| Many people wonder how on earth they could | | | | eye-opening way to monetize that I'm going to |
| earn money if they ran their own web site but | | | | repeat it:If a visitor just CLICKS on any of the |
| didn't actually *sell* anything. If you have no | | | | Google AdSense adverts on your web page - |
| products or services to sell then where does the | | | | GOOGLE PAYS YOU MONEY!!!That's right! The |
| money come from?Well the answer is that you | | | | visitor doesn't even need to BUY anything from |
| can make money in lots of ways when you run a | | | | the advertiser! All they need to do is click on one |
| web site - and **selling products and/or | | | | of the adverts on your web page and Google |
| services** is not only just one option but also one | | | | pays you!So Google's 'AdSense' program means |
| of the most labour-intensive options, at least if | | | | that you really CAN earn money *just by |
| the products are not electronic (i.e. if they are | | | | attracting visitors* to your web site.'MY web site?' |
| hard goods or services).The problem is that many | | | | I hear you quiver.Yes YOUR web site!Millions of |
| people stick to what they know - bricks 'n' | | | | web masters the world over create and run their |
| mortar - high street shops who sell products that | | | | own web sites. Even high school drop outs can do |
| you can hold and feel, or professionals (such as | | | | it - in fact many ARE doing it and are making a |
| accountants or lawyers) who sell their services.It's | | | | good living from it!Heck, even young teenagers |
| plain to see where the money comes from there: | | | | are doing it. A 14 year old Canadian girl started |
| from the products and services on offer!But does | | | | her own web site about her family's favorite |
| that mean that YOU have to have products or | | | | vacation spot (Anguilla) a couple of years ago. |
| services to sell if you want to make your own | | | | Two years on she now earns thousands of |
| money online?No!The Internet offers so many | | | | dollars, part of which come from Google's |
| more ways in which you can make money!------ | | | | AdSense program!And it's not expensive to run |
