How To Make $10,000 Per Month With Google AdSense

What is: Passive income?
It is the kind of income that comes from a source that requires little effort on your side and which you get on a regular basis (monthly, quarterly, etc). These could be Rents, bank interest, or a royalty from a published book. But in the online world, it could also be an Adsense income from your Website or Blog that you can also collect on a regular basis. When a Blog is established, all you need to do is maintain the traffic by adding quality content and keep giving value to your site.
How to start earning money from Adsense:
Many people think that earning from Adsense more than $100, $200 or even $500 per day is impossible because they look at their own numbers and they get discouraged by the miserable 10 bucks that they receive per month for their blogs.
However, there are thousands of Bloggers that are achieving the above numbers and they earn from $2000 to $10,000 per month, or even more.  How do they get do these numbers with Adsense?  Their secret is: determination, effort, blog planning,  passion for their niche, and patience (specially at the beginning).
Before explaining how to earn 10,000$ per month, let’s revise all the definitions involved in the earning calculations so you have a better understanding of the procedure.
AdSense:  It is an affiliate program created by Google that let us use their ads in our blog and earn money when people click on them. They are contextual ads that are related to the content of your site. For example: if your site relates to finance, your ads will show finance related products or services. How does it work? Google Adsense acts like an intermediate between the advertiser and the publisher, and they profit from the difference(pays less to publishers than what they charge the advertisers).
The click-through rate of an advertisement is defined as the number of clicks on an ad divided by the number of times the ad is shown (impressions), expressed as a percentage.[2][3][4][5][6][7] For example, if a banner ad is delivered 100 times (100 impressions) and receives one click, then the click-through rate for the advertisement would be 1%.
 CTR = {Clicks \over Impressions}
Source: wikipedia
Example: Consider that you get 2 clicks of 1000 impressions.  The CTR calculation: 2 clicks/1000 impressions= 0.02 = 2%.
Cost Per Click (CPC): A website that uses CPCs would bill by the number of times a visitor clicks on a banner instead of by the number of impressions. Cost per click is often used when advertisers have a set daily budget. When the advertiser’s budget is hit, the ad is removed from the rotation for the remainder of the period.
Investopedia explains ‘Cost Per Click – CPC’:  For example, a website that has a CPC rate of $0.10 and provides 1,000 click-throughs would bill $100 ($0.10 x 1000).

CPM: CPM means “Cost Per 1000 Impressions.”

Now let’s start to make $10,000 Every Month With Google AdSense…
Suppose your CTR is 1% and your CPC is $0.3 (this CPC is not difficult to meet unless your niche has no advertisers such as arcade, recipes, Free Music Downloads, wallpapers. Stay away from these niches and opt for finance, marketing, insurance, health, etc). You can change these parameters with your own so your calculations are more accurate.
  • In order to make $10,000 per month, we need $333.33 per day.
  • We need to get to $333.33 per day. Consider you receive 100,000/day Page Views,  1000 Clicks a day with 1% CTR. 0.3 CPC. Let’s do the math:1000 clicks x 0.3$  x 30 days = 9000$ Really close!!!
  • In order to Get 100,000 Page Views we need to make at least 1,000 awesome Blog articles to attract at least 100 page views / post per day.
  • You will also earn from the CPM impressions. Regardless of the niche, the average CPM earning is $1 per 1,000 impressions. You can make $100 per day easily from those  100,000 page views per day. $100 per day means another $3000 per month.
  • Other alternatives to get more income: Clickbank products, BuysellAds, and other affiliate products you may find in other affiliate networks such as warriorforum(related to marketing), comissionjuction, etc. You may get another $100 per day with each of these programs easily with the kind of traffic we are getting.
Let’s now add every earning and put them altogether:
$300 Adsense cpc +
$100   Adsense CPM +
$100 Buysellads +
$100 from clickbank +
$100 other affiliate program(Warriorplus, jvzoo, commissionjunction)
= $ 500 per day x 30 Days
$ 15,000 Per Month
Is this not enough for you? Well, many bloggers are earning this much or even more, but they know that to get results they need to work hard, stay focused and be passionate about what they are writing about.
To conclude:
The results we are showing in this article can be achieved if you are in a competitive niche with a CPC of $0.3 and if you make 1,000 great articles in 2-3 years. Consider that you can make $15,000 with 100,000 Page views per day, so to make $10,000 you need 50% less Page views per day!

How To Earn $100 Per Day With Google AdSense, And How Much Traffic You Need

How To Earn $100 Per Day With Google AdSense, And How Much Traffic You Need
Earning $100, $200 or even $300 per day with Google AdSense is not an impossible job.
Many bloggers and website owners are doing it, and you are not an exception. The only thing you need is better planning and execution, hard work, determination and passion for blogging about your topic or niche.
Before diving into the exact process, let’s know some terminology for better understanding of Google AdSense and how you can generate more revenue by selling your ad inventories on your blog.
What Is AdSense: It’s a monetization program by Google for online content from websites, mobile sites, and site search results with relevant and engaging ads.
CTR : Your ad Click-through Rate is the number of ad clicks divided by the number of individual ad impressions. Suppose you are showing 3 AdSense ads on every page, your 1 page view is equal to 3 ad impressions.
CTR = Clicks / Ad Impressions X 100
Suppose, you get 5 clicks out of 500 ad impressions, your CTR would be 1% (5/500X100).
CPC : Cost-Per-Click is the revenue you earn each time a visitor clicks on your ad. CPC is usually determined by the advertisers. In some competitive niches likefinance, marketing, online products etc. advertisers may be willing to pay more per click than others.
CPM: CPM means “Cost Per 1000 Impressions.”
Sometimes advertisers opt for CPM ads instead of CPC and set their price for 1000 ad impressions. And they pay each time their ads appear on any website.

Let’s Make $100 Everyday With Google AdSense, Right?

For the convenience of calculation we assume that – You serve your AdSense ads on your blog or website, irrespective of showing your ads on your mobile site and added the site search results with AdSense.
Your CTR is 1% and your average CPC is $0.25. It’s quite achievable and lots of bloggers usually get it. We also assume that Page View = Ad Impression for easy calculation. You can manipulate the parameters on your own for desired results.
  • To make $100 everyday you need 40,000 Page Views/day Or, 400 Clicks a day @ 1% CTR and $0.25 CPC. For 40,000 Page Views you have to produce 500 awesome articles or blog posts which attract at least 80 or more page views/article everyday.
  • Apart from CPC, you will also earn from your CPM ad impressions. Irrespective of any niche, the average CPM earning is $1 to $1.5 per 1,000 impressions. You can make $40 to $60 per day easily from 40,000 page views.
  • You can also sell your Ad space directly or via BuySellAds.com and generate $6,000 Per Month on an average from 40,000 page views. Check out how webmasters and bloggers are making $6,000 to $8,000 Per Month from BuySellAds with forty thousand page views per day. So your daily earning will be $200 (6000/30=200).
  • A niche blog with high quality articles converts very well with affiliate marketing. You can easily earn $40 to $80/day from affiliate selling with correct implementation and execution.
Now your total earning per day is $100 + $40 + $200 +$40 = $380 from CPC, CPM, Direct Ad Sell, Affiliate Marketing for 40,000 page views per day. I’ve taken the lowest possible earnings from all the 4 sources.
$380 per day means $11,400 per month (380X30= 11,400) Or, $136,800 per year(11,400X12=136,800). Isn’t it a whooping amount to lead a lavish life?
Which is well above your desired earning of $100 per day from Google AdSense, right? 1000s of people are making money by writing articles, and you can also do it. The only thing I want to say is “Be Focused!”
P.S. The above results can be possible if you produce at least 200 to 250 great articles or blog posts per year for 2 years. So how much traffic you actually need to make $100 per day from Google AdSense – It’s way less than 40,000 Page Views Per Day!

How to A/B Test AdSense Ad Unit From AdSense Dashboard

   No comments     
categories: 
In the past, we have talked about A/B testing and undoubtedly it’s one of the web standards to find high performing pages, ad units, words, designs and many more.  There are many case-studies available which shows what kind of design or call to action works, but don’t forget that every website is different and as a blogger it’s our job to run A/B test on our blog. Now when it comes to AdSense, one of the biggest challenges and questions we have in our mind are:
  • Which Ad format works better: Text or image?
  • Should we use the border with our AdSense ad units or not?
  • And similar many more questions, where answers are different for every website.
And, the best way to find the answer is by running split testing. That means, running different colour, style variation of ad unit to find bets performing variation.

AdSense A/B testing let you find best ad unit:

Few days back, AdSense added a default feature in AdSense dashboard which will let any publisher to run A/b testing on their ad unit without changing any code. This new feature can be used for existing Ad units or for new ad units you are creating. With this feature, you can run different of the same ad unit and can find which ad unit it performing the best. Let me explain you how it works:
Login to your AdSense Dashboard and click on My Ads. Under Myads, click on Experiment > New experiment. Now give your experiment a name, and add notes about what you are testing. Using the drop-down you can select your previously created ad unit to run the test.
AdSense A:b Testing
Now under variation tab, you can optimise the colour, border, select only image or image+ text variation. In short you are creating an alternate variation of same ad unit size, and testing it to find which one will make money for you.
Adsense split testing
In terms of split testing, you can specify if you want AdSense to optimise the traffic split, or you can custom select split testing for both the variation. Just uncheck the box in front of Traffic split and use the slider to set split testing. I would recommend you to let AdSense optimise the split testing or if you are trying custom split testing, keep it 50:50 to get more accurate result. Once everything is set, click on Start experiment and your AdSense A/B testing will start.  You can find more details about AdSense split teasing over here, and you can learn about how you can find which ad variation is performing better.
If AdSense is your main source of blog income, I highly recommend you to experiment to find the best ad variation for your blog. Do remember, what works for me might not work for you, and what works for, might not work for you. So it’s better to run your test, and find out what Ad unit and colours will give you the best AdSense results. Selecting the right variation will help you to get more CTRand hence more money from Adsense for the same ad unit.
If you are looking for A/B test different ad size, I would recommend you to take advantage of AdRotate plugin, and run different ad units at the same spot to findwhich ad size is best for your blog. Don’t forget to check out this post by Nishant, where he shared some easy to implement tips to improve your AdSense earning with existing traffic. Do share your experiment results and share this article with your other friends who are using AdSense to monetize their blog.

As a blogger you have surely heard of theAdSense program from Google, one of the best contextual advertisement programs available.
In this post, I will demonstrate how you can create an AdSense account for your website.
There are many AdSense alternatives available, but no matter what network you try, you will likely find that Adsense is the best. If you have some marketing skills, however, you may also want to look into affiliate marketing.  My post on Affiliate vs AdSense will give you my personal insights on both networks.
Guide To Create Adsense Account
When I started blogging, “Adsense” was a foreign concept to me. When I initially signed up for Adsense, I needed help from my friends, and I still was not sure I was doing everything right.
For beginners who are not familiar with Adsense, it is an advertisement program for publishers started by Google (See Wiki details), wherein contextual ads are placed on your blog, and you get paid when someone clicks on these ads.
In this blog post I present an essential guide for beginners who are not sure how to apply for Adsense.
There are few requirements which you must meet before you can apply for Adsense. First, of course, you need to have a website. You also must be above the age of 18, otherwise you will need to apply using the name of a parent or guardian who gives you permission to do so.
Watch this video to understand what your blog needs to have in place before you apply for AdSense:

Steps to create an Adsense account:

Adsense has recently changed the account approval process to include the following steps:
  • Sign up for Adsense
  • Add Adsense ads to your blog
  • Wait while your account is reviewed and either accepted or rejected
Although the new AdSense account approval process is quite lengthy, the process will ultimately help us to maintain the quality of Adsense for all users.
It is also important to make sure your blog or website is abiding by AdSense policies before applying.
Also, be sure to read the terms and conditions mentioned on the signup page to learn more about AdSense.
Following are the steps you need to take to sign up for Adsense:

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an AdSense Account:

First, go to the Signup page for AdSense, and you will see an option to create a new Google account, or you can choose to use your existing Google account. If you have a domain-specific email address, I suggest you use that to sign up for your AdSense account.  Otherwise, use your existing gmail address.
Note:  To date I have seen many Shouters finding greater success using domain-specific email addresses.
Website Details:
Create AdSense account
This form is straight-forward, as you simply need to enter your website address and select the content language.
For the website URL use your blog address, and make sure to add it without HTTP://
Adsense contact information:
Adsense contact information
This is the most important part, and I remember making a couple of mistakes while signing up which I hope to prevent you from making with the instructions in this guide.
The “payee name” is very important. Make sure to use the same name under which you have a bank account, as Adsense will be sending you a check or EFT payment under that name. If you make a mistake here, changing the payee name of your account would be difficult in many countries including India. Here is the list of countries which are not allowed to change the payee name after signing up.So ensure your bank account name and payee name are exactly the same.
Next add your contact information and fill in the other details.
Accept Adsense policies:
adsense-policies
Read the AdSense policies and put a checkmark in all three boxes.
Once done, click on “submit”, and on the next page you can review your details. Make sure that all the details are accurate and up to date.
Signing up with your email account:
Adsense-Email-address
You can use your current email address to sign up, or you can create a new gmail ID for Adsense. For fast approval, I would suggest you to use ZohoMail, and create a free domain-specific email address.
In my case, when I tried to sign up using a generic gmail address, I was rejected four times.  However, when I later applied using a domain-specific email address, I got instant Adsense approval.
Submit Adsense Tax Information
Once you have signed up for Adsense, you need to add AdSense codes to your blog. The Adsense team will review your application again after you add the codes, and your account will be activated and you will be sent an Adsense Pin. All of this takes approximately   1-2 months depending upon your geographical location.
Once everything is set up, in order to get paid from Adsense you need to complete two further steps:
  • Submit your tax information
  • Enter your pin
You will also need to submit a tax form, dependingon how you are entitled to do business. For certification of No U.S. activities, and for Indian Adsense publishers, you can fill in this tax information:
Indian Publisher Tax Info Adsense

AdSense Pin:

You will receive an AdSense Pin by mail once you reach the threshold of $10 with your AdSense account. You need to add the pin to your Adsense account. You will start receiving payment once your AdSense account reaches the $100 threshold.
You should read this guide to learn about enabling direct bank payment for your AdSense account.

Even before I tell you something about Google AdSense earnings and you learn in this tutorial about tips & tricks on how you can make tons of money from AdSense, I would like to commit if there is any easiest money making option on internet, then its AdSense. I have tried almost all the online businesses and yes I made money from many of them but if there is anything which can give you so much money with ease then its Google AdSense.
Yes, there isadsense-earning-secrets unlimited potential to make money from Google AdSense but still there are many people in India and worldwide who does not have any idea on how to make money from AdSense.
Not only this, there are people (I don’t know if they are living in rock) who have not heard of the this word “AdSense”. So I am going to write this easiest AdSense tutorial, keeping those people in mind.
If you are interested to know more about me & my earning, you can read, how I started online jobs journey.

So What is Google AdSense?

In a very simple term, Google AdSense is an online advertising system run by Google. Its an opposite application of Google AdWords where advertiser from all over the world signup to create and show their ads on Google and its publisher sites (like my sites).
Google places those ads on its search engine and millions of publishers sites who applied for Google AdSense. Google does not charge anything to display these ads but only when someone clicks the ad.
So if I applied for Google AdSense and Google shows its advertisers ads on my website then I will get paid for each and every click a visitor clicks on AdSense ads on my website. I have already given more details to understand “What is Google AdSense?” in my earlier article so I recommend you to read that basics of AdSense. This article will clear your concept about AdSense.
And now before we proceed further, I would like to tell you 3 myths about AdSense so you can very well decide whether to read this full article or leave from here.

Myth 1

Many people I talk to about AdSense and when I explain them in simple words that I have a website, people visit my site and when they click on the Adsense ads on my site, I make money. Almost all people say – “But I never clicked on any such ads and I think nobody clicks”. Are you one of them? Then how millions of people around the world are making 1000s of dollars.

Truth & Potential

Just read the fact here from Google – “Google’s partner sites generated revenues, through AdSense programs, of $3.44 billion, or 30% of total revenues, in the fourth quarter of 2012.” Reference –http://investor.google.com/earnings/2012/Q4_google_earnings.htmland Google distributes shares 68% of the income with its publishers (people like me).
It means Google annual revenue from AdSense is $13.76 Billion (INR 75,000 Crore) and he paid $9.35 billion (INR 51,000 Crore) to its publishers. So what you think of this amazing figure. Who is taking earning how much from this $6.8 billions. And yes, do you want some share from this 51,000 Crore??
To make you more convinced on the potential just download here one of latest article titled as “Google Made Me Rich”, published in Economic Times on 22nd September 2011. Download thishere from Labnol.org. This article shows how much money people like Amit Agarwal, Amit Bhawani and many others from India are earning from Google AdSense.

Myth 2

You need to have web designing knowledge and you must have good technical knowledge. You must have good writing skills etc.

Truth

Absolutely not. Yes, knowing them keeps an added advantage but that is not required. What needed is only your desire to make money. Although there are hundreds of such example I can show you but I am a live example for you.
I am making money from AdSense from the last 5 years and I have number of blogs but I neither have any web designing knowledge nor any writing skills.
Still I don’t know anything about PHP, HTML or anything in web designing. And yes, I commit,  if you ask me to write even 1 sentence 4-5 years back, I could not be able to write. I will tell you how this is possible to earn lots of money from AdSense even if you don’t have much knowledge about these things.

Myth 3

This myth makes me irritating. When people (even some highly educated) comments like “I don’t think people make any money online”. There is only scams on internet and no opportunity.

Truth

I just ask them either don’t comment anything if you don’t know or get educated and then comment. Scamcomes only after opportunity. AdSense, Clickbank, CJ.com, Amazon, Fiverr, ELance,, blogging and hundreds of best money making opportunities available that its impossible to comment like this but still without any knowledge or hearing some useless stories from their near and dear, they comment like this. So just get educated.
So enough, now let’s understand how to make big AdSense earnings-

So How To Begin With AdSense?

You need to have one website or a blog or a free blog to begin with AdSense. Yes, absolutely true. That is the only thing Google demands to apply for its program. And not only this, there must be some visitors who visit your site on daily basis.
All these things looks difficult to listen but believe me 5 years back when it was bit difficult to create a site, I was able to create one and use this for AdSense but now things has changed a lot. With the help of WordPress, creating a blog is like a child’s play.
With in next 1 hr, your blog could be ready to publish contents. There are number of other free options as well to create a site and start Google AdSense earnings. Just check them one by one:

Blogger.com for AdSense Earning

Blogger.com is a free service by Google where you can create your free blog. As the service is by Google, you can directly apply for AdSense and place AdSense ads on your blog from your blogger account itself. Learn more about this from blogger’s tour. Check this YouTube video to learn how easy is to create a blog on Blogger.com. Check this video here Youtu.be/k5Q5kmTGeqY.
Once you create a blogger blog, make yourself familiar with different features and check how it changes your blog by applying some settings. It’s FREE and its your, so don’t hesitate to do some R&D.
Yes, you can even create one trial blog first and once you become confident, create another blogger.com blog for AdSense. There are many places where you can create a free website or blog like Blogger.com, but you can’t use many of them for AdSense.
Beside this, Blogger blog is very user friendly and being a Google product, your contents will get more love. Once your blogger blog is ready to publish the contents, you are ready for the next step i.e. writing on blogs.
Don’t worry, if you have not written even a single sentence like me in your whole life, I am going to tell you how you can become an expert in writing. But before that, just have a look on other options then blogger.com.

AdSense Revenue Sharing Websites

A revenue sharing website is something where you can create a site, write contents and promote it and share the money generated through your site.
There are hundreds of revenue sharing sites like HubPages, Squidoo etc. where you can create a free account and start writing on this. But what makes HubPages or Squidoo or any other site different then blogger.com.
The main difference is that all the contents written on such sites gets very high authority in search engines and they rank well as the contents gets matured. In blogger.com, your blog will be a separate blog and if your blog is poorly ranked, its contents will not rank high.
The other difference is that all the settings are ready in revenue sharing sites and you just have to write contents once your account is created.
In other terms, you can say, there is very limited control on the setting and look and feel of these sites.
There are so many people who are making full time money through Google AdSense and other earning programs just by writing on these sites like HubPages.com, Squidoo.com etc. Here are the top 5 revenue sharing sites, you can start earning with –
Not only AdSense, they will also share revenue generated through affiliate marketing sites Clickbank, Amazon, eBayetc. Here is one of the best article on how to make money from HubPages. Just check, read and understand this.
Although both blogger.com and revenue sharing sites are good to start with bit both have limited scope in terms of writing, designing and many other things you want to do. Because its free, you are always treated like a guest there. There are many constraints, and you can’t use full potential of your writing.
And that is where majority of people don’t like such freeware. They go for their their own paid hosting with their own domain like www.YourName.com. And by using free blogging software likeWordPress, you can create a killer blog.

AdSense Earnings With WordPress.org Blog

I can bet there will be thousands of people like me who can say “I am in Love with WordPress” or “WordPress is my second wife”. After all WordPress has changed the lives of millions of people and they work day and night with this.
Such people are known as either blogger or internet marketer. It may take some time to understand how to create a WordPress blog and how to make money with Google AdSense and other programs using WordPress but once you know WordPress, you will sing the same song like thousands of people and off course like me.

So what is WordPress?

Wikipedia explains – “WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and content management system (CMS) powered by PHP and MySQL. It has many features including a plug-in architecture and a template system. WordPress is used by over 14.7% of Alexa Internet’s “top 1 million” websites and as of August 2011 powers 22% of all new websites. WordPress is currently the most popular CMS in use on the Internet.”
But in a very simple language – If you have your own domain and hosting (purchased from a hosting service provider) like GoDaddy, HostGator etc., you can install the WordPress software on your hosting and start a WordPress blog. Then you have complete freedom to design your website as you want.
You are free to add as many free Apps or plugins as you like in your blog to function your blog as per your wish. Thousands of themes and plugins are available to change the layout, design, settings and the functioning of your blog.

It means, its hard to do all these things!!

No, never. Its very much easy. Just imagine, your first time you tried to learn riding a bike or driving a four wheeler. You must be thinking you will never learn this. But once you learned, you thought how easy is this?
Why you never thought, when thousands of dumb people can learn this, why don’t you? So its difficult till you see this from a distance. Yes, if someone need to learn any technical course to create a blog, then it may be difficult but its like a learning a 4 wheeler and anyone can learn this. just check here the simple steps-
  1. Purchased your domain & hosting from Hosting provider and created an account.
  2. Login to your account and installed WordPress on your hosting with a simple click. You got your WordPress username and password.
  3. Login to your WordPress account, install a free theme, some plugins and your blog is ready. WordPress has written a very well documentation on this topic and that you can access fromWordPress Codex. Just from this documentation, you will learn all about WordPress settings.

But how much this cost?

Oh, that’s not much at all. You can buy your domain and hosting in just $60 for 1 year. With some tricks and discount coupons, you can even get a good deal well below $60. So I don’t think, it’s something very big to try WordPress blog rather then using Blogger.com or Revenue sharing sites.
Even if you earn $1 a week from AdSense, you can recover your hosting charges. But who the hell is doing all these things for $1 a week. You need a very big AdSense income. So WordPress blogs with lots of smart and hard word and your desire to earn and learn can make you achieve this.

Content Writing – Next step in creating Google AdSense site

No one is a born writer. Writing comes by experience or by knowledge. Every person in this world has interest in at least 1 topic. It means, there is at least 1 topic, you will take interest to read in newspaper, TV, internet blogs, in your friends circle or anywhere when you heard about that topic.
You are a health conscious, you take more interest in health related topics, you are a cricket or football fan, you will watch cricket or football on TV, read more in newspaper or discuss with your friend.
Your interest may be finance, relationships, tourism, politics, mobiles, gadgets, Bollywood, Hollywood and endless topics of interest. So when there is some discussion on this, you can speak about that. So when you can speak something, you can even write that thing.
And yes, writing is easier then speaking as you don’t get more time to speak but you get so much time before you write another sentence. So you are getting my point? Am I right or Am I right (KD language)?

Write you already know

So what I want to say? I am just asking you to start writing about what you already know. People want to hear you, what you know and what’s your opinion and objections related to some topics.
People want to listen what you want about xyz, what is your review, where is your objection, why you like something or why you dislike something. They want to listen everything from you.
Get more & more knowledge about the topic by reading on others blogs, books, newspapers and write what you learned in your own words. More appealing contents you write on your blogs, more people will like them and refer their friends by email, facebook, twitter etc.
And yes, the biggest source of traffic i.e Google is watching all these things and once appreciated by many, Google will send more traffic on your website. More people visit your site, means more earnings through Google AdSense.

Source of Writing

People have already written everything about every topic, so you need to write something different in different way. There are many source of contents on internet and you can subscribe to the blogs of some popular people in your niche.
You can even use Google Alerts so that whenever someone writes about something, it will reach you directly. by email You can watch videos on YouTube and other video sharing sites. You can subscribe them. Read everywhere you can and only reading a lot can make you write some good contents.

Writing limit and frequency –

Try to write on regular basis at least 1 article a week. Write minimum 500 words to 1500 words article every week. Readers are not interested to read beyond 1500 words so try to shorten the article and write only important points if the article is long. Making this habit will ensure steady traffic from Google and so steady income from AdSense.

Next Step – Apply for Google AdSense account

This is one of the very crucial point as you will not make any money if AdSense rejects your application. According to AdSense policy, you must have a very useful site with 6 months old domain. But don’t worry as there are many cases, AdSense approves the account even for new sites and blogs.
Don’t think of AdSense for at least 1 month. Only focus on writing and quality writing. Write at least 10-12 high quality article in your blog before you apply for AdSense. Once your site become at least 1 month old, you can apply for AdSense at Google.com/AdSense.
It takes 2-7 days to get the approval from Google AdSense. In most of the cases, Google will give you approval if you follow as I said. In a rare case, they may reject your application. You can then write more articles and apply again after 1 month and now there is very good chance they will approve your account.
Note –  Don’t try to get your approval from others, who sell AdSense account. They may work for temporary basis but once deactivated, you may be permanently banned to open a Google AdSense account. Try to get approval your own way.

Next Step – Start Earning with Google AdSense

Once you get the approval, you can think of making money on AdSense. If you are really looking AdSense as a continuous source of income then don’t expect any money in the first 3 to 6 months. You are building a complete AdSense empire, so it takes time to build an empire.
Here are some of the steps you can follow if your blog is ready and you write on your blog on regular basis.

Use AdSense on your blog

To use AdSense ads on your blog, just login to your AdSense account, then click on ‘My Ads’ and then Ad Units from the Content. After clicking on Ad Units click on ‘New Ad Units’

Then it will ask for you the size of the ads. There are many different sizes of the ads one big wide Leaderboard (728×90), vertical Skyscrapper (160×600 or 120×600), Square (200×200 or 250×250) or rectangles (300×250, 336×280).
You can use them as per your website requirement but initial 4 Ad Sizes given there in the recommended list gives the maximum earnings. Other then these types of ads, there are link ads as given in the end of the drop down menu.
They are not actual ads but they are the link to the ads so when a person clicks on the ad link, it shows number of ads and if that person click on any of the ad, you get paid.
