Make Money Online?

There are lots of sites out there that offer to give you money for taking surveys and reading emails and other stuff like that. To tell you the truth, making money online is not as easy as simply taking a survey or reading an email, most of those survey sites are either total scams or make you jump through so many hoops to get your money that it is virtually impossible without losing you personal information or losing money. This article will show you how to make REAL money online while investing very little or no money. It is by no means "free" money because you will still have to put in significant time and effort to make decent profits.

How much can I make?

The money you make really depends on how much time and effort you put in. You could make anything from 1 to 7 figure yearly income. There is really no way I can tell you how much money you will make, but I will tell you one thing: I can guarantee that you will make a profit (unless you do something stupid).

So how do I start making money?

The idea I am proposing is one of many ways of making money online: blogging. Your probably wondering right now, "How on earth am I going to make money off of blogging?" The answer to your question is Google AdSense. The first thing to do is start a free blog on blogspot.com. If you don't already have an account sign up. Log in, then click, "Create a blog," and follow the instructions on the screen to create a new blog. Make sure that the title and URL are highly relevant to the subject you will be writing about on your blog. Be sure to choose a good subject for your blog, don't make it about yourself or you will not make very much money. Make it about something people will want to read about like, "How to make money online," or "How to start your own restaurant." Once you have created your blog, go to the Blogger Dashboard and next to your blog, click "Monetize." It now offers you the option of creating a free AdSense account. What Google AdSense does is puts advertisements on your blog and whenever a visitor clicks an ad money is sent to your AdSense account and when the money in your AdSense account reaches a certain amount a check is sent to you in the mail. Go ahead and sign up for a free AdSense Account and set your blog up to show ads. You can now view your blog and see that there are Google ads on your page (only Google service ads will show until Google finishes reviewing your AdSense application). Now one important note here DO NOT click the ads, you yourself clicking the ads is illegal and can get your AdSense account banned. You also may not put anything on your website asking visitors to click your ads. Now, time to start making content, but first go to the Google AdWords Keyword Tool and enter in a keyword that describes your blog and click "Get Keyword Ideas." This will give you a list of keywords related to the keyword you entered. It gives you statistics for advertiser competition, monthly search volume and other things. Pick a few keywords highly related to your blog with high monthly search volume and relatively low advertiser competition. The whole point of doing this is to get keywords that will help your blog show up higher in search engine results. If your blog shows up high in search engine results, more people find your blog, which means more people click on your ads, which means more money for you. If you neglect to try to increase your blog's ranking in the search engines, very few (if any) people will visit your blog meaning very little or no money for you.

Creating Content

Now it is time to start writing. If you hate writing or aren't very good at it, there is still a chance for you. If you have some money in your pocket go to getafreelancer.com and get some content written for you. Whether you are writing your own content or having it written for you, you want your posts to be rich in the keywords you selected above. Try to make your content as focused and informative as possible and use good grammar. Good writing will attract more readers. You will want to create a post every day or every other day in order to keep visitors coming back for more. Promoting your blog Perhaps the easiest way to promote your blog and drive more traffic to it is article writing. What you do is write an article (or get one written for you) and then submit it to several article directories including a link to your blog at the bottom of your article. People can then take your articles from the article directory and publish it on their own site for free, but they have to include the link back to your blog with your article. Not only will this increase your blog's traffic from people clicking on the link to your blog, but it will also greatly increase your search engine ranking because search engines often judge sites by how many links there are from other websites to your blog.
