How to Become a Millionaire in One Year

1. Go online. You can make your money actively or passively like web design or Adsense. An active online business requires prospecting, sales and follow-up. Adsense is passive because your only requirement is to put the proper codes on your website.
2. Start a business. It doesn't matter what wealth book you consult, they all say that if you want to be a millionaire you have to own your own company. The easiest business to start is one that is online. This does not require a lot of upfront cash or loans such as a brick and morter business would. Most people start more than one business such as an online store, website design or a service. Another great idea is selling information. People pay for information and even if some of the information may be free, people don't want to have to search for it and will pay to have it all in one place.

3. Attend seminars on wealth creation. You would be surprised that some of those seminars actually come out with good advice such as buying foreclosures, tax liens and real estate. Seminars such as 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind,' 'Play to Win' and 'Breakthrough to Success' are great for budding millionaires. They all focus on how to make money, how you view money and skills you need to make money.
4. Ask people for it. If you want a cheap way of becoming a millionaire, then convince 500 people to give you $1,000. This was a suggestion by a millionaire friend who actually made his money in Internet marketing. He did say that a business was the only way to make money. Asking people also applies to asking for the sale. You have to become excellent at closing. If you don't call people to action, they will not take action.
5. Sell coaching or teleseminars. Believe it or not, people will pay for things that they believe have value. If you have a skill as a relationship or business expert, then you can create a coaching business that is all done by phone. One coach charges $520 for one 90-minute session of 'Using Facebook for your Business.' If you want her full services, it will run you around $12,000. With free telephone bridge lines, a computer and some good content, you could realistically make $1 million dollars in a year. In this case, pricing is key as is your target audience. Most Internet marketers target people with disposable income that are looking to improve some area of their life, start a business or productivity tools.

How to Place an Ad on a WordPress Blog

1. Download the 'Advertising Manager' plug-in at WordPress.org (see Resources). According to WordPress.org, this free plug-in automatically handles ad placement and coding for popular ad-share programs like Google's Adsense. Adsense, Chitika, Adpinion and other supported ad programs simply require free sign-up and the plug-in will do the rest. The ads will be placed on your page and you will earn a percentage of revenue generated from ad-clicks. Such automated advertising programs work well for many bloggers, but you can also manually place your own custom ads onto your blog if you happen to have a separate advertising agreement with an individual client.
2. Upload the advertisement image that you want to use for any additional custom advertising. When you upload the image, make a note of the image's URL address as listed in the WordPress blog management dashboard.

3. Add an HTML box on your blog and then click on the dialogue box to begin entering HTML code. Adding a new box is very simply; you just click on the 'Add HTML' button on your WordPress dashboard. This will add HTML code to your blog's sidebar, a perfect place to add advertisements without cluttering up your blog's posting area.
4. Type the following code in as the first line of HTML, as indicated by HTMLCodeTutorial.com as the code necessary to anchor a link:

5. Replace the text reading 'link.html' with the web address for the site that the advertisement is supposed to redirect user to. Make sure, however, that you leave the quotes around the new address inserted in place of 'link.html.'
6. Type the following code in as the next line of HTML:

7. Replace the text reading 'picture.jpg' with the URL address for the advertising image you recently uploaded. Again, make sure you leave quotes around the new text. This line of code is responsible for placing the picture on your blog, but it is also tethered to the link code from the line above it, making the image 'clickable.'
8. Type in the following code on the third line to end the code and finalize the advertisement link:

9. Save all changes in the WordPress dashboard and preview your blog. In addition to automated ad placement, you should also see your custom advertisement image. When clicked, the custom ad should take you to the desired page exactly as you inserted it during Step 5.

How to Make Money With a Personal Blog

1. Write blog posts about your subject that inform and entertain readers. Do not try to copy someone else's style. Writing in your own unique voice will help to differentiate your blog from others on the same subject. If you provide your readers with valuable information, they will be more likely to come back to your blog again.
2. Update your blog with new posts at regular intervals. You do not need to post several times a day, or even every day. However, you should post on a schedule so that people know when to expect new content on your blog.

3. Publicize your blog on social networks like Twitter and Facebook. Do not just update your social media feeds with links to you latest blog posts, as other people may view this as spamming. Instead, engage in conversation with people who are interested in your blog's subject.
4. Design the look of your blog to be reader friendly. Make sure that readers can easily navigate around your blog site and can read the text without strain. Look at blogs that you like to read for ideas about design.
5. Sign up for advertising on your blog. You have many options, including CPM (cost per thousand impressions), ppc (pay per click) and affiliate advertising. What works best for one blog might not be what works best for your blog. For example, a book review blog might do better with affiliate links than PPC ads. However, a blog on search engine optimization might do better with PPC ads. Experiment to discover what works best for you.
