finally

after nights of contemplating whether my adsense application would be approved or not, my account was finally approved. not that its something big, but at least its a start as i can track changes and updates from here on.

i have been trying to get it right or at least get it done. but unfortunately, i cant seem to get it done right. i was starting to get frustrated. who wouldn't be? it's a simple application for adsense and i can't get it right. first i had postal address issues. i was using a new email address specifically for this task so i was thinking maybe because it was new. so i did some tinkering with my account and reapplied just to realize i will just get disapproved. so, i tried using my old email. i made sure i complied with the correct address format that they want. then my application was review status after that. then woolah! i just received an email just today stating that my application has been approved.

so i guess the next thing for me is start making contents for this blog. find ways generate more traffic and eventually, start earning a little more online.

blogging

i am starting to get a hang of blogging. not that i did not blog before, its just that now, i am trying to earn while i blog. mind you, i do have a permanent job. and it pays well and i have no complain so far. the reason why i want to earn while i blog is because i have my computer is connected to the web 24/7, 7 days a week. so instead of just leaving my computer connected, why not make the most of it. why not earn. i have read in some forums that some local individuals earn as much $500 to $700 a month through online marketing. now this is most likely not coming from a blog alone. i am pretty sure that individuals manage their own websites. one that is more inclined to online marketing and not just blogging. there are some bloggers who i know of that earn a pretty descent amount each month, around $5 - $10 a day. i say that is not bad.  i am pretty impressesd with that number actually. now having a job is one thing. but earning while doing something you are already doing, that is something else.

i admit i am barely even at 25 percent of the things that i still need to learn about blogging. specifically earning online. there are lots of tips out there on the internet, i just need more patience to read and thoroughly understand each one of them.

reading articles online

i have been trying to get a hang of blogging and been reading lots of articles on how to generate income and ways to make money online using your blog or writing articles. the work from home environment. i have read articles about the need to generate traffic for you site. that i understand why there is a need for it. the next question is, what do i need to do to generate that much traffic? there were some tips on how to create the much traffic needed for you site, but i did not realize it was a bit challenging. some might think that earning online is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3 but in reality, it is not. to be successful in this kind of business, you need to understand how everything works. making a blog is just the beginning, everything else is just starting. and did i say that generating traffic for your site is just one of the requirements you need to be successful in this field?

i guess there is no perfect guideline on what to do and how to do it but there are always tips here and there that you can easily find on the internet.
