How I started earning through blogging♥

For those asking how I started earning in blogging.  Just a backgrounder: I started my blog in Friendster, then transferred to Multiply that was in 2005.  Before Multiply discontinued it's operations in May 2013, I am already starting my account in Blogger (which is known as Blogspot before) if I remember it right it was in 2006.  I started earning through Google AdSense in 2020.  As I have discussed on my previous post, it took 2 years before I reached the $100.00 threshold (to become eligible for payment). FYI, amount of threshold depends on your location or country, in my case here in the Philippines its $100.00.    

How to get Google AdSense?

If you are already a blogger or vlogger,   you can earn from your content by signing up at Google AdSense.  To sign up with Google AdSense kindly click on the link : Google AdSense sign up. But if you are a beginner you can also sign up with AdSense but for me it's better if you already have a website before signing up.

Once you entered your website the ads will automatically appear on your site, but remember your account should be verified in order to be paid.  You have to wait for the PIN that will be mailed to you by Google which takes around 2 to 4 weeks.  And keep in mind to enter the PIN right away once you have received it.

How to earn via Google AdSense?

Google AdSense matches the ads based on your content and visitors.  So all you have to do is to focus on creating a content and Google AdSense will do all the work. 

How to create content?

Honestly, its not easy to think of a content but I suggest start with something that really interest you.  As for me, I started with fashion.  I love styling and anything about fashion, then little by little I added other things that interests me.  Make your content very informative so your visitors will not only be entertained but also learn something from your blog.

How often should I update my blog?

As much as possible I try to upload a blog every week so your blog will be on an active state. 

How long will it take to reach the threshold?

Patience is a virtue.  Like what I have said, I got my first payment two years after I had Google AdSense.  Well actually it depends on your content.  But for me its okay since I never really expected that I will earn extra income by just sharing something online.

Here's an important REMINDER in blogging:  

NEVER ever copy somebody else's content, ideas, photos and the like.  If you want to incorporate things in your content you can "quote" the source or origin.  Remember always give credit to the owner.  

 

Hope you learn something from this!

Happy blogging or vlogging!
