It pays to click. Rather, it pays for clicks. The “it” would be Google Adsense, and the money could be coming your way. How can you begin to start realizing that income? Here are 3 easy steps:
1) Find your niche and develop content. Google loves web creators that have useful sites, with quality material. Authors should fill their websites with more than just links for purchasing their books. Add a blog, review other works in your genre, and post some of your research when you are creating a new work. If you love to write murder mysteries, dedicate part of your site to exploring real life cases and trials. The more connected your website content is with your published work, the better positioning you will get in Google searches. Positioning leads to more traffic on your site and offer you a better chance of making some serious money with Adsense.
2) Create ads that blend with the design of your site. Ads can be obnoxious, and they can steal the thunder, so Google allows you to play with the design and color schemes of your ads. Take the time to create something that works alongside your site. You don’t want your visitors to be bothered by your ads, but still want them to notice them enough to give you a click.
3) Promote yourself by promoting your site. If you haven’t already done so, use your website as a way for fans, new and not yet realized, to interact directly with you. Be confident in the site you’ve created and what it has to offer, and then get it out into the world and use it as a place of business. The more you plug your website, the easier time people will have in keeping up on everything going on with your work. Increased traffic will increase your earnings.
By bringing advertising to your website, Google Adsense can be a real moneymaker. The amount paid per click ranges anywhere from a few cents to over ten dollars. With heavy traffic, those clicks can easily turn into thousands. The key ultimately is to have a site worth visiting, because as long as the eyeballs are there, clicks will happen with some regularity. Good luck!
