So, How do you really make money online?
If you want to make money online, that means that you're already aware that this is quite possible. There are many ways to make money on the internet but I would like to share a few tips on how to make money online with Google adsense.
Google adsense is practically a global money making programme that allows online content owners like webmasters, bloggers, writers and entertainers to make money from online advertisement.
In Google adsense, three parties are involved - Google, the advertiser and You.
Google brings together all these parties by charging online advertisers a fee on the adwords programme and then pays you a part of it for being on their network.
Google pays you, once you start participating in the programme, a commission based on CPC(Cost per click) or CPM(Cost per thousand impression).
CPC in the sense that you only earn money when your visitors/audience click on the Google ads shown on your web page while CPM means implies that for impression based ads, you earn money when the ads are shown on your page, even without clicks.
CPM ads are not as common as CPC and the rate can be as high as $10 while CPC ads which are more common can earn as low as $0.10 to $10 per click.
So you see that in order to get started with the Google adsense programme, you need to have the following basic things;

A website

Paste the code on your site

It is not easy to start earning much money from Google adsense if you just started your website or blog and hardly have any traffic. In the first few months and as you add more content, you may be earning as low as $20 a month which will improve exponentially over the next few months depending on the popularity and integrity of your blog posts.
If you can't afford a website or blog at the moment or you are looking for ways to improve your adsense earnings, you can do this by republishing your content or write-ups on hubpages - You will need to change words though so that it does not look like copied content.
Hubpages allows you to make money online by providing you with a platform for writing and publishing your articles. You don't have to start seeking for a domain name or paying for web hosting with hubpages since they provide it for you for free. With hubpages, all you need to do is write and write as much as you can, leaving the rest for hubpages to do.

Why do I recommend Hubpages?
It's quite simple really. Hubpages helps you to make money online because;

It is free to open an account

It allows you to direct more attention on writing good quality articles

Your articles easily gets indexed on Google, Yahoo and Bing search engines

It increases your adsense earnings

Tip: If you already have your own adsense account and want to see how hubpages ca help you make more money online, you should create a url channel for "hubpages.com". Any future earnings that comes from hubpages will then be reflected in your account and you will see how much it has helped you.

I personally had just a couple of posts on hubpages and I was seeing a 30% increase on my earnings but I did not really know where it was coming from for sometime. It was until I added the url channel on my adsense account for hubpages that I knew that Hubpages was fantastic.

Once you get started with Google adsense and you are earning money from it (Even if it's $1 a day) you should be able to know which pages are making money for you and then try to optimize it for more. Dominate your niche in order to increase your Google adsense earnings.

How do you receive you adsense earnings?
Google adsense does not pay everyone at the same time. It holds your money until you've reached the minimum payment threshold of $100 in a given month and then issues your cheque the next month.
Suppose you earn $200 in a month, by the end of next month a cheque will be sent to you. Different countries have varying payment modes. For some countries in Europe, they have the option of receiving money through western union, local currency or international cheque. In the US it can be by cheques or direct deposit to your bank account. For most countries however, it is mostly by means of international cheque which can be in Euro or Dollars according to which currency the user has opted for.
To be able to cash your adsense cheque, you will need to open a domicilliary account if it's not in your local currency else you can just cash it into your savings account.

Delaying your adsense payments
Even if your monthly earnings from adsense exceeds the minimum $100 but your still want Google to delay your payment until it reaches a sizeable sum like $1000 or $2000, you can do this in your account by just setting a payment hold on your account until it reaches your required sum and this will help you cut down expenses on courier and bank charges.

Summary
So in order to make money online with Google adsense, these are the basic things you need to do

Add content to it

Add more articles, write-ups, posts on your website

If you have a blog or want to set up a professionally looking blog, then you can get a good wordpress theme from Themewars

Well you need to tell them to send the cheque to you in Nigeria where you can cash it with a domicilliary account if it is not in naira. You can as well get someone t receive it for you with a us address and later send it to you through western union
