Tips On How to Make Money From Your Blog

Some people write blogs simply because they want to share their opinion on something. And there are also some who are business-minded people, who have found ways to use their blog to bring in a little extra cash.  Whether it’s a personal blog or a business blog, many viewers come to blogs expecting to find something that is of interest to them or something that they are passionate about.

In order to make money from your blog, first of all you would have to monetize your blog. One of the many ways to do that is to add Google Adsense to your blog. Google Adsense is a program that lets you sell advertising space to advertisers to place ads on your blog. The ads that are placed on your blog are ads that are relevant to your blog's content. You earn money each time someone clicks on the ads which are placed on your blog.

I fully recommend that you read Before you apply to AdSense before applying for Google Adsense.

Once your application is approved by Adsense, you can start placing ads on your blog. You can specify where you want the ads to appear on your blog, either displaying them vertically alongside the page like Google does or horizontally across your page like a banner. The placement of the ads is up to you.  It is best to avoid placing the ads at the very bottom of your page as most viewers tend to not notice them. You can even customize the colors to match your blog’s theme.

In order to make money with your blog, you need to have traffic, and your blog’s quality content is the best traffic generator. Always keep the contents of your blog fresh. By adding new contents continuously, chances are that viewers will come to visit your blogs again and again. No viewers would want to come visit your blog and reading the same thing over and over again. The more traffic you have, the more chances you have to earn with AdSense.

How much you earn will usually depend on:-

1.   the amount of clicks you get;

2.   the type of contents of your blog;

3.   how much the advertisers are willing to pay; and

4.   the keywords that are used – using the right keywords for your articles will attract more readers to read your articles.

So now you know that by monetizing your blog with Google Adsense you can earn some extra cash online. But bear in mind the most important rule about Adsense is not to click on your own ads as this will result in termination of your Google Adsense account.
