$1 per day: Get it from Google!

Do you have a blog? If not, you really should consider having one. The first thing that people ask about having a blog is this - “What will I write about?” Well to be totally honest, that is a decision for you to make! My best advice is this: Write about something that you are passionate about! Every one of us has different things that we are interested in, and you should choose one of the things that interest you as the topic of your blog.
Some people have very “general” blog sites. One day they write about the flowers they planted in the garden, the next day they write about a new factory being built in their town. A few days later they write a post about their kid’s school project. Frankly, these things are not related. Or are they? Well, I can think of one way that these could be tied together. Let’s say that you live in “Anytown, USA.” If you had a blog about what is happening in Anytown, USA, you could make these topics all tie together nicely. One day you write about what kind of plants and flowers are in season in Anytown, and how you just planted some in your garden. Next day, “Anytown is getting a new factory which will bring 10,000 new jobs.” A few days later, what is going on in Anytown Schools. But, if you can’t do something like this, it’s better to focus in on a certain area that interests you.
Let’s say you are an avid gardener. You can have a blog about gardening. Teach people like me, who know nothing about gardening, how to do it. Just write about gardening. Let’s say that you also have a passion for cooking. Well, start a different blog about cooking!
I’m going to assume that most of the readers of this site already have a website or blog, so you are halfway home. Do you have Google AdSense on your site? If you have even a half-busy site, you can make much more than $1 per day by using Google AdSense on your site! If you don’t have AdSense already, go to google.com/adsense and sign up! I’m not making anything from referring you, I just want to help you get started.
Your next step will be to set up a regular schedule for blogging. The more often you update your site, the more that people will come and visit. When people come and visit, there is more chance that they will click on your Google Ads, and when they click on an ad that interests them, you make money!
Congratulations… this could be your first step to checking off your assignment for this week: to come up with one new idea that will produce $1 per day for you!
See you tomorrow with more ideas.
Hi Bob. When people click on your Google ads is that the same as pay per click? This is something I would have to pay for depending on the amount of traffic correct? Thanks again, Tony
Hi Tony Grosse - Yes, Google ads are PPC (Pay per click). There is no cost that you have to pay for putting the ads up on your site. You just get paid every time that somebody clicks!
