my WORK AT HOME TIPS

My wife is an avid fan of American Idol and she watch the show relentless. Aside from that she spend countless hours reviewing the opinions from fans about the performance of each contestant.

In today’s show there are about 38 million votes that came in. And this just the flock from the United States. I wonder if they have statistics for international viewers. What’s my point? 38 million viewers and they are also potential customers. Selling only a dollar to this followers will give you 38 million dollars. Well, this is only a rough estimate.

Itunes is selling 0.99 per download, you multiply that by the number of viewers then you have your gross sales. Impressive.

Perhaps this might be the computation done by the “ebook gurus” low price + sell it to the masses and there you have it “millionaire”.

Well, but one need to solve how are we going to reach the “million flock”.

Hmmm. Now this is one strategy to consider.

more power reaching our “million flock”.

by the way bye Carly -

Google has advised its publisher that there is new policy on being a publisher. If you are an existing adsense publisher you will see the new policy once you log-in to your account. You need to agree on this policy before continuing to log-in to your account.

One of the provision of the new google policy is adding a privacy policy page on every page that show google adsense. Thsi is easy if you own a relatively small number of websites. But owning a 100 sites is a different story. Anyway, if your website is based on Wordpress, there is a privacy plugin tool that you can easily use to easily add the privacy policy page.

You can find the plug-in here for free. Just install the plug-in and generate a PP Page and wallah, an instant privacy plug-in.

You can get the free plug-in on this web address: http://www.synclastic.com/plugins/privacy-policy/

more power to us.

In my previous article I introduce how to earn without spending a dime, however if you prefer to have a much higher profit then you should invest (time and money) by having your own domain name and hosting account.

One advantage of having your own domain is that the search engine can indexed your site faster unlike when you are hosting on a free domain. Secondly, if you are paying for your hosting account you can have more control over the scripts that you will installing.

Here is the breakdown of your initial investment:

1. Domain - $10.00 per year

2. Web hosting - $3-5 dollars per month.

3. Wordpress Blog system - free

4. Wordpress Plug-ins - free

The prices shall vary since there are a million domain registrant on the Internet.

In getting your own domain and hosting account, you may want to consider the Top companies in the industry:

1. Hostgator.com
2. bluehost.com
3. www.GoDaddy.com

Remember to get a hosting plan that supports PHP scripting. Wordpress only runs on PHP environment.

How to choose a domain.
Register a domain that has word according to your niche or website. For example if you will be establishing a website for children’s wear you can choose the following domain that has your keyword in it.

www.childrens-wear.com | www.childwear.com

If you domain is no longer available you can add a filler in the domain eg:

www.mychildrenswear.com | www.yourchildrenswear.com

Why is the keyword important in your domain? For the reason that it will add more points in your search engine optimization.

Install Wordpress
The next thing to do is install Wordpress on your server. You can go to Wordpress.org and download the latest release. I will skip the installation of Wordpress into your web host, you can find a lot of reference at the Wordpress website. If you still need further help in installing you may visit their help section.

Once you have installed Wordpress, go to the admin area and log-in to your account. Then go to the option menu and changed the Title and Description of your blog.

Include your primary keyword in the Title Tag while write your secondary keyword in the description area. Note that blog directories will reference your blog according to your title and description.

Post Content
Start writing post in your blog. You should populate your blog with as many “quality” content as possible. Put contents according to your target market. For example if you will be targeting on computers do not include contents about medicines. You may get some of your content from article directories like www.ezinearticles.com

Just remember that majority of the contents that you have put into your blog is not duplicated. Search engine will rank your site lower than that of a site having an original content. Always create value for your readers.

Put in the plug-ins.
Download the following plug-ins to optimized your Wordpress system. The plug-ins listed are free or under the GNU License.

FireStats - Tracks your visitors.

Google Sitemap Generator - Create a sitemap of your website.

SEO Title Tag - optimizing your Title tags

Ultimate Warrior Tags - create additional tags from your content.

Sociable - easily create buttons for your social bookmarking sites like delicio.us and technorati.

Refer to the respective website for their installation instruction.

Apply for your Google Adsense account
Now you have set-up your blog you can now apply for your google adsense account. In applying just go to http://www.google.com/adsense.

The approval of your account varies, sometimes it may take from 2 days to 2 weeks. Or Google may even decline your application if the website does not conforms to their standards.

Put your Adsense code in your blog
There are two ways to put your adsense code to your account: using the Adsense Deluxe Plug-in and using the 3-column lay-out of http://www.sapiensbryan.com/

I used the 3-column lay-out. It is much easier to change the Adsense code than using the plug-in, besides the code blends more with site that can lead to higher CTR.

Know your stats and feel free to experiment on your ad placement.

This conclude the tutorial on how to earn with Google Adsense using Wordpress. But you should not stop here there is still a lot to learn: driving traffic to you website, tracking your performance, link building, etc. I will be posting articles on those areas soon.

So you wanna earn without spending a dime either you want to try testing the water first before swimming or simply you just do not have enough money to spend. You might have also heard a lot of people started on the Internet business without spending a dime and end up millionaires, yes most of them ended up that way but not all.

In this article I outline the step by step procedure in earning (with google) without spending a dime. Of course you have to give something before being successful: your sweat and effort; little creativeness, passion, and have the right mindset in being successful.

Being a Google Adsense Publisher

This is the best introduction of what is Google Adsense (as defined by Google):

“Google Adsense is the program that can give you advertising revenue from each page on your website—with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.

AdSense delivers relevant text and image ads that are precisely targeted to your site and your site content. And when you add a Google search box to your site, AdSense delivers relevant text ads that are targeted to the Google search results pages generated by your visitors’ search request.”

You might be asking alright I want to be a google adsense publisher but I do not have a website, does this means that I still have to cash-out to maintain a website. This is the beauty of Google. They are giving away free blog hosting and google pages so that you can put your adsense code without spending a dime on web hosting services. Well, you have to pay for your Internet connection and the coffee while establishing the blog or site.

Here is the step by step::

1. Think of topic that you like or familiar with. Please note that when you are familiar with the Internet you can research for topics that has a paying keywords. I will be discussing this in another article.

2. Go to Blogger.com or Google pages and set up your own account.

3. Start putting in the contents or if you have chosen to blog, start blogging.

4. After you made your initial entries (maybe for starter 10 post will be suffice), start putting the google adsense codes by signing up to a google adsense account.

5. Start promoting your site. Participate in google groups, forums, yahoo groups, etc. By the way site promotion is one the essential components for your site to be successful.

6. Evaluate what you have done from Step 4 to 6. You may want to optimize your site (contents, promotion or SEO techniques,etc.)

7. If you are already earning a small amount in your first blog/site, create another one. Repeat step 2. The idea here is to be able to have a sustainable number of website. If your initial site is earning $10 per day, having 10 sites makes it $100 day. (of course sometimes, clicks only $.01, so you have to be patience).

Word of caution; do not click your own ads and do not make invalid impressions by refreshing your pages too much. In short do not try to cheat Google, they are smarter than you think. Always read the Terms of Agreement (TOS) or join Google Adsense Blog – in this way you can always be updated of new things about the system.

Will this article make you rich? Maybe or maybe not. Many who have come before us made spectacular income in Google Adsense, others have not. This article is just a tip of the iceberg and there is more a lot to learn like SEO techniques, getting quality content etc. You just have to do it one step at a time. Cheers to you! Happy earning!
