Hello, I am experience DP member here doing SEO related work, more than 1 year. But I am totally noob regarding Website, blogspot blog and adsense.. I Don't earn much, but earning a little amount which I use for paying bills and other my expenses.. Now thinking to start earnings from adsense using blogspot blogs... My plan is to make blogspot blogs, with good niches like seo or health... And will post 3 to 4 articles a week... Now I am confused, will blogspot blog will make me earn atleat 100$ a month by above conditions? Will three to four articles a week work?? I also thought to do some SEO work on these blogs, like forum posting, blog commenting, social bookmarking, pinging, submission and all that....... DO you guys think it will work? Because I have read so many testinomials and complaints that blogspot blogs are no longer used by professionals to earn money from adsense, is that right?? People are always suggesting me to buy a domain and hosting.. OK, if I bought a domain and hosting is thier a guarantee (I'll do everything as mention above) that I will make atleat 100$ a day??? Gurus and experience dp members who are managiing adsense are welcome for suggestions.. I am confused...Hope you guys will suggest me some good points.. Thanks in advance...
I think it's going to be hard to do what you are describing and make good money unless you are exceptionally talented and dedicate a great deal of time and energy to this. You describe yourself as a noob, which is going to make it even tougher, because the first months you'll just be figuring out how to do stuff effectively, so it may be some time before your efforts start to even pay off. Also, I'd question what you describe as "good niches". A good niche is an area in which you have expertise, in which there is currently a dearth of good sites. SEO and health are highly saturated niches; both areas are highly competitive. In the area of health, you're working in an area with outstanding government sites like the NIH, and major players like WebMD and the Mayo Clinic, which have articles on virtually every topic. And then there are hundreds of well-established blogs in these topics as well. Unless you have some sort of unusual knowledge or experience, you're never going to create a site that will get anyone's attention. There have got to be better niches for you personally. What is something that you are interested in that is a little more unusual? What are some things that people search for online, that are not as competitive, an area that you know about where there aren't really many good blogs or websites?
Keep in mind that blogging is hard. If you have no concept of blogging then first try making blog at blogger and start posting articles. 3 to 4 articles per week are too less! You should post minimum of 2 articles daily. After 6 to 7 months when you are adept at posting articles and generating traffic buy a web hosting and a domain for professional blogging. How much will you earn depends how much time you give to blogging. By the way Making $100 per month is easy and making $100 per day is hard. Keep struggling. One day you will succeed.
I think otjutt gives good advice with the exception of it being necessary to post a lot. Quality is more important than quantity. You can crank out 50 posts and have none of them really resonate with anyone...you promote them, people view them briefly, don't read them, or read them and don't like them, and close the window. On the other hand, you write one post that resonates with people, that they find useful, and they're suddenly sharing it on twitter, writing about it on your blog, submitting it to stumbleupon and digg, and people like it so they vote it up and it goes viral, next thing you know, the traffic to your blog jumps by a factor of 100. I've seen this happen, both on a small scale and on a very large scale. One thing to consider, if you post very frequently, this will discourage subscribers. Personally, I only subscribe to blogs that have a very high portion of posts that are relevant; if I have to filter through 10 posts to get to 1 I want to read, I'm not going to subscribe to the blog. And I subscribe to a large number of blogs and I don't mind adding more. But posting a lot can give you some sense of what people like or want. So it really depends on how you want to operate. I've found that posting a lot works well if your topics are time-sensitive and they're the sort of thing that people will be very interested in when you post them, and will never want to read again (or find through search engines). But if you are writing on more timeless topics, you want to put more care into each post, and also spend more time promoting them and helping people to discover them. I've even had good luck issuing press releases through sites like prlog.org whenever I write a post that I've put a lot of effort into. If it takes me 2 hours to write a post, I'll spend the extra 10 minutes to write a press release. If you want an example, here's a press release about my blog post about working hard vs. working intelligently. The press release immediately generated 70 or so views within a 48 hour period and had a pretty high click-through rate, and I did not spend any time promoting or sharing the press release. Sometimes when I do press releases I get even more views.
