Adsense Gadget
So why not create your own Blog and start writing posts, adding photographs, videos and links.
Once you are happy with your creation you can then apply to join Google Adsense.
When you are accepted by Google add the targeted ads to your Blog. It is extremely easy to set up and use. It is also free to join.
Once you have a Google Adsense account you can add the ads to any other Blogs you create without having to go through the application process again.
Or if you already write articles on a writing site and have an account then you only have to use the Adsense Gadget on your Blog.
There is no need to apply again to display your ads.
Google will already have your account number on file and will link to your account automatically.
Blogging
If you have a special interest that you enjoy and can write short blogs about it then you will be on you way to earning money from writing blog posts online.
And believe me once you connect with other readers who also enjoy your interest then you will have created an interesting and profitable blog.
Making Money Online With Google
Targeted Google adverts are designed to appear on your blog in a way that they will only be connected to the subject you write about.
This way the blog looks good and you have a better chance of readers clicking on the adverts. When you add the Adsense Gadget it will automatically pick the most relevant ads for the subjects you are writing about.
You earn money when the reader clicks on the advert. It does not matter whether the reader actually buys or joins what they are advertising.
The reason you are paid for clicks is that you brought a potential customer to the company that had the ad on your page.
My First Blog
This first blog is about earning money by writing online. I use it to add unique links to my articles here on HubPages.
I always write a short blog post about the article but in different words that the article itself.
This is easily done by imagining you are telling your readers about your article, what is in it and how it will help them make money writing online by using the particular tips and advice.
You can look at the layout of my blog here and become a follower if you wish too.
Make money writing online Blog
Dog Stories
This blog is my newest one. It started off as a platform to sell clothes for dogs which is an up and coming industry.
I have mostly Amazon adverts on this one and only one Google advert I think.
My main income comes from selling all things to do with dogs from Amazon.
I keep seeing these wonderful stories on the internet about dogs and puppies so changed the title of the blog to include those as well.
This blog was only created recently so is still a work in progress.

Hii, Such a Nice Articles ;)
I'll Try To Improve My Writing Skill on TheGuideX.com
Really superb! I will try it
Hi Viking,
Thank you for putting this together. I hope you are feeling better and out of the hospital.
I had no idea Google blog was this simple to set up. I've always been interested in a platform like this, but have been dissuaded by other articles online about free blog - especially Google Blog.
Ignorance is truly NOT bliss. The down side for me is I'm going to go traipsing off and not complete my current projects.
Have you come across any limitations so far? Thanks again.
Wow! This is a well written and a very informative useful hub. Now I can´t wait to own my own blog on Blogger. Thanks for these loads of informations. Bookmarked, voted up and useful.
relevant information. will try it and see how much money i can make.
How does writing blog allows you to make money, does google pay you just for that? if so how much do you earn per blog
With Google updating their algorithm every month, it is quite difficult to stick to one rule, except for good content. Linking, spamming, duplicate content should be taken care of regularly or you might get your site penalized by the authorities at Google.
Always interesting to read how we can back a buck with our writings
I give people a lot of credit who can make a living off blogging; I've just never been able to make anything happen and gave up long ago. I guess it's because I'm not a big fan of social networking or sites like Facebook... I just like to write, I don't like to market. I guess that is why ghostwriting has worked out best for me so far. This is great advice for people looking to start out blogging.
One more thing, I saw that Amazon does not pay people in the U S. T least not on hub pages, Can you explain that?
This is good viking305 but you can't use the same content that is on hub pages. Is there anyway to show how much money and time to earn enough money to determine that it is worth more blogging at Google or posting hubs and earning here?
Viking, thank you so much for writing this very useful, helpful hub. You have done well with a lot of important tips and images to better portray how easy it will be to get started. I really appreciate this hub. Bookmarking, sharing and voted up +++
This is great advice, I have a blog there, but as others have said it just sits there and does hardly anything! lol! this is bookmarked so I can get my butt into gear and do something with it! voted up and shared, nell
Holding onto this for future reference...pinning.
superb..!!
will work on it soon..hope it will work too...
thankyou..:)
Another great hub viking305. I have a lot a work to do. I have not been paying attention to my hubs the last 12 months and when I came back to them 10 out of 17 were down as 'Not Featured'.
I managed to do some updating on them after receiving good advice and getting to know the new rules from HubPages.
Now all 17 are featured hubs. This is great yes but I also need to get traffic to them which I hope to study up on soon.
You have some great information hubs featured here viking305 so I had better go and do some homework.
Thank you for another great article and keep up the good work.

You have done well. I need to study all these tips and to intensify my online writing job. Really thankful to you for sharing this kind of informative hubs. Hope you will write more such stuff in future also for the benefit of people like me, who know writing but lack promotional and technical skills. All the best.
Please, I will love to join Google Blog/Adsence; but, I really do not know how. I'm very good in article writing and representation. I've once worked in an online marketing firm, from where I also learn the creativity behind article writing. Then, I used to write articles and post them on Ezine Articles; but, I now particularly take interest in joining those who are eraning money from Google Blogs/ Google Adsense. Please tel me how its possible.Thanks..WILLIEAM
Ok one question! Does it really work? Can you make a decent amount of money from adsense and amazon sales with a blog? I have been blogging for 3 years, tried varius affiliates and google adsense and barely made a penny. Hubpages has been far better for me already and I have only been here a few months. I am a genuine writer not looking to get rich quick or anything. My main blog if purely for enjoyment these days, I make almost no money but I love it so much. But I would consider starting others if I thought there was genuine earning potential in them. This is a great breakdown hub for anyone wanting to start a google blog I just wonder if 90% of people would ever actually make money? Thanks
Good write up and very informative post too.
Wonderfully researched and written! Voted up, useful, awesome, and interesting! Thank you very much for gathering so much useful information and adding pertinent videos that your fellow Hubbers and the general public can put to great use. I like how you're earning money and contributing to your community at the same time. A real win-win scenario! Aloha!
