An easy way to make money online is to use the Google AdSense program. You can make money by including simple text ads in your site’s content. When visitors click those ads, you share some of the money Google makes from the advertisers. It’s incredibly easy.

Placing AdSense ads on your site is trivial — it’s cut-and-paste. You don’t even have to worry about choosing the right kinds of ads — AdSense scans the page and chooses the right ads automatically. Getting started with AdSense is exceedingly simple.

No, what’s hard with AdSense is the same problem that all website-based content monetization schemes face: content and traffic. You can’t make money with AdSense without both. No content, no visitors — and no visitors, no clicks! It’s not hard to understand at all.

Successful AdSense publishers have multiple sites. They build “networks” of AdSense sites. Individually, each site may only earn a few dollars per day, but collectively those dollars add up quite quickly. Even 200 sites earning only $1 per day each can make you $6000 a month, which for some people is the equivalent of a full-time salary.

Is it easy to build so many sites? No, it’s kind of daunting. You need a lot of content. You need to find cut-rate web hosting and cheap domain names. You’ll want tools to create the sites.

Creating your AdSense network doesn’t take as much work as think it does if you follow a few simple tricks. The first is to minimize content: start out with small sites and see what works and what doesn’t. Then do everything you can to get visitors to come back, usually by getting them to sign up for a mailing list. Don’t forget to use affiliate links embedded in your content for extra income. And make sure all the pages link to each other and follow basic search engine optimization rules.

An AdSense content network is a business, and like any other business it benefits from having a business plan. You want to start small, with just a few niches. Then build on that business. Use the tricks just mentioned to reduce the effort required to create the network. Do the work, and in a few months you’ll have a wonderful AdSense business.
