Like with any type of work or even side business, you'll need to devote time to developing your online money-making plan.

     Set up an informative blog website devoted to a specific topic. A themed blog that contains helpful information on a topic can attract visitors, make them want to return and help establish your website as an authority on the subject. You can use online tools, such as Google Trends or Yahoo Buzz, to look for popular topics on which you may want to create your blog. Once the website is set up, joining advertising networks can bring in revenue from ads that the network displays on your site. Advertising networks include Google AdSense, Clicksor, Bidvertiser, Chitika and Kontera. When visitors click on these ads, you earn a certain amount of the advertiser's revenue and are paid at a set time every month, depending on the pay cycle set by the advertising network.
