How You Can Make Serious Money Self-publishing With Adsense
By Christopher Kyalo, Sat Dec 10th
Some folks may think that self-publishing began with theinvention of the PC (personal computer) and others may beconvinced that it has really taken off with the arrival ofAdsense.
It is important to understand what self-publishing is and its’enormous potential to fully appreciate and indeed take advantageof Adsense. Actually self-publishing (the act of producing andmarketing your own writing) is as old as America. It is anAmerican tradition that is very much part and parcel of theAmerican dream. Ben Franklin was one of the first Americans toself-publish and many others have followed since. Mark Twain’sHuckleberry Finn was self-published. As was Ulysses, LadyChatterley’s Lover and the Tarzan series amongst a host of otherpopular classics that would never have existed without theauthors ignoring publisher’s rejection lips and taking the boldstep of publishing their own work.
There are thousands of other examples from recent times that wecan mention here but the point is that a few importantdevelopments in recent times have only helped to fuel the powerof self-publishing but did not trigger off this revolution. Thepersonal computer put a very powerful publishing tool on thedesktop for the first time allowing the easy setting of type anddesign for publishers at a tiny fraction of what is costpreviously.
Then the World Wide Web came along and proved to be manywonderful things to a self-publisher. They could use it topromote their work and sell millions of copies of theirself-published work all over the world. Suddenly there was noniche that was too small to be viable. Then the Internet couldalso be used to publish online at a cost that was very close tozero.
Still, as wonderful and revolutionary as these developmentswere, none of them comes anywhere near what Google Adsense hasdone for self-publishers world-wide. Understanding this willopen your eyes and enable you to fully cash in using Adsense asan key part of your online self-publishing efforts.
With Adsense, Traffic Does Not Matter In OnlineSelf-publishing, As Much As Relevance And The Right Well-payingKeywords
I often wonder if those guys at Google fully understood theimpact of what they were doing when they decided to open Adsensefor smaller sites and with very little traffic. Sure, theymust have done it knowing that it would have an impact on theirbottom line, but did they know that it would start an onlinerevolution with far-reaching effects and impact? I doubt it.
You will already be aware of the fact that thousands of onlineconcepts were dead in the water as far as making a profit onlineand this situation has been changed dramatically by Adsense.
Now anybody with a site online can apply to Adsense to carrytheir ads and within no time, the new revenue stream will beputting money into their pockets. You will of course need to doa lot of work to get to use the highest-paying keywords forevery content written for your site. But the really exciting bitfor online self-publishers is the fact that even a few visitorsevery day, clicking on high-paying Adsense ads will earn themlots of cash.
But let’s be extremely careful here because Adsense rules do notencourage folks to start web sites or with the soleintention of making money from Adsense ads. And if truth betold, anybody who does this is leaving a lot of easy money onthe table.
Why It Is Important To Combine Adsense With Other ProfitCenters In Self-Publishing
