Okay. So you’ve been online for a while, you see so many websites, ads, posts, pages…you name it you’ve seen it…on how you can “make money from Google”. So what’s the deal? Can you really make money from the big G, and if so, HOW do you do it?
How To Make Money From Google
There are literally a THOUSAND ways to make money online, and to tell you there is one way to do it is just flat out lie. It takes a lot of trial and error to figure out how/what/when/why it all works the way it does. However, there is a way to make money from Google that is completely straightforward. It’s called Adsense. You may see websites claiming you can “siphon money from Google” or some other hyped up nonsense. I’m here to tell you – don’t fall into that pit. You’re not siphoning anything, and you’re not “stealing” anything from anyone.
The fact of the matter is Google is a search engine whose morals and values fall into the eyes of their customers – the users. Google’s primary goal is to achieve optimal user experience. In layman’s terms, Google just wants to make sure you and I and anyone else uses Google’s products are satisfied. Easy enough?
You actually CAN make money from Google, and the big G actually WANTS you to. Here’s how:
- You make a website or blog
- Sign up with Google Adsense, and then put some ads on your site
- When people visit your site and if they click on the ads, Google pays you.
I realize I dumbed it down a bit, and I hope you realize that it’s really not as easy as that. Simple? Yes. Easy? No. There is absolutely a tremendous amount of work involved and rules you have to follow. The policies of Adsense must be strictly followed or else your account could be disabled. It doesn’t take a genius to know that if you’re account is disabled you can’t make money. Cause and effect.
What is Adsense?
Okay so now you know HOW to make money from Google. Now I’m going to tell you WHY you can make money from Google.
Have you ever used Google’s search engine? When you’re looking for something in particular on the internet you can type in a search term or phrase, and then the search engine will kick back a list of all the different sites that search engine thinks is related to your search query.
Google has another product, called Google Adwords. This is for advertisers. People who want to advertise their sites or products on the internet can create an Adwords account and create advertising campaigns. Here’s an example (everything to the right are ads users have paid for):
Google Adwords is for people paying for advertising. Google Adsense is for people putting that advertising on their own sites. Google obviously doesn’t give you all the money from it. They run the ads and the platform for it all, and we allow an additional advertising space. Google pays us for that each time someone clicks on the ads. It’s certainly not a lot money, but if you have thousands of visitors come to your site, and a couple hundred click on those ads and you make .25 per click, that can add up. You could be making $5 a day. Sure, $5 a day isn’t much. But it’s definitely something. Drum that up a bit, create another blog, or drive more traffic to your site, you could up that to $10 a day…are you seeing how this could work?
It takes a LOT of work and a lot of time and patience to make money online. The most important thing is to not give up. Nobody will EVER make millions of dollars overnight, and if they told you they did, they’re lying. It takes work and dedication. And patience. Did I say that already?
So there you have it. That is (at least one way) how to make money from Google. Now you know.
