Google Adsense and Blogging

Recently I chose to employ a well known feature of Google called AdSense on this Blog.  For anyone not familiar with this quite simply you allow Google to place small ads on your website or blog.  In return for doing this the Webmaster or Author will be paid for each time someone clicks on an add.

I debated for some time wether or not to monetize this Blog before I had attracted a substantial readership.  Well I have not yet attracted the huge readership, but went ahead and added Adsense anyhow.  I can vouch for the effectiveness of Adsense from my other Blogs etc.   The payment only hinges upon how many visitors you can attract.  

Time will tell how this will affect my SERP ranking for this Blog.  Usually it is not a good idea to add Adsense this soon but what the heck, I am always looking for more sources to Make Money.  I will update as time passes on the efectiveness of Adsense on this page.

Make Money in 2010

So I have set the same goal again for myself in 2010, make more money. Perhaps you are like me in that you are no longer satisfied with you current income or career. Come along for the ride with me :)

As I enjoy my current career immensely, I have no plans for leaving my day job. However, I have decided to explore other avenues of income. As well, I would like to try some new methods of using my existing equity and income more effectively. Some avenues I am currently using and will be trying soon are;

Continue building my home based business

Build Capital in my business (too many methods to list in this post)

Keep my Business and Career separate

Optimize Web Traffic to some of the other sites I am involved with

Manage business finances to optimize all personal income (taxes, expenses etc)

Promote my Ebook(s)

Help others to gain a career they can enjoy as much as I do

Use my business as a backup or future full time large-scale company

I have found many ways so far to make my current finances work more effectively in my favor, but recently the largest gains have come from what I viewed as the largest risk- starting a home business.

As it turns out, this does not have to be risky, or difficult at all.

Here's a link to my post The Importance Of Me Time.
