First steps with Google AdSense

June 23rd, 2005 at 3:44 pm

Probably you already noticed that I recently made my first steps in the game of making money online. I signed up with Google’s AdSense program which is perhaps the fastest and easiest way to generate revenue from a website.

If you would like to see examples of AdSense ads in action, look at the top of this website or at the end of each article (before navigation).

No matter what your website is about you probably wouldn’t mind if it made you some money. You don’t have your own product to sell?

Where to start learning

June 8th, 2005 at 1:20 pm

All beginnings are hard. If I wan’t to learn how to make money online I have to learn from the people already doing it. There are plenty of sites that offer tips, tricks and other information about the topic. Some are good, some are bad but the most of them are just scams.
