first. All you need to do it is register for an account here on blogger.com or any other blogger website that you may find. It really couldn't be simpler. First click, the register link in the upper right hand corner, then follow the instructions and select a template then your good to go.

Once you have your blog setup it is time to make sure that you can start making money. I recommend writing a few simple blog entries just to get started. Once you feel comfortable and have posted a few entries it is time to serve ads.

Hands down, the absolute best way to start making money quickly is to sign up for Google AdSense. It is simple to use but extremely powerful. The way it works is relatively simple. Advertisers pay Google to run their ads. Then Google pays you to place the ads on your website. Due to Google's high standards and excellent monitoring it has been my experience that the ads are tasteful and not inappropriate.

Now you will need to visit www.google.com/adsense and sign up for an account. Once you have signed up for an account you will be able to start serving ads on your blog. It is easy to setup simply go to the admin panel on your blog (I'm using blogger.com as an example) and go to the layout and select the Google AdSense module in place it in the desired position.

Now if you keep it up and post to your blog frequently you will start receiving checks from Google in the mail every month (assuming you make at least $100 that month otherwise you will get a check after your balance adds up to $100).

As I said before you may not get rich doing this, but with perseverance and dedication you should start making some decent money.
