how to make money with adsense

I’ve been on holiday the last few days so haven’t got much in the way of work done on my make money online ventures but I thought I should post a quick update on my progress towards Internet riches.

I started this challenge about six weeks ago with the aim of making money from Adsense so I could be stop spending every waking hour wondering how I was going to make a living without having to go back to working for someone else. At the time I didn’t have much of an idea about what direction my efforts would take me, other than having devoured much of Grizz’s writings over at his Make Money Online For Beginners website. Grizz’s articles gave me the drive I needed to commit myself to this game full time and the belief that it was possible to succeed. What I did find was that with all the information that was available on that site for free I started to get information overload and was wondering where to start on my journey.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, Grizz’s site pointed me in the direction of the Keyword Academy where I have really found everything I need to give my make money quest a push in the right direction. The plan of action set out at the Keyword Academy has allowed me to really concentrate on the things that matter without worrying about what I should be doing on any given day. I just blindly follow the advice of two guys who have been down this path before, as long as their theories are correct then I shall be counting a vast amount of pennies before long

Problems With My Approach To Making Money With Adsense

When I started this blog I had illusions of getting my Adsense Income to $50 a day by the 1st of July but I know realize I was being overly optimistic. It takes time for sites to mature and climb up the Google rankings so even if I turn out to be building sites that are successful, it will take a few months to see the returns.

For the moment I need to keep my head down and churn out the sites in the belief that the work I am doing now is going to turn into money in the future.

Mini Update On Adsense Income

My Adsense Income seems to be rising very slowly at the moment although at least things are moving in the right direction. What I can say on a positive note is that I feel like I’ve been putting some quality work into my niches both old and new over the last month. With any luck this concerted effort will start to pay dividends in a month or two.

Adsense Results For April

Well, April was a bit of a let down as far as making money with adsense was concerned. I had server problems which I posted about earlier what cost me a few days of earnings on my documentary site then my loans site was dropped 100 places down the Google Search results for 3 weeks.

My sites are all back to normal now but results were affected and last months Adsense Money was down to a paltry $116. Not exactly the results I was looking for but I suppose this game is going to be filled with ups and downs.

On a positive note I’ve been following the Make Money with Adsense advice of Court and Mark over at the Keyword Academy and feel like I’m making good progress. I’ve started sites in 4 more niches this month: exercise, coffee, kitchen and insurance. Its going to take a while to be able to tell if my efforts have been worthwhile but it feels like I’m getting somewhere. Hopefully by July I’ll start getting some Adsense income from the new sites.

What’s Required To Make Money Online

My plan of action regarding making money online has really changed recently as I become aware of the hard work that is required to make it in this game. There are no shortcuts to make money online like we all dream of. What we need to do if find a way to make money that has actually proven to work in the past and follow that religiously until we start to make money. The problem is that we are unwilling to put in the required work without seeing results for a few months, but the reality is that online money doesn’t just start flooding in after you throw up a few crappy websites.

We all need to realign our beliefs about what is required to make money online. We need to put serious amounts of work into our sites, then we need to allow them to mature and let Google build up a little trust in our sites. We have to build content, build support sites, work our ass off getting as many backlinks to our sites as we can. Making money online is not glamorous and its not easy, at least not to begin with. Hopefully by the time you’ve been working your fingers to the bone for 12 months you’ll begin to see the fruits of your labor and your sites will start to generate you some nice passive income.

Making Money Online Is All About Quantity Not Quality

I used to dream of building a website and sitting back and watching the money roll in, but I’ve come to realize that if you want to have a good chance of making money online you need to build a mountain of sites. Some of of your sites will make you no money, some will make a few dollars a month and if you lucky you’ll end up with a few sites that put real cash in your pocket.

So if you want make money online stop playing at it and get real. Put in the hours required, build as many sites as you can following good keyword research and learn how to optimize your sites for the search engines. The more I learn the more I realize that SEO is more about building backlinks than anything else so building networks of friends who can help you out with links when you need them is going to be worth pursuing over the long run.

A final note: I really feel like I’m starting to see the light with regards to making money online. This could be a false dawn of course but I can see that I have learned a great deal in the last few months and even if the sites I’m building at the moment don’t turn out to be winners none of this will be wasted time. My SEO skills may not be the best on planet yet but I’m improving all the time. When July rolls round I think I’ll have enough skills with search engine optimization that I should have the ability to, at the very least, offer SEO services to business who don’t have a clue what they are doing online. Regardless of what happens, I’m determined not to find myself back in a J.O.B. any time soon.
