Before the conceptualization of residual income, people would create blogs only to express their thoughts, ideas, opinions, and everything else under the sun and to share those with friends, colleagues, and random readers from around the world who log on to the internet.

Blogs were not thought of as a marketing tool to promote a business’s products and services until marketers  realized that blogs that receive a lot of traffic can actually convert the views into actual sales.  Aside from this, by having an effective advertising network like Google Adsense incorporated into one’s blog, you can already be able to earn money online by doing what you love: blogging.  Google Adsense is one of the most popular ways that people adopt when making money from blogging and believe it or not, it is actually quite easy to have Google ads displayed in one’s blog.  And if your blog is a popular one that brings in a lot of traffic, you can earn a lot of money from it over time.But that’s the problem there; most people who want to earn money by putting Google ads on their blog don’t really know how to do so.  They create accounts, set up their blog, but stop there because that’s the aspect of earning money through blogging that they’re not familiar with.  Let’s have a look at how you can set up Google Adsense on your blog:

• The first step to setting up Google Adsense on your blog is to create the blog first.  There are many possible blog services to choose from like WordPress or Blogger, the latter being the easiest blog to set up ads on.  After creating and arranging the lay-out of your blog, you should post a couple of entries because the Google Adsense team would first review your site to determine what related ads to place on your blog.

• The second step is to apply for a Google Adsense account.  You won’t be able to earn without it, so make sure to open one by creating a Google account and signing into Adsense using your account details.  After this, Google will then send you an e-mail asking you to verify your e-mail address.  Make sure to click on the link so that your application will be sent and a representative will visit your site or blog for review.  Since we’re talking about Google Adsense on a blog, continue posting regularly because they’ll be sending you a notice about their overview in a matter of days.

• If the Google Adsense team sends you an e-mail of approval, you can then log into your account to get the HTML code, which is what you will paste into your blog or website.  You can find this in the Adsense Setup tab, which is where you will find context-sensitive ads under the Adsense for Content link.

• The next step is pasting the code into your blog’s HTML editor.  Always make sure that you are inserting the code as HTML and that you are pasting it into your blog’s template so that you won’t have to keep putting it in every post you make manually.

By following these steps and posting great content for traffic, you’ll be surprised one day to find money in your account and a letter from Google with your PIN code for you to use to access your funds.
