    Well I feel interested when I see that many over here make alot of money from internet ...And I feel happy to those people ..
    But what makes me sad that I sit daily about 12 hours online and didnt do yet any $ from websites ...

    3- Any website "Free" to teach me all these ?
    Thanks and please need your help ..

    Content that is popular is a double edged sword usually..it means that the competition is stiffer for that market most likely, and it will be harder to grab a some of that traffic.

    Adsense is great for making a few bucks, and it can even make you a significant income, but recently LOTS of publishers have been having problems (being banned), so do yourself a favor; use adsense, but diversify (my sig has a great program to join). YPN is ok if you live in the US. Adbrite.com is ok, but if you don't live in the US it's a great alternative.

    Go through the forums, find members with lots of posts that seem respected, and check out their websites. That'll give you a good idea of some things you can start that have a chance of being profitable.

    Why not ask the guy in your avatar Hasan Nasrullah, he might know

    Unique new content is a very good way to keep a site developing

    if you write only about what is popular - then you are raping yourself
    you also should keep in mind of what
    - you love most to write about
    - you are a true expert in
    then you can write any number of pages to get the visitors you love

    if people actually bookmark your site or subscribe your RSS feeds - then you are an expert help for them
    each has an expert potential - just find your most preferred topic and then you turn into an everlasting source of new content

    You spend 12 hours a day online and still don't know if you can get adsense or not. Maybe you should spend some more of your time learning the basics.

    I find that trying lots of different things is the best way to be sucessfull. If you can *luck* on to a site that is profitable, then you can focus on that to build traffic and income. But spending too much time on a site that is not making money (and has a level of traffic-maybe minimum 20 uniques/day) sufficient for you to know that it's not making money is just a waste of time. Move on, try something else.

    To answer a couple of your questions - you can probably get adsense - maybe not if you live in Nigeria and they pay by check and in some cases bank deposit if your in the UK, US etc.

    - You can find websites with huge amounts of visitors by searching popular keywords at google and clicking on the first result - maybe joke, porn, travel etc, but this won't really help you as you don't have a chance of getting these positions. Use the overture search tool to find search terms that have a decent amount of searches but don't have too much competition .

    You asked about a free website to teach you these things, HERE YOU GO

    Making money on the web is not something that can be done without hard work and unique content. Depending on Adsense may be good for some people but some of us are just making pocket change from it. For me Adsense income is really just bonus.

    I think the key is not to follow the crowd because if you do, you just be chasing the same pie and find that you have a lot of competition. Do what you believe in, be unique and it would pay.

    I make more money by buying and selling things on the web rather than from ads. You really need a lot of traffic to generate good content. To get huge traffic, you probably need to invest a lot of your time and money. You need to make yourself known. Make sure what you do is viral which means it would keep people coming back and advertising for you.

    I think if you have skills you could look at web design, banner designs or even SEO work. Those things pays because you have skill. If you do not come from a 1st world country and the cost of living is low in your country, your competitive advantage may be that you can price your services low and yet deliver the same level or higher than your western counterpart.

    Hugeforum, you're not going to be spoonfed detailed lessons on "how to make money". You need to formulate sources of income based on your own experience, ideas & bits of information you pick up.

    Adsense, adbrite, YPN, clicksor, amazon associates, clickbank are some programs that you can use to monetize a website with unique content.

    Think for yourself. I suggest content that you are familiar with and can write about. Once you pick a niche, analyze the competition.

    Read everything you can get your hands on, diversify, and brainstorm. Most people don't make money because they don't have a unique idea.

    You can't make those figures over night? Start from a niche that you're familiar with. Try adsense first, continue learning every aspect of online marketing then you can add affiliate programs like cj, clickbank, and amazon. Online is a game of patience...

    CJ = Commission Junction http://www.cj.com

    It basically works with advertisers who would buy per performance, ie like when someone follow through the banners and make some purchases off the site. They will pay you a commission either fix or based on the sales amount.

    First u have to get traffic to your site - do some SEO ,link building and buying, articles etc.. Dont go to put ads initially to your site , coz visitors may feel irritating and then wont come back . so keep your site clean of ads and when you r done with traffic , go for cpm or cpc ads :) this is what i feel right.

    If you spend 12 hours online per day and can't earn any money, how long will it take for someone here to teach you? :confused:

    It's very difficult to make money in Internet marketing immediately. It takes time, lots of time.

    Trying approaching making money from a different angle. Look for problems that people are having, online and offline, to which you could provide the solutions.

    If you're a student, consider creating a site that solves students' problems... if you're a business person, create a site that solves problems for business people.

    If you focus on your audience and helping them, the money will come.

    Good luck.

    Cheers

    Angela
