In the Beginning

In the beginning, there was Google.

What I'm saying is that Google and it's AdSense program is the first to get me excited about the possibility of making a good passive income online.

I actually signed up for the program about 2 years ago. I figured it would make me lots of money while I slept. That was the hype anyway. What actually happened was this. I forgot all about it. When I took a look 2 years later, I had a whopping $2.30. That's right two dollars and thirty cents.

So what was the problem? What went wrong? Well, the problem was that I did nothing and that is just what I got out of it.

My interest was rekindled by all the email ads I was getting from my marketing friends. I decided to take another look. I'm glad I did.

Next time I'll tell you how instead of doing nothing, I did very little and I got my first check from Google for $102.00.
