Hello!
Do you have a personal site, blog or forum?
If you do, how do you use it for making more money online.
I personally have a blog, and I have strugled a lot to get 1000 views, but still I have made only a few cents with ads. I opted for a blog because it seemed for me much more easy to configure it, comparing to a site, or a forum, given taht I am not that good of a programer :P .
Do you have some tips regarding this?
Thank you!

I have all three types of site, in various numbers and places. 
Traffic is a fickle thing: it takes an awfully long time to build up and you have to constantly provide new, useful and interesting content to keep bringing people back. All you can do is keep plugging away at it: blogs generally take 6-9 months of regular updates (not necessarily daily, just regular) before they get decent traffic.

I guess you spend a lot of time online, judging by the number of posts you have made on mylot, and if you have all three types of sites, your day must be really busy.
Do you still have time for anything else? :)
Like school for example.

Scarily enough, I'd finished with school before you were born. 
I'm a full-time carer but what time I have for earning goes into online stuff: it's effectively my part-time job. I still have some time for other things... but not as much as I'd like. Such is life: there are never enough hours in the day for everything.

If you have a website or even just an affiliate link and you want to make money from it, you got to have traffic. Traffic = Money. It's that simple. And you can generate traffic though PPC, email marketing, article marketing, etc.
There is one traffic source that one successful internet marketer has used to take one of his sites from ZERO to 500,000+ visitors in 7 days. And this is done on auto-pilot. However, you need to make monetary investments to access the system.
