Blogging is a way to express our freedom of speech, thoughts or opinions. Usually it’s about a specific topic or if it’s a personal blog. Blog posts could range from anything like your latest visit to a swanking restaurant or about a humorous joke you came across .
For those who enjoy blogging and spend lots of time doing it, why not make some extra pocket money from it? It doesn’t cost you anything and only requires a little bit of effort to setup but the return could be well worth it. That’s the beauty about online advertising programs — they work 24/7 even when you’re sleeping. Talk about a nice passive way to earn some extra money each day!
My first easy money making tip online is probably the most common and easiest method to get started with easy money making online from your blog. The program called AdSense where you can find in your dashboard if you are using Blogger. You may viewed hundreds of Google’s ads online and probably even clicked on a few since they were relevant to whatever topic or website you were reading at the time. That’s one of the great things about this program as it creates relevance to your readers and support the topics you blogs about.
Google Adsense
Google’s advertising program is free for all to sign up and application takes a few to days to approve, depending on how much content you already in your blog. Then adding AdSense to your blog is easy especially with Blogger’s new AdSense widget. Once your application is approved, just log into your account, customize your ad unit, and copy and paste a block of HTML code into your blog.
Step 1
First you need to sign up an AdSense account. This will take not more than a few minutes to do. Once you’ve your account setup and approved, go on to Step 2.
Step 2
The good thing about Blogger is you can easily add Google AdSense to your blog using their built in page elements. Login to your Blogger account, navigate to “Template” => “Page Elements” and then within the layout area, click on “Add a Page Element”. From there you’ll see this screen where you want to select the “AdSense” Page Element and click on “Add to Blog”.
Next you’ll see another screen where it will ask you to login (if it’s the first time you’ve tried to add this AdSense Page Element before). Just enter the email address and password you used when setting up your AdSense account. Once you successfully login, you’ll next see the ad configuration screen. This is where you select the ad format type (leaderboard, banner, text ad, etc) with many different sizes to choose from. Now remember to keep your site visitors in mind when selecting an ad format. You don’t want the ad to dominate your entire blog page which would annoy your readers. I’d recommend starting with a small rectangle or horizontal row format before going too crazy.
Don’t forget to also select a nice color scheme that matches your blog. Statistics show that the more blended in your blog ads are, the better change people will click on them. Remember to abide by the Google TOS though which I encourage you to read before breaking the rules by accident. Now once you’ve got the exact color scheme and ad format ready to go, click on the orange “Save Changes” button to add it to your blog.
Step 3 - Save and View Your New Ads
You should now save your Page layout and view your blog. The ad unit should be in place and ready to start making you money! Sometimes it takes a little while before ads start showing up and even a couple of days before relevant ads are displayed. This is usually the case if you’ve got a newer blog and Google isn’t familiar with your blog’s content yet. Google will then crawl your site and identify it’s general topic so it knows what ads to display.
