You can start to realize an income by learning how to monetize a website or a blog and create a financial income for yourself.

God knows how many of us are actually looking for opportunities to make money, either as an extension of our personal hobbies or interests, or to simply supplement our incomes or really striking it out in internet marketing to carve out a career, however unsteady or unflaterring it may be. The internet may seemed to be the most likely place to try to strike it out for those who are jobless, or about to be retrenched, or just about anyone JOB (just over broke)....but it certaintly is NOT yet saturated, and opportunities to strike gold still exist.

The story of how a young college student striking it out creating websites and infusing them with google adsense, clickbank affliate representation, and...ebay (yes, it was ebay that made him over $500 A DAY with just one website)...provides encouragement, or instils hope. If a young 'un, who is untrained in the finer points of marketing online, but could turned up good profits within the week with his websites, it stands to be good reason that YOU too can make money likewise.

It is a matter of grabbing a simple website creation software, creating webpages infused with keywords of interest to the public..in fact, CREATING CONTENT THAT MATTERS ..and infusing them with google adsense.

Now blogs make it even easier. For example, blogger.com provides free blogs with fantastic website creation tools that anyone can just start off creating their own blogs or sites without too much of a learning curve. Templates are also provided, so you do not even need to worry about creating your own templates.

You cannot apply for a google adsense account without having your own site or a blog - so create your own blog first and then apply for a Google Adsense account.

When you have created your own site or a blog, the next thing is to drive traffic there. You can do this easily by passing around your website address or url. Create a "tag-line" with your site address, and make sure you sign off with that signature line everytime you send off an email to your friends. This will start to get you some traffic. Inform your friends of your new site and ask them to provide some helpful comments to improve the site. "Word-of-mouth" advertising in this way is very useful and will drive a steady flow of traffic to your website.

There are articles on many other websites or blogs which talk about the practical points of creating money from adwords, from affiliate products, from google adsense and other instruments....and you can learn for free from other blogs relating to internet marketing. Use these free resources to learn and improve the quality of your website.

Google Adsense is advertising by Pay Per Click, and it is not ending anytime. In fact just the opposite is happening. We see Microsoft, Yahoo and MSN are all now entering this game. It's time to READ THE TRENDS CORRECTLY and to start to get your piece of the pie. Those who do not pay heed will be left behind.

You shouldn't be the one, because you can just take action today. Create your own blog and join Google Adsense....and its' all free. The only regret you will get is that you didn't join any earlier.

There is one caveat though. Your income is directly dependent on the content of your website and the traffic you attract. So work hard on these two factors, and you will succeed.
