Oh, forgot the most important part. Stay white hat. If you ever venture into the dark side of online ads, you will probably get caught and have a wasted investment.
Offline affiliate marketing is win-win, but in a cheap country it might be hard to pull off.
<adsense>
I know there are some issues with getting accepted for adsense in other countries. If you have problems, email me (profile link) and I'll give you one of the solutions.
1. Find a notepad.
2. Write: "Things I can teach you:"
3. List everything you imagine you can teach a person
(This can range from simple math to programming to drawing to singing like an american idol?)
4. Hard part is over! Relax and decide on your mid-range topics (ones you're not a guru at, but with a little research could obviously teach someone)
5. Create little niche sites (google keyword tool -> show CPC -> Arrange by amount of hits (look in the 10k-20k views range -> google "keyword" (yeah quotes) -> if its less than 40k pages, and wikipedia is a top result, you probably just found a $9 investment (domain cost) that would turn into $20/mo.
6. Once you've spent 2 weeks doing this, you should have a feel for the idea and what grasps people's attention etc. Try some of your more guruish topics. Hell, make an ebook and offer it on one of your adsense sites.
</adsense>
<articles/imgs>There are also tons of sites that pay you to write articles[1] or photoshop!</art/img>
<translations>You said cheap country, but I don't really understand the scope of that... but I'm going to assume you know another language. If so, start a site offering translation services or just scope out people. iPhone apps, etc need translations and shell out serious cash for them.</trans>

One final bit: when you research (blogs/sites) you will probably stumble upon keywords like 'mesothelioma, structured settlements, annuity payments, criminal lawyers, tax attorneys, asbestos, etc,' being the gold mines. Don't waste your time. $40/clk($5-15 your share) sounds amazing, but its another losing game trying to get ranked in search engines.

- al_ 17y agoAny concrete example of one of those adsense niche sites ? I have a hard time picturing what you're talking about.
- ambiate 17y agohttp://www.mesotheliomalawyerssandiego.org/ http://www.mesotheliomalawyerssandiego.org/ First result in google for some micro niche. Notice how the articles are over on the right, the page is filled with content relating to the keyword, and adsense is splattered everywhere. It is a generic site, probably spun articles (used a program to rewrite someone else's articles), but its still in the top of the search engine. Once I got into SEO, I realized that 90% of the sites I access from random google searches are just there to make adsense money. No upkeep is involved. None of the content is original. I was searching for "Ford Escort ZX2 2002 install intake" and the first 3 links were all spun articles... BUT I actually found the information I needed in these spun articles. So, how evil is this? Iono.
