In this article I will explain to you on how you can make money online, just like me, without selling something on the internet. I will cover everything from scratch so will not have to worry missing some important aspect.

It is important to read the following steps, in order, so that you will not be confuse about the terms I am using here.

1. Build a Website

• DIY – Do It Yourself
• Site Build It
• Create Contents

2. Google Adsense

• Insert Adsense Code
• Adsense Location

1. Build a Website

After deciding if you really wanted to make money online the first thing you do is to build a website. I have two suggestions that you need to follow. If you are a programmer or have know-how about website then you can go for DIY. If you are a totally beginner in the World Wide Web then go for Site Build It.

DIY Method

If you select this method be aware that there are so many Web Hosting companies that vary in terms of services they offer. I will not discuss the pros and cons of every web hosting company to shorten this tutorial.

Based on my years of experience I highly recommend Hostgator. At the time of this writing I am hosting with this company and they really have a great service. Hostgator is my 3rd web hosting company that I like most.

So, all you have to do now is to sign up for an account at Hostgator. There are 3 choices which you can select. I recommend the baby plan. It is the 2nd highest plan and the price is worth enough to handle a lot of traffic and it supports multiple domain which is very important if you want to expand your business.

Site Build It

If you are totally beginner to the World Wide Web don’t worry because Site Build It will teach you everything from scratch. The advantage of Site Build It is on how to optimize your site to make it known to the World Wide Web without studying a topic about search engine optimization.

To learn more about Site Build It follow this simple step.

Create Contents

If you choose Site Build It then skip this process. Site Build It has everything you need to do.

In Hostgator Control Panel there is an option to build your own content without knowing HTML or PHP or any scripting language. In this case we will use Content Management System (CMS) to build our website.

What CMS to choose?

If you are not familiar with different CMS and you’d like to start blogging then I recommend Wordpress. If you intend to create a very sophisticated website with lot of features then go for Drupal. I do not recommend Joomla although it was very popular (before).

Google Adsense

If you choose Site Build It then skip this process. Site Build It has everything you need to do.

How to sign up

First submit an application and wait until you are approved. Sometimes it takes a week and sometimes it takes an hour. I even noticed that after I teach my friend he is automatically approved because he uses blogger.com as his website.

Before you sign up for Google Adsense account be sure to read first the Program Policy.

Insert Adsense Code

In my case I use adman plug-in for Wordpress. If you are using Drupal then you can go for adsense module. This plug-in or module will allow you to insert adsense code without doing anything in every content on your website.

Adsense Location

Why we need to study the appearance of our adsense? In my experience this is very important to maximize the profit. In my website at www.sourcecodester.com I usually put it at the top of my content and it is really working.

And best of all do not put more than 1 adsense unit in your content. I will explain this in my next article including some topic which you do not know at this time so that you will learn everything in optimizing an adsense.
