How to Calculate Revenue Per Share
1. Determine the company's revenue. Revenue will be one of the top lines on a company's income statement. For example, a company has revenues of $500,000.
2. Calculate the average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Companies disclose outstanding common shares on their statement of stockholders' equity. For example, at the beginning of the year, the company had 500 shares outstanding, then at the end of the year, the company had 550 shares outstanding. The average share outstanding for the year would be 525 shares.
3. Divide the company's revenue for the year by the average common shares outstanding for the year to determine the revenue per share ratio. In the example, $500,000 divided by 525 common shares is $952.38.
How to Make Money From a Hobby Website
1. Start by creating a website that focuses on your hobby. Maintaining a website can be time-consuming, so start small and add content on a regular basis.
2. Sign up for affiliate programs with merchants that sell products related to your hobby. Writing reviews or allowing your users to add comments is a great way to drive traffic and sell merchandise. This method produces much better results than covering your website with banner ads.
3. Write what you know and invite friends who share your hobby to include content of their own. Users come to an informational website to find answers, thus it's your job to provide solutions, be it tips, how-to information or products and services that you believe work best. Content that answers questions and makes users want to explore more of your site is key to success.
4. Beef up your ability to make money by placing contextual advertising on your website. Several search engines have highly targeted ads and share the revenue with you when your users click on the advertisement. See Resources for Google opportunities.
5. Drive traffic to your website by employing search engine-friendly content. Search engines are how people find your website and you want as many visitors as possible. You can also place advertising on search engines by targeting keywords that match topics of interest related to your hobby website.
6. Expand into broader areas of topic or sites dedicated to a separate hobby or field of knowledge. Once you get the knack of maintaining a website, you can begin to grow your network to make more money.

How to Monetize a Website with Chitika eMiniMall Ads
1. Sign up for a Chitika account. Chitika recommends that your website have at least 10,000 monthly impressions in order for product placement to be successful for you. Agree to their terms of service.

3. Sign into your Blogger account. At the top of the account page, click on the tab labeled 'Template.'
4. Locate the line that says 'BlogItemBody.' There will be HTML tags and dollar signs surrounding this line of code. For most blogs, it's about two-thirds of the way down the page. Paste the Chitika code directly under that line.

How to Earn More with AdSense
1. Attract relevant ads by keeping the keywords on your website thorough. For example, if your website is about 'international adoption' and you frequently use the word 'adoption' you may get ads for lots of different types of adoptions, including pet adoptions. It's best to use the complete term, 'international adoption.' This way you will get relevant ads that pertain to your reader's interests.
2. Place your Google AdSense ads strategically near your content. As people are reading your content, they will look at what is nearby, but they will not scroll down the screen to look at an ad.
3. Try blending your ads in with the background on your website. People are sometimes less likely to click on an ad that looks like an ad, but if it looks like a part of your website, they may click. Google AdSense provides different palettes that will allow you to change the format of the ad.
4. Create pages with content that has great value to your reader. The more the reader gets from your page, the more likely he is to click on one of the Google AdSense ads. If your page does not provide new information, then the reader is less likely to click on the ad.
5. Consider placing ads near the top left of your screen. There is research to suggest that this is where people look first when they go to a website.
6. Use the Google AdSense preview tool to see how your ad looks before you put it on your site.

Honest Ways to Make Money Online
Websites or Blogs
If you build several blogs or websites and place AdSense ads on the sites, you will earn money whenever someone clicks on the ads. To make a large amount of money with this method, you need to build a lot of sites. Many people build one or two AdSense sites per week. If you have 100 sites making one dollar per day, you will make $100 a day.To start, create a blog on a commercial blogging site or host your own blog by getting hosting, a domain name, and uploading a WordPress template. Update your blog regularly so visitors will keep coming back. Sign up for an AdSense account and put ads on the site.
Writing
Many webmasters need people to write for their site. Go to webmaster forums such as Digital Point, Warrior Forum or Site Point. Click on 'Marketplace,' or go to the classified ad section and put up your own classified ads. Mention the price you charge to write articles. Respond to people quickly when they answer your ad and deliver the work on time.
Selling Services
Go to job sites or other locations where people post their services for sale and offer your skills, abilities and labor for a fee. Wait for people to contact you asking for your services. To get ideas for services you can offer, look at what other people are already providing for their clients. Don't accept jobs that are beyond your skill level or that you do not reasonably believe you can complete at an acceptable level of quality.
How to Earn Money for a Blog
1. Sell advertising space to business that sell products or services related to your blog topic. Advertising banners vary in size and price. Some blog templates already have space for advertisements to be inserted, while other blogs not equipped with these spaces, required the blogger to create the code to insert the advertisements. Often the buyer will create the graphical ad and provide it to the blogger to be inserted.
2. Sign up with existing advertising programs such as GoogleAds, WidgetBucks and TextLinks. The way each program works varies, but the general idea is that advertising relevant to your blog topic is placed on your blog by the company you are working with (ex. GoogleAds). The author of the blog then gets a sum of money per click or per-thousand impressions. The more viewers you have, the more potential there is to make money.
3. Join an affiliate program which posts products for sale that are related to your blog topic. Each time someone purchases something through that blog, the author gets a portion of the funds.
4. Add items to your blog that are for sale. For example, sell merchandise with your blog's name, create an e-book and charge for it or design a teleseminar or class and see how many people you can get to enroll.
5. Add a donation button to a blog. This will allow readers to donate the amount of money that they designate to go toward the author for their efforts.
