Find a topic you know a lot about and can write content for. Preferably on a topic few others work on, yet still where others like to read about.
Tourism in your area might be an easy topic, unless it's already overly populated with sites.

Next build a website for it (forget about adsense: too soon) build it to please visitors (it makes getting links easier)

Next promote it without spamming and get some reasonable results in search engines and traffic levels.
You'll need incoming links for that, they aren't easy to obtain.

Finally add adsense once you get enough visitors (a visitor to a quality website is worth abot US $0.01 (some sites more, some sites less.

If you keep it clean all the way its easy to maintain, if you even think of cheating (spamming, clicking on your own ads, ...) you'll find it's harder to keep your accounts than you imagine.

I love these "Can someone help me make money?" questions.

There are sites that are designed for new people to get started writing content and making a bit of money. AdSense has an API that some of these sites use. It doesn't require any technical knowledge, just the ability to produce good quality commercial content. Search on google for Adsense API case studies and you'll find a few.

If it was easy everyone would be doing it. swa66 offers the basic outline:

Topic
Website
Time and Promotion
Then Monetize

It will not happen over night, in a week, a few months... might happen in a year. There is no quick path... unless you have the neatest mousetrap ever invented.

[StoutFiles]

A few months is the soonest I've seen, and you have to have great content for it to happen.

[tangor]

I'll grant the few months instead of a year, but those success stories are few and far between. I'd rather be a tad more realistic than starry eyed, but YES success can come inside of a year, or even six months. It all depends on the content and the mousetrap (widget) involved.

I love these "Can someone help me make money?" questions too~

Can some one give me some money? haha

[incrediBILL]

It's not so hard, read "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone"
[webmasterworld.com...]

When you've done that, slap AdSense on the site.

Yes, if everyone in the world set up a website to make money using Adsense - guess what - nobody would make any money !

The people that make the money are the ones that got in early and have regular visitors.

Lets all setup a site selling widgets.

Lets all do affiliate marketing or SEO - get the idea.

I really like this advice. Seriously, if everyone approached building and monetizing websites this way, my life would be much easier.

No need to get in early, get in late is just as good as long as the content attracts the visitors.

There's still piles of room for newcomers. And here's my tip for the month for those that are struggling - it works better in small countries like the UK I think.

Look at all those "upmystreet" "visitlocal" sites that are making piles just by producing "local" content but in reality are just auto-generating what seems like local content. Take those "bar stewards" on but with a difference.

Actually visit those places and publish a picture or two to prove you've been there. Write up some real life content that those "auto-generated" sites cannot reproduce. It takes time but it works in the end. Somehow google eventually understands the quality of your pages compared to the auto-generated content. Pick a high eCPM subject and you have a winner. there are thousands of them.
