How to Generate Income

Plain and simple, Google AdSense and Affiliates are just an advertising medium in which you can make money with your blog or website and I'm sure you would like to make some easy money right along with the rest of us. Your blog/website happens to be a great source for providing advertising links for Google AdSense and/or an Affiliate related to your sites contents.

Assuming you already have a website or blog (if not sign up for your "free" blogger account), you are probably already blabbing (or would like to) about something of interest so join in on the money game, it's lots of fun. Google AdSense and your chosen affiliate will be using your site as a means of getting their product or services advertised and for this they will give you a commission for inquiries and sales generated from your site......

To succeed with using Google AdSense and Affiliate marketing you will need to do a little research for yourself, gain as much knowledge as you can on the subject and give it a try. A little reminder for anyone who thinks they are going to become rich overnight is sadly mistaken...........there is actually a bit of work involved, you will need to update your blog or website often with valuable and original content, index and promote your site by submitting it to Search Engines and Directories.

I want to give you as much information as I can for "free" because my success will be based on your success! If you need any help, let me know and I'll do my best to answer your questions or refer you to someone that will know. Hope I have explained enough to wet your appetite for making some serious $$$$$ using Google AdSense and Affiliates.....if so continue reading for more instruction on setting up a Google AdSense account and joining an Affiliate program.


***Google AdSense:

Enhance your site.............and your profits with Google's Adsense for content, search and referrals. Start generating revenue from your blog or website by opening your "free" Google AdSense account.

Setting up a Google AdSense account is very simple..........if you don't already have one, complete and submit your application. Check for an email from Google to verify your email address. Once you verify your email address, Google will review your application and follow up with you via email within 2-3 days (usually sooner). If they approve your application, you'll be able to log in to your AdSense account and get started.

Now you are ready to go to the tab called "AdSense Setup". From there select "AdSense for content, search and/or referrals. Make your selection and it will walk you through the steps to generate the code you will need to put in your template, copy and paste it in the area you want.

Your concern might be, you could mess up your blog (don't worry) if you put your code in the wrong place of your template. Just be sure after you copy and paste the code in your template that you PREVIEW it first (very important), this will open a new window for you. If your code is where you want it to be, then close that window and SAVE TEMPLATE CHANGES otherwise CLEAR EDITS and you're back to square one, try again.

If you have exactly what you want, "Save Template Changes".

That part is done but now you'll want to go back into the dashboard and you do that by clicking on the blogger button in the top left hand corner of your blog. Click on template and you'll see AdSense just below.....well click on it. Select ad format that is right for you (mine is 468 x 60 Banner), now Select colors.......I happen to use the Blend template for my color scheme because it matches my postings and doesn't stand out like you're trying to sell something. Take a closer look at my blog and you'll see what I mean.

As a publisher you "can not" label the ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements". This will give you a very professional look on your sidebar or header.


Here is another little tidbit of info for you:

When a publisher that signs up for Google AdSense through your referral earns their initial $100.00 and is eligible for payout, Google will credit your account with $100.00.

* A Google AdSense referral is counted when a publisher, who has never previously enrolled in Google AdSense, creates an account and earns at least $100.00 within 180 days of sign-up. The referred publisher must be eligible for payment to qualify as a successful referral.

For your own knowledge and reference this information is located here. With this page in front of you, Choose Google AdSense under the Google referrals and continue onto the next page. There is a paragraph at the top and one at the bottom of this page stating the above mentioned information. I found this to be very interesting to learn and thought I would share it with you as a bit of encouragement, helping you to realize the possibilities for making some serious $$$$$$$.


***Affiliates:

There are many Affiliates out there......... just do a Google search for Affiliate Marketing and you will see lots of them to choose from.

I happen to personally like Commission Junction, if you're interested you can go to Commission Junction to sign up for your own "free" account. Scroll down and read about "Publishers" because this is what you will be, then login and they will walk you through the process of joining their team of publishers. They have so many companies for you to choose from and promote, deciding which company/companies to choose will take time so experiment with different ones and identify the companies that will pay you the most for your efforts and dedication. You will make a commission on all sales generated from your site.......


Imagine running an online business where you NEVER have to:


**Develop a Product

**Manufacture or Store inventory

**Take or process an order

**Shipping or Handling

**Customer Support

The merchant does it all and you'll reap the benefits of the sale!

Is this starting to sound a little inviting to you..............can you already see yourself generating a flow of income using this method? Remember being able to see yourself making money is very important............it's called having a "positive mental attitude"!

Thank you for your time and Good Luck to all that have and will benefit from this information. Please bookmark me for future updates or questions you might have. BTW don't forget to leave me your comments, I would love hear from you!!

Sherry, great post! Very informative and easy to understand. One point though: use your own AdSense referral link for the Google AdSense link in this post. that way if someone clicks on that link while reading your post you'll still receive a referral commission! just copy the link from the "Advertise on this Site" from your own blog's adsense ad.
