In this post, I`ll discuss on how to start making money using a blog. This section is targeted at the newbies.
1. We need a blog to place our ads in, right ? What is better than blogger(blogspot.com) to start blogging ? This is because Google Adsense has tied up with blogger.com so that you can place the ads with ease, without having to copy paste the code in the template section, thus bypassing all those so called `geeky` stuff. If you blog with blogger, the ad insertion is too simple a task.
2. Once you`ve created a blog, you need to Apply for Adsense. You need a valid blog/site address that belongs to you because at the time of application, google now asks for a URL. So, I suggest that you complete step 1 if you do not have a blog.
After applying for Adsense, you`ll get your e-mail confirmation link and is supposed to click and validate your email account. You`ll be accepted into Adsense in 1-3 days after application. This is because google cross checks all the addresses and data in it`s database to find duplicity and to verify the URL you have given against any objectionable content like porn, violence etc.
3. Once you get the confirmation mail that you`ve been accepted into Adsense, login to your Blogger Dashboard and goto Template > Adsense tab and sign in using the email ID and password you had provided. Now you can insert the ads with ease. (Assuming you have at least one post in your blog.)
There, you are done ! Just keep posting or making new blogs and if your blog has a reasonable number of hits, you can, on an average earn a $ a day. One good thing about Adsense is that is does not require the `minimum hits` to a webpage, where the ad is being placed.
You earn anything from 0.10 to 5 $ (or more) PER cilck on your ads by a visitor. Click here to see the Ad formats you may use in your pages.
