My First Year Trying to Make Money Blogging

It has been close to a year now that I started trying to make money online blogging. Since then, I have been a negligent father to all my websites and have left most in a state of disrepair. i now own over twenty-five domains and I can only say that there are only a couple that I am satisfied with right now. I have not made any serious money doing this, but I have to say the fault is my own and not in the methods that are taught by people like Griz or Court. Had I stuck with it all year, I am sure I would have had a decent head start in earning a living make money through blogging and Google Adsense.

So far, I have earned around 300 dollars through Google Adsense, affiliates, and other source of monetization like Adbrite and Infolinks. I will be writing a review on these two sites, so just follow this link to learn more.

Now, 300 bucks doesn’t seem like a lot, but that is all passive income; I mean really passive income because I have largely ignored my sites over the year. In fact, some of my sites have no Google Adsense on them at all because i chose to either remove the ads due to lack of quality in the site or that Google chose to ban the site from ads. (Like this site!!)

But overall, i feel that in 2010, I can take the valuable experiences from the last year and help make my sites grow bigger and more profitable.

Some Advice on Blogging and The Mistakes I Learned From

The first thing I got to say about trying to make money blogging is that you can’t be afraid to fail. You can’t spend all your time searching for answers to your questions and reading every blog possible before you try something. You just have to jump in and prepare to fall on your feet. Look, I have made dozens of mistakes over the last year from simple editing errors with WordPress to having subpoenas served on me for copyright infringement, so i can say I am an expert on errors. i have had sites that Google has removed their ads from and I have had some articles pulled off of sites because they violate rules of content. I have posted duplicate content, scraped websites for information and just plain put together crappy sites. But in all this, I learned to make nice sites that can make money while at the same time offering exclusive well-written and SEO styled writing.

Here is a couple of pointers about making money blogging:

1. Learn to maximize your time

Over the course of blogging, you are going to write and rewrite hundreds of articles unless you are lucky and have the money to outsource your work. I am one of those unlucky bastards who has to make all my own content for not only my Adsense blog sites but for my link sites and other places i have to submit content. I used to write all my blogs in Word and then transfer them into WordPress, but have since stopped this habit.

Mozilla Firefox has a built-in spellchecker which works perfectly well with the spellchecker that is built-in to WordPress. With these two features, there is no need to write your work in Word, then transfer to WordPress. In fact, almost all of your blogging can be done in the formats that most blog sites come with. Ezine, HubPages, and Squidoo allow you to just type way right into the editing tools to design your blogs.

You have to understand that you are a blogger now, not a writer. The difference is that you must learn to just push out the content with lightning fast speed and shave off time by constantly transferring and storing files in different areas. You should write your blog as a draft and go back later to edit it, but you should not be spending an extreme amount of time trying to get it perfect.

Also, you must limit the amount of time you spend reading blogs. yes, it is good to read some blogs to get information and tips on how to make money online through blogging, on the latest on Google Adsense, and tips on how to get the best SEO for your site. These things need to be done in moderation and should only take up about 5% of the time you use to develop your blogs.

2. Have a Game Plan

Before you decide to make money through blogging, make sure you have an idea of what your expectations are. You are not going to get rich overnight. You need to put in the legwork, lots of legwork if you plan on making a living through Google Adsense blogging or any other from of affiliate programs. You need to decide how much time each day you are going to assign to this project, how many sites are you going to start with, and what keywords do you feel are the right ones to build your blogs behind.

You got to make sure you do not get to far ahead of yourself and make sure your sites are supporting your costs.

This should be your first goal. All your sites should be making back the costs you spend on maintaining them. If you only spend ten dollars a year on the domain and ten dollars a month for hosting, then your Adsense blogs must recoup this cost or you need to rework them. if you are outsourcing your work, then this expense must also be added into the projections for your site. If your blog is not making money after a year, then you must either rework the site or move on.

My game plan this year is that each site must make double its cost in 2010. We will see how that goes.

3. Don’t Get Ahead of Yourself

This was my biggest mistake. Before I had successfully developed my first Adsense blog, I was already buying up other domains. Before I knew it, I had already own over twenty domains and did not have the time or energy to work on any of them. The good news is that these sites now have a little age on them and they shouldn’t be too hard to monetize. The bad news is it gave me an overwhelming feeling of burn out when it came to working on them.

When you first start, I would suggest that you do not buy more than five domains for Adsense blogging and wait and build these sites for six months before getting more. Just keep your research in keywords and use this knowledge to expand your base. If anything, write blogs on these keywords for sites like HubPages or Squidoo and use these links later to build your new sites.

4. Understand Your Limitations

i think most of all, you got to understand exactly what you are capable of doing. if you have very little experience writing or working with webpages, then you should start off small and simple. Find one nice keyword that you feel will make money with Google Adsense while at the same time not completely bore you to death and build a simple Wordpress around this keyword. Work with HubPages, play around with Squidoo, submit to Ezine, and just build your links while at the same time doing some reading of SEO tips and read up on the themepages for other WordPress themes to get an idea of what is capable.

Building blogs for making money with Google Adsense is not just about passive income but it is also passive education. The more you work with the blogs, the more you learn, the more you know, and pretty soon, you will find yourself giving advice in the same way you were seeking it in the beginning.

The Adsense Blogging World

So, I am now a two-month veteran of the I Survived Two Months In The Adsense Blogging World community. I say I am a veteran and no longer a newbie, because it has been a hard fought battle to get to this point. I have learned a lot, made several mistakes, some huge, mostly small, but most of all I had to switch my perspective as a writer.

I started this by writing what I knew and what I was comfortable with. I now find myself writing about things I have absolutely no interest in, nor any previous knowledge about just to try to make money with Google adsense. I am writing huge 1000 word plus epics on the most mundane and boring things in the world.

Why?

Because these things are popular and these things have high Cost Per Click rates.

Adsense Blogging and the CPC Killer

In the world of making money online and especially writing blogs for Adsense, you are going to find that you are eventually going to battle with who you are and what you think you know against who you need to be.

Who did I think I was?

An amateur writer who has a damn opinion about everything and anything. I would scan the Internet and write about the stuff that I thought mattered like Michael Jackson’s funeral and my opinion on stuff I knew about like dogs.

Was this going to make me any real money?

I wasn’t sure. I was writing to appease a social audience and it my first two months I has over 20,000 page views, but they only translated into less than sixty dollars in money.

I also started writing for other people which made me around a hundred dollars in that same time period. The crap I wrote for other people ranged from how to get rid of ingrown toenails to how to choose the best wine refrigerator.

During this time of writing other people’s articles, i had an epiphany.

I am writing the wrong types of Adsense blogs. I needed to stop writing about what people are searching for because they might buy it, but what people are trying to find information about before they spend money.

I had finally understood the difference.

Hubpages and Adsense Blogs

So, over the last several months, I had written about 44 useless HubPage Adsense blogs that got very little traffic and made almost no money.

I was about to give up on HubPages completely when I noticed Court having a webinar that broke down exactly what he did.

So, with bated breath and a new outlook on what I was doing, I watched his webinar and decided to do it exactly as he suggested.

That is usually how I screw up. I see how people want me to do it and I kind of go off in my own direction.

And over the last two months, I have gone off in so many directions. I’ve spent time on hubs, bought close to twenty domains, fooled around with Squidoo and basically left a long trail of half-used toys dangling all over the Internet.

My Third Month in the Adsense Blog World

What’s going to happen in my third month?

It is time to tidy up all my little messes. It’s time to go back over my Adsense blogging websites and clean up all the crappy blogs. It’s time to polish up those lenses and to actually put some work on websites that are sitting there looking empty.

You see, I have finally developed a pattern to creating my Adsense blogs and I am going to use it for all my pages.

My goal is to finally make a hundred dollars in one month.

Wish me luck.

I know now that there are not enough hours in the day to build all my Adsense blogs. I now own about fourteen domains and they are all over the place in levels of completion. Some of them still have that great “Hello World” sticking out at there for all to see. Not to mention that I have a hard time sleeping at night because of all the damn caffeine I drink all day and my family has demands, too. I really wish they would learn how to cook and that my son would change his own diapers.

It is real easy to get burned out doing this making money online thing especially if you have to write your own material. Someday, in the near future, I plan on outsourcing my Adsense blog articles, but right now I can’t afford it. I am trying to convince John (remember him as my great source of keywords) to invest so that I can buy thirty more websites and outsource the articles to undeveloped countries that speak broken English.

Oh, those great entrepreneur dreams.

So far, John is skeptical and wants to see me make more than five bucks a week. Yes, I have already made five dollars from Google Adsense, and I am trying to convince him that I have barely done five percent of the work necessary to building a steady income from my Adsense blog sites. He is not buying in to my money making system, yet, but I believe he will come around.

I have a mountain of work ahead of me, and I am glad that I have no life or I would have given up by now. Building blogs to target Google Adsense is an endurance test and I am glad it is because it helps eliminate the competition, and the bonus is when you do start to make money those already in the game make one of the friendliest communities to be involved in. Over at the Keyword Academy, there is a great community forum where even Court will add his opinion on a regular basis. They also have a cool ranking system that ranks those in the community by how much they make a month. These members must submit reports to be ranked, so that you know when you ask someone for advice they have actually made money and aren’t blowing smoke up your ass. If you are not part of the Keyword Academy, then you really don’t want to make money through Adsense blogging.

I’ve made mistakes and learned from them in the last two weeks. I really feel like I am in an elite group that gets the real deal of making money online.

Here are a few things I feel that are important to mention.

1.       Get Organized- Start making Excel sheets and keep track of your work

2.       Work on each website in rotation- Write a blog, then a Ezine, a HubPage, a Squidoo, etc. for a site, then move on to the next one.

3.       Read less, Work more- it is important to read blogs and find new info, but this should never take more than 10% of your time.

4.       Build them links- this can never be stressed enough

Remember, this an income that has low maintenance down the line, but for now, you got to put in the work.

So my first week went by quickly. I watched all the tutorials, bought several domains, and started posting content. So after spending some time with my girlfriend and my son, some time decompressing from spending sixteen hour days on the computer, it was time to get back into my Adsense blogs and to learn how to make money writing online.

Part of Court’s teachings is that you start to submit articles to Ezineartilces.com and eventually to HubPages.  Well, these two sites can be extremely helpful to building links, but each is completely different in the way they operate.

First, though, you want to make sure you are submitting original content to these sites.  I made a mistake of submitting duplicate content and it ended up costing me a big headache in the long run. For one, it affects your rating on HubPages and secondly, it slows down your articles from being posted at Ezine. Also, don’t use an article spinner. It is best to write new articles for these sites or you will just be wasting your time.

Now, with Ezine you will be getting some solid links with a decent amount of traffic to your Adsense blog. But if you want to post there and not buy premium membership and want to see your posts up by Friday, make sure you submit your articles earlier in the week. Ezine reviews every article before it is accepted, which can take a few days, not counting weekends. If you plan on using this website to help with your Adsense blogging, I would make sure you have the patience to deal with them

Now, over on HubPages, your articles go up immediately and you can earn money from their Google Adsense, but this site has a popularity style of posting and you have to keep your pages in the high ranks or they shut off your links. I have yet to earn a penny from them.

The other thing I am focusing on is exchanging links. This is a very important step in building up your Adsense blog sites. Now, most people seem to have trouble getting links, but I have had at least a 50% success rate in trying to get these contacts. Well, for one, I used Grizzly’s niche support and Keyword Academy instead of asking random people on the internet. I don’t see a point in sending out a bunch of emails to people that might not be in the same making money online business. Who knows if they are ever going to respond?

At least with niche support, even those that don’t want to help at least send me an email in acknowledgement. If you are trying to build links, then you should stick to your own kind.

So, it’s my two week anniversary in this making money with Google Adsense game. So far I have made a dollar and thirty-five cents. I was excited when I saw the money show up in my Adsense account. I jumped up and down for joy, ran out in the street and shouted to the neighbors that I was on my way to making a million dollars. After that, I started checking my account every hour to see if the money was still rolling in. Now, it is four days later and I still only have a buck thirty-five for my Adsense blog.

What did I learn from this?

That this is a waiting game, that you have to keep building your Adsense blogs, keep building domains with the purpose of making money online, and just be patient. You got to learn to stop checking your statcounter, stop checking your Google Adsense, and just work on your long con.

In last week’s episode of Lie to Me, Dr. Lightman ran a long con on a serial rapist to get him to reveal his copy cat. That’s what I call this system of making money online. You have to be in it for the long run, you have to be willing the go the distance, and put in the leg work now. The great thing about building blogs for Adsense money is that once they are up and running, they are low maintenance. It is real easy to stack a portfolio of online real estate designed to make money online targeting Adsense and affiliate links. But it is not an overnight process. It can take months, years to make a decent income especially if you don’t have good keywords or the time to dedicate to building your websites.

Putting In the Leg Work

In the last two weeks, I have put in between ten to twenty hours a day either building or learning about Adsense blogs. The great thing is that all this work and knowledge is incremental; constantly building upon itself to create better websites designed for making money online.

One of the biggest improvements is in my keyword searches. At first, I sought out any profitable keyword that was going to have monthly CPC earnings of over fifty dollars. While these keywords are good to have, you must also think about what type of person is going to visit your page.

For example, an Adsense blog on kittens might pay you fifty bucks a month, but are the people searching for kittens really going to spend any real money on any ads targeting kittens. Sure, they might buy flea collars and kitty litter or they might just be cat lovers who like to search the internet for kitty information.

But let’s say you have developed an Adsense blog for plastic surgery. Well, the people who visit these sites are willing to spend real money on cosmetic enhancements. Also, they might have weight loss issues, might need herbal supplements, and there is a good chance they will click on your Google Adsense ads and your affiliates, which in turn will make you real money.

So when researching your keywords, think about what people are really spending money on, not just what people are searching for online. Build two or three Adsense blogs on similar subjects and provide anchor links and blogroll links between these sites to help boost their authority.

Your Adsense blog websites are like a good wine. You have to let them ripen and mature. The keys to a good site is to not only find a niche and place five articles, build some links and forget about it, but to build up these sites. Let’s say you own twenty sites designed to make money online targeting Google Adsense and have followed Court and Mark’s advice, have developed links through Griz’s niche support site, and you are making a grand a month.

Sounds really good.

So you go on building new Adsense blog sites while forgetting about your old ones. What is going to happen is that others are going to come along and knock you out of your keywords because you are not maintaining your sites.

Take this site, Adsense Blog For Beginners for instance. I know that there is some competition for this specific keyword search. It is not like there are any real legacy sites with information on making money online, but just a bunch of Adsense bloggers. Well, since the site went live, it now ranks number one and two for the keyword Adsense Blog For Beginners and is in the top fifty for Adsense blog and one of the reasons is that people became happy with just the write five article/build up some links mentality. You got to keep building up your sites adding more links, more content, gaining more authority.

You can’t just let your Adsense blog sites stew in their own juices, but let them marinate for the best taste.

Running The Long Con with Your Adsense blog Sites

You got to build up your anchor links on your Adsense blog and not just your blogroll. One way to do that is request a trade for textual anchors in another person’s blog site. Requesting links for blogs is not as hard as some think. It is good to find those in the same game of making money online to trade links then just regular blog sites. While some of the latter sites might have decent page ranking, the problem is you might have to send out a couple hundred emails just to get one or two links. Most of those who are trying to build up their Adsense blogs are friendly and considerate people especially Court. Out of the last twenty emails I sent to Adsense bloggers, almost all replied and more than half of them agreed to a link exchange.

Another way to build up links is to send some juice back to your other sites from your main Adsense blog site. If you build up your MMO site, then it is relatively easy to add anchor links in an article.

So, let’s say inside one of my posts I start talking about the difference between drug detox and drug rehab. Or I decide to discuss different companies who offer LSAT test prep. Maybe, I know some things about liposuction and feel like talking about these things in my blog.

I also can go into depth about dogs. I could talk about dog breeds that are the best for guard dog training. I could mention what are the best breeds to have as puppies, or even offer advice about dog training.

The point is that in those last couple of paragraphs I provided a little juice to my own Adsense blog sites. This is one way to help build that maturity and authority that is most vital in making money with Adsense.

Look, there is a lot of advice out there on making money online, but it really comes down to doing your homework, doing the leg work, and investing time to make sure your sites get ranked. It is not an overnight get rich plan, but instead a way to gain financial freedom from a steady income.

If you have made it this far in this article and want to request an anchor link to any unused keywords above, just list the anchor text and your Urls in the comments below. I will delete each comment after I have put in your link. Just include me in somewhere in your blog site with any of the following keywords: making money online, Adsense blog, Adsense blogging, Adsense blog for beginners, or anything similar.

I’ve been sifting through articles about Adsense blogs, Adsense blogging, and making money using Google Adsense lately. One person who really catches my eye is Griz.

Besides the upcoming review I have of his sites, he has taught me the value of running the long con or slow con when trying to make money online.

In the world of Adsense blogs, few come as crafty and honest as Griz. So far, he has taught me some valuable techniques to help me with my SEO plans. A little over a week ago I bought my first domain and began my career as an Adsense Blogger. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, and sometimes I still don’t know. But I have a gut feeling that I am headed in the right direction for make a living off the internet.

If you have been watching the television series Lost, then you are familiar with the character of James Sawyer. The interesting thing about Sawyer is he is born con-man and understands the long con. If Sawyer decided to get in the internet game then he would be at the top with making money with Google Adsense.

That is how I would decide to call the business of trying to make money as an Adsense blogger. It is not a quick plan to make money, but a long term race for those who stay in it to see the payoff at the end. Some people fall for the short cons on the internet and end up getting frustrated with trying to make money online. They buy the courses, spend money on lessons, try to sell their clothes on E-Bay, and finally get frustrated and quit. Others actually try to become Adsense bloggers but end up giving in before any of their sites make any money. They use the wrong keywords, don’t understand the importance of backlinks, and fail to optimize their Adsense blog for keyword density.

So far in the last week, a few of my sites, including Adsense Blog for Beginners, have posted in the top five for long tail keywords. Sure these are not my desired Adsense keywords, but for only being a week out the box, it feels good to see your Adsense blog listing in Google already.

Being In the Adsense Blog Game For The Long Haul

Most people do not have the time to spend on building a dynasty of online real estate that will attract incomes that break the four-figure level. They don’t have time to do keyword research, write content, build links, or to do the research necessary to survive in the online money making industry. They settle for their full-time jobs, go back to playing World of Warcraft, or start surfing the internet again for free porn. They don’t understand what it takes to have a successful Adsense blog or don’t have the stamina to follow this through.

Look, if you follow Court’s crystal clear instruction and Griz’s honest advice, if you put forth the effort to build websites that are search engine optimized to draw Google to you, and then you are going to make money.

Pay the buck and sign up for The Keyword Academy. Buy yourself several domains, a hostserver, and start pounding away at that content while building your backlinks.

The key is all adds up. It keeps piling on top of itself, every day you get a little more accomplished, pretty soon you start submitting articles everywhere, pretty soon you’re trying to race Mark at the 100 hubs in thirty days challenge, pretty soon your Adsense blogs begin gathering traffic, and pretty soon money shows up in your Google Adsense account.

And life becomes happy again.

But you got to learn to run the long con first.

Build Your Adsense Blog Portfolio

In the last week I have purchased eight domains. By the beginning of June, I shall have ten. I hope for twenty by July and I don’t even have a job or any real income. What I do have is a PayPal account and several ways to make quick money online.

I call this my “petty cash” system. There are several techniques out there to make real daily money to help finance your sites while you wait to make money with Google Adsense. One, through the use of Project PayDay, you can make several hundred dollars over a few days, or even in a day if you want to take time away from building your Adsense blogs. Project Payday will introduce you to incentivized freebie websites where with very little cost you can buy in on a referral system where people pay you to help finish their referrals for Ipods and Playstation 3. You have seen these ads in your spam folder from time to time. Well, the truth is that they are real, but require a bunch of hoops to jump through.

Well, it seems like there are a lot of people willing to pay for your help with this endeavor. incentivized freebie websites are not a long term source for income for those who want to make real money, but you get paid immediately. You can then use that money to purchase new domains for your Adsense blogs.

Another source of income is to write for other websites. A lot of people who start to make money with Adsense blogging begin to outsource their articles, paying an average of 3 to 5 dollars an article. There are several websites that cater to this growing freelance market and I am currently reviewing which ones I find that are decent.

Discover Brand Recognition

Entrepreneurs like Tyler Cruz, Courtney Tuttle, and Grizzly did not start out as known experts in the field of making money online through Adsense blogs. These bloggers learned their craft, put out honest content, and gained a reputation for being great at understanding how to make money online. This didn’t happen overnight. It happened from giving a great product and generating a solid trust in the make money online community. This will not happen overnight.

Remember, your actions speak louder than words. While social networking will not get you your CPC clicks, it will get your popularity raised, or lowered by just how you deal with others in your community. So, you finally build an Adsense blog that ranks over four and others are asking you for help getting them some juice. They are also people who read your articles on Hub Pages and Squidoo and help drive your popularity up so you can attract real search engine clicks. So, how you treat others is important in the Adsense blog world.

The Long Tail, The Long Post, and The Long Con

When building your Adsense blog website, you only think in the short term. You write short articles, design short keywords, and expect money to come in the short run. Well, over at Griz’s websites, he talks in depth of the value of having rambling posts, about the value of long tail keywords, and the need to develop perfect backlinks. This is all necessary to run the long con when targeting keywords for your Adsense blog.

As Grizzly talks about on his pages about making money online with Google Adsense, you have to learn the best way to lead Google back to your pages and let them determine what your site is an authority on.

So What Is My Point?

My point is that this is my new area to post in that follows what I learned from Grizzly about running a long con on my Adsense Blog For Beginners website. The new blog post is going to be a place where I ramble about my experience developing Adsense blogs while at the same time trying to generate those key keyword searches.

So if you want to follow my musings, then this new category about Adsense blogging was made for you.

Isn’t he worried about us stealing his keywords and topping him?

To those things I say, “Pish posh. Ratta matta poo.”

Well, not really.

The truth is I believe in the capitalist spirit and don’t mind if you steal my work. I hope you do make a million dollars off of what I say. I feel the only way for this Adsense blog to be successful is to pull down the curtain and show you everything that I have done. Plus, I don’t even know if what I am doing will work. So, if you steal my ideas and they fail, then I have a few partners in my misery.

Look, I got into the Internet back when it was mostly a place to share information freely and I still believe in those ideals. I feel that if you put information, pictures, movies, and content online, then others have the right to borrow it and make their own destiny from your works.

But, anyway, let’s get back to day three of my adventures trying to make money with Adsense blogging.
So, you remember my girlfriend’s sister’s boyfriend, right?

Well, we will call him John from now on.

John came into the back room and gave me some great ideas for keywords, mostly relating to dogs. So I ran a bunch of dog-related keywords up the Google flagpole, and came back with some decent hits.

One that interested me was Guard Dogs. When I searched for Guard Dogs on Google, I came back with a good chance to place in the top five. Hell, I might even place top dog, but I am still new at this and will be happy for now to just place in the top five. I figure when I get some websites under my belt that are producing, then I can set my sites at some higher competition.

So the keyword search for Guard Dogs, after I put in the formula and did my SEO search, was greenlighted at around a hundred bucks a month in potential revenue.

Cool, I found my first targeted Adsense blog.

Hey, Crowbar, you ask, what the Hell do you know about dogs?

Not too much. But I live with two dogs and John knows a lot about breeds, so it’s a start.

Look, the main thing about these keywords is that you do not need to be an expert. There is plenty of information on the web for you to write a few decent articles to get started. For right now, we are just trying to find a profitable keyword and get a domain.

So I went back to Court’s Crash Course Manual and watched the videos again about buying a domain. I ran a few ideas through Proud Domain’s Domain Search and came back with www.guarddogsguide.com.

First Major Rule, gang, is you got to have the keywords in the name. You can’t be fancy and call it Inthedoghouse.com or Dothesedoggiesbite.com because we are in the keyword search business.

If your keyword is not in the name, then you already lose. Period.

Well, maybe not, but I am not arguing with Court. He has made 3500 in one month off of a keyword. So listen to him, already!

So now I have a domain and I’m ready to start making money with Google as an Adsense blogger.

Well, not yet. I need a damn host now.

But that’s for tomorrow.

Ground Zero.

At the frigging beginning, man.

Well, in the world of blogging and especially Google Adsense blogs, Courtney Tuttle is king. Learn that name. Say it ten times really fast and when you count sheep at night, count Courtney Tuttle instead.

Do I know Courtney Tuttle? Nope. Never heard of him before last week. But, since Sunday, he is all I live and breathe.

I don’t know how I discovered his websites or what I was really looking for, but I think that is why he has so much significance. I was not really looking for an internet plan to make money with a Google Adsense blog and Courtney was not out there trying to get my money. In fact the only thing he has gotten from me is a buck, and a well spent buck it was.

Over the last few years I have blogged for other people’s sites and have some name recognition, but none of this has earned me a dollar. Well, I once earned sixteen dollars doing book reports and that money was on my PayPal account and it is with that money that I paid Court and bought my first domain. But where was I?

Right where I wanted to be.

You see, it was that easy to get started. I jumped in with the couple of bucks I had floating around the internet anyway.

The point is that building an Google Adsense blog didn’t start out with a master plan but just a curiosity to how people are making money out there. “Hey,” I said to myself “Let me in on this crap. I want to make money, too.”

So, I ended up at Court’s Internet Marketing School and started down my path to internet riches.

I still haven’t made more than that sixteen dollars in al my time on the web, but it has only been a week. My faith is still strong.

I say, if you want to start learning about making money with Google Adsense blogs, I would visit his website. Court has broken everything down to easy to follow instructions that anyone, I mean anyone can follow. There is nothing hard to what he does and he has a video series that teaches you the basics. He doesn’t show you some quick, get rich formula, but a simple, hard work driven program that anyone willing to follow up on his techniques can make money.

I know, I know. I haven’t made a dime with his method yet, but I haven’t put in the hard work. But a week ago, I had no idea what a keyword search was, how to evaluate sites for potential earnings and simple things like how to buy a domain and host a website. Court teaches you all these things and doesn’t ask for a dime. He will even respond to comments if you have a question.

Gang, I stayed up all night on Sunday watching his tutorials, and then woke up early Monday to finish watching the rest at The Keyword Academy. I was waiting for the catch, the hook that sunk everything as some scam, but there was none. I did pay a dollar to join The Keyword Academy, but it was a dollar well spent. I have learned more valuable information about the internet in general in week, than in all the years I have surfed the web. Hell, I even learned some new things about Excel.

My point is that if you are serious about a future in Adsense blogging, then the best place to start is with Court’s Internet School of Marketing.

What you waiting for, ya yahoos. Get going right now!
