Make Your Own Website

Making Money With Google Adsense

I had a friend ask me the other day how he could make money online. I knew that he didn’t have the technical knowledge to build an in-depth website with a shopping cart and databases. I also knew that if I recommended a website like that he would hit me up to help him through the entire process so I had to consider something else.

He’s been a friend of mine for many years so I knew that he knows a lot about Ford Mustangs and he stays up on the latest Mustang trends. I mentioned that he may consider making a blog and adding Google Adsense to it. Once I talked to him about the ease of it and his only investment is $6.95 a year for a domain name and about $4 a month for web hosting he was sold.

We registered the domain name and setup a hosting account and then we installed Wordpress on the domain name and found a free Wordpress template to give it the feel that he wanted. It took us about 30 minutes to the the blog online.

After that I had him sign up for a Google Adsense account and added the code to a couple of places to his blog. After that he was ready to go and started writing various posts related to Ford Mustangs.

That was about 5 months ago and since then he says that he’s bringing in about $500 a month through his Google Adsense account. It’s not something that he’s going to retire on but as he builds a larger following he’ll start to earn more. Plus it sure helps with the way gas prices are today.

The other thing is that he’s considered starting a couple more blogs and if he can get them to the point where he is now he can make a nice supplemental income for about 1 hour worth of work a day.

What I’m getting at is that it’s very easy and affordable to make money online especially when you can integrate something like Google Adsense onto your blog. It’s free to setup an account and after you go through a short wizard you’ll be given a snippet of code that you can place in your blog.

If you’re interested in reading more on making money with blogs take a look at ProBlogger.net. In my opinion it’s the authority on the internet about how to monetize blogs.
