Blogging for money has become the international way for teens to make money online because it is free to set up a blog, it is free to place the advertisements on your blog, it is free to get traffic to your website, and it is free to get your hands on your ad revenue (no exchange fees etc).



You will need only these basic requirements in order to start up your own online business: a computer that access to the internet, and time. Here are the steps to take if you already have these two things.

First, register for a free email account with one of any online providers such as gmail or yahoo. Do not use your real name or anything that identifies your race, sex, or location.

Second, register with any of the free blogging sites out there; if you don't know who they are just do a search for 'free blog'; use your newly created email for the registration.

Third, you will need to go back to your blog and get started. Go to Google Adsense and register for an account. Do this now because it takes several days to get approved. You will want to use your actual real information in this registration because this is who they will send the money to. If you are too young then just ask your parents if you can use their name. Use your real address unless you want some dude in Beverly Hills to get your checks (yes I know the only fake zip code everyone seems to know is 90210 -- can we get a little creativity once in a while guys?)

Fourth, you will need to find content for your blog so that people will want to come visit you. For this you will want to choose a topic, or a niche. For this there is a valuable tool called the Google Adwords Keyword Tool (google it to find it). This an excellent tool to use if you are unsure about what niche to pick. The trick is to pick something that people search for but something that is not so overly popular that there are already a million websites on the subject. There are some easy ways to check out what kind of competition you will be facing before you get started. Don't choose "making money online" or "credit cards" or insurance because you will get slaughtered. You need to find a very refined topic, straight out of left field. I've got some more tools for this at my website so check the link in the resource box.

Fifth, once you get a topic you will need to start writing some content about it. Remember you want a topic that is searched for, not one that only you know about (don't choose 'Bad Things I did When I was Thirteen')because nobody will be searching of that. Save your personal rants for social sites. This is your money making blog. For the next steps you will have to visit my site http://howteensmakemoneyonline.blogspot.com
