Blogs and Adsense
So a friend of mine mentioned that she was thinking of starting a weight loss blog. My assumption is that she is going to blog about her personal experiences from losing weight. I thought that was a great idea. I suggested that she either use WordPress or Blogger because they both offer blogs for free. I’ve actually used both a long time ago and I think they’re great for beginners.
That got me thinking about my own sites. I used to have over 30 domains, most of which catered to the adult industry. I was an adult webmaster that promoted porn for 7+ years. It wasn’t something that I was proud of because I couldn’t show my family what I did for a living and I sure as hell couldn’t work on my projects with my kids in the same room. So now I only have one adult blog that I rarely maintain, but small checks come in once in awhile.
When I dropped all my adult domains, I had my family blog, the unschooling website, this domain which I’ve had forever, and a domain for my husband’s future landscaping business. The latter has yet to be developed.
After a lot of thinking on different occasions, I bought one for my personalization business, another to turn into an events/info/news hub site for the bay area, and domain that will eventually be used as a repository for my toons. My love of toons and drawing them have been reborn once again.
Currently, all domains that I have are using the WordPress platform because it’s free, easy to use, and you can download all kinds of templates and plugins to make it more useful and cool looking. I’ve recently started using Artisteer which is a great software that makes creating new WordPress templates really easy to build. And the best part about the Artisteer software is that you can use it to create templates to sell to the general public. The only stipulation is that you can’t use the images or graphics contained in Artisteer if you plan to sell the templates that you create. You have to use your own. No big deal here.
So most of my sites have Adsense implemented into them with the tips that I read from Adsense experts. Funny, I don’t remember their names. But whatever. My adult blog has no Adsense on it because it would be a direct violation of their TOS. That’s fine. I’m promoting and adult program anyway.
I checked my stats earlier today after I talked to my friend about her blog. I used to make a little over $100 a month from Adsense and the money would get direct deposited into my account. But that was a long time ago. Lots of things had been going on over the past several years that have prevented me from focusing on blogs and adsense. It’s called Life and information overload. Damn those gurus and their constant need to produce more and more products on how to make money. The information overload has gotten me at a dead stand still.
So I checked my stats and it says that I’ve made a little over $60 since my last payment. LOL. I haven’t received a payment from Google in a year or so. I can’t remember. Well I have $40 left to go before I can receive my next payment. If I can make $60 per day from Adsense, that would be progress for me. That would mean an extra $1800 a month to help with bills and groceries. I know hubby would greatly appreciate that. I could think of several bills that could be paid with that money. Maybe that will be my new goal? $60 a day from Adsense. It’s a realistic goal.
