$1 Million in Google AdSense Earnings

They are calling him the million dollar man. Jason Calacanis recently revealed in his blog that he is on track to earn a million dollars from AdSense over the year ahead.

And if that number doesn’t wake you up and have you sitting on the edge of your seat, consider for a moment that he reached this level in less than a year. His company only started using AdSense in September 2004.

Calacanis runs Weblogs Inc., a network dedicated to creating trade weblogs across niche industries. And he’s quickly proven that AdSense is a credible advertising partner.

As their network has grown, so has their AdSense revenue. In January 2005 they earned an average of $580 per day. In March it was $737. In May it was $1,585. One day in July, just before he made the blog entry referred to above, they earned $2,335. Remember that is just for one day. If they can take that daily average to $2,740 they’ll be earning a rate of $1 million for a year. And Calacanis predicts that reaching daily earnings of $3,000 or even $5,000 is quite achievable.

That’s quite an achievement. Keep in mind that Calacanis has 103 bloggers on the payroll and nine staffers. Even so, many webmasters would give an arm or a leg to have even a third of that.

Google’s AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, AdSense’s premier position seems secure for now.

In essence, AdSense has made it possible for almost anyone with a web site or blog to earn some revenue from advertising, without having to employ sales people or spend precious time searching for advertisers.

AdSense works like this. Webmasters sign up for an account in just a few minutes. They receive a small snippet of code to include on their web pages. Google will then automatically serve advertisements that are relevant to the content on the webmaster's pages. When someone visits the webmaster's site and clicks on one of Google's AdSense advertisements, the webmaster earns a fee. Advertisers can pay anywhere from five cents to a hundred dollars per click, and the webmaster receives a percentage of that fee.

Many webmasters are content with earning five to ten dollars from AdSense to cover the cost of web hosting. But many, unsurprising, have higher ambitions. At a popular WebmasterWorld forum, participants share tips and encouragement on reaching a goal of $300 per day from AdSense. So it is no wonder that Calacanis created quite a buzz when he made his million dollar blog entry.

Google have proven once again that they excel at designing innovative Internet services. If you are in the web industry and have not yet used AdSense, then perhaps you should try it out. Or if you are already using it, perhaps Calacanis’ impressive results will encourage you to track the performance of your AdSense units more closely, fine tune their positions and formats, and take your earnings to a new level.

Helpful Extra Income In The Economic Downturn

With more and more people out of jobs every day, the very basic question "How to earn more money" just becomes so important to many people. To make more money, of course, the first thing we have in mind would be to get a job and work over-time. But as I just mentioned, it's not easy, or even possible, to get a good job that allows you to work overtime. At this time all companies have to cut their payroll. So the first thing they do is to eliminate overtime, which is usually paid with higher rates. Therefore, it's not an option.

So how can you make money for a living? Or perhaps, if you're still having a day job, to earn some extra income to pay off your debt or improve your savings? The best answer is to get creative using the Internet. More specifically, every single day billions of dollars have been exchanged online with a wide spectrum of business activities. And in the process millions of people make a living out of this lucrative medium. If you can be one of those "Internet earners," that will solve your money problems, especially if you're unemployed.

I'm sure you have heard of success stories about sellers using eBay, Craiglist, Amazon or any other online market place. The concepts are simple, yet the devil is in the details. The basic challenge to this model of business is how to get products in high demand, but at prices low enough to make a profit at retail. On top of that, like every other business activities, how you can compete with others in the same business field and still make a reasonable profit. If you can beat these two challenges, the rest are not worth mentioned.

Another business model is about digital products like software or information. Unlike tangible goods that need extra work and cost to handle, digital products can be easily transferred between sellers and buyers, either via instant download or a portable storage such as CD's, DVD's or flash drives. If you think digital products are trivial compared to tangible, that's not true. Think of Microsoft or Oracle, they made billions of dollars out of software alone. Yet, digital products are not limited to software. They can be valuable information in forms of books or educational materials that are widely changed hands online.

Think you can't own and sell products? Think again. Contrary to common belief about the cost of owning a business, an online business can be incredibly cheap to begin with. It costs from less than $100 to own resale rights to certain digital products that you can keep selling without running out of inventory. As for the cost of advertising, you can use many cost-free methods to promote your business (usually a website).

If you don't like the pressure of selling your own products, the affiliate marketing model will solve your problem. There are basically millions of merchants out there that are willing to share a piece of profit with you for promoting their products. Yes, that's the simple concept. The details on how to succeed would be a whole long course of education. But think about it, with some creativity and extra work, you can reap the considerable benefits the Internet can offer for your efforts.
