I've just got back into the whole working and blogging thing after taking a week off to celebrate my son's 4th birthday. I came back and checked the regular stats etc and found a nice suprise for myself. In my absense my adsense account has hit its first $100.
From reading a few usful pages it looks as though the amount will keep counting until the end of the month and then be processed next month, this means that I should receive a check around October time. This will provide a great increase in the total earnings I have made since starting this blog and has been a truely passive stream of income.
Roll on my next check.

Alternative Pay Per Click Programs
The advantage of the point per click program is that one you have it set up, you don't need to do anything. There is also the advantage that all the visitor has to do is click on one of these links and it will generate you a small amount of income. There is no need for the user to sign up or install anything, a simple click on the link and thats some cash for you or me. An important part of this method is web site traffic which, as you can tell, I'm still working on.
But the reason for this post is to tell you about Bidvertise:
Bidvertise is a pay per click program just like Google AdSense, you can sign up using the banner above as either an advertiser or a publisher. Advertisers pay for traffic and publisher (me or you) add the advertisers links on our site.
Now you might think, why use this when Adsense does the same thing and is more common, well - 1 simple answer "Money!". Today I had 1 click in my Google Adsense account and I earnt $0.18. So far in my Bidvertise campaign I have had 6 clicks and have amassed over $3.50, so you can see each click is earning me more than double the amount of the AdSense.
There are probably over 100 similar services that do similar things, hopefully I will get to try a few out and report back with the top 5. But thats for a later day. So click the link above and check out Bidvertise.
Anyone using anything different, or already signed up at Bidvertise?

Starting point
Right so my fist effort in making money is going to be using one of the longest running and most popular services - Google Adsense.
So set up an AdSense all you need to do is pop over to https://www.google.com/adsense/ and click on sign up.
Signing up is like filling in any other online form, you enter your details and click submit at the end. The one thing you do need is a web site. But don't worry, you can go with a free host or a blogspot or wordpress blog, all of which are free.
Once your account is set up, you go though a series of set up options where you can select the type of ads you want on your site, choices like text only, image only or mixed. Where you want them to appear, what size and also what colour they are.
You are then left with a piece of code (generated for you) that you need to add to your site. Once you've done that. That's pretty much it.
Its normal to take up to 10 minutes for the ads to show, once they do show its a case of getting traffic to your site. All done, keep checking your AdSense account for any profit.
There you go a whistle stop guide to Google AdSense, later in the blog I'll be explaining a little more in depth about AdSense and how to maximise it to its potential.
