How
You Can Make Serious Money Self-publishing With Adsense
Some folks may think that self-publishing
began with the invention of
the PC (personal computer) and others may be convinced that it has
really taken off with the arrival of Adsense.
It is important to understand what
self-publishing is and its' enormous
potential to fully appreciate and indeed take advantage of Adsense.
Actually self-publishing (the act of producing and marketing your own
writing) is as old as America. It is an American tradition that is very
much part and parcel of the American dream.
Ben Franklin was one of the
first Americans to self-publish and many others have followed since.
Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn was self-published. As was Ulysses, Lady
Chatterley's Lover and the Tarzan series amongst a host of other
popular classics that would never have existed without the authors
ignoring publisher's rejection lips and taking the bold step of
publishing their own work.
There are thousands of other examples from
recent times that we can
mention here but the point is that a few important developments in
recent times have only helped to fuel the power of self-publishing but
did not trigger off this revolution. The personal computer put a very
powerful publishing tool on the desktop for the first time allowing the
easy setting of type and design for publishers at a tiny fraction of
what is cost previously.
Then the World Wide Web came along and
proved to be many wonderful
things to a self-publisher. They could use it to promote their work and
sell millions of copies of their self-published work all over the
world. Suddenly there was no niche that was too small to be viable.
Then the Internet could also be used to publish online at a cost that
was very close to zero.
Still, as wonderful and revolutionary as
these developments were, none
of them comes anywhere near what Google Adsense has done for
self-publishers
world-wide. Understanding this will open your eyes and enable you to
fully cash in using Adsense as an key part of your online
self-publishing
With Adsense, Traffic Does Not Matter In
Online Self-publishing, As
Much As Relevance And The Right Well-paying Keywords. I often wonder if
those guys at Google fully understood the impact of
what they were doing when they decided to open Adsense for smaller
sites and blogs with very
little traffic. Sure, they must have done it knowing that it would have
an impact on their bottom line, but did they know that it would start
an online revolution with far-reaching effects and impact? I doubt it.
You will already be aware of the fact that
thousands of online concepts
were dead in the water as far as making a profit online and this
situation has been changed dramatically by Adsense.
Now anybody with a site online can apply to
Adsense to carry their ads and within no
time, the new revenue stream will be putting money into their pockets.
You will of course need to do a lot of work to get to use the
highest-paying keywords for every content written for your site. But
the really exciting bit for online self-publishers is the fact that
even a few visitors every day, clicking on high-paying Adsense ads will
earn them lots of cash.
But let's be extremely careful here because
Adsense rules do not encourage folks to start
web sites or blogs with the sole intention of making money from Adsense
ads. And if truth be told, anybody
who does this is leaving a lot of easy money on the table.
What Adsense has done, is introduce a
revenue
stream that helps a site focus more closely on its' niche subject, and
actually sets it up for success.
