That’s good news. I would love to see the recommended ebook for AdSense.
Will wait for this post too.

Thanks,

If I were to give you some advice then I would say to either stick with Adsense or affiliate income. Until you have mastered on of them it will only confuse you to focus on both. Choose Adsense or Affiliate Marketing, but not both.

Great so your first goal is to make $100 in a month. That seems like a perfect and achievable goal when starting out. Expect that you can achieve it in 4-8 months depending on the time and effort you put into it.

Having a plan is CRUCIAL if you want to make money fairly quickly. If you don’t have a plan you WILL be wasting a lot of time. Sit down and make a plan that you will be able to follow. It can include thing like: posts per day, linkbuilding per day, blog commenting per day etc. Depending on the number of hours you plan to work you can do more or less per day.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When you have created you plan you MUST followed it every single day. No excuses. This is a vital point and where most people fail.

Find an ebook about making money with Adsense (or affiliate marketing). Now follow everything that is said in that ebook. Don’t read any other ebooks or try to come up with your own stuff. You’ll only hurt your progress if you do that.

Now I know where you are at because I have been there myself. If you are like me you are probably not going to follow my advice and it might take you 12 months or more to make your first $100/month.

My advice is to not be like me. Follow the advice and don’t try to be smarter than the people that are already making money online. Do what they do (exactly) and you will get the same success.

I will try to make money with Adsense and probably promote some affiliate products on my web site.

1. It’s hard to estimate my future income as I never made money through internet. I will be happy to see my first 500$. That will open the door for me. But to be convincing I would like to see at least 100$ of stable income per month (even if I dream for a bigger amount).
2. The reason I want to make it is to have a couple of income source. The other reason is that I can’t find a good job in my country now, and I see World Wide Web as a solution for making money. Struggling financially is not interesting at all.
3. My plan is to start my second website (my first one appeared to be opened in a very small market with very little searches, but I use it for learning), and try to earn some money with it.
In fact, I’ve got confused here. What do you mean by having a plan?
4. I have read a couple of ebooks. I can’t say that I follow step by step shown in a single ebook.
I am following Nicolas Prudhon’s method which I learned in his 21 Days SEO Mastery Course.

So next questions are:

- Do you know how much you want to make?
- Do you know why you want to make it?
- Do you have a plan?
- Are you following a proven method (ebook?)

I know of that trap and it is something to avoid. But let me ask you this question as I think it will help you move forward.

What is it that you are trying to achieve online?
