If you own a website or a blog, you stand a chance of making some money through Google adsense. Google adsense is an advertising platform set up by google to display ads on websites and blogs while the webmaster earns a commission from user clicks, impressions and interactions with the ads displayed on your website or blog.
Someone once asked me how people make money online, and according to the fact, the commonest route through which people make money online is through Google Adsense. The only requirements are:
You must own a website or blog
Be approved for Adsense
Be able to drive reasonable traffic to your website or blog.
If you do not already have a blog, and you are interested in making money online with google via Adsense, you should consider starting a professional blog for free, still with Google.
Same goes for monetizing videos on YouTube, but I will talk about this as we go on.
Google Adwords
Another way to make money online with Google is through Google Adwords. Google Adwords is very similar to Google Adsense, but this time, it is made solely for advertisers. Advertisers are those who publishes the Ads that would be displayed on your blog or website. Google has an algorithm that figures how and where these Ads are displayed on the advertising sites and blogs.
You may not earn directly using Google Adwords, but being able to effectively use Google Adwords means you can increase your page views, get more sales and make your products more visible to your end users, through the understanding of how the Adwords product help in analyzing user keywords and their relative densities. This is very similar to Search Engine Optimization(SEO), but you will see more of SEO later in this post.
Are you someone who is willing to share your opinion to help others? Most times, this exceptional service of sharing your vital opinions go unrewarded. But here is Google Opinion Rewards, a platform where you get paid for sharing your opinions about certian events, places or activities.
Through Google Opinion Rewards, you can earn free Google Play credits for just giving your opinion to Google.
It’s easy to start up, you can download the app at the Google Play Store and answer surveys in your free time. You will receive a notification when a survey is available for you to take. Most surveys will pay you up to one dollar for your opinion. The survey topics vary, so you will never get bored of the topics you answer questions about. The amount of money you make might be small, but it always nice to have some extra money in your spare time to use for fun things like movies and games.
Google Merchants
Do you build Android apps, or you have a cool idea for an app? There is an opening for you here. All you need to do it make the app available after building it, put it on Google Play Store.
There are two common ways to make money online with Google through your app.
You can make money by selling the app you have created on Google Play. Simply set up a Merchant account with Google Wallet. Then publish the app as a paid app and watch the money roll in each time someone downloads it. You can include Google Ads in your app, such that as users uses your app, you also display ads to them. I will cover more of this in the AdMob later in this post.
Search Engine Optimization(SEO) Consultant
SEO is one important aspect of the web environment that no website, blog or web app can afford to ignore. But it can be especially difficult most times. Very few people actually have the necessary skills to successfully implement SEO with reproducible results. So, if you are one of those few people who knows SEO, you have the opportunity to make good cash by working with various companies and agencies, either part-time, full-time or freelance.
Even if you do not yet know anything about SEO, and you are interested in it, you can learn about it easily and start making money online.

Google Checkout is a payment handling service that will help make transactions between you and your customers easier.

Make an e-commerce website for your business and integrate Google checkout as your payment platform. Then watch customers flooding in for your products and make more money.
Google Keyword Planner

If you own a website, then this could be helpful for your long-term success. When you know what people are searching for, you can easily craft or adjust your material to suit their needs.

As more visitors come to your site, you will have the opportunity to monetize that traffic and generate large profits over time. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see results right away, it may take a little while for your hard work to pay off.
