We got a broad question from Gurry over at our pink "How to start a blog" site, where you can ask all your questions and we will answer them!
Since this is a question about making money, of course we tackle it here 
How to make money
This is a broad question, so we will condense everything in one post, which means for deeper explanations about making money, please ask a more specific question!
1. Let money make more money
- buy wisdom and use it to your benefit!
- buy a product and resell it
- buy a few products, recombine them and sell it (buy water, sugar and fruit and sell it as marmalade)
- put your money in a savings account
- put your money in funds
- put your money in the stock market but make sure you know what you are doing, otherwise go for funds
- pay others to do the work for you and sell their product or service
2. Work hard for the money
- get a dayjob
- start blogging and make money online
- combine the above: get a dayjob and start blogging during office hours to make money online
3. Try your luck
- buy a lottery ticket
- look for a dollar bill in your socks (yes, most likely you will be as lucky here as when buying a lottery ticket )
4. Do things that are not allowed
Unfortunately there are a lot of ways to make money illegally. They look attractive but you risk your freedom. Buying a lottery ticket you only risk your money.
Once you have made your money, you need to spend it wisely. The main killer for your personal wealth are credit cards charging you a ridiculous high amount of interest.
Make sure you earn money for yourself and not for the bank!
How to make money online
In short you can go through the list of 4 money makers above and use it to make money online.
We are making money doing most of the work ourselves and sometimes we ask other people to do the work for us: they write a post for us and most likely they will add their link in their post. If you feel your website can use some extra advertisement and buzz, just write a post and leave a comment over at How to start a blog.
Then I make easy money using the following recommended money makers:
All let you add some code on your blog so you will show some kind of advertisement.
Linkworth and Smorty also let you write posts for money.

Blogging ain’t easy. You might have noticed that my site was a few hours down. Luckily I found a top alternative Adsense plugin and we are up and running making money online again
Managing multiple blogs (my Learn French blog, my cute names for kittens blog…) and trying to make all blogs look different, is even harder.
There are dozens of ways to implement Adsense into your blog, but none of them are this easy or this appealing to the users. The EZ Adsense Wordpress plugin allows you to use Adsense, Yahoo, Adbrite, Amazon, you name it. No one else can claim such flexibility!
Additionally, we’ve made a layout manager that allows you to move things around a bit. If you like two columns on the left for one blog, or two columns on the right for another, no problem.
Previously, the hard part of implementing advertising into Wordpress has been editing the files for your Adsense information and configuring the header image, navigation and other elements with your WordPress powered blog.
The core feature of this add-on pack is the exclusive Easy Adsense Wordpress (EZWP) plugin that handles all this for you. You simply copy and paste your Adsense ads into the correct blocks in the Advertising Editor and let the EZWP Plugin do the rest!
Here’s what you can do:
- Easily insert your Adsense (or any other advertising system) codes into your Super Adsense themes - The EZWP Plugin lets you use any other advertising code, not just Adsense! You can now use Adbrite, Yahoo ads, or others. It’s easy and no file editing is required.
- Easily customize your header graphic - You can quickly download, modify, and upload your header graphic. We also include Gimp! The free graphics editor you can use if you don’t have Photoshop.
- Edit your navigation links - You can now edit and create your top menu navigation links from within Wordpress! We strive to make managing your blog completely intuitive without having to edit any files. We’ve made an editor for your navigation menu to make life easy!
- All 30 original Super Adsense themes customized for our plugin - I had to do a lot of work to customize the Super Adsense themes and make things easier. You’ll get the full benefits of the EZ Adsense Wordpress system by using our customized themes. The key feature to our system is the flexible column layout editor. Now you can have your navigation/advertising columns in any arrangement you desire.
- Add Google Analytics - It’s important to track your blogs usage, so we’ve included an edit box for you to place your tracking code. You can use Google Analytics, Sitemeter.com, or any other tracking system. Every page of your blog now will have the tracking code.
- Regular upgrades - As we improve our code, we’ll notify our paid member community so you can get the new code asap!
- Membership Forum - As a paid member, you get exclusive access to our members-only forum and newsletter. Don’t miss a single important update! We use our forums as a think-tank, where we discuss new features and get your input or to report bugs.

Contextual ads need good context for good ads
Unlike websites for pets, that have advertisement straight about pets, blogging about juicy subjects like a sexy secretary gives you the famous "Hurricane Ads"…
Cat protection should be a better contextual advertisement
than bragging about how the US cannot even take care about its own citizens
and needing Google to help them out in raising money on the Internet.
New visitors are always good
If you suddenly incorporate a new topic in your blog, a topic that is very in demand of course, then you will attract new visitors.
New visitors are not yet blinded by your contextual ads and click through much easier than your regular visitors.
Regular visitors come for your content, not for your advertisement, therefore it’s very difficult to make money on the Internet with showing always the same ads to your visitors.
One way to change contextual ads easily is bragging about new topics, pets for instance…
Cat on ceiling fan
Now I hear you saying: what have pets to do with how to make money online?
Then I ask you: what have cats to do with selling Nokia phones? Seemingly a lot if you watch this cat on a ceiling fan…
How to make money on the Internet with blogs that don’t make money online
Now that would be quite out of topic, unless you make it a topic
Typical example here is our famous DaddyP, blogging on the Wordpress site, so not allowed to make money online.
Yet DaddyP is FUN and you always get a crowd when you are FUN! And a crowd means: sooner or later they will have a look at your site and voila, again new visitors you can make money on the Internet with.
DaddyP fits in right anywhere: from his last wheelchair post it’s easy to post a cats on Tuesdays equivalent like so:
Cat Products
Just that this DaddyP blog is becoming so popular that almost after a merry 100 comments on his wheelchair post, the subject suddenly changes to juicy Orange Whips…
Orange Whip, foxy like well, a fox, which is a cat, isn’t it?
Catnip
Why not using a contextual ad filter
Why Linky Love doesn’t use the Adsense filter to tell Adsense not to make contextual ads about sexy secretaries? Why not using catnip against sexy secretaries?
Catnip: to use or not to use in contextual advertising?
Don’t use the "catnip" Adsense filter! Why?
Because that would be all against the idea of a "good visitors experience".
If you came here for sexy secretaries, then you should get what you came for. Using catnip tactics with blocking the sexy secretary out of the contextual ads would be like taking the present out the box and then presenting it…
I know lots of bloggers do use the Adsense filter (like those days John Chow was still in love with Adsense), so as with everything on the Internet: it’s a personal choice, depending on what you want for your visitors.
Cat’s on Tuesdays and making money online summarized
- make a general category that could cover lots of topics and imagination centered around 1 subject
- use this category to interact with other bloggers and new visitors that at first sight don’t fit in your blog
- it’s all about Internet Marketing: get yourself noticed! , It’s not really about SEO…
