2nd Cheque From Google

I received my 2nd cheque since participating in Google's Adsense program.

This 2nd cheque which was delivered on 24 Nov 09 is for the amount of S$160.72

Not really a lot but enough to buy me a few items I guess.

Earned $39.38 From Adsense For Oct 09

I earned slightly less than Sep 09.

Nevertheless, the month of Oct 09 has proved to be a fruitful source of passive income as I managed to earn slightly more than $1 a day from my various sites.

I have been pretty disorganised the past few weeks about my overall strategy of earning money online. I guess I need to focus on building a few more niche sites to generate more passive income as I realise that a large bulk of my income currently comes from only a few sites.

Tips to Increase Your Adsense Earnings

I have been thinking whether I should share some of the strategies on increasing adsense earnings.

I know many people have tried various methods.

I used to earn like $0 to $1 per month and now I am able to earn that same amount in a single day.

I am not too sure how many people need help with breaking that $0 barrier. I have walked that path before and I know how frustrating it can be to not earn any money at all. Some people get so frustrated that they stop trying altogether...

If you need help, do let me know by commenting below so that I know that there are people interested in finding out more..

I will then write a piece on how anyone can start earning some small money from their blogs.

Is Blogging A Viable Source of Income

Can blogging really earn you enough passive income such that you can work from home?

Let me explore the possibility today.

Take for example a blog that gets 500 page impressions with a click through rate of 1%. That will be 5 clicks for 100 pages impressions. Assuming that each click is only worth $0.20, the blogger will only be earning $1 per blog per day.

If the blogger somehow manages to increase his readership to 50,000 regular readers a day, that translates into a hundred fold increase in clicks and a hundred fold increase in earnings.

The expected amount he will be able to earn will be $100 per day.

However, one must understand that the possibility of creating a blog with 50,000 readers a day is very low. Thus, it is seriously unlikely that any blogger can achieve that within weeks if not months.

The best option is for one to slowly build up their blog over time and see whether they can get the results that they hope for.

Blogging for money is not as easy as it sounds and we should not be deceived by what we read on the net.

Just because somebody has done it and makes a 6 figure income from it does not mean that it is an easy task.

It most probably is much more difficult than you think.
