How to Make Money If You Are a Disabled Person
Incentives for Companies to Hire People With Disabilities
Federal incentives and protections ensure that people with disabilities have access to a wide range of employment. Federal tax incentives include a business tax break, an architectural and transportation tax credit, a small business tax credit and a work opportunity tax credit for those businesses that hire employees with disabilities and comply with federal workplace accessibility guidelines. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission prohibits companies under the jurisdiction of the Americans with Disabilities Act from treating disabled employees unfairly, such as firing them, neglecting to promote them or harassing them because of their handicap.
Working from Home
Many disabled people find working from home easier than traveling to an office, and the Internet allows more and more people with disabilities to earn a living from home. Most at-home jobs require a basic degree of computer literacy and self-discipline. According to Disabled World, disabled people can work from home as medical transcription employees, call center and customer service representatives, affiliate marketers who sell other people's goods and mystery shoppers; alternatively, they can sell their own items on auction sites.
Resources
Many resources help disabled people who are in the job market. The website Disability.gov offers, at the time of publication, more than 14,000 resources from both the local and federal government, as well as academic institutions, and covers many topics of interest for disabled people including employment. You can conduct searches on a state or national level and find information about job fairs, job openings for those with disabilities and jobs for veterans who have sustained injuries.
Federal Employment
While many disabled people work in the private sector, federal jobs employ a larger number of handicapped Americans. Since the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Executive Order 13078, government jobs have made conscious efforts to hire qualified applicants with disabilities to contribute to the diversity of the workforce. Since 1980, disabled people have comprised 7 percent of the civilian federal workforce, and they work across all types of government jobs.
Google Adsense for Beginners
Signing Up
To start using Google Adsense, go to the program's home page and log in with a valid Google or Gmail account. If you do not have a Google account, you will have to set one up and then go back to the Adsense page. When you click on the 'Sign Up' link, you will be directed to the Google Adsense application form. Here you will have to enter your website's URL and agree to the Adsense terms of use, then fill out the sections of the form involving your personal information and hit the 'Submit' button at the bottom. Your application submission will be sent to Google, and the Adsense team will examine your website to determine if it is suitable for Google advertisements. After a few days, you should hear back from Google about the status of your application. If you are accepted into the program, the confirmation email will explain how to log in to Adsense and begin using the program.
Getting Ads
Once you have been accepted to the Google Adsense program, you can start adding ads to your Web pages and earning revenue. First, log in to the Adsense site, go to the 'Adsense Setup' tab at the top of the window and then click on the 'Get Ads' link. Go through the ad creation wizard, choosing what size and color of advertisement you want to put on your website. At the end of the ad creation wizard, you will see a large text box with a long string of HTML code inside of it. Copy all of the text and paste it into the code of one of your Web pages. Remember to paste the Adsense code in between the '
' tags, or otherwise the ads will not be displayed properly. If you want to add multiple ads to your website, you can always go back and run the ad creation wizard again.
Receiving Payments
After you have successfully added the Adsense code into one of your Web pages, you should save the content and upload it to your Web server. When visitors go to your website, a rectangle with advertisements sponsored by Google will appear. The Adsense code scans the content of your Web page and posts advertisements that are related to it. Every time someone visits your website or clicks on one of the advertisements, the action is recorded by Google's servers and you are given credit. The amount of credit you receive for a page view or a click is dependent on the advertisements involved. You can check your revenue total at any time by logging in to the Adsense homepage and viewing your account information. At the end of each month, your earnings are added up and the revenue is transferred to a bank account of your choice.

How to Make Money Fast Without a Social Security Card
1. Provide personal services in your neighborhood. There are a variety of ways that you can make money fast by doing things such as babysitting, tutoring students, running errands, mowing lawns, house cleaning and dog walking. Be sure to check with all of your family members, friends and neighbors to find out if they could use your services; and don't forget to inform them of your prices.
2. Gather your old items and have a yard sale. Look around your house for things that you no longer use and try to sell them. You are bound to have some old clothes, house decorations or appliances that you can sell for a reasonable price. Don't forget to create some fliers and post them around your neighborhood to let everyone know about your yard sale. You may even choose to place an advertisement in your local newspaper, in order to reach more people.
3. Visit a local pawn shop. Many people go to pawn shops to get fast money for their personal items. Nowadays, you can practically pawn just about anything of value, such as jewelry, electronics, tools, leather jackets and purses. In order to pawn something, you will need to show the pawnbroker a valid photo ID (like a driver's license), but you certainly do not need to have a social security card.
4. Sell your things online. Take some photos of your personal items and try to sell them on sites such as eBay and Craigslist. Be sure to post high-quality pictures and include a detailed description of the product(s) that you are trying to sell. Using the Internet to sell your personal items is a rather effective way to earn a significant amount of money in a short amount of time.
5. Create a blog to make some extra money. If you enjoy sharing your thoughts and feelings with others and you are somewhat computer savvy, perhaps you should try blogging as a way to generate some extra cash. You can create a free blog through 'Blogger,' and you earn money by placing Google ads on your page. Please note that you will need to sign up for a free Google AdSense account in order to earn money through your blog.
How to Set up AdSense for YouTube
1. Read the YouTube Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. Make sure that your account is fully compliant with these guidelines. Any breach of these terms or guidelines may jeopardize your application.

3. Create a YouTube account, if you have not done so already. Upload several original videos to your YouTube account.
4. Encourage people to watch and share your videos. You'll need thousands of unique views before YouTube will accept your application. Watch the viewer counter on the bottom right of your videos.

6. Apply to the YouTube Partnership Program when you meet their eligibility requirements. When your application is accepted, apply to YouTube's revenue sharing program.
