I’m Going to Be Rich.…Not!!

While all of us would hope that click through adver­tis­ing would pay for our home on the beach, for most of us that doesn’t seem to be true. I’ve been using Adsense for about 4 months now and so far the whop­ping total I have made is $0.11. Now I hope that I don’t spend all of that in one place. Wait a sec­ond upon read­ing the terms of the Adsense account it only starts to pay out when you reach for first $100.00. I guess that this means my great grand kids may be able to buy a candy bar when infla­tion has caught up to the point of the pay out.

Does This Mean I Shouldn’t Use Click Through Programs?

No, it doesn’t mean that at all. This means you are going to have tai­lor your site to give you the great­est like­li­hood of get­ting click through traf­fic to work for you. At this moment I’m going to tell you that I don’t have the answers. This is hon­esty and hope­fully we are work­ing on this jour­ney together. Over time we are going to inves­ti­gate on this journeytogetpaid.com on how to make the money you so crave to have. Does crav­ing money make you evil? No, though it shouldn’t be your sin­gle goal in life. I never per­son­ally thought of Scrooge McDuck as evil, did you?

Why Doesn’t it Work?

Well the hon­est answer is that some­times you are too smart for your own good. Do you write pieces that bring in peo­ple at your same intel­li­gence level? Do you write a lot about tech­nol­ogy and inno­va­tion? These really are things that work against you, and more then likely you should move to a page impres­sion based adver­tis­ing sys­tem (I don’t have one that I can rec­om­mend to you yet). The rea­son that it doesn’t work is think about your­self, when was the last time you clicked on an ad and actu­ally pur­chased some­thing? If your like me prob­a­bly never or very very low chance. This means if your read­ers are as intel­li­gent and inter­ested in things that you write about as you are — you are gath­er­ing peo­ple that are less likely to get ads.

What Can I do Now?

The quick answer is start a new blog with a new focus or re-purpose your exist­ing blog. Instead of deal­ing with tech­nol­ogy or per­sonal inter­ests you should pick top­ics with a more wide spread appeal. If it’s some­thing you can write about coher­ently it is never a sell-out approach any­more then you doing the nor­mal 9–5 job. It is pro­vid­ing a ser­vice. If you are unin­ter­est­ing on top­ics such as mort­gages, pet prod­ucts, or the aver­age income of a laden swal­low in India; you won’t get a reader base. If you don’t have a reader base click through ads still won’t work for you.

So I would say your best bet is to write on some­thing that can be mon­e­tized to a level you feel com­fort­able with inter­act­ing with peo­ple. There is a chance you could start a spam blog based on a typo — but the rewards can be very low. While you’ll hear Inter­net leg­ends of the squat­ter that has made mil­lions of dol­lars off one typo — this really isn’t true. Maybe once upon a time but write now peo­ple are fight­ing over every last penny avail­able online. I think you should main­tain and use click-through adver­tis­ing from which ever com­pany you find is the best fit for you. I can say that it’s not the magic bul­let you are hop­ing for.
