Do Your Research

Making money with Google Adsense is a very simple job that many people can master without much experience. Anyone can create a free blog and write articles, so anyone can effectively make money with Adsense. But the amount of money that can be made can vary greatly. Doing research before starting is highly recommended.

How it Works

First, I’d like to explain how you will actually be making money with Google Adsense. Basically, you will be writing articles about a certain topic, and getting paid for showing ads within the articles. Google will take care of the ad serving, all you have to worry about it creating original content, and getting visitors to come to your site. The rest should take care of itself.

Find a Topic

Next, you must find a topic that you can write about. It should be a vague topic that you can write more specific articles about. To start making money with Google Adsense, you really need to have a large collection of very specific articles. This is much better than having a website that is very vague. It is also easier to promote specific articles.

Let’s say that you want to write about birthday parties. Your blog could be called something like “Birthday Party Tips” or something similar. This is a good topic because you can write many more specific articles, such as “Children birthday party ideas”, and “birthday cake recipes”. The possibilities are endless.

Using Blogger

Blogger is a free blogging platform that is also owned by Google. If you don’t have the money to spend on a website, then this is probably your best option. Just go to Blogger.com, and use your Google account to sign in. Now you can create a free blog. Remember to pick a blog with a title that tells what the main idea of the site is about. Leave the specific phrases to your articles, or “posts”.

You should try to update your blog with a new article at least twice a week. Make sure that each article is at least 300 words long, and all original content. You may also benefit by reading up on some search engine optimization, or “SEO” tips.

Promoting Your Blog

Here comes the hardest part, promotion. You will never get off the ground making money with Adsense if you can’t get any visitors to your site. You need to make your site rank in the search engines in order to get traffic. This is a never ending task, but it will pay off greatly once you have your site ranked well. I could literally write a book on how to promote your site, but this is something that just takes time to learn. In the most basic terms, you need to have links to your site from as many other sites as possible. Post on forums, comment on blogs, etc… You may be interested in trying out an SEO service that will promote your site for you, but usually these services are not worth it.

To start making money with Google, you first need to create a website. I recommend using Blogger to create a blog. You can blog about anything that interests you. It can be political, financial, sports based… anything you want to blog about. The key is to pick a topic that you will be able to blog about at least 3 times per week. Once you have a topic, go to Blogger.com and create a blog. You will now be able to write your first post. The trick here is to try and pick a few keywords that you think will get searched for a lot, and try to include those in your writing. This is called SEO, or search engine optimization. This is the fundamental way to make money with Google.

Once you have a blog created, install the Adsense widget. This is located in the layout section of Blogger. When you enable this widget, and have an Adsense account, Adsense ads will automatically be placed on your blog. If anyone clicks on these ads, you will be paid! You can expect to get anywhere from $0.10 to $1 per click on most ads and keywords.

Now, you have a blog, you have ads on it, but no one has even read this blog yet! What do you do? How can you start making money with Google if you never get any traffic to your website? That’s the key. You need traffic now. The easiest way to get traffic is by blogging as much as you can. Daily would be great. You can also use social bookmarking websites to get backlinks to your blog, which in turn, will increase its position in the Search engines. This is a more advanced technique though, so for now, you need to just focus on blogging on good topics.
