Here's How:

1. Read the Google AdSense program policies.

Familiarize yourself with what you can & can’t do as part of the Google AdSense program to ensure you're prepared to start your new account.

2. Visit the Google AdSense home page.

Click on the 'Sign Up Now' button in the upper righthand corner of your screen.

3. Complete the online application.

You will need to provide your blog's URL & primary language as well as answer some questions related to the rules of the Google AdSense program. You'll also need to provide your payment information to receive the money you generate on your blog from Google.

4. Access your new account & review the ads available to you.

Google AdSense provides a wide variety of advertising options to bloggers from text ads to image ads & more. Take some time to research everything that's available to determine what will work best for your blog.

5. Select your ad design choices.

Once you've decided which ad opportunities are best for your blog, select them. Google will provide a snippet of HTML code to you after you make your selection.

6. Insert your Google AdSense HTML code into your blog.

Copy and paste the HTML code provided by Google into your blog's template. One of the easiest ways for a beginner blogger to do this is by inserting a text widget into his or her blog's template & pasting the code in the widget.

7. Let Google do the rest.

It may take a few hours or a few days for Google to start serving ads on your blog. Google will search your blog to determine the predominant subjects of each page. When readers visit your blog, the HTML code you pasted into your blog from Google will activate & relevant ads will be displayed based on each page's content.

8. Collect your money.

Remember, Google AdSense typically pays based on click-throughs (the number of times people click on an ad). Therefore, Google AdSense is unlikely to generate a large income for you, but every bit helps!

Tips:

1. Read & adhere to the Google AdSense policies in full before you sign up for a Google AdSense account. If you violate any of the policies, your account will be cancelled.
2. Take some time to perfect your Google AdSense program once you get started by learning the steps you need to take to increase your Google AdSense earning potential.

What You Need:

• Your blog's active URL.

You can easily set up a donation button through PayPal. Just sign up for a PayPal account & follow the simple instructions on the PayPal Donations web pages to obtain the code that will link to your PayPal account. Next, you'll simply copy & paste the code into your blog (most people do this in an easy way by putting it on the blog's sidebar so it appears on as many pages as possible).

Once the code is inserted in your blog, the donation button will appear automatically. When a reader clicks on the donation button on your blog, they'll be taken to your personal PayPal donation page. Whatever money they donate, will be deposited directly into the bank account you chose during your set up process through PayPal.

1. Advertising

Including advertisements on your blog is the most obvious way to derive an income from your blogging efforts. Ads can come in the form of text links/banner ads & advertising options are available that you can easily tap into through pay-per-click, pay-per-post & affiliate programs online. Google AdSense, Amazon Associates, eBay Affiliates & Pay-Per-Post are just a few of the most common advertising programs available to bloggers.

2. Merchandise

Another simple way to monetize your blog is by selling merchandise through a service such as CafePress who will work with you to create custom items for you to sell through your blog.

3. Reviews

Bloggers can make money by reviewing products, events, businesses & more through blog posts.

4. Ebooks

A great way to bring in some revenue on your blog is by writing an ebook & offering it for sale through your blog. Ebooks are particularly successful for bloggers who have positioned themselves as experts in their fields & advertise their ebooks as additional/exclusive information just for readers of their blogs.

5. Donations

Many bloggers add a donation button to their blogs asking readers to make a monetary donation to keep the blog alive. Donations are also solicited with clever taglines such as, "If you like this blog, why not buy me a cup of coffee?" The donation link leads the reader to another website such as PayPal where the individual can easily make their donation.
