If you’d like to make some money online, but you’re not sure where to start, I’ve found a system that just might be what you’re looking for.  It’s easy to install, it works just like advertised, and it can start making you money within a few weeks - maybe even in a few days.  It’s also fun to work with because you can use it to build as many sites as you want for any niche you might want to target.

I bought the system myself a few months back after reading a testimonial by a top online affiliate guru.  I know she’s made millions as an online affiliate, so when I read her testimonial of the product, I became interested in checking it out.  After buying it, I found it to be a bit clunky and difficult to install.  But I was able to get help in their forum to get my first site running that first day.  But that was an older version.  The new version is excellent.

They provide free upgrades to new versions, and I picked up the latest version a few weeks ago.  It’s slick because installation is quick and painless and the interface is very nice.  You can build a complete website using WYSIWYG tools and you can quickly and easily add SEO-friendly affiliate product links for any niche you choose.  You can also easily add AdSense code to the content pages for some additional revenue.

I feel good about telling you about this one because I’ve tested it myself, and I know it really works as advertised.  In fact, I’m so confident in the system, I’ll make you an even better offer.  If you buy the niche store system using my link and click here to send me a copy of your receipt, I’ll send you a detailed blueprint for finding a good market and getting your new site ranked in the search engines.  Plus, I’ll provide you with a link to a video where I’ll show you step-by-step how to install and manage your new store.  I’ll even show you how to customize it to make it uniquely yours.  There are so many other people using this system that you’ll definitely want to make your site unique. 

If you’re interested in checking out the system for yourself, you can find the details at:

You can check out one of my quick example sites at http://www.learntoplayguitarnow.com.  I built that site and had it online in under 30 minutes.  I have many other examples that I can share with you if you’re interested.   And I’ll say again that this is the first system I’ve used that was this simple to set up and that actually started bringing in money within the first couple of weeks.

Google has just launched their AdSense for Mobile system to allow publishers to display ads within their mobile web applications.  And the apps must be true “mobile” applications.  This means they must be written specifically to target handheld devices, such as phones and PDAs.  So, if you want to take advantage of this new revenue source, you’ll probably need to do some work on your site to make sure it plays well with those devices.

There are numerous articles out there describing the process of making your website mobile.  I found an article on Microsoft’s Small Business Center website titled, “5 Tips for Making Your Website Wireless Friendly.” There are also a number of blogs that discuss ways to make your site work well on mobile devices.  One of the best posts I found was on the Mike Industries blog.  The post was titled, “Make Your Site Mobile-Friendly in Two Minutes.”

Before getting too deep into converting your site, you’ll want to be sure to read Google’s mobile ads policy.  This will help to clarify just what type of site Google is expecting, and it will also give you the limitations placed on use of their mobile ad system.  To learn more about the Google Adsense for Mobile Apps system, you may visit the mobile section of their AdSense Blog.

There are lots of ways to make money with PPC ads such as Google’s AdSense program.  You’ll find thousands of sites online with content targeting a specific set of keywords just to get a little money from the PPC ads on their pages.  Most of these sites are pure garbage, and the search engines are getting better at filtering them out of search results.  Add to that the fact that more people are using alternative methods for finding good content because sites like these show up in the search engine results.

So, what can you do to make extra money with PPC ads when the game seems to keep changing?
Obviously, the best way to make money with anything is to provide a quality product or service.  For website owners, that usually means providing high-quality information on a specific topic.  And by high-quality I mean fresh, original content that isn’t something you’ve purchased for a few bucks and republished.  But that doesn’t mean you have to spend hours at your keyboard writing content. 

You can let your visitors add to your content.
There are many ways to do this.

• Request articles. Some writers will provide content just to get their name published. 
• Create forums to discuss topics that interest your visitors.  
• Allow visitors to place ads for buying and selling products related to a specific niche.  Just make sure the ad script is SEO-friendly or you won’t benefit from the ad content. 
• Create a dating site just for people interested in a specific topic.  There are free and inexpensive scripts for this as well.
• Add cartoons or jokes on your site and update them frequently.
• Add online gaming (not gambling) to your site along with quality content.  The games will keep visitors coming back, and the content can include ads that may be relevant to their interests.  Be careful with this one because competitive gaming is governed by law in many areas.  If the games are just for fun, you should be safe.

I’ve used a few of these methods to build sites, and they provide me with a constant source of income.  The key thing to keep in mind is that you must provide quality content or a valuable service to keep visitors interested.  If you intend to make money with PPC ads, you want your visitors to be just interested enough to come to the site.  Then you want them to click away to something that catches their eye in an ad.  If you’re providing good content, it’s more likely that they will be really interested in what your advertisers have to offer.  That will keep your ad payment rates higher, and it will also help to prevent advertisers from asking to have their ads removed from your site.

The toughest part of building a community site is attracting those first visitors, so expect a bit of work up-front to get things rolling.  No one likes to be the first person to comment on a forum, so you may need to help your visitors feel more comfortable by “seeding” your forum or ad site with a few comments of your own - or from friends.   I don’t advocate being deceptive, but you really have to be creative in order to get a conversation started among your visitors.  When I started my first classified ads site, I simply included an ad that said “Place your ad here to sell your…  It just might get results. After all, you’re reading this aren’t you?”  That’s all it took to get things rolling.  Within a few weeks, I had dozens of ads - all getting indexed by search engines.
