It's a difficult thing to convince people you can make a living using a free Google blogger blog, but you can when you put Google AdSense on it. No, this isn't another brief look at putting AdSense on a blog and leaving it there while it does nothing. This is a look at why using a free blog is the best way to do it and why.
Before anything else, someone wanting to blog must make the decision to either want to attract readers or make money; it's as simple as that.
(Watch how to create a Blogger website/blog.)
The reason I say that is it's a fact that hardworking writers burn themselves out putting up great content, while getting very few people to click on their ads. That's because people that read your blog aren't going to click on your ads.
The people that will click on your ads will be people who are searching for something; trying to find a solution. You could think of it by putting the words "how to" in front of a topic find the type of people who will make you money.
If they're thinking or going to write in "how to" when doing a search, they're the types of people that will click on your ads.
So anyway, back to the blog platform itself. The reason why it's so powerful is it's optimized right out of the box, so you can for the most part just start putting up your content right from the beginning.
Most people think a Google blog is too ugly to make money, but in reality that's the real secret behind its success. Oh you can make it look good if you want to, but you're defeating the purpose if you do.
The reason why is if people come to your blog with high expectations, they take one look at it and click away from your site. The key to making money is to make it so the only way they can leave you blog is by clicking on an AdSense ad (other than backing out).
You do this by not including a bunch of links to other websites or blogs. Give people an alternative option and you'll find them always clicking out where it doesn't make you money.
This sounds counterintuitive, but in reality it really works, as those making money with AdSense quietly practice and know. If you feel you need to include links, then by all means link to other posts within you blog, or to an affiliate program you're taking part in. Don't send targeted visitors somewhere where you gain nothing out of it.
There is one thing that is essential to making money with AdSense, and that is choosing a targeted niche that will draw the right type of people looking for a specific thing.
You do that by using a keyword tool like the Google AdWords keyword tool and adding in possible topics that can make you a lot of money.
Results will come up showing how many times the word has been searched for, and by clicking on CPC afterwards, find out the approximate amount the word is worth. Unless there's a ton of long tail keywords within you targeted audience, make sure the keywords you find are worth about $1 or more. Otherwise you can get a lot of clicks without it adding up to much.
That's the most important part of the entire equation. If you don't do this right, it won't matter how good you optimize you blog for visitors if there aren't enough people to make you significant money.
Don't only include your main keyword though, as there could be a lot of long tail keywords which added up together could be very lucrative for you. In other words, look at the entire niche, not just one aspect of it.
The next thing to think of is naming your blog in the right way. When you find your keywords, from there include them in the name of your blog, as that's one of the first things Google will look for when performing a search. Also include them in the blog description, and the post titles.
When writing your blog posts, include your keywords in the first and last paragraph, because Google reads a post that way. When you do that, Google will understand better what you're writing about, and send you the most targeted visitors, which means the more opportunity to make money.
Overall, this is the most you can do to optimize your blog. From there you work on building up backlinks, which is ultimately the way you gain success with AdSense.
The secret there is to get properly anchored backlinks, like using the words "free Google blog" in the anchor text. That carries more weight than simply saying "click here" in the link.
There you have it. The secret to making money with a free blog.
Keep the blog simple and plain looking, which a free Google Blogger blog is if you don't attempt to spice it up too much. Write long posts to include as many keywords and long tail keywords in the text that you can. Build up backlinks day after day, and the traffic will definitely come if you choose the right keywords.
