This being my first post, I thought it might be fitting to describe how to apply for an Adsense account. After all this blog is about making money online, and it is my purpose to share how others as well make money online. Google's Adsense program is the most widely used and adopted program for publishers , bloggers and website owners. No it is not the only one out there, but it is the most widely used and arguably best so this is where we shall start. In the coming weeks I may touch on others.

I know by now you must be rather intrigued and excited about the possibility of making money online. How much money can be made? the sky is the limit. Some people make pocket change, others put more effort part time and research well, and make a decent supplement to their normal jobs and careers. There are also those "experts" out there who make a living from running their own websites, blogs and forums. And yes using Google's Adsense program to make money online and bring in the dough.

What is Adsense? In short it is a program for both advertisers and website publishers to display content related ads to people surfing websites. More importantly YOUR website. As a publisher and website owner you can display these ads on your website and earn money each time someone comes to your site and click on one of the ads. Simple enough eh? In the coming weeks and months I plan to share more information on exactly how to ramp up traffic to your website or blog as well as information on how to create a better looking page, blog or web site to help improve your money making with Adsense from Google. As well look for information on others who are doing the exact same thing. Now back to this article. How to create an Adsense account!

I will assume you already have a Blog or a web site that you wish to monetize or add advertisements to, for the purpose of generating some added extra revenue.

First thing is first! Make sure that your website meets all the requirements for submitting a site to Google's Adsense program, which can be found at Googles Adsense Site.
Now that your website meets their general rules and requirements and does not post adult oriented pictures and is indeed a site rich in content as well as no illegal type information or actions you are then ready to goto the next step. The sign up stage!

You will then be asked for things like your name, email address, and mailing address. You will also have to submit your country of origin and website URL where you will be displaying your Google Adsense Ad's. Of course you will also choose the payment preference. The paypal method if you have a paypal account and do not wish to receive cheques in the mail or cheque if you live in an accepted region for the mailing of personal cheques.
In all it will take you minutes to fill out the application form. But my advice is to take plenty of time and read all of the FAQ's as well as other documentation offered to learn about the program. You will be glad you did.

After you apply, you will then have to wait for your application to be reviewed. This process typically takes 2 to 3 days (Business days that is) for a site to be reviewed. My best advice is to be patient and continue working on your website or blog during this waiting period and improve upon it. If a week goes by and you have not received an acceptance or rejection email then perhaps a polite email can be sent to inquire about your sites review.

That's it! Simple as 1 2 3
Now the easy part is done!
And now you too can be on the road to earning money online!
