How to make 5 figures per month with SEO and adsense - stage 1: get started

in #money7 years ago (edited)

Back in 2006 I started messing with Adsense. Not much luck the first 3 years. I didn't even make it to the 100$ payout threshold. Still, I learned some basics, which helped me monetize a website that I had built for a potential client. My client wasn't interested in that website (and that company and person are now completely and utterly bankrupt) so I ended up playing with Adsense on a topical website.

3 figures a month

Suddenly I made the threshold. Every month. Not much money still. but enough to peak my interest. I tried multiplying my effort. By 70. With shitty content. When I say shitty, I mean shitty. Total garbage. But back in 2010 this worked pretty well and I was consistently making 3 figures a month. Without really grasping what was going on.

What I know now

If you really want to make serious money online, you can. And I'm happy to get you there. I have many friends and acquaintances who told me this, but less than a handful have actually made it to the first Adsense threshold. Honestly only two. It involves two parts:

  1. get started
  2. keep doing it

So, how to start?

  • Pick a topic you can write about consistently. At least 1 article per week.
  • English is highly competitive, if you speak a big European language such as Dutch, German, French, Spanish or Italian, this may be a better option
  • Find a good domain name, ideally .com or a good TLD such as .nl .de .es etc.
  • If you're a medium tech geek, set up your OWN WordPress installation with e.g. Bluehost or Dreamhost. If you can host it yourself, this can be an option. If you're a complete tech noob https://wordpress.com can be a temporary solution.

If you make it through these steps, follow me here on steemit.
Alternatively I'll also be happy to give you free personal guidance.

Wix is far from ideal to build a serious business. Plus it looks like your site is based around JavaScript, view-source:https://www.bit-coins.tech/, Googlebot doesn't like this.
