Hey Mickyweju, Get a few more posts under your belt and then post the sites in the review section of the forum and maybe you can get some help from someone. Just a thought.
True words of advice. The average Adsense newbie hasn't got the patience required to make a success out of Adsense. They are unaware of the background work required. I guess there are a lot of 'get rich quick' sites, ebooks etc out there to delude many Adsense newbies. I'm not sure that they are completely at fault. I guess what they need to do research about Adsense to gain a more balanced view of what the scheme is all about.
couldn't agree more. if anyone wants to make large amounts of money from adsense then need to treat it like a full time job. 95% of people don't make any meaningful amounts of money with adsense and they are perplex to why they aren't making money. the main reason is that those who are making money work so much harder than they do. Making money online is so competitive nothing is going to get handed on a plate to you.
i don't think there is a relax point. when you relax and stop updating or re-freshing your site, it gets old, stale or irrelevant. so if you stop, then I think it all stops. Maybe when you want to stop working on your site, time to sell and let someone else continue the work. Agreed on the dedication and hard work, nothing is easy.
bleh..adsense is all about probabilities...the more traffic you have the more chances you have ppl click the ads by mistake (yeah, nobody clicks the ads because they want to...)
Discipline and self motivation ... these are very very important in this "industry" Treat it like a 9 - 5, but one that you enjoy doing, and you should do well in it!
When I first started someone told that the first $1 would be the hardest $1 you'll ever make. The first $100 will be BY FAR the hardest $100 you'll ever make. AND. The first $1000 will be the easiest $1000 you'll ever make. It's true and awesome at the same time! However, you must not quit once you're worn out from getting a $100 check after 6 months of work. lol. Also, remember, that you can create your own luck by working hard. The harder you work the luckier you'll get! (wow did I have enough cliche's in this post?)
Yes you did the cliche perfectly. What you said is true and I can feel it already even though I haven't made my first 1000 USD yet.
Very true. Take it as another business. you need good quantity and quality content you need to rank no 1 and if u use any other blackhat way then it wont last long you need content and serp thats what is going to bring you adsense money
It'll come if you keep on working hard.... then when you hit the 1000 don't lay around waiting for the other checks to pile in keep on building and you'll see bigger checks!
Yet another cliche', no good things come easy. Damn, 12 months, I have my blog only at 2 months and it's getting 1 cent a day. , gotta keep working.
I second or third that vote. Adsense is a fools game really. I got burned for over 1200 dollars that I worked very hard for and REFUSE to even consider dealing with Google again.... EVER!
Thanks guys for all your feed back. The eBooks and expensive "show you how to do it all in one package" packages make it seem like a one hitter quitter. Dedication is something I'm experienced in. I look forward to more conversations. Peace http://www.ebonyhealthstore.com
Lol, I really laugh at the cliche' template that marketers do with selling their ebooks along with testimonials and all that.
Ye, not everyone have the same luck. Why would you have 1200 USD in your Adsense account though? Or did I miss something?
Aside from dedication, I think a certain mindset shift is necessary to really make it. The game is only hard if you really don't want it that badly. For me, the hours I sit writing copy, building sites, and connecting with people that understand content/product creation are far more enriching to me (not just financially speaking, I'm talking about personal satisfaction here!) than other things I've done before - like cleaning mold out of buildings, or loading/unloading trucks all day. There are harder jobs out there than flexing brainpower, and I remember that everytime I gripe about things not flowing fast enough. I can wait for the river because I'm keeping the pipeline full in the meantime Isa
