HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH YOUR BLOG

Monetizing Your Blog
In my personal opinion, if you have given the effort to read this eBook to this point, chosen to implement the tools and systems provided; then you should take my advice and turn your blog into a commercial enterprise.
Maximize your R.O.I., I know you think you don’t have an R.O.I. to be concerned about, but you do. You have invested your time into building your blog and you should make it profitable. The opportunity is there so why not create income with it? Search engines favor websites that are updated regularly, have great content, and blogging regularly is a great way to make sure that your content is always fresh. The effort of maintaining your blog will be easy to do if your blog is generating additional income.
One of the best ways to monetize your blog is by incorporating Adsense, this advertising program works within any blog and it can generate a lot of money for you. Adsense shows ads along side your blog which are compatible with the topic you have written about. To get started with Adsense, go to www.adsense.com and sign up for your free account.
You then choose what type of ads you want displayed on your blog. Adsense is a cost per click advertising program, which means that every time a visitor clicks on an ad shown on your blog you get paid. Cha-ching!
Google does not disclose exactly how much you earn for each click before you sign up, but you can track your earning daily, once you have started running Adsense and calculate how much you are making per click.

I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the book. If you do the above steps, rest assured that your blog will receive lots of unique traffic and you’ll be generating income in no time.
