Start making money with Adsense - What should I blog about?

February 21, 2008 on 11:20 am | In passive income |

I tell people how easy it can be to make money with Google Adsense, and they usually say “Wow, Cool! It must be nice — I wish I could do that.” I tell them that they can, that it’s easier than ever to get started, and the response is nearly always “Nah, I don’t know what I would write about,” or “What would I talk about? I have nothing to say.”"

I stumbled across this great article today, entitled “Little Known ‘Boring’ Websites That Make Incredible Money With AdSense.”

Alonzy, 57, now makes $120,000 a year from the ads Google places on his Natural Handyman website, and he couldn’t be more thrilled.

…

Take Jerrold Foutz. The former Boeing engineer, 75, started a website a few years ago devoted to one of his passions — switching mode power supplies, which help drive, for instance, the inside of video cameras.

He put Google ads on his smpstech.com site four years ago. After just one month, the first Google check was for $800. The second check totaled $2,000.

…

Al Needham, 74, who runs a site about the care of bees (bees-online.com) from his home near Boston, reaps about $250 a month.

The lesson? Write about what you know. Are you an engineer? Write about interesting engineering problems. Enjoy cooking? Start a blog about making excellent meals. Secretary by day? Create a blog that shares your time-saving tips and tricks.

Everyone knows something well enough to teach it. You need only find what that something is and get started.
