Magazine publishers seem to draw all the glory, so why not become one? Have you considered Google AdSense? One way to look at the Google AdSense program is that Google manages and monetizes your online magazine articles. I know, you’re saying you don’t have an online magazine, but this is simply a matter of semantics. Do you have a website?
The concept behind Google AdSense and the way it works is very simple. All you need to do is find the Google AdSense page and sign up for a publisher account. Next, check your inbox for an email from Google, it will probably be accepted and the email will tell you exactly what you need to do to start showing Google AdSense. Basically, you log into a central area that will systematically guide you on how to create and set up your own AdSense ad, then take a snippet of code to paste into your website.
If you don’t have a website, start one, and you’ll essentially be building your online magazine. Fill it with the content that interests you: surfing, fishing, cooking, weddings, etc. Businesses want to sell to passionate buyers and people are passionate about many topics, find one and start writing about it. It doesn’t get better than this, that is, creating an online magazine on a topic you love can make a lot of money.
Where you place your ads on your web page is very important, in fact, Google can show you where to place your ads. You’ll find a variety of ad sizes that you can work with. AdSense has been around for a while and there’s been a lot of testing, size matters and these experts have found that the big rectangle below the headline but above the story converts better. You always need to test these things yourself. The test involves placing ads of various sizes in different places on your website, and then tracking them to see which ones get the most clicks. The more clicks, the more money!
The colors of your AdSense ads can be manipulated and will make a big difference in your online magazine, most webmasters try to match the color scheme of their web page. The goal is to make the AdSense ad look like it’s part of the magazine. This will give the impression that the ad is part of the content of the magazine or website and not a blatant ad.
The goal is to be successful with your AdSense ads, which means getting a lot of clicks on your ads. This means that you have to focus on those passionate people we are talking about, you have to keep them interested in your content. If we compare this to a newsstand magazine, we can see that the more magazines in circulation, the better sales you will get from your magazine ads. This in turn determines the cost of the ad and the same goes for your online magazine. The more visitors visit your website, the more chances they have to click on your ad and the more money you will earn!
An online magazine has a great advantage over a paper magazine. As you publish your articles online, you can leave them published. If you don’t remove them, your online publication will increase in size over time and will eventually be considered an authority site. An authority website is always flooded with traffic! To state the obvious, the more pages that are displayed with Google AdSense, the much higher your chances of getting your ads clicked.
You might want to email the Google AdSense folks if you have any questions. The AdSense support group gladly shares the rules and regulations of the AdSense program. It would be wise to study these rules and understand them. Many AdSense marketers have lost their AdSense account and any money in the account along with their website’s page rank. If you think you can game the system and cheat the rules, don’t try it. Did you know that one of the rules of Google AdSense is that you must have a privacy policy page on your site? Failing to do so will put your site at risk, so make sure all of your sites have a page that describes what you do with the information you collect.
The Internet is like the “Great Electronic Test Tube” that has allowed people of all backgrounds, shapes, sizes, ages, and values to start their own home business and then grow it into a niche business. YouTube has entered the scene and now allows anyone to produce a short film and place it in a medium that can be viewed by millions. Now you can be a film producer. AdSense opens up many possibilities to create a good income alternative for anyone willing to learn and put in the effort. Why not start your own online magazine publishing business today! All from the confines of your own home, all you need is your computer, internet connection, and a screen!
A word of warning. Maybe I should call it a tip for success. When you receive your “AdSense Welcome Email”, please read it carefully to fully understand the Program Policies.
