So, all you need is your own website. When you got it you are on your right way. Than go on website google.com and down you can find Advertsing Programs. Click on it. Than choose Google AdSense.
You can register your profile with all informations they want and also address of your website what is most important. Than continue with tips on monitor. When your account will be accepted and all will work just log in and create campaign. More about registration is that they will send you a letter with code which you have to add on they website because when you will not your account will not be activated!
When you will create campaign they will give you Google code which you will only place on your website and when people will click on it you will have great profit. But remember, you can not click on your own ads on your website because it will only make Google to block your account (as happened to me one time :D ), so be serious.
You got there also so many helping files so I think you will understand all of it and it will be really usable for you as was first time also for me. It is really easy way to make great money on the internet using just two things and theay are your website and Google, probrably you have to have a internet connection. For payout you can choose check or PayPal.
