New Kid in Town

From the past few months I've been reading on articles which I stumbled upon in the Internet. One of which is how I can make money online. Seeing a variety of methods of doing it, not all of them seemed worthwhile, or legit that is. But for the sake of experiencing it, here I am! :)
First in line that I wanted to try is Google Adsense from the fact that I've read different SUCCESSful stories regarding it. Some earn quite big bucks from it which I saw from their proud screenshots of the checks they've earned. My mind went, "I want to experience that too, I could really use that extra money I would earn through it.". But just like earning money offline, it could be a long road. But i'm hoping for the best. ;)
