basic intro part & learn how people are making money from AdSense by
working online & how you can too.
What is Google AdSense & how it can make money for you?
Google AdSense is a free service offered
by Google for publishers to monetize their web content. A publisher
can be anyone with a blog, Website, Youtube channel or
other allowed online property. AdSense has always been most popular ways
to monetize the content & stepping stone for people who want to earn
online.
The reason for
AdSense popularity is because of ease of using it & after initial
configuration, all you need to do is sit back & see money coming into your
account. Moreover, they pay in time & you don’t have to worry about
being scammed online
Getting
started with AdSense is easy & you need a blog or Youtube channel to get
approval for AdSense account. Once you have an account, all you need to do is
create ads (Easy process) & place the AdSense code on your blog using free
plugins, & AdSense will automatically display ads. Now, When a reader
clicks on those ads, you will earn money from it. After this, your goal
is to get traffic to your blog & more traffic you get, more income you will
generate.
A word of warning:
If you are thinking this is so easy & you
can ask your friends or family to click on the ads, kindly don’t. Google
AdSense is a quality ad network that is free to join but they have maintained a
high level of quality & any such activities where a publisher is asking to
click on ads or using illegal methods to get more clicks,will cost you a
disabled AdSense account. Once your account is disabled, it would be hard for
you to get back an account.
How much can you earn from AdSense
& Income proof:
This is the most basic newbies often ask & you can read this guide to understand how much you can earn. There are users
who are making thousands of dollars every day with AdSense. Since I can offer
only my proof, here is current
screenshot of my AdSense earning in the last six years: $41,854 ( INR 27.5 Lakh)

resources below which would help in setting & maintaining your AdSense
account, but first let’s help you in getting a web property that is a requisite
