Daydreaming About Adsense

I am very optimistic about the idea of earning online, despite me being a novice in the moneymaking blogosphere scene. I already have featured the story of Ashley Qualls who earns $70,000 a month from Adsense, and promise I will feature more online moguls here who are earning HUGE BUCKS by being online! When I say HUGE, I mean really big heaps of MONEY!

So here I am now, in a very tiring yoga position, reciting my moneymaking mantra (MONEY,MONEY,MONEY,MONEY - hehe, what else?). At the same time, wishing that all the good-hearted people visiting here, thru Entrecard, Mybloglog, Blogcatalog and from somewhere else, would click all my Adsense adverts - an act of goodwill, donation, pity - whatever you all feel like. Now I am envisioning my Adsense clicks shooting up, 10, 30, 40, 50, 100 clicks -- til I lose count anymore (coz I can only count til 100, hehe) -- equals $$$$ only Adsense know how much. BOINK! Somebody should hit me on the head.hehe. Really hard. If only Adsense clicks would come that easy, that's my wishful thinking. But hey, there are lots of beautiful souls out there, right? LOLS.

Sigh, enough of my daydreaming coz the truth is, I kinda pity myself, tsk,tsk, my December Adsense earning is only $9.46 for my 2 sites -- not barely enough to buy me a nice shirt -- 5.54 dollars short of my projected $15 dough! But hey, I am not complaining, I have only been here for 5 months and an Adsense member only since October! My site, beautifulandhappy, started late August 2007 and DOLLARSONLINE is just alive for barely a month! I am not sulking really, coz for the last 2 days, my Adsense earnings are peaking up (thanks to some friends and loved ones, LOLS!), I am now earning $4.50 on the average. Wow, a good start for 2008! If that trend would continue for the whole month, I'd be earning $135 for January, yey! Then I may be able to show you my Adsense earnings at last! (sigh some more, deeper this time,hehe)

Ok, enough of my day dreaming (everything starts with a dream, right?) and go back to reality. I gotta work my butt out and earn some more MONEY. Better start with better posts - NOW!!!

JOIN BIDVERTISER

I recently joined BidVertiser, a site-targeted marketplace where you can be an advertiser or publisher (bloggers like me). I have enlisted my other website and this one. So far, I have earned $1.04 for my other site, coz the average click is $0.10. Imagine that if you've got thousands of visitors and all of them click your bidvertiser - whoa, lots of money! Don't want to compute now - but with more hardwork, i will get there for sure.




Anyways, BidVertiser has also a referral program and I reckon the pay-out is very good. Here is their referral pay-out, which I think is great:
  • When a user signs as an advertiser and first spends $10, they will credit your account with $5. When that same advertiser spends $50, you will be credited with an additional $20.
  • When a user signs as a publisher and first earns $10, they will credit your account with $10. When that same publisher earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40.
And what's more exciting about Bidvertiser? The minimum pay-out is only $10 to be deposited to your paypal and there's no restriction on how many number of ads you place on your site. Isn't that exciting? So what are you waiting for? Join Bidvertiser now by clicking the button below:




4 secrets to earn more in Google Adsense

Ok, so google search is now my new bestfriend since i am doing lots of googling about Adsense. Based on what i've read, there are 4 simple secrets to earn those dollars through Adsense. So here are the basic tips to succeed in Google Adsense

  • CONTENT - In the first place, if you don't have no blog entries, why did you have a blog afterall? The more the merrier? Nope, that does not apply in blogging. Writing a few EXCELLENT articles, rather than a bunch of crap articles (hmm, now i'm learning).
  • KEYWORDS - heard about SEO or search engine optimization?
  • ADS - where do you put the ads
  • TRAFFIC - people, reader!!! need i say more? the more the traffic, more impressions, more clicks, more money!!!
Ooops, I think i almost forgot the most important secrets -- commonsense and time!!!Am i right or what? Now I got to work harder on that common sense. LOL

HOW MUCH DO YOU EARN FROM ADSENSE?

Google adsense is definitely a must in your site if you want to earn some dollars on the side. Although, novice bloggers earn just a meager cents for their first few months of existence in the WWW, like me, it is very encouraging to see people actually earning money through Adsense.

Like Ashley Qualls, i talked about my last entry. There are numerous other bloggers out there who are earning decent amount from adsense. Hence, starting with this post, I just wanna ask you how much do you earn from Adsense? I'll started this out, as of today, after signing with Adsense since September, i already earned $1.81. Yeah, i know it's still small, but I am very optimistic, my earnings would increase in due time. :D

Who wanna go next?

$70,000 Adsense Earnings of Ashley Qualls

I've seen her story from yahoo.com, and now countless sites (including mine) and lots of tv appearances are making this young girl from Detroit a celebrity in her own right. So who is Ashley Qualls?

She's a 17 year old teener who owns the site Whateverlife.com that offers free Myspace layout. At the young age of 9, she was already learning basic web design. In 2004, from the $8 she borrowed from her mom to pay for a host and domain, she applied her knowledge of HTML to building Whateverlife.com. Now her site is a multi-million earner, and earning for her a whopping $70,000 a month from Google Adsense!!!

According to Google adsense analytics, her site receives 7 million visitors and 60 million page views a month. That's more traffic the AmericanIdol.com and Oprah.com get. Her audience is larger than teenage magazines like Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and Cosmogirl, all combined!!!

Wow, her story is truly amazing. Hmm, I wished I also learned html before.Hehehe. That's one lesson learned, but here are the other lessons from this teenage entrepreneur:

  • The internet is the ultimate equal opportunity employer. Your age, race and gender aren't obstacles, they're opportunities.
  • Base your internet business on something you love to do. If you're having fun, the money will come.
  • Be selfless. When Ashley started her website it was all freebies all the time – and still is.
  • Keep at it. Most really successful online start ups like Whateverlife.com are offshoots of something you're already working on.
  • You don't need tons of money. Starting an online business is a true "sweat equity" opportunity. Everything you need to get started is available on the web for free if you have the time to look.
