    How do you guys make like $500 a month?

    I'm not stupid I know how the world works, I've tried it all.. out a blog together, brought in traffic, did social networking and other methods of marketing.. but not a dime.

    I've done affiliate programs and nothing.

    I didn't just half fast it, I spent a good deal of time into these things. Can you guys just tell me how you guys got started.. I need like ideas and inspiration.. I'm tired of putting money down for advertising hosting domains and other stuff and not get anything in return.

    Forget your advertising for a moment. If its not bringing you the results you want, there is no point throwing more money into advertising!

    I know you probably don't want to hear this, but its all to do with Search engine optimization, good quality content and giving your visitors what they want. Run your website like a business, not a pet project that 'should' work because you spent $xxx on advertising. If you can figure out what your visitors want, and then give it to them, the rest will fall into place.

    Easier said then done I know. I often think there's a lot of hit and miss involved. I don't know any webmaster that can start new sites consistently and earn $500 per month from them. But for me personally its a case of content, then more content, and making sure Google can easily find and index that content. It won't work fast, but it does work over the long haul.

    It takes hard work unless you are selling something people want. The people that make that kind of money online every month are usually affiliates that sell things on their website like hardware equipment etc. Of course you can monetize your site with Adsense or something. But you need good quality content and need to build up a good solid reputation for yourself / your site. It takes time and dedication. And a little skill. All the best!

    Currently, I am not making this much but in the past when I was doing work at freelance sites, I was then able to earn more than $500 per month.

    "I'm tired of putting money down for advertising hosting domains and other stuff and not get anything in return"

    Then try freelancing. No investment is required. You will be doing different kinds of online jobs to earn some good amount of money at freelance sites.

    tried social networking?But for what kind of blog?if your blog is a niche blog,you must try article marketing instead of social.Moreover its hard to make money with a tech blog unless you get a large amount of traffic - so it is better to target less competitive keywords and build a blog around it.

    What do you blog about? You have to find things that you can intelligently talk about and use services like mybloglog and others to make your blog known.
    You can put affiliate ads and PPC ads on your blog once traffic picks.
    Make sure that you update your blog often and post about topics that can bring you traffic.

    It depends. My average poor performing) blog makes abt $50-100/mo. Repeat the method until you get the income you want. That's all. So, to earn 500/mo you just need 10-20 blogs. Easy math.

    You are strating from PTC sites and complete offers.That way you can make about 20$ in a month.After that you can start investing your money or buy refs for your PTC sites and they will "work for you".You really should invest some of your own cash to make bigger cash.

    i concentrate on a few sites and really go at them with constant upgrades of unique content rather than 100 crap sites never updated or same old churned out articles.
