Adsense Blog Basics

A lot of people are interested in making money online these days due to the current economic unrest, but not many people actually succeed.

Why is this?

There are two major reasons. The first is that many are taken in by those emails that promise huge earnings while offering nothing substantial in training to get this money. The use a lot of abstract marketing mumbo jumbo and jargon that unless you have a lot of money, you are not going to make money with these ideas.

Another reason is, to make money online, especially through the design of blogs that target Google Adsense, you have to put in a lot of work. You have to write tons of articles, mini blogs, and do a bunch of keyword research all with the intention of making money over time. A lot of people do not get this concept and end up quitting before they have even made a hundred dollars.

That first hundred dollars is the hardest to make, but the second hundred is easier. The same holds true for that first thousand dollars. The money is there, but it takes time to make it.

The good news is that Adsense blogging is a passive income that will keep making you money the more work you put in now.

Think of Adsense blogs as building blocks. Sure they don’t look like much at first, but as you build the foundation and put up the walls, later you’ll have a complete building that requires very little maintenance and keeps earning you money month after month.

But it is going to take awhile to get there.

The truth is you are not going to get rich with just one Adsense blog. You are not going to get rich with just one HubPage or one Squidoo lenses. You are going to make money with multiple websites designed to make money online while having lots of hubs and lenses, plus articles posted in article directories all interwoven and connected in a way that will boost the value of your sites and your posts.

But this will only happen if you put in the work.

If you want to start making money with Adsense blogs but don’t want to spend any money, then HubPages is the best place to start. By writing hubs, you can test out your keywords while getting experience in writing the right type of articles without spending money on hosting or buying domains.

There are two types of people trying to make money by blogging for Adsense; writers trying to further their career or entrepreneurs wanting to make money. The one who succeeds is the entrepreneur.

Why?

Because he is writing about things that make money, while the writer is writing about things he thinks people want to read about.

Writing articles about celebrity deaths and funny anecdotes of pink whales may get you social traffic, but it will not earn you money.

The types of articles you need to write have to be things that people are looking for to spend money on. Americans spend money on living and dying, on giving birth and playing sports, on looking better and feeling better, but mostly on trying to stay alive and keeping their money while living.

Research keywords in these areas and you will find CPCs of ten dollars and higher that have traffic but very little competition.

It is these things you should write about.

When it comes to making money online with Google Adsense, the philosophy is that it takes no money, but having some quickly speeds up the process. Having money to pay for outsourcing can quickly speed up the process of designing Adsense blog sites, but it is not necessary and can be harmful if you develop too quickly.

Websites need to age at a natural pace and some people tend to develop their sites too quickly when they can just buy articles and pay for programs like Unique Article Wizard. Google rewards those who put in the hard legwork and tends to frown upon certain methods of link building. They constantly change how their algorithms interpret traffic and, in the long run, improperly using certain link building programs might end up hurting your new sites.

Try to stick to a routine and don’t get too burned out while developing these sites. The key is never to give up. Most people quit within the first several months while others go on to generate great incomes because they stuck with their plan.

There are a lot of websites that offer advice and tips on how to generate an income from blogs built to target Google Adsense. The problem is that there are too many; some that are obsolete, some that offer black hat options and some that are completely wrong in their approach.

So how do you sort through them?

There are certain Internet gurus that offer great advice but are not designed for the beginner. If you want to learn the fundamentals and want to be involved with a great bunch of people that are supportive, then I would suggest visiting www.courtneytuttle.com and download his Keyword Crash Course.

This is an excellent place to start and leads to the Keyword Academy.

The Keyword Academy only costs a buck to join for the first month. After that, it cost about 33 dollars a month but it is well worth the price. They have a monthly webinar with Mark and Court, the two most laid back and easy-to-follow instructors I have ever met. These guys really care about what they are doing and want you to succeed. There is a great forum that Mark and Court even respond too on a regular basis and several other features that are essential to building your sites and learning about SEO marketing.

Go to www.thekeywordacademy.com and look over the articles and videos.

I have include a video on keyword research that might be helpful in you r decision about entering this fun and interesting industry.
