Adsense Earnings with ONLY 10 Blog Posts in 12 Months – 5 Steps
Why do I like Adsense and other display
ads for monetizing websites?
It’s simple. Display ad monetization frees me up to publish on any
topic and still generate revenue.
Don’t get me wrong, I like affiliate marketing (and generate a decent income
from it), but let’s face it, pre-selling affiliate offers works best with specific
types of content such as reviews, product comparisons, tutorials and case
studies (to name a few pre-selling types of content). I do this too, but
there’s only so much of it I care to do.
Moreover, pre-selling content rarely has potential for viral traffic.
Once you remove the shackles of earning only from affiliate offers and
embrace display ads, a whole new publishing model opens up… one that you can
have a LOT of fun with attracting millions of visitors who love your site.
Breaking even can be the catalyst for a million dollar business
Even if you break-even with display ads, if you build an email newsletter
with your site, you build a list for free. That said, I avoid breaking
even; I profit from display ads (and still build lists).
Seriously, think about the big picture here.
When you set up a site with content that people share and you end up
profiting or breaking even with display ads (using paid traffic to the site),
there’s really no limit to how much traffic you can attract very, very quickly.
More traffic = more email subscribers, more affiliate promotions, more
display ad revenue, more Facebook fans, more revenue from other ad networks
(many require minimum monthly page views). In other words, traffic
creates opportunity.
The following are the basic steps I took to earn vast sums of display ad
revenue, get nearly XXX,XXX Facebook fans and attract thousands of email
subscribers in 8 months (imagine the numbers after 3 years).
6 Steps to a high-traffic, high profit blog (with only a few blog
posts):
1. Create excellent content for a large, but specific audience
You know what’s great about being a website publisher?
I get paid to surf the web and check out my favorite sites. What I
mean by this is when I visit other sites, even sites I visit for fun and
information, I analyze them while enjoying them. I get great ideas from
other popular sites that have resulted in a lot of profits.
One thing I’ve noticed is that I’m not the only niche site publisher using
paid traffic. Many popular sites with millions of visitors per month (or day)
spend fortunes on paid traffic. Do you think they became the behemoths
they are from organic search traffic? Nope. They use paid traffic
and ads to get the ball rolling. Yes, even viral-style sites like
BuzzFeed.com uses paid ads (I’ve seen their
ads).
If you want publish an authority site with piles of unlimited traffic, you
need to buy traffic. In order to buy traffic, you need to be very smart
about your monetization. It’s that simple.
The key is publishing content that earns and is shared. Once you do
this, you’ll have plenty of traffic.
2. Optimize display ads (i.e. Adsense ads)
Being smart about your monetization means you need to at the very least
break even with your paid traffic and then profit from your email newsletter
and/or Facebook fans.
While I attract Facebook fans and email subscribers, I make sure I profit
from paid traffic. It’s a tremendous profit stream for me. Revenue
from organic Facebook traffic and my email newsletter is extra.
How do I set up my display ads?
While there are many (pretty much unlimited) ad placement formulas, I’ve
developed a strategy that works very well.
. Set up a Facebook page
While I wouldn’t rely on all of your traffic from organic Facebook page
postings, it sure can be a nice source of bonus traffic. The interesting
thing is I repeatedly post links to the same URLs on my blog over and over and
over and they continuously send traffic. I do post links to many other
posts too, but it’s amazing how each month you can promote your best earning
(and most viral) content over and over and over with success.
3. Ensure you make sharing your content easy anywhere on your website
A big part of profiting from paid traffic is turning paid traffic into free
traffic. The best way to do this is to get visitors to share your
content.
This requires 2 things:
a. Publish content that has a very high propensity to be shared.
This may take a bit of trial and error, but as you can see from the
Adsense revenue screenshot above, it doesn’t take many posts to generate a lot
of money.
b. Provide plenty of sharing buttons
on your site. I use Shareaholic for the floating left-side sharing
buttons.
4. Add more ad networks to your site: Media.net and Amazon CPM ads
Don’t just settle with Adsense. If you do, you’re leaving a lot of
money on the table. In addition to Adsense, I use
Media.net
ads and recently added
Amazon
CPM ads to my niche sites. Together
Media.net and Amazon CPM ads alone generate
$400 to $600 per day in revenue.
There are many ad networks you can use. Hunt around. Also, if
affiliate and/or CPA offers convert, use them too.
While I don’t advocate making your site nothing but ads, if you publish
extensive and high quality content, there’s plenty of space for some serious
monetization.
I certainly don’t fall into the camp that’s scared to place ads on a site.
5. Buy Traffic
I mentioned it above… most popular, high profit blogs and websites buy
traffic.
These days there are so many low-cost, high-quality traffic sources.
My 3 favourites are native advertising (a.k.a. syndication advertising
such as Outbrain), Facebook ads and Bing Ads. Yes, I send this traffic to
regular blog posts and still earn a profit.
The fastest way to creating a popular site with plenty of traffic is buying
traffic… but it must be done in a way so that you break even or better yet,
profit. Once you get your paid traffic running smoothly, there’s no limit
to how much traffic you can get to your site.
Even if you have a low 10% ROI on paid traffic with Adsense ads, you need
only spend $1,000 per day to make $100. But the residual profits are
better… you get Facebook fans, email subscribers, revenue from other ad
networks, brand exposure, loyal visitors who will visit again. This is
how you launch and publish a profitable niche site quickly (at least it’s one
way that works for me and many other sites).
