Steps
- Join a service to which you wish to contribute (such as sites which have arrangements for ad revenue sharing: e.g., Blogger for blogs. This step may also require a separate registration with the direct provider of ad revenue sharing (e.g., Google Adsense).
- Configure your settings or preferences at the content provider to opt in to enable revenue sharing.
- Add meaningful content to the blog or wiki. Write for an online audience when you do. Short paragraphs of no more than four or five sentences are best.
- Run a spell check on your article. Then reread it to be sure you don’t have mistakes a spell checker can’t catch, like “over hear” for “over here.” Typos can create unintended humor.
- Of course that can become your topic if your article is humorous. When you think of something silly, try writing comedy! Readers like funny blogs as well as serious ones.
- Keyword your article. If you don’t know what the “keywords” input box at the bottom of your blogger blog or other software is, it’s a way that search engines index your topic.
- Google has software to help you identify the most-searched keywords for your topic. Choose the most popular keywords that actually fit your topic and use them in descending order.
- Monitor your earnings (e.g., at http://google.com/adsense).
Tips
- Make your content readable and interesting.
- Consider that your work on the overall organization of the site may help your pages gain more attention.
Warnings
- Do not click on your own ads in the hopes of gaining more money for yourself or you may be disqualified by the ad provider (e.g., Google).
