How do I start making money out of the ads I place on my web page?

Put as many ads as possible on one page (preferably the home page.) This will ensure that visitors can easily access the advertisements, making them more susceptible to clicking and therefore earning you MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!!!11!1

Personally, I believe the best way to make money with your website is to first focus on making great content that people want to see, whether that’s information, a community, or whatever your niche is. People focus far too early on monetizing their traffic before they really have any traffic to speak of.

With that said, here’s some resources to get you going a lot better than I could…

Chris Pirillo – Has basically given the world access to his life and then monetized every part possible. Worth taking a look.

Performancing – is all about “Helping Bloggers Succeed”, and their definition of success is making money, so they have tips and tools to help out

ProBlogger – I just came across this one recently, but seems to be along the same lines. It’s by a gentleman who actually makes his living blogging about various topics he enjoys and then offering advice to others who want to do the same.

Good luck.

Can those steps also be applied on a blog on wordpress or blogspot?

I don’t know about blogspot but I know wordpress.com doesn’t allow you to advertise on their blogs (unless you’re one of their “VIPs”).

Your best bet would be to purchase some decent, reasonable hosting that supports simple installs of WordPress to get started. I like DreamHost and would really recommend them, they have a “one-click” install for WordPress through their control panel and excellent support if you get stuck. Since it’s on your own hosting you can do whatever you want regarding ads and such (within reason).

Their yearly plan is normally $119.40 for the year ($9.95/month) but if you’re interested, drop me a message with your email address and I can set you up a coupon code to save most of that for the first year. (they pay referral fees, which the code would basically just pass along to you automatically)... one domain name registration is included in that as well, so you don’t have to do that before hand. Start thinking of a name though.

If you have an existing blog, there is usually a way to export your content fairly easily and move it over to the new location. That way you don’t lose the content. WordPress is pretty good about accepting incoming exports as well.

Take a look, let me know if you have any questions, drop me a comment on here if I can help with the DreamHost promo code, and good luck getting it all running.

Thanks, this is very kind of you! :)
I like DreamHost too, they seem to have a pretty good Python support.

I’d really like to keep in contact with you, because I’m looking forward to establish my own site, I’m planning to build it with Django, so of course DreamHost will be the best choice for it.

Thanks again! ^_^
