How to Make $1,000 a Month on the Internet

1. .***Think Long Term***Making money online is a slow process. If you're in a rush, buy a lottery ticket and keep your fingers crossed. But if you manage to be patient, you can build up a substantial income.Best of all, a lot of your income will be 'passive income', meaning that even after you stop working, the money keeps rolling in. Sort of like being an author, actor, or musician, and collecting royalties or residuals for work you did long ago.Online income starts as a trickle...perhaps just a few cents, or a dollar, for a month's work. But it grows to a few dollars a month, then $50 a month, then $100, and with dedication (and again, patience), a thousand a month will be in sight.
2. .***Start at eHow***About half of my online income I get right here at eHow.If you can write decently, you can write a How-To article. And if you can write How-To articles, you should be doing it right here, and starting to earn money. eHow is the easiest and surest way I know to begin earning an online income.With practice, each article you write can earn about ten cents a day. Doesn't sound like much, but that's $3 a month for each article. Write 100 articles, and you've got $300 a month coming in. You're already well on your way to a thousand a month.The Resources section includes a lot more information on how to get started making money online with eHow.

3. .***Find The Right Content Opportunities That Work For You***It's possible to make money online by blogging, building a website, uploading photos, videos, or music, and numerous other options. These all entail providing 'content' -- materials that people want to see or use on the web -- and getting advertising (Adsense and affiliate) income from the content.For instance, I have numerous websites and blogs that I've created on my own, all of which bring in small income streams from advertising revenue and affiliate sales. My most successful is my Newspaper Archives site at XooxleAnswers.comThere are dozens of other content opportunities, described in the Resource article, Make Money on the Internet.
4. .***Get a Job***The rest of my online income comes from work that I do in a somewhat more traditional vein. I am an online researcher and consultant, handling a wide variety of research tasks for people who need business information, or personal research (like family history), or health and legal research, and so on. Some of this I do through a service called Uclue.comOnline research is not for everyone. But it's not the only online work option. Opportunities range from secretarial and administrative work, to programming, and even to mock jury duty (really!). Take a look at the Resources article, Making Money on the Internet, for more possibilities.

Under the 'Overview' tab, locate the section called 'AdSense for Content' and look to the right. The number to the right represents the information for your entire account.

3. Divide your earning by the page impressions and multiply that amount by a 1,000 to get your eCPM. If you have estimated earnings of $90 and 20,000 page impressions, the eCPM would amount to -- ($90 / 20,000) * 1,000 -- or $4.50.

Also, use keywords Internet surfers will likely type to find your website; these keywords may help determine the kinds of ads that will appear.

Purchase articles online that relate to your topics, or create the content materials yourself. Keep the text free of spelling errors and easy to read. If necessary, have an SEO copywriter review the articles for keyword phrases to attract more strategic traffic from search engines to make money with free content.

3. Incorporate advertising options that can gain residual income over time, such as contextual ads.

To get started, register for an account online and provide some details about your website.

1. Write about current topics. If you write an entertainment blog, you should write about all of the latest celebrity gossip. This will interest like-minded readers and draw them to your blog.
2. Use proper keyword density. In short, keyword density is nothing more than the number of times the 'key' word or phrase appears in a body of work. For example, the keyword of this step would be the word 'keyword.' As eHow writer Summer Banks explains, keywords should be in 'the first sentence of the first paragraph, the last sentence of the first paragraph, once per paragraph of the body, and in the last sentence of the last paragraph.' When you do this, your work will come up when people search for that particular word or phrase on websites such as Google or Yahoo. For more information, see the Resources section below.
