Wouldn't it be great if you could make a bunch of money for fifteen minutes of work? Of course it would - but that's impossible.

Isn't it?

Lots of would-be millionaires have experimented with pay-per-click ads on their personal or business web sites. Usually, the small returns they receive are discouraging - and they let the original plan fall by the wayside with all of the other "failed" moneymakers. There is still a huge market for pay-per-click ads, however; with the right plan, anyone can cash in on the millions of dollars that big-name companies are dishing out!

The key to using pay-per-click ads to make some extra cash isn't a secret that will cost you $29.95 to buy from an internet hawker, though.

Google's average cost per click for the term "kids crafts" is $1.37, so if you've got that term on your page a few times, you'll be cashing in on some of the revenue that the targeted ads generate.

It's a good idea to expand your horizons, too. On your children's crafts site, it's reasonable to assume that moms and dads may be interested in saving money for their child's college education. If you dedicate a page to money-saving tips, that page will contain ads relevant to it's content. Google's average cost per click for the term "college savings account" is $13.28 - imagine your cut of that! If you live in California, even better: "California 529 savings plan" rings in at a
