Unfortunately, wealth doesn't come automatically with e-fame. It must be created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you're an internet celebrity, it is definitely easier to build wealth than it would be for someone who is not very popular. But not everyone has great marketing skills. It is not uncommon for the average Joe, who knows a thing or two about making money online, to be much wealthier than a micro-celebrity with a huge following, but no real marketing knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are countless ways to make money online, and you're going to have to decide which tactic is right for you. Here are a few ideas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Monetize your website&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sell files- mp3's, videos, ebooks, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sell your creations- books, clothing, etc, and mail them&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use your status to get public speaking/performance gigs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ask for donations &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Personally, I am more experienced in website monetization than any of the other money-making strategies I've listed here (aside from musical performance), and that also happens to be one of the simplest tactics for creating wealth, because all that is required is that you place some code on your website, and maintain it, like you're already doing. There isn't much else to worry about, and you can easily do this in addition to any other ideas you may have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to go this route, here are a few articles you may be interested in (Keep in mind, these articles are geared toward bloggers, but any website owner can put this info to use.):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.idiotsguidetoblogging.com/2008/05/googleadsense.html" target="_blank"&gt;5 Tricks to Earning With Google AdSense&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.idiotsguidetoblogging.com/2008/06/adsense-tips.html" target="_blank"&gt;More AdSense Tips for Bloggers&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.idiotsguidetoblogging.com/2008/09/how-to-increase.html" target="_blank"&gt;How to Increase Your Page Views and Profit With CPM Advertising &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.idiotsguidetoblogging.com/2008/07/googleadsense.html" target="_blank"&gt;Why Google AdSense May Not Be Suitable for Your Blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.idiotsguidetoblogging.com/2008/04/income-streams.html" target="_blank"&gt;Make More Money With Multiple Income Streams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.idiotsguidetoblogging.com/2008/04/make-money.html" target="_blank"&gt;12 Reasons Why Most Bloggers Don't Make Much Money Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.idiotsguidetoblogging.com/2008/02/what-every-blog.html" target="_blank"&gt;What Every Blogger Should Know About Making Money Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4591447225123651010-2994118597746419829?l=internet-famous.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://internet-famous.blogspot.com/feeds/2994118597746419829/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://internet-famous.blogspot.com/2008/12/famous-but-poor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4591447225123651010/posts/default/2994118597746419829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4591447225123651010/posts/default/2994118597746419829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://internet-famous.blogspot.com/2008/12/famous-but-poor.html' title='Famous, But Poor'/><author><name>Raivyn</name><email>Raivyn85@yahoo.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='16722150819099728699'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry>
