Google’s AdSense is one of the most popular services for publishers and bloggers attempting to monetize their sites. The AdSense program is simple; once endorsed, they will be able to generate code for a variety of ad units that will then show on their site. AdSense then begins to serve ads and splits the revenue generated with the publisher. A publisher can be anyone with a website, blog, YouTube channel or other permitted online property. It is very popular with publishers because of the ease of use, and after initial configuration all one needs to do is sit back and watch money flowing in. Moreover, they pay handsomely over time and there is no risk of being scammed online.
So how does it work?
All said and done we actually get down to the act of making AdSense work for us. Remember, this isn’t a “get rich quick” scheme and needs patience and dedication. But the best part is, in return you will be paid handsomely over the time, which is why online money making is so rewarding. Here are the steps you need to adhere to:
1. Getting Started
To apply for an AdSense account, a web-property is mandatory. It could be a blog, website or anything that is permitted by Google. Here are certain suggestions:
• A blog on BlogSpot: BlogSpot is a free blogging platform by Google and you can create a blog of your own within minutes. The best way to people who have never worked online and first time trying to make money.
• A WordPress Blog: A respected blogging platform for those having an insight of how things work online.
• A YouTube channel: For those who love to create and record videos.
2. Applying for AdSense
After creating a web property, it’s time to apply for an AdSense account and get approved. Follow the following to get it done right:
• Sign up for AdSense
• Add AdSense ads to your blog

3. AdSense Approval
Here is the process for AdSense approval:

• After receiving it, login to your AdSense account and enter the PIN.
• Congratulations you have finished all the steps. Once your account reaches $100, Google will send you or wire you’re earning. I recommend direct bank transfer for AdSense payments.
