I apoligize for waiting so long between updates here. I’ve been working on other projects for a while now and this site unfortunately hasn’t been getting the attention it deserves. I know that saying I’ve been too busy making money with other web sites to even worry about this one sounds funny, but it is true.

One of my friends and business partners keeps suggesting that I package up one of the software products I’ve created to build sites for myself and sell it to other people. My response is always “I’d rather have all the sites myself and make all the money while other people wonder where I got the script that built that.. which is much better than trying to get a hundred dollars from a few people here and there and end up with clones of my sites everywhere.” I guess that is a fairly long-winded way of saying “I wanna keep it for myself!”

I’m still around, and last month I made more money than I ever have in my life. The scary but exciting thing about that is I’m barely scratching the surface of the amount of revenue the web sites I’ve already built could be making. A year from now I expect to be making even more money online.  I decided that I don’t really want to be the jerk insulting people or flashing his money around saying “neener neener!”  I’d rather be the millionaire that nobody knows about… unless they happen to see me out driving a car that most people can’t afford.

So, are you raking in online cash every month?

I’m always pretty slow to find new things and cool sites. I heard about Squidoo a long time ago but finally got around to playing with it today. It is pretty sweet. I setup this small page about making money online today and there’s a lot of potential there. If you need to setup some articles or write about things on a site outside of yours you should check it out. I have a feeling it will get exploited and become a lot less useful in the near future but for now get in there and snag the urls you want!

If you run a web site and have been considering running google adsense on your pages but don’t know where to start this post is for you!  Many people know what adsense is, and probably everyone that uses the internet with any kind of regularity has seen the Google ads cleverly planted inside the sites they visit.

What is AdSense?
Google Adsense is a contextual ad service that automatically puts ads related to your page’s content on your site.  You choose the ad style and colors and Google gives you a bit of javascript that you can paste into your HTML.  Google’s bot will visit your site, determine what it is about, and show an advertisement that is usually pretty relevant to the content of the page it is shown on.  This increases your ad clickthrough rate (CTR) dramatically over normal banner advertising. AdSense pays on a per click basis, the price of which varies wildly and is depedent on the topic of the site (how valuable those visitors are to the people purchasing the ads). 

What do I need to make money with adsense?
There are two main things required to make any decent kind of money running google adsense. The first is traffic.  Without visitors there’s nobody to click your ads.  This is obviously very important.  The second is good ad placement.  Even with bad ad placement some people will click them if you get enough traffic.  Good ad placement can make the difference between making a little bit of money or 3 to 4 times that much.  You have to make a good trade-off between ad revenue and annoying your visitors. 

How Do I get started running Google AdSense?
Click the big blue button below to get started right away.  Signing up doesn’t take very long, and you can soon be on your way to making hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars every month!

Welll another huge deposit from my favorite affiliate program hit my bank account the other day and this time I decided to do something “useful” with the money. Instead of buying car upgrades, prime rib, and electronics like usual I ended up paying off half my car loan. By the end of this year I’ll have no debt other than my mortgage. None of that would be possible if it wasn’t for the money I make online.

You’re probably wondering why I’m telling you this. I just wanted to let people know that I’m a real person. I’m not a phony persona hiding behind anonymity. I don’t claim to be a millionaire like many others do. This year has been pretty good to me, but I KNOW that next year is going to be even better. I’m going to blow the roof off my bank account making the money I made this year look like peanuts.

Once you get a good understanding of how to make money online and get the ball rolling you almost have to go out of your way to fail to make any money.

In fact I recently put my wife to work doing some things for me that I don’t have enough time for. She’s not a technical person by any means. I gave her a copy of my book and turned her loose on one of my sites. She’s going to be very shocked in a few months when the couple hours a day she’s been putting in generates more income than her previous full time job. The best part is that it is passive income. If she goes back to work we’ll continue to get paid for all the stuff she did while working from home.

If she’s going to be at home taking care of kids (what mother wouldn’t want to be?) it is nice to know there will always be work that pays well for her to do. She can generate more income for both of us while sitting on the couch with the laptop watching decorating shows, relaxing on the porch with our adorable dog Roxy, or wherever else the wifi can reach.

Sometimes I forget how fortunate we truely are.

The Wealthy Webmaster’s Guide to Make Money Online is now for sale! Get it while it is still at the 50% off introductory price. A lot of work has gone into building this product and finding the best bonuses out there to give my customers. You won’t be disappointed, I guarantee it! The best thing about this book (I feel) is that it gives you realistic expectations and doesn’t waste your time telling you to do things I wouldn’t be willing to do myself (like online surveys or selling stuff on ebay). Building web sites is about generating passive income. If what you’re doing isn’t meant to generate passive income you might want to ask yourself why you’re doing it.

Anyway, we’re all excited over here at W.W. headquarters. This product has been several months in the making which was well worth it, as I’m sure you would agree once you’ve checked out the book.
