Online Writing Income

If you are a freelance writer and have any sort of presence in the blog-o-sphere, right after setting up your blog (as mentioned in an earlier post), trot over to the Google AdSense websites and open an AdSense account.

Personally, I’ve found that Google AdSense works better on websites than they do blogs. That might have a lot to do with my blog topics. If you have a blog that talks about the latest gadgets, insurance topics or health and fitness machines, AdSense may work out well for you.

Blogs that talk about writing or writing opportunities don’t seem to do as well with AdSense. The good thing about being a freelance writer in this day and age is that you can have more than one blog. If you have the time and the inclination, you can manage several blogs on the most lucrative topics and watch Google AdSense work for you.

Keep in mind that Google AdSense isn’t the only game in town when it comes to earning money through your blog. In later posts I’ll share some other ways I’ve managed to earn a few shekels over the past year or two.
