Getting a Google AdSense
account
This is the tricky bit.
However, if you can write original content and write it for a while on a blog
or a website, you would be able to get your account approved. For me I had
applied for it really early, back in 2007, when it used to be much easier to get.
I didn't use it till 2012, so when I started my first website I was immediately
able to use it with the first article itself. But nowadays it requires more
patience and persistence to get the Google AdSense account approved.
Content
When creating a blog, it
is very important to have a niche. This has two advantages. Firstly, the people
start to notice and keep coming back for more content on the same topic of
their interest. Secondly, this ranks better with Google. Writing original
content and lots of it can be quite challenging especially if you are not from
that field. So, I highly recommend starting your blog in an area that interests
you a lot. This would mean you can effortlessly produce articles on it. Your
knowledge would also keep updating when you get more and more into that
interest of yours and then you keep getting these new ideas to write about.
CPC
In Google AdSense,
typically you earn money when some user clicks on the ad. How much you earn
depends on the advertisement on your website. Some ads earn a lot of money per
click, while others earn less. This depends on the content on the website as
well as what the user has been searching on his machine. I wouldn't go and
optimize the articles to have higher CPC. It doesn't quite work that easily as
I can only write about stuff I know and not about stuff I am 'supposed' to
write about.
Passive Income
In my first blog, I used
to get only 30 cents for 1000 impressions. This is quite a small number. This
just becomes 9 dollar/month if you can get 1000 impressions every day. However,
the good part is it is completely passive. Once you have created a website of
value, people will come, get information and click on some ads once in a while.
The only effort is when building it up at the beginning and writing once in a
while. And then you can just earn little by little, if not a lot at once.
Multiply
If you could create more
blogs of value, or keep writing content for your blogs regularly, you can
achieve a lot more than 1000 impressions a day for your portfolio of blogs.
Also, you will then get a range of topics based on which the ads will be
displayed and thus can earn you much higher than above. My first blog was
actually not in English, and still I was able to get those many clicks. English
keywords would be more valuable and should get higher CPC.
In conclusion, Google AdSense is an excellent way of building small sources of passive income. Find things you have something to write about and others might find useful. Get regular traffic and see your AdSense earnings grow!
