You've probably heard the phrase, "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours", right? One of the secrets to my success online has been a whole lot of back-scratching. Have I been intentionally inviting reciprocation from other people attempting to make money online? The answer is no. I have been helping others make money online for a long time at the expense of making money online for myself and it's human nature for those people to want to scratch my back in return.

The Absolute Easiest Way to Make Money Online

My older son (Joseph), whose wife is stationed in Germany while he's a work-at-home Dad, recently (maybe a month ago) asked me how he could make money online the way I do. I told him what the first step was and he has yet to take action on my instructions. He has told me since that his son (Joshua), my grandson, takes up all of his time. Joshua is merely a toddler and I can understand his situation to some degree because I raised two sons of my own, Joseph included.

Despite what you may read at other places on the net, Google AdSense publishing is by far the easiest way to make money online and the most lucrative for the amount of work you have to put into it. Many people will tell you that Google AdSense sucks because they make pennies a day from it. The reason it sucks for them is because they don't know how to use it properly. Ever since I started learning about search engine optimization in conjunction with Google AdSense publishing, I have not made less than USD $100.00 per month and my first month at making more than that was along time ago. Prior to that, I was one of the people who thought that Google AdSense sucked even though I never told anyone what I thought about it.

Rather than go through the ordeal of teaching people how to do what I do one at a time, I plan to start a tutorial right here on this blog. Joseph can read it and get all the information he needs along with everyone else who takes the time to read, learn and execute. The best part about the tutorial will be that you'll be able to see that you can make money with no money of your own to invest.

The Make Money Online Competition

There will be a lot of people competing with you, as they are with me, for search engine visitors to their websites. No topic is as fiercely competitive, in my opinion, as the "make money online" (MMO) crowd. The topic is saturated beyond belief by both people trying to obtain search engine visitors and people trying to obtain social visitors alike. This is the reason I recommend that you attempt to be competitive in some other "niche". Even with my knowledge and experience, I will not try to compete with the MMO crowd.

I don't need to compete with the MMO crowd and I won't. I have some fantastic connections with prominent people who have MMO sites that rank on the first page of the Google search engine and I certainly don't want to make business enemies out of business friends. Besides, these are the some of the people who scratch my back at times when I really need it.

Just creating the intended tutorial is a competition of sorts. The difference is that I'm not going to try to rank for the "make money" keywords. If I do, it will be dumb luck and not something I'm trying to do. I'll actually be "stealing" information that I've learned about how to make money with Google AdSense from other people, so it makes no sense to compete with those same people.

The Tutorial

I'm not going to say where I'm going to start in the process because there are a couple of options I have to choose from with both being as valid as the other. People are used to doing things a certain way and I'm no exception, so I have to examine the best route to take that will provide you with the most benefit.

The tutorial will start with the very next post on this blog and in keeping with the theme of producing pattern interrupts, I plan to hype the unconventional as well as the conventional methods.

• Make Money Online: You May Not Get Rich, But There's No Reason To Be Poor

You may have heard an old phrase, "where there's a will, there's a way", but you probably don't know how it could apply to you. This is especially true if you apply it to the online world. You can make money online just like a lot of other people, but you have to know how to do it. You may not get rich, but there's no reason to be poor if you use your brain and listen to the right people.

Money for Nothing, Almost

There's only one thing that can stop anyone from making money online. I kid you not. That one thing is Internet access. You can get free Internet access at specific places, but I can't tell you where all the places are. Some public libraries offer free, yet limited, Internet access. If you have a relative with Internet access, you can leech off of him or her pretty easily.

If you live in a place like I do, the only free Internet access would probably be a distant relative or a very good friend. Internet access can be inexpensive, though, if you know where to look. Internet cafes are not too expensive for most people, even here.

Start a Free Blog

There are so many ways to make money online, it would be ridiculous for me to even try to tell you what they all are. I'll start with the easiest way.

Google owns blogger.com and allows you to set up a blog about almost anything on their blogspot.com domain. You can even put Google AdSense ads up on the blog, if nothing else. Guess what? It's totally free. Now, I don't personally use the free blogs, but that's only because I don't want to learn a new blogging platform right now. At least I know I have the option to use that route if and when I choose to do so and it won't cost me anything more than I spend right now for my Internet access.

Types of Online Businesses

If you see a need that isn't being filled by other online offerings, you can do something crazy like I did with ConnectContent.com and start an online business, but you don't have to go all out like that. There are people who have regular websites (non-blog) for things like a Christian online business or an eBay online selling site.

The point is that you have to do more than sit on your duff wishing you knew what to do to get started. If you use your imagination and your brain, you can do things that may seem almost magical to other people.

Setting an Example

I have five blogs that I write on. Oh, not all at once to be sure, but I try to write on each once or twice per week at the minimum. I'm not a great writer, but I know how to write. More importantly, I know how to write for you, the reader, as well as for search engines at the same time. I didn't learn how to it overnight and I didn't learn by myself.

I spent a lot of time reading the wrong things from the wrong people. When I finally started reading the right things from the right people, things started to click and I started making money. The clincher is that even if I never write another thing, I will continue to make money. Since the amount that I make is more than the cost of my web hosting and Internet access combined (including a required telephone line for DSL), I am essentially making money online and it isn't costing me anything at all.

I probably won't get rich, but I'll never be poor.
