How to Make Money With a Webpage

1. Get a free blog (Blogger is a great one), a free domain name with free web hosting (I used to use awardspace), buy a domain (godaddy, domainsite) with free hosting, or buy a domain and buy separate hosting. You can also make your home computer into your hosting server if you have the know-how and a static IP. (Check my other articles for more help with any of these things)
2. Once signed up, start posting content (If you have a blog this is easy). If you have a website, you will need to upload a page called index.html to the main folder. If you are not sure how to do this then read my post 'How to start a website.' Basically the page will need HTML programming, which is actually quite easy. If you do not want to learn HTML, you can get a simple template from online, and post using frontpage or NVU (free!).

3. Sign Up for adsense. This is a google ad system that allows you to 'monetize' your site. When someone clicks on an ad on your page, the advertiser pays you a few cents. In order to display ads on your webpage, you will have to add some code into your page. For those who do not want to touch that, most applications like NVU allow the user to add chunks of code in without looking at all the rest of the HTML. If you are using blogger, there is a gadget that allows you to sign up for adsense and add it to your site easily.
4. Now the most important part. Post articles that have meaning, but try to make them contain words with a theme. Adsense searches your post and makes ads based on that, and some genres are more competitive than others. If you write about dolls, you will make a few cents per click. If you write about lawyers, acne products, bankruptcy, or insurance you can make upto a few dollars per ad click!
5. Try to make the first few sentences of any post or blog filled with rich words (no pun intended). this is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and there are companies devoted to just this.
6. Sign your awesome site up at flog directory and website directory sites, and wait for thousands to flock in, read your stuff, and a few to click on your ads!
