Once you have received your PIN:

  • You need to sign in to your Google AdSense account.
  • Next, click on settings and then Account information

If you haven’t received your PIN, you can request a new one by navigating to Settings >> Account Information >> Resend PIN. Make sure that your payment address is correct otherwise you are likely to lose your PIN again. As per Google, there are only three attempts to request a PIN, after which Google will not issue you a PIN. Understand that all the PINS are same and even if you receive an old PIN that was dispatched to you, use it to verify your account at the earliest.

If you don’t receive your PIN, Google allows you to verify your account through official documents in some cases if the country’s postal service has a reputation for being unreliable. While in some countries, verification is only possible through the PIN.

How long does it take to get AdSense PIN?

After your PIN is generated it might take up to 4 weeks or more depending on your location. If you don’t receive your PIN within four weeks you will need to request a new PIN. You can do this by logging in to your account and see the Account settings page under the Home tab.

How much can I earn from AdSense?

The number is dependent on a lot of factors like the number of people visiting the site, the kinds of ads that Google will run on your page, the amount of money that advertisers are paying for their ads.

To make a rough estimate you have to look at the traffic and cost per click or CPC. Different countries have different CPC rates. Pakistan has an average CPC 84 percent less than the US average.

A complete list of the CPC across the world can be compared here.

However, the type of ads that are displayed on the webpage can greatly increase or decrease your earnings. For example, if there is a good ad more people are likely to click on it, whereas very few people will click on a weird ad.

Traffic from developed countries ensures greater earning, whereas, traffic from underdeveloped countries means a low earning.

Apart from CPC, there are other bid types as well. One of which is CPM – the cost per thousand impressions. Advertisers will pay you a fixed price without the number of clicks.

How to optimize Google AdSense ads?

Placing ads on your website is easy, earning revenue from those ads is a very tough ask. Well, there are a number of optimization tips which can be used to earn a lot of revenue. Let’s have a look at some of the best practices which can help you earn more money.

  • Make sure you design ad styles in a way to complement your website, those ads which don’t blend in with the website content look ugly.
  • Put multiple ad units wherever you can as long as the page content is more than the ads.
  • As per Google, 720×90, 336×280, 160×600, and the 320×100 mobile banner perform best.
  • Make sure there’s a flow in your content. Wrongly placed ads push website users away.
  • Use both display and text ads to maximize your revenues.
  • Don’t allow the users to scroll down the page; place ads at the top of the pages – these work great for CPM ads.

WordPress

WordPress is world’s favourite blogging platform, also referred to as a Content Management System (CMS).

For starters, there are two ways to start blogging on WordPress.

  • org – a self-hosted version of WordPress which is the preferred choice for serious bloggers who are looking to earn some real money and not be bogged down by limitations of the blogging platform.
  • com – A relatively easier way of starting your own blog, but this is recommended for those who are just interested in sharing their views not-so-regularly to a limited audience. Whenever you decide to take blogging more seriously, it’s time to shift to the self-hosted version of the platform mainly because of the limitations of free version.

 

Before we move to setting up the WordPress, let’s have a look at a few other ways of making money from WordPress blog apart from Google AdSense.

  • WordAds – the advertisemenet solution for WordPress users
    • To avail this go this link and sign up using your WordPress account: https://wordads.co/signup/
    • WordAds pays for impressions and not for ad views therefore its easy to earn money if you have good traffic
    • To track the earnings, go to Settings -> WordAds in your WordPress dashboard
  • Affiliate Marketing – WordPress allows you to display affiliate links
  • Sponsored Posts – If you have managed to attract a strong fan base for you blog, you can find sponsors and advertisers who are willing to pay you for placing their content on your blog
  • Sell Online – You can also start selling your products or someone else’s and charge a commission for each sale

We will discuss how to set up the WordPress.org variant of the CMS and how to earn money from it. Before we proceed to setting up and installing WordPress, you need to do the following:

  • Buy a domain name web hosting from a reputed service provider

Once you have your own domain name and web hosting, you can proceed to the next steps. Most of the WordPress users prefer to use managed WordPress hosting which covers everything from installing and setting up your WordPress for you.

However, if you are interested in doing these steps manually, but you will need the following:

  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access to your web server, which will be provided by your web hosting provider
  • FTP client like FileZilla or Cyberduck which can be downloaded for free online

Now you have to download the latest WordPress from the official website.

  • Upload these downloaded files to the web server using FTP
  • Next step would be to create a MySQL database and user for WordPress
  • Connect and configure WordPress to the database
  • Give finishing touches to the WordPress configuration

It is advised that you should use some expert’s advice and/or services for setting up the WordPress manually.

  • Once your WordPress is installed, you can customize it by installing different themes and plugins as you desire.

  • After downloading, you can navigate to Appearance >> Themes >> Add New

  • Upload theme

  • Activate theme

  • If you wish to delete any theme, you can navigate to Appearances >> Themes and click the theme you want to delete. It can be deleted by clicking on delete option given at the bottom of the preview

Revenue Sharing Websites

Revenue sharing websites provide opportunities for creative creators to earn money by creating content that is purposeful and entertaining. The creators can generate a healthy income as these sites will remunerate them as per the quality and quantity of the content.

You can write up in any theme or particularly a freelance writer could get paid by article submission according to their choice on many sites that support this type of content. There are also popular video sharing websites where users can publish original content and gain income accordingly to their popularity.

HubPages

HubPages have become centre of attention for paying the writers and accepting anyone. Their infrastructure works so that the top content flows to the top thus earning more money for its authors.

  • Sign up for the website

This process is fairly simple as you need to provide your name email address and the password. You might have to see tutorials but it’s not always the case.

hubpages signup

  • Start Writing your content

The functionality of “Hubs” they offer is somewhere midway between a following a structure and creating your own personal blog.

Make Sure your content to fit in accordingly to their guidelines.

  • Register for monetization

Hub pages will offer you different methods for monetization. The exact methods are eBay affiliates, Amazon affiliates, and Google AdSense. You will be given a special affiliate ID and this runs at a 60/40 split with the overall HubPages ID. So, say if 100 people visit your hub 60 will see ads with your ID and other will see ads with Hub pages ID, in other words, Hub pages are taking cut of your traffic, not from payments made to you.

  • Create “relevant” content

Just writing about anything isn’t enough as it doesn’t garner any views, so a good way to generate healthy cash is to write hubs about what people are really searching for and this is where you need to get a knowhow of keyword research.

  • Keyword Research

To get a full useful knowledge on the topic you need to look into this article where this topic is wholly covered.

Furthermore, a good advantage of hub pages is the offered freedom, while on other websites you have to stick to a niche but in Hub pages, you can cover the topics related to popular keywords to generate views.

  • Write more and Share it

After familiarizing how to pick out topics that have potential, it’s time to write your heart out on them. Search up and keep publishing relevant content to gain more popularity on your stories. A good way of promotion is sharing our hubs. Legally you can share them on social media and on relevant forums to get more ad clicks as sharing increases views.

Consider that some average-level Hub Pages writers make around $2 per hub per month, and you can then scale your content accordingly. Keep writing and publishing as it takes a long time to rack up enough search clout to bring in views and there is a learning curve with Hub Page’s audience and keyword research.
