Getting people to read your blog in hopes of then selling ad space or getting revenue from ad clips is the most common, but good luck.  Since there are millions of active bloggers wanting to accomplish the same thing the chances you will win are very very incredibly small.  \n\nThere is good money made if you can convince a company to let them start a blog about their products and for their customers and then you manage the conversation.  The company gets advertising and consumer in put - you get a check.

My recommendation would be to make a blog.\n\nYou can make money just by telling people your thoughts on various issues. You might want to consider setting up a Newsvine account, where you will earn 90% of the money from advertisers. Go to  http://www.newsvine.com to learn more about THAT service.\n\nThere are other blogging services that allow you to put up ads (using, for example, Google Ads or whatever Yahoo!'s equivalent service is), such as Blogger. Since this is a Google service anyway, they make it extremely easy to make money from blogging. Check it out:\nhttp://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=964\n\nOther suggestions for making money on the 'net:\n- Sell stuff on Google Base ( http://base.google.com/ )\n- Sell your stuff on EBay ( http://www.ebay.com )

Google Adsense - It works well and on a few of my sites I make $700 to $900 per month!\n\nMany sites use AdSense to monetize their content and some webmasters work hard to maximize their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways:\n1.They use a wide range of traffic generating techniques including but not limited to online advertising. \n2.They build valuable content on their sites; content which attracts AdSense ads and which pay out the most when they get clicked. \n3.They use copy on their websites that encourage clicks on Ads. Note that Google prohibits people from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. Phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements". \n\nTo get some ‘insider’ secrets on how to boost your AdSense & Yahoo earnings with a unique software Ad tracking program, visit:\nhttp://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com/adsense.htm\nhttp://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com/web-site_promotion_search-engine-placement-url-placement.htm\nhttp://legal-advice-library.info/blog\nhttp://www.las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-attorney-legal-injury-defense-directory.com\nhttp://www.medical-research-study-directory.info/san-diego-medical-research-study.htm\nhttp://www.web-site-award-winning.com/adsense-video-course.htm\nhttp://www.bail-bond-jail-directory.info\n\nhttp://www.san-diego-lawyer-attorney-personal-injury-dui-car-immigration.info\nhttp://www.las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-attorney-legal-injury-defense-directory.com\nhttp://legal-advice-library.info/blog\nhttp://www.san-francisco-oakland-bay-area-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com\n\nhttp://www.san-jose-ca-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com\n\nhttp://www.sacramento-ca-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com\n\nhttp://www.la-orange-county-lawyers-attorney-directory.com\nhttp://www.legal-advice-library.info/blog\nhttp://www.las-vegas-nevada-lawyer-attorney-legal-injury-defense-directory.com\nhttp://www.austin-texas-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com/austin-legal-services.htm\nhttp://www.san-antonio-texas-lawyers-attorneys-directory.com\nhttp://www.san-diego-lawyer-attorney-personal-injury-dui-car-immigration.info

It depends on what you can do.\n\nIf you can program yourself, you can create a user-driven website where it is the users who actually make the content. Think of something like MySpace.com and online dating sites such as Match.com, or forums such as WebmasterWorld.com. You don't have to spend on buying content or hiring writers because users are the ones making the content for you. Then you earn via advertising\n\nFrom the article "How to Generate Advertising Revenues for Your Web Site" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol28/adrevenues.htm , there are several ways you can earn money from advertising:\n\n1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services. \n\nBurst Media http://www.burstmedia.com\nFastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com\nAdvertising.com. http://www.advertising.com\nTribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com \n\n2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system. \n\nGoogle Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/\nYahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/ \nIntellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm \nQuigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm \nIndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com \nCommission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com/\n\n3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!" \n\nOr you can do a blog and monetize it via advertising.\n\nYou can supplement your income with affiliate programs. You sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined). Go to CJ.com, Clickbank.com or Linkshare.com

Hi C,\n\nI´ve tried alot of different ways to make money online over the past "painful" 2 years and theres alot of crap out there that just doesn´t work, it´s amazing how they can keep getting awy with it! Now after soooo many disappointments I´m using Data Entry Pro and it´s now making me money (finally!) online. \n\nAnyway, basically you sign up with them and then once your logged in you just fill in as many forms as you like in their members section and you get paid for each one. I get checks from them every 2 weeks each averaging around $250-$350. You could make more but I just use the site as an extra income stream aswell as my full time job so I only work on it for around an hour each night. \n\nYou do have to be prepared to spend a little money though if you want to do anything online like this but it´s already been worth it for me.\n\nHere`s the link you can get them at anyway -> www.protry.com \n\nHope this helps!\nGoodluck,\nDave

Hi, what I'm about to recommend is not really a job but one way to make money online. Give it a try as it requires no start up cost. \n\nYou can write niche content and make some money via Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network. Both are pay per click programs. Check out this case study https://www.google.com/adsense/askthebuilder It's about Askthebuilder.com earning nearly $30,000 a month with Google Adsense.\n\nCreate sites via free hosting. This way you need not invest any money. Just your valuable time to create websites. You may not get checks almost immediately but with the right methods and hard work, it's definitely a good source of passive income which will come sooner or later. \n\nIf you need more details on ways to work from home, there are some good information and articles from this site. http://earncash.50webs.com

Hi V,\n\nThis is a topic that I have studied in much detail over the past 3 years. There are ALOT of ways to make money online, however, the moment you log on to the internet you are bombarded by ALOT of different sites telling you how to make money and that you`ll be a millionaire overnight. It takes time to filter out the crap from the genuine income generating programs.\n\nI have researched literally thousands of the different offers I'm sure you see every day on the internet. You could spend a fortune trying all these different business opportunities out for yourself. I did and believe me 95% of them didn't work but now I'm making quite a bit using a number of different websites.\n\nOne of the ones I found worked best is Protry.com or DataEntryPros. \n\nBasically you sign up with them and then simply enter in lines of data they give you, send it back and they send you out a check! I get checks from them every 2 weeks each averaging around $200-$300. You could make more but I just use the site as an extra bit of cash aswell as my full time job (which I love!) so I only work on it for around an hour each night. \n\nYou do have to be prepare to spend a small amount of money but just do what I did..all of these sites offer a 30 day money back guarantee..use them for 30 days, make some cash then just cancel the \nsubscription...I know you won`t though! :o)\n\nHere`s the link you can get them at anyway -> www.protry.com \n\nHope this helps!\nGoodluck,\nMatthew

Other moms like you are asking the same question. Some have found the same answer I found...\n\nI  have a business I do from home using the Internet. You can see my site at http://www.writershelper.com/index.html.\n\nI have a service business and the Web site primarily advertises my business, although it earns money in its own right as well. Some of the links on my site earn me money when people click on them.\n\nMy next step will be to create two other sites that simply earn money without my having to provide a service. A site like that, an information site, is created by an infopreneur.\n\nAll of this is quite possible without knowing html or being a designer or having any other specialized technical knowledge.\n\nI have done what I've done with the tools I got from the Web site below. That site has several high quality free e-books (and a few others that you have to pay for).\n\nBest wishes as you pursue your goals.

Try blogging.\nBlogger.com has alot of information on how to make money from blogging.

Yes you can earn money online. But definitely not with any of the "sure systems".\n\nI personally own a few websites that are about hobbies of mine and they earn me a nice little income. Although not enough to live from it, but then I have a full time job and do not spend more than 5-10 hours per week on them. Maybe even less...\nAnd I didn't know anything about websites when I started them some years ago.\n\nYou can have a look at my "story" on my website\nhttp://www.strawberry-recipes.com/recipeforwebsites.html\nand maybe this will inspire you to start this venture for yourself.\n\nThe startup costs are minimal (below 300 USD for one year of hosting+domain+search enigne optimization+newsletter+ + + )\n\nRead this page and download the free booklet to find out if this could be for you or not:\n\nhttp://wahm.bestsmallbusinesshelp.com\n\n\nTo bridge the time until her webbusiness earns her enough money, she could invest the money from her house into bonds and take out a bit every month.

The most lucrative way? Launch a website. You don't even really need any technical skill. Just an interesting topic, a bit of writing ability, and a blog. Though having your own site and some decent web page editing software (and of course, some regularly-changing content that people want to read and re-visit) will give you more flexibility.\n\nThe following specific options assume you've got a website in place...\n\n1) Google AdSense. Note that you've got to have a functional webiste OR a Blogger account (which is owned by Google) to get approved for AdSense. How to actually earn SIGNIFICANT money is outside the scope of a simple Yahoo answer here, but just know that there are sites earning thousands PER DAY with AdSense.\n\n2) ClickBank. There are plenty of affiliate programs out there, but eBooks offer the highest commissions (because of the low overhead). Typically 50% to 80%. I regularly get checks in the mail (every two weeks) averaging a few hundred a month. And that's without doing heavy promotion!\n\nClickbank and AdSense also work well together. For example I have my site set so that when AdSense cannot figure out what ads to display based on the keywords on a page, my Clickbank banners display instead.\n\n3) An affiliate clearing house. Instead of signing up for a bunch of different affiliate programs and then having to check and tweak your performance in all of them, use a large affiliate clearing house and get unified reports. I like Commission Junction (some of my favorite vendors are there).

You could use traffic generators, such as BlogExplosion. With this service, you click and look at other people's blogs, and you get credits for doing this, which will then send people to your blog. Its lots of fun, and you get to see other people's blogs, which will give you ideas, and entertain you.\n\nAlso, when you are looking at other people's blogs, make sure to notice what buttons they have on their blog - perhaps they are registered with a blog directory that is new to you - click on the link and submit your blog to as many directories as you can.

I work on-line. My Web site is http://www.writershelper.com. That site sells a service. My next step will be to build two more sites that make passive income, meaning all I'll have to do is put up the site, not offer a service. There are several good ways to make money with sites that offer information people want.  Everyone knows something.\n\nCheck out the site below. Take advantage of the free download e-books. They give you a ton of information.

You might be amazed at what websites are making money on the web.\n\nMany blogging sites such as:\nhttp://tech.crimsonlight.com\nand another example:\nhttp://moremerchant.com\n\nThese are blogging sites and can make the owners a lot of money.  This is the fastest area of growth on the net with thousands of new blogs each day.\n\nThe ones that offer consistency and great stories or posts are sure to bring a following and then this can translate to a great income.\n\nDo you see the ads on the above sites?  Those ads pay money when and if clicked on by visitors.  Yahoo makes some money and the blogger makes money.  Along with that, the visitor gets relevant ads and thus what they are looking for.\n\nThere are also other ways to make money, but there are many bloggers making over $100,000 a year now.\n\nIt is easy to start a blog and most likely will not cost you a think.  \n\nHave fun and Good luck!
