I have to say that I love Google.  It’s my homepage, and if I need information about anything it’s where I turn.  My husband jokes that I would die without Google in my life.   

The newest and greatest thing to come out of google is their Google AdSense.  They have allowed a way for anyone with a website or blog to add relevant content to their site and to get paid for doing so.  It’s a great way to get more information out there and for the average person who want to earn a little extra money it is an easy way to do so. 

Very easy steps to get going:

Sign up for a free blog.  I use wordpress and it has been great.  Then start talking about anything that you think other people would be interested in.  You would be surprised at the simplest ideas that can create a very active blog.  You also need to customize the look and feel of your blog to make them your own.  Here are a few a great places to find some free templates and information on how to install them. 

BloggingThemes

WordPress Themes

SmashingMagazine

Then link to your favorite sites, blog away, and watch your traffic meter rise.  Once you have some traffic, submit your site to Google’s AdSense and begin making money.
