In the world of making money online everyone seems to gravitate twords fast and easy methods of making money online. The plain and simple truth of it all is there’s no such thing. Making money online is hard work and takes endless hours of dedication. And most people just don’t have it.

One look at the Digital Point forum in the Adsense section can show you how much people are chasing the easy money. Well, they think it’s easy.

One of the most simple way to attempt to make money online is with Google Adsense. To set up Google Adsense on your website you simply copy some simple line of code given to you on the Adsense website and paste the line of code on your website. then you just wait for the visitors to your website to click on the text ads. The problem most people find out is that not many people like to click the ads, and when they do, it does not pay what they though they would be getting paid.

So you want to join the race to riches and make money with Adsense? Lets look at the traffic you need to make money with Adsense.

To make just $10 per day with a 5% click through rate and getting paid .05 cents per click you are going to need 200 clicks, which means you’re going to need tons of traffic. That 5% is being generous. Most don’t get that high and the reality is that most websites only get about a 1% CTR and most clicks only pay between .01 cent and .03 cents. So, if you’re only getting paid .01 cent per click, you’re going to need 1,000 clicks to make $10, which means you will need 200,000 visits per day.

Does your website get this type of traffic?

We see the question over and over. “How do I make money online?”. The answer is simple, quit asking how to make money online and start doing it. “But what should I do to make money online?”. The answer to that is simple too. You should do whatever you know.

Here’s things anyone can to get started in making money online.

#1. Start a blog. No, blogs by themselves won’t make money, you’re going to need traffic and then monetize that traffic. But if you blog about a subject you know about or that interests you. Starting a blog is fun and easy thanks to Wordpress. They can be set up and you can start blogging within minutes. There’s plenty of website that can show you how to get started and set it up.

#2. Sell products on Ebay. No, contrary to popular belief, making money on Ebay is not ancient history. Sure if you think you’re going to make a fortune selling pocket bikes you’re going to not be happy. But if you can find something unique you make or can sell you there’s still plenty of opportunity. I started selling my line of tshirts on there and sold tons of them. You just need to come up with your own idea.

#3. Sell memberships to your website. Setting up a membership website is painless and easy. If you don’t know how to do so, you can hire help from elance.com or ask for help in many of the webmaster forums. Thing about it. If your annual membership is $50 and you have 1,000 subscribers, that’s an extra $50K in you pocket each year. No bad considering you can do it all form home or from anywhere in the world.

#4. Start an e-store. Have a product you would like to sell? Skip Ebay and start an e-store. That brings you outside the confines and rules of Ebay and allows you to reach your customers using other methods such as Google Adwords advertising. Manny people have made fortunes going this route. The people that own www.myweddingfavors.com is a prime example. That website now does $80K+ in sales on a monthly basis.

#5. Sell your service. Have a special skill or talent you can sell? Good at coding, building websites, graphic design, freelance writing, head hunting? These are all simple example of services you can offer on the internet. Turn your talent into dollars.

#6. Sell information. Take you ideas and information and sell it in a “how-to” form via book or video. The “how to” book industry is a multi million dollar a year business and does not take anything special your get your empire launched!

There you have it! Get you’re empire started today and make your fortune online!

While I don’t get rich off my blog and most people don’t, that should not prevent you from trying. In fact there’s very few people that do make money on their blogs, and thousand more that attempt and fail.

You have Problogger who does well, Tyler Cruz, John Chow (idiot), Shoemoney (a-hole), and some others.

But if you put a lot of effort and time into your blog, you can’t made some pretty good money. You should be able to make enough money to pay most of your bills as long as you don’t live too lavishly. It should not be too hard to make $1,500 or so a month.

First you need to find a platform to build you blog on. Wordpress seems to be the best platform. Don’t buy some junky blogger blog. It’s a waste of time and you don’t have any real control over it. What if Blogger goes out of business or sells. You could wake up and you whole blog would be gone and you would not be making any money.

Second you’re going to need a domain name. It needs to be simple, short and easy to remember. WealthStore.com is just that. Keep it simple and east to remember. Also buy a dot com extensions only. Do not buy any of the dot net or other garbage.

Start posting. Do not buy advertising or any of that other junk. Just post. the most you post, the more traffic you will get. Post about whatever you want whether it applies to your topic or not. If you want to make money you have to have traffic. The way to build traffic is to post. Once you start getting some regular traffic, you can make money on the traffic. You need to have about 100 uniqure visitors per day. It should not be too hard with a little work.
