    So You want to earn money online? Maybe you just need some extra spending money or maybe your sick of the "rat race" and looking for a fresh start.
    Well you've found the right place!
    From Paid Survey Sites to Affiliate Marketing and many many inbetween, this Blog was created to give you an honest, realistic outlook on the best ways to earn money online. 
You see, I was just like you not so long ago. I had gotten laid off from my job as an Insurance Consultant and since I could afford to take some time off I decided to explore the new "work at home online" jobs
    Blogging for dollars might sound like the latest game show or some new drinking game, but it's the latest craze to hit the Internet. Bloggers began blogging for a number of reasons, but as the blog movement has increased in popularity, they have found ways to monetize their blogs and are seeing their commitment pay off.
    Whether a blogger's focus is to communicate with customers or just to have fun, they have begun looking at ways to earn revenue from their blogs. The most popular ways for bloggers to earn some added cash for their pet projects are:
    1. ) Google Adsense in Blogs Google AdSense allows webmasters to dynamically serve content-relevant advertisements in blogs. If the visitor clicks one of the AdSense ads served to the blog, the website owner is credited for the referral. Webmasters need only to insert a Google-generated java script into the blog or blog template. Google's spider parses the AdServing blog and serves ads that relate to the blog's content. Google uses a combination of keyword matching and context analysis to determine what ads should be served.
    2. ) Affiliate Programs (Product Endorsements) Affiliate Programs work when an affiliate web site receives income for generating sales, leads, or traffic to a merchant website. Generally, bloggers will mention or endorse specific products and if site visitors purchase the product, bloggers will receive a portion of the sale.
    3. ) Product Promotion  Businesses use blogs to detail how specific features or product add-ons can increase functionality and save time. Content-rich product promotion will help with search engine placement.
    4.) Banner Ads While less popular than in the past, websites with high traffic levels can still earn decent revenue by selling banner space.
    As the Internet evolves bloggers will continue to seek out ways to monetize their opinions and thoughts. Daily journals and online blogs have become more than just a communication means to many.
