This is the first post in a series that will walk you through how you can monetize your blog.
Blogging is becoming an increasingly popular way for entrepreneurs to earn a living online while doing something they really enjoy. In many cases bloggers can profit with very little effort. There may be quite a bit of work involved in the beginning with designing a method of gaining revenue and promoting the website but once this is established simply maintaining the blog with regular postings may be enough to keep the revenue rolling in.

There are numerous ways to monetize your blog. We will start with the easiest today and work our way forward.

Make Money with Adsense and Blogging:

Adsense is the easiest way to start making some money from your blog. Whether you have a blogger or a hosted wordpress blog you can use adsense. Using AdSense is one of the most popular ways for bloggers to generate revenue from their blog. This method is so popular because it is also very simple.

AdSense is a program offered by Google where bloggers agree to have advertisements on their website and are compensated when users click on these advertisements. Bloggers simply have to create a blog and submit the website address of the blog as well as some other information to apply for participation in AdSense. Once a blog is approved the owner is given code they can simply copy and paste to have advertisements displayed on their blog. Google then serves appropriate advertisements each time the blog is accessed. Whenever possible, the advertisements served on the blog are closely related to the content of the blog because Google crawls the website ahead of time to determine which advertisements are relevant to the content.

Blog owners do have some ability to place restrictions on the types of advertisements which may appear on the blog. For example the blog owner can specify adult advertisements are not to appear on the blog and Google will filter these out.

If you have a wordpress blog it is easy to get adsense on your blog. You can simply install a plugin. It will allow you to choose where your ads show up, how many ads you show on your blog. It's very simple.

On a blogger blog you can just go to "layout" and under add a page element you will see an adsense element. Fill in your adsense code and you are good to go.

Adding adsense is the easiest way you can monetize your blog. If you are using adsense as a way to monetize your blog I'd love to hear from you. Let me know what your results have been in the comment section below.
