A financial empire from your laptop! Can you believe it?
Computer and Internet let us to do things never imagined before. Who could imagine making millions just from a computer? Now it is not just your imagination its reality!
Where to start?
The fastest way: Advertising
Thousands of aggressive and furious merchants need you to deliver their ads to potential buyers. And guess what is the easiest way of doing this: Adsense.
Google makes a fabulous job when they keep and maintain the most successful Advertising Program ever created. You own a small simple website and you could never sell ads to advertisers the traditional way. Now you just need to put some Adsense ads on it. What could be simpler. Imagine this, you make a website, write a couple of pages, submit the domain to Google and all you have to do is to check your bank account to see when Google makes a transfer or when does the check arrives. It very simple. The best part of it is every person on earth can do it. No special knowledge required, no college required... Just imagination and a website.
Follow these steps:
1- Make a website or Blog. You can use a free service like blogger or freewebtown but for more professional ones you should get professional hosting.
2- Get traffic. You make a website but if nobody visits it it is the same as having no website. You should buy some cheap advertising first.
3- Sign up for Adsense. Once your website gets approved, congratulations you can start showing ads and making money!
Ok how much exactly can you make?
It really depends on a series of factors. The most important of all is eCPM, this means the amount of money your site makes for each 1000 visitors. If you have a 10$ eCPM this means you will make 10$ for every 1000 visits. How is the eCPM calculated? The official Adsense blog has the following formula:
eCPM = Total earning
- x 1000 = eCPM
Impressions
So for example, if you have a 10$ eCPM website and if you get 1.000.000 visitors per month, you will make 1000$ per month. Simple!
To increase the earnings of your website without having to get more traffic there are two things to remember:
1-> CTR is the % of clicks your ads get. The higher the CTR, the higher the earnings will be per 1000 visitors and also the eCPM will be higher too.
2-> Price per Click some ads are more expensive than other. You can expect to get from 0.01$ per click to 50$ per click. When designing your content keep in mind that some works are more expensive than others. A very good easy way for get more per each click is to use synonyms of words that are more popular and expensive. Get a list of high paying Adsense keywords. You can find lots of them on Google and for FREE.
If you manage to get a 100$ eCPM page, which is not an inhuman achievement, you can make 1.000.000$ with just 10 million visitors. Some websites get hundreds of millions visitors every month and they make more than 10$ eCPM pages. They really make lot of money. If you do not believe it, just take a look at the amount of ads they show on each and every page. Its crazy! But makes crazy money too!
Ok now just go and do it!
