Make $100/Month With AdSense

Short posting today, since I spent last night doing my taxes and I'm feeling grumpy today because of it. Worse yet, my grandmother's in the hospital — please keep her in your prayers.

Regular readers will know that I'm not a get-rich-quick kind of guy when it comes to AdSense, though with a blog name like “Make Easy Money with Google and AdSense” I doubt most people realize that at first. I don't have a magical guide to making money online like most people are selling. The basic formula that I've always promoted and works for me is simple to explain:

• Find a topic that interests you and attracts advertisers. (Hard to make money on topics with no ads, given that AdSense is ultimately about displaying ads in your content.)
• Build a website or blog about the topic. (These days I favor going the blog route, even if you don't intend on updating it on a regular basis. WordPress and all the various plugins that are available for it make it easy to build even a “static” site as a blog.)
• Fill your site/blog with useful, original and unique content.
• Rinse and repeat.

Now that leaves out a lot of the messy details, of course. But do it two or three times and it will start to become routine: you'll develop a set of tools and best practices that make creating subsequent sites/blogs much easier.

A blog posting I came across yesterday lays it out quite well, so please take the time to read Make $100 Month In AdSense for another example of this philosophy in action. I especially like the clever eyeglasses blog he gives as an example — someone spent some time doing some good design work on that one!

You see, the “easy” part comes once a site's up and running. Getting there is the hard part.
