google shows me the money When people wonder how hard it is to start a profitable website, the answer is not hard at all. You can use a bunch of FREE Google tools to make it even easier. There are more and less things you can do but I picked the basic 10. Here they are.

1) Your first step is to get a Google Account. The best way of getting one is getting a Gmail Account. Go to Google, look at the left top of the screen and it says Gmail. Click on it and get a Gmail account with Google. Enter a few items and you have an account. Price: FREE

2) Start a Blogger blog. Look at the Google Page. On the left it has a list of things and says More. If you click on More and then click on Blogger which takes you to Blogger Home.

Take a few breaths and thing what you want your website to be about. The best one is something you love or at least enjoy. Give it a name by starting a new blog. Here is a blog called Webmaster Buzz that I created today for this article. Price: FREE

3) Get an Adsense account: After you do some kind of hello world post (here is one I did when i first started blogging) After that, then you want to get an Adsense so you can run ads on your blog.

So go to your Blogger Dashboard and choose templates. Then choose add a Page Element. Choose Adsense Ads. It will allow you to sign up for an account which you should do Price FREE

4) Point your site feed to Google’s Feedburner. Go to your Blogger Dashboard, choose Settings and then Site Feed. You see a link for Feedburner and click on it. Sign up for a feedburner account. Price FREE.

5) Get a Feedburner FeedFlair Complete with Adsense Ads. You create a feed for your Blogger blog by putting in the web address of your blog into the big slot which Feedburner lets you put websites you want to create a feed for. Feedburner will create a feed.

Add all of the extras except podcasting and then you need to optimize your feed. In the optimize menu, choose Smart Feed. If you have an Amazon Affiliate account, plug it in. Then choose FeedFlair, make smart choices like Email This. Subscribe, Save to Del.icio.us, Digg It and Stumble Upon.

Then go to Publicize and active Awareness API. Then chose Ping Shot and activate it including the check boxes.

Then go to the Monetize section and add your Adsense account. After you have added the Adsense account, you need to add FeedFlaire with Adsense to your Blogger Template.

This is perhaps the most complicated of all the steps in our 10 step tutorial but fortunately it is made easier by Feedburner.

Once the checkbox for Display Adsense Ads is checked. at the bottom of the screen it allows you to choose which blogging platform to add your code to. Choose Blogger and make sure that Pop-Ups are allowed on the Feedburner site. A pop-up with instructions on how to add your code to your Blogger template will pop up. Just follow the steps. Be sure to backup your template before you change it.

Leave this template editing screen open in a Window so you can come back to it in Part II to do some more things. Now you have a Feedflaire with your choice of services on the bottom of each post and Adsense ads at the bottom of each of your posts.Price of all this: FREE.

At this point, you can look at my Webmaster Buzz and see all the neat features we have put there so far.
