Knowing HTML and CSS is VERY ESSENTIAL on our quest to make some $$$. Once you finish you getting your First Dollars, I will be putting up tutorials on how to build websites and blogs and make money by advertising on it or selling it. If you want to be a good blogger or webmaster, you MUST know HTML and CSS.

HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) is the building blocks of websites. HTML is a language which your browser understands and displays pages. This is the first thing you should be learning. With HTML you will be able to make some simple web pages. My favourite HTML tutorials are at:

• http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp
• http://html.net/tutorials/html/

There is new HTML and old HTML. In old HTML, all the text styles would be defined within <>. E.g: <b> I’m Bold </b>. However, this is quite tedious in most circumstances. Suppose you are mking are 50 page website and you would be needing some bold text in each page, it is quite time-consuming to type it. Bold syntax is easy,but what if you had to change font color, type, size, etc? And if later you want to change the font type, you will have to open and edit all the 50 pages. For this, the people at Brain Trust (kiddin) sat around and though of a solution - CSS. BTW, the new HTML is known as XHTML.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) is a similar language which is understood by browsers. But CSS can contain only style definitions i.e how the text is to be displayed and not the text itself. So you must be asking, how the hell does CSS save time Feroze ? CSS files are ussually linked to html files with a command <link rel”stylesheet” href=”style.css”>. So you can link all your 50 pages to one style sheet. This way, if you want to change the way a specified text looks on 50 pages, you can just open your CSS file and edit it. Voila! your changes will be reflected in all the pages. I can just keep going on. I have given you links to my favourite CSS tutorials, give it a go :

• http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp
• http://www.html.net/tutorials/css/

I suggest you start learning these two languages from today onwards. You can do it along with writing articles or however you are earning your first dollars. Remember, you have to jump head on. You cannot sit and simply watch, read and study these two. open your notepad and browser and type all codes yourself instead of just copying it from the tutorial site.

I’m planning to bring in a new section “Learning Phase”. It will contain posts on certain tools, scripting languages, website system (CMS), methods, etc which are very essential for making more money, once you have your seed cash.

Basically, once you get your first $50 from the techniques in “First Dollars”, you can start making websites, freelancing, etc by which you are likely to make money faster. You can ofcourse, also be using the First Dollars technique.

To make websites, freelance, etc, you will require certain skills like thorough knowledge of XHTML, CSS, average understanding of PHP, Javascript, Photoshop. You will also be required to learn about CMS like Joomla and Wordpress and how to operate them. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, chill, I’ll be explaining all this in detail under this section.

Looking forward to writing posts on “Learning Phase”.

If you are into sports, music, gaming, finance, etc, forum posting would be a great way for you to make some cash. You don’t need extremely good in English. But I must warn you that the payment for forum posting is comparatively lower than that of article writing. If you don’t get any other job and you have some free time for the week, forum posting would appear quite lucrative.

Webmasters create forums. Forums are websites to facilitate discussion. At first, there will be few users and not many people would be talking or posting. So the webmasters will hire forum posters to start some discussion, get new members, etc. I have given an example of how most forums look.

You can find forum posting jobs at Digital Point under the “Content Creation” section (Click here). There would be a post written something like “[WTH] Forum poster for Halu Baleu”. There is likely to be quite a few jobs anytime.

There will be a small range of forums related to topics to choose from. I suggest that you choose a job whose topic interests you, and you know a lot about it. Usually the rate will be fixed, around $0.15 per post. You can just reply there and hopefully, you will get the job. Sometimes, if the rate is not given and the client asks you to quote your price, I suggest you ask for around $0.13 per post and you can later increase your price if the client is happy with your posts.

If you get a topic you are interested in, as recommended, you are likely to enjoy posting on the forum. So you will never feel it as a work or chore, you can just do it as a hobby and you get paid :).It would be like chatting with your buddy, and you would get paid for it.

I would be more than happy to clarify any of your questions.

One of the fastest ways to make money online without any technical knowledge is by writing articles. If you have a decent English vocabulary and can write fluently, you can make money quite fast.

Webmasters need fresh and ORIGINAL content and articles for their website. If they copied articles, no one would come to their site. Also, they wouldn’t been shown in Google search results, which is very bad and harmful for them. Many wouldn’t have the time to sit and write articles. So they hire people to write articles for them.

All you would need for this is a decent text editor (like MS Word), a good spell and grammatical error checker (inbuilt in MS Word) and lots of motivation.

There are certain requirements to make money online. They are:

1. Good Username: This is quite an important aspect. In the Internet, people will know you mostly by your username. Therefore it is essential to coin a good one. I personally suggest that you use your name or something slightly deviated. Try to keep the name formal. Do not have usernames like Dragon Eater, JohnHaX0r,etc. i suggest something like John87,Mr.John, John Smith,etc.

2. An email ID: I advice you to get a new email ID for professional purposes. I suggest you go sign up for a Gmail ID. Try to have your gmail ID same as your Username.

3. A PayPal account: PayPal is the leading online payment gateway. It is the most widely used method to send money over the internet. If you are getting paid by someone for your services, its likely to be through PayPal.

Head to PayPal.com and sign up for a personal account. If you want to get the money you make as hard cash, you’ll have to put the correct details for your name and address. Unless you have a bank account AND you are older than 18 years, it is not allowed to own an account. In this case, you can sign up using a parent’s name. I suggest you make your PayPal account under the parents name who earns lesser (likely to be your mom) as you wouldn’t have to pay a higer tax rate (yes, you HAVE to pay tax on the money you earn online).
