I must confess, this idea has slowly wrapped itself around my brain – and I should have paid attention much earlier… but if you want to make money on the Internet – there’s only one single skill that you must have! With it, you can make money easily, without it, you’ll work quite hard no matter how you try to earn online.

I have a wonderful website… but a simple 4 or 5 paragraph article will jump to the front page of Google everytime! Why does Ezinearticles, or similar article directories – have such powerful results, and my website such poor results? The answer is simple:

One of the reasons that small business owners are generally in the top tax bracket, is not because they tend to be workaholics, putting in 60 hour workweeks – although such is common. The reason they tend to be wealthy is because they’ve learned that a business can take on a life of it’s own – and you earn not just from your own efforts, but from the efforts of others as well.

Adsense is a wonderful way to monetize your website – you allow Google to place ads on your website, and Google will share some of the profits with you. They won’t tell you what percentage they’ll share with you, and as a monopoly, they pretty much ‘rule the roost’ – you play by their rules, or you don’t play. So after you’ve signed up, the first thing to do is to read their Terms of Service (TOS) to make sure you don’t violate any of their rules.

Many website owners eventually drift into traffic exchange websites, or other sorts of websites that promise you traffic – but the traffic that they send you is always momentary traffic. In other words – your potential customers are going to view your website for just 30 seconds or less. So you have to ‘catch’ these ‘fish’ rather quickly – that’s the job of a good splash page.
