In this modern age, every student is on the Internet whether it’s research, Facebooking, sending emails or just surfing in their spare time. In addition, many students set up webpages or blogs for themselves, course projects or to do with their interests.

If you have set up a webpage of some sort, why no monetize it? By this, I mean actually making it generate some revenue for yourself. It’s relatively simple to do to an existing webpage or blog that you may have set up. The basics of doing this (and I really do mean basics, I can cover the more advanced stuff later) involves:

Putting up Paid-Per-Click (PPC) links

If you look at the top of this post, you will see two links which should bear some sort of relevance to the post.. under this post, it reads ‘Ads by Google’. The way this works is that everytime someone clicks on any of the links above (hence Paid-Per-Click), Google pay me money for introducing the lead. If you lots of visitors to this site, then there is a greater chance of them clicking these links and the more money you can make. However, you should never click your own links as you will be banned forever and your account with them suspended.

 

I have used Google Adsense on this site but there are many other providers which can provide you with a PPC solution, ones I have used include:

Google Adsense
BidVertiser
Oxado
