How to make money with Google Adsense without having a website

Before now, I had always thought it not possible to make money with Google Adsense without a website, but later realized I was very wrong.

Lots of people out there are making cool cash with Google Adsense without a website, using other platforms like youtube, bloggers, and other sites as their marketing platforms.

Youtube is a good marketing platform, and ever since Google became the owner of YouTube, it generates up to 6% of the company’s revenue which is about four billion dollars yearly, starting from 2007.

Just like the popular saying “we are in a computer age” which is true, and technology has made everything easy.
Especially the money-making aspect, at the comfort of your room, you’re making millions by just establishing an online presence with the right content.

And Google Adsense is one of the good ways to make cool money online, also one of the best methods to make passive income. To make money with Google Adsense it’s very expedient that you are clear about how it operates.

Google AdSense is a program owned by Google and it’s all about monetizing content systems. Currently, Google AdSense is the grandest system that monetizes content online.

The ads display within your content and its users all take part in the sharing of revenue.

A lot of people out there just like I still think google Adsense is an impossible task without a website, thinking one must have a website that displays the ad, and when any internet user that sees your ads clicks on it you just get your cash.

What is seen online today is that most website owners monetize their websites using Google Adsense.
But you can also run an ad and make money through it using the Google AdSense program without having a website.

Lots of free blogging sites out there that make this possible, sites like HubPages, Fixya, blackhatworld, Squidoo and so on all make it possible.

As good as this sounds, there are also disadvantages to using these free blogging sites. And one of the problems associated with this is that most of these free blogs won’t generate the kind of traffic needed because google didn’t place much importance on them.

The only traffic you will get is just the registered users of the free blogging site you’re using, so generating massive traffic from outside is quite hard.

Like I said earlier that it is expedient to also understand
how google Adsense operates/works.
Now let’s really dive in a bit to see how you have a Google Adsense account and how it works, and how to make money with it.

WHAT IS GOOGLE ADSENSE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Google Adsense, is an ad system that joins the advertiser and the publisher. Publishers must first connect their website to the ad system which now gives room for the advertisers to solicit an agreement to broadcast their ads on those websites.

And for any internet user that visits the website and clicks or views the ads, the publisher gets paid for his/her own share of the income generated from the ads.

And this even benefits the publishers, as it also generates massive traffic for their websites.

GETTING AN ADSENSE ACCOUNT AND WHAT YOU NEED

Are you just starting out as a business owner or you’ve been up and done with your business for a while? Google AdSense is really a good way to generate the kind of traffic you need for your business and monetize it.

Google AdSense is the most popular ad network, and it also gives different ad units for different platforms with great optimization tools.

When it comes to having an Adsense account, google is very concerned and extremely careful about who they allow on their ad network/system.

Google wants to make sure they maintain the integrity of their ad networking system. Hence the need for some basic requirements which are:

√ The intending user must 18yrs and above to register

√ A Gmail account that is active and not links with any Adsense account

√ You also must comply with the google program policies.

√ The free blog site address you registered with.

If you’re able to meet the requirements listed above, then follow the procedure that will be outlined next.

• Open your browser and type this web address www.google.com/adsense/start

• And on the next page it displays just click on “sign-in”
It will redirect you to a page that requires your Gmail account, fill in your mail address and password then select the “next button”

• A page with a dialogue box displays, where you’ll click on “sign up” for an Adsense account.

• The next page it brings is where you fill in all the necessary information including your email address.

• And on the next page, it will display instructions that will help in linking your blog/website to Adsense.
At this point, AdSense gives you a snippet code that you will add to your site within the <head> </head> area.
You will be able to do that with the direction provided on the page if it’s a WordPress site. And click the “submit”
button when you’re done.

All you need to do is wait till the AdSense team responds, but make sure to keep the snippet code live on your site till they respond.

It might take a few days before the AdSense team respond to you, and sometimes it even takes weeks before getting a response, just wait till they get back to you.

And once your account is approved then you are good to go and you can now start making money with ads. And to log in to your AdSense account just go to the same URL for the account registration and click on “sign-in” instead of “Get Started”.

The best and popular option to use google Adsense is to have a website but there are other ways to make money with Google Adsense without having a website.

So let’s dive into explaining these other ways:

GET A FREE BLOG ON BLOGGER

Like I said earlier, to use AdSense having a website is the best thing. But how can you create a website without having the knowledge? And hiring a designer for a fully active website is quite expensive.

It’s very simple, you can have your own blog on blogger.com, here you can have a blog without any coding/designing knowledge, everything you need to develop your own website is already there.

And this is also own by google to help bloggers share their passion and most importantly being able to monetize their content with Google Adsense.

When you’re done getting your blog account, you will need to sign up for monetization.

SIGNING UP FOR MONETIZATION

To do this, just log in to your blogger account and select the down arrow placed close to the blog you want to share, and monetize in the left menu.
There you will see the “Earning tab” click on it for the monetization set up.
After that, you will see the “Sign Up for AdSense” button click on it.

Having your AdSense account already, all you have to do is link your blog with the account. And when you’re through linking your AdSense account, it redirects you to blogger.

TO SET UP AD SETTING

For the ad settings just click the “continue” button and choose the exact place you want your ads to display on your blog. After doing that on the next page it displays just go through the automatic ads settings you see on your screen for ads placement.

You either choose within the post or on the sidebar, whichever suits you.

ADS CUSTOM

You can actually set your ads the way you want it, I mean customize your ads. Just click on “Customize further in Advance Ad Setting”. For the sidebar ads, click Google Adsense Gadget to choose the color, the size, and some relevant ad settings.

For the ads that display within the post, click on “Blog Post Gadget” a window opens then scroll down and click on “Customize Inline Ads” and choose your ad options.
Follow these steps for each blog you want AdSense ads on.

CREATE YOUTUBE CHANNEL

One great method or should I say the best method to make money with Google Adsense without a website is having a youtube channel. You don’t have one? You need to create one now.

It’s the biggest online video content sharing platform. You upload your video content and with Google Adsense, you can generate massive revenue.

To have a youtube account is free as long as you have a Gmail account that’s the key. When you’re done creating the account and start uploading videos, you need to activate the monetization option so you can start earning. The ads show in your video.

To Create Youtube Channel
• Login to your youtube account
• On the left menu, click on “MY CHANNEL”
• Follow the prompt on the screen to complete the process.

To Allow Monetization
When you’re done creating your channel, open your channel page, and at the top menu which is directly below the search bar you will see “video manager” click on it.

Now click on “channel” in the left menu or locate “HERE” and click on the “Enable” button on the monetization tile which now opens an interactive wizard which will guide you through the monetization process.

When you click on start, It’s very expedient to go through the youtube terms and conditions of agreement, tick the three boxes below and click the “I Accept”

Connecting AdSense Account To Your YouTube Channel
When you’ve agreed with their terms and conditions, just locate the account monetization panel, click the next item.
A screen displays, but click on next which takes you directly to the AdSense page.
Here, just link your AdSense account with your youtube account.

Selecting Ads Preferences
You will see a “start” button next to “Set Monetization Preferences” and adhere to the given instructions to choose your ads preferences. Check the box close to “Monetize all existing and future videos” tick the boxes below the ads types you want to display on your videos and click “Save”.
Now you can upload your original video content to your channel.

REVENUE SHARING SITES

These sites allow you to advertise/publish your contents on their pages. On your contents, they display their own AdSense ads and with every click, you get your own percentage. These sites are also referred to as web 2.0 sites.

Revenue sharing sites are best for starters who have enough budget to invest in a website.

What you need:

1. Google AdSense account
2. Register on revenue sharing sites and join their Adsense revenue sharing program with your personal publisher ID if Adsense account
3. Your articles should be more than 20

One last suggestion, you can actually earn from Adsense with Google AdMob.

Developing or create an app is a similar and tricky thing to websites. In fact, app development is very complicated. It serves as an alternative to the website if you want to earn from AdSense. This program that monetizes your application is called AdMob. It shows ads on your apps. You can create different types of apps and Google will show ads on them when you monetize them with AdMob. An example is the news apps which is on-demand and you can earn from them easily.

Lastly, Google AdSense is a great way to earn online whether you are earning from your website or YouTube or apps.
