A little AdSense story to inspire you

You know, you don't need to write wonderful things at all to earn money online, that's what is fun about it, it's not work.
One simple example, if you did post everything you wrote for school or your work in the time that you're trying to make money online, for every school project or exam, or any other meaningless thing. In fact anytime you write something on the computer, you could have put this online, there would always be someone, somewhere, searching for it online. That would create additional traffic to your pages.
Of course if you produce only content in your local language, then the earnings would have been way less than if your school/work requires content written in english. But that's fine too!

For instance, my current girlfriend came from china to france in 2006 for art studies, I met her there in my city, then I taught her to use computer to make website (she's not technical at all) and amongst sites she's done are:
- greetings cards
- emails about scam (you know, the rich dad who died and now the girl is looking for someone to help her transfert her millions of dollars, etc)

for greeting cards she just produce a simple graphic (which she can do easily by taking pictures and modifying them a little) then writing a little text. This she does for all occasions, valentine day, christmas, birthday cards, death, etc.
for scam she simply publish what she receives in her email and also have a contact form where people can send her scam email they receive, also there is a forum where people can discuss and alert themselves.
Both those sites receives thousands of unique visitors daily, she earns thousands of euros each month, in last december she earned over 10,000 euros (me even more)

You see, it doesn't require lot of things, she's still a simple chinese girl who doesn't know much about computers except what I taught her, but she can now install a new drupal site herself because I made her learn it as I don't want to create for her.

And by the way she did her two sites in french because she's not good at english and is more confortable with french since being my girlfriend she learned french quickly in bed
So you can see that writting in english is not even a requirement if you really don't feel confortable with it. but if you're like me, and can write broken english, without lots of spelling and gramatical mistakes, then don't hesitate to start also a site in english, nobody will mock you and even if they mock you it means they've been to your site, so that means traffic (= money)

So I hope this little story of mine will motivate you to multiply your online earnings. Don't plan on finding a job after your studies, enjoy your studies or your fulltime job if you have one now, but be sure that you can soon be your own boss and your own customer, no need to work for someone else or have to talk with other people for money. Your time should not be spent producing things for other people, but should be invested so that later on you can become even more lazy and be paid much more than any common job.

Cheers,

Thanks for this story, compatriote. However all traffic is not equal, and you still have to find a way to monetize it (be it with Adsense, affiliate products, your own products, etc). But that's definitly something I'll do with my kids: tell them to put their homework online in a way or another, so that they start earning their first bucks with Adsense.

 

Nice story... however it's not so easy like it seems, don't matter if you have brain to write tons of quality content, that's not all! I'm writing content for my sites and at least for me it's been very hard to get decent traffic. I don't know what of kind of magic some people makes to drive thousands of visitor with few marketing.

 

So the bottom line is put everything you do online. Somewhere someone is going to click on it. And if you put adsense ads, 1 out of 10 clicks can make you money.

 

Believe me, I never thought about it in this way. "Making your studies and making content at the same time to earn through adsense"

I going to start to study with all my friends lol... just kidding. But is is indeed a good idea...

This is a perfect idea to earn while you learn. Thanks for sharing!!!

 

Back links my friend. Pick up a good seo book or visit some seo blogs.

 

Scam emails are all over the Net. It's a good idea to publish them so people don't fall for the Scam. Well done!
