Which Making Money Online Business Opportunity Is Best?

If you are looking for a way to make a few extra bucks online or perhaps even eventually quit your job and work full time online then you've probably come across a number of websites all claiming that they'll make you a millionaire overnight.   But are any of these online business opportunities for real?

Perhaps they suggest filling in survey's or maybe you've come across a website that promises that you'll have all the 'secrets' for a small one time price of just $197.  Yes I've seen them too.  But you know what - most of them are not worth your time because you can make a very good income online for free.  Yes you heard right - for free. 

You see today there are hundreds of places online where you are allowed to publish your own website or blog and earn an income and it won't cost you anything for domain names or hosting because they will host it for you.

Some of the more popular places where you can create a blog is Blogger.com or Wordpress.com (although Wordpress is quite strict about blogs which only have one purpose to make money).

You can even create mini one page sites at  places like HubPages.com or Squidoo.com and in return you'll get a share of the revenue that they earn.  That way the more hubpages or squidoo lenses that you create, the more money you'll make.

Ok, so you've got a free website, now what?

There are quite a few ways of making money online but probably the most popular method is having advertising on your site such as Google's ads that you see on this page.  They earn revenue for the website owner from anything from a few cents per click to a few dollars per click. 

You need to be approved by the Google Adsense program first to be allowed to place ads on your site and they have strict rules about what you can and can't do as well but it can be an easy way to make money online because you don't have to worry about finding advertisers yourself.  You just place a piece of code on your website and you are good to go.

To get approved by the Google Adsense program you'll need to have a website to show them already.  I suggest starting a blog and adding at least 5 or so posts of good quality information on it about a particular topic.  Don't write about your what your cat ate that morning, but something useful for people. 

Then apply.  Sometimes they will allow you to join immediately, other times they will make you wait 6 months to prove that you are legimate.  But once you are approved you can put those ads on as many of your websites as you like.
