the past few months! The method which I will soon prove effective, and

will be introducing you to is really a totally common concept – Blogging!

 

Why Blogs?

You must be wondering how can blogging actually earn me (or You)

residual income! Indeed, blogging alone is just a concept on its own.

However, looking at blogs from a renewed perspective, blogging has

become a norm for many, with over a million blogs dominating the

Internet today. With the advancement of technology, almost everyone

has access to the Internet, and more specifically, your blog! This actually

means that it is easy for you to make connections with fellow bloggers

and readers, and there will definitely be a massive audience for your

blog to cater to!

 

Opening Your Door To Earn Passive Income

Though there may be many various purposes of blogging, be it penning

down your daily thoughts, or providing educational resources online per

se, yet many overlook the possibility of blogging as your door to earning

passive income! The best thing is that managing a blog is simple, fun,

and almost effortless!

And Yes, this is what this whole guide will be all about — teaching you

right from the very basics, every single step from building up your blog,

to reaping in the cash! Believe me, even you can start earning passive

cash today, and you know why?

 

Because I have done it! And I’m here to prove it to you, and teach you

how!

 

How Google Adsense Can Provide Residual Income Through Your Blog

 

In this guide, I will be showing you the tips and tricks in utilizing Google

Adsense to help you earn fast cash through blogging.

 

I chose to use Google Adsense, because I knew I was actually

leveraging on Google’s reknowned brand and power. Google, being a

professional company, definitely ensures that all the companies that it

advertises for are reputable and established as well, and thus, people

will trust the links and advertisements that Google provides on my blog!

Also, it is proven that amongst all the other ads on a site, Google

Adsense ads have the highest CTRs! It is also interesting to note that

the ads are easily customizable, as you can choose the colors and types

of the ads to accommodate the layout or themes of your blog!

 

Basically, Google Adsense works by matching ads with specific

keywords in your blog’s content. There will be ads produced on your

blog pages according to where and how you choose to place the ads. As

Adsense operates by a PPC (pay-per-click) mode of payment, you will

earn whenever a visitor of your site clicks on the ads! As such, if you

were to combine well optimized Google Adsense ads with high volumes

of incoming traffic to your blog, this will mean that you will be receiving

monthly residual income!

 

Setting Up Of Your Blog

Now that I’ve got you excited, do take a look at this website,

aboutTeas.com, that I had previously owned. It looks neat, simple and

engaging right? To tell you the truth, it took me only about 5 days to get

the site all started up and functioning with unique articles.

 

In my opinion, the hardest part of every successful business is always

the initiation process, as it will require much time, effort, and perhaps

startup costs, to overcome.Yet, if you are willing to put in the hard work,

you will eventually find yourself reaping the seeds that you have sown,

and that managing the blog would be relatively easy after all!

 

As such, using this model of mine, I’m going to guide you through the

startup process as well, and teach you how to set up an efficient blog

like mine!

Choosing A Suitable Niche

Before setting up your site, you will first need to decide on a suitable

target niche to tap into. To help you with this, there are certain key

factors that you ought to take into consideration.

 

Target Audience

Ask yourself this: Whom do you plan for your blog to cater to? To help

you with this, You can first decide on a broad niche, such as health,

finance or gaming, before zooming in on a specific target group. In my

case, I chose to target the health niche, before deciding to start an

educational blog about teas. As such,  my main specific target audience

are tea appreciators and drinkers.

 

Level Of Competition

Being in an overcrowded niche could lead to a small and new blog like

yours being phased out overtime. However, having many competitors in

the same niche might not necessarily be a bane for your site. In fact,

you might actually use these competitors to your advantage. Knowing

that there are many different sites and blogs providing information about

teas as well, I decided to build and establish connections with several

webmasters. As a result, I was able to leverage on the success of

several established tea sites, and climbed to the top of Google Search

Page for the keywords “about teas” !

 

Using Google Adwords Tool 

This should be the core factor that determines the niche market that you

are going to venture into. Google Adwords Tool provides you with

knowledge on the volumes of searches and the level of competition for

specific keywords. It is perhaps more favourable to focus on a keywords

that have large volumes of searches, and lower levels of competition.

The results are shown as local monthly and global monthly searches.

Because Google is just one search engine, I usually multiply the

numbers I see by a factor of three to cover the remaining 76,548 search

engines out there.

 

Do take note to always check the “Exact” box on the bottom left corner

to ensure the accuracy of the search results. You will see that when this

box is checked, the search number is typically much smaller than the

initial default results.
