We've all seen these widgets on your iGoogle page, but what a lot of people don't realize is they can be very profitable. I have a friend who is currently recieving an average of $400 a month and rising by creating one of these very simple apps.
Without further ado lets get knee deep into making one of these gadgets. Go to the following link: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/gs.html#GGE. Once there you will see the following web based application google makes available.
Now you can read all of googles documentation but making a widget for google is so easy that I'll be able to tell you in literally one sentence. To make a widget simply add standard HTML where hello world! currently is. Thats it! Want more complex examples than a hello world? The API Examples at the top of this app will repopulate the editor with the more complex code. Hit the preview button to view what your code has actually done. To add this to your iGoogle page hit the add Google button at the bottom. Stay tuned, tommorow I'll talk about how to bind data and include google ads right in your widget.
