Your Adsense Routine
By: John Elder posted in Adsense
Hello good people!
It’s another amazing day here in downtown Chicago. The sun is shining bright, it’s going to be in the 60’s again, and I couldn’t be happier about that. Of course, the weather’s about to fall off a cliff tomorrow, but what do you expect? My mom is visiting from near St. Louis tomorrow, so that will be nice; haven’t seen her in a while.
Today I want to talk about something just a little bit different than what I usually talk about. It’s more to do with motivation and daily routine than anything else.
When building an Adsense empire, it’s important to have a routine and stick with it. Why? Because it’s easy to get distracted. If you build a couple hundred websites, you might start making good money; and when the money’s rolling in, it’s hard to put in the hours to grow your business and build more sites.
But that can be a disaster!
Why? Because Google fluctuates constantly. Your couple hundred sites might be pulling in $100 a day today, but next month those sites might drop out of Google completely.
When that happens, you can’t just wave a magic wand and conjure up a new batch of websites, it takes time to deploy them, and time for Google to index them – sometimes weeks. In the mean time you won’t be earning any money.
That’s why it’s so important to stay motivated and come up with a routine to do a little work building a constant stream of new websites each and every day. It’s why I sign off every one of these blog posts with the line “Keep on building!”.
So what routine to use?
That’s all up to you. It doesn’t really matter what the routine is, as long as you’re comfortable with it and can stick to it. Your routine might involve building one new web site a day, or it might be one hundred. It doesn’t matter, as long as you’re consistent.
There are a few things that every Adsense empire owner should do each day. Some of those things include:
- Build new sites
- Research new niches
- Study Earnings Stats
- Read current Adsese news
Those are really the most important things that you should do every day. The first two are pretty straight forward; while studying stats isn’t as important, I like to keep an eye on things and try to figure out patterns in earnings and things like that.
For instance, you might notice that a particular group of websites are earning a lot more money then your other sites. You’ll see that in your earnings stats, and you then might decide to build more sites in those specific niches.
The last one is a big one too…it’s important to keep current on the Adsense industry. Follow the Google adsense blog, read blogs like mine, and even join a forum or two dedicated to Adsense. Every morning I head to Starbucks for my morning venti coffee and I read the financial times newspaper on my ipad, then I read a couple Adsense forums that I belong to. Routine.
What’s your routine?
I urge you to come up with your own routine and stick with it. I wrote an article about my big yearly calendar that hangs in my office. Every day after I finish my Adsense routine, I put a little red sticker on todays date on the calendar. For some reason, putting the day’s sticker on there keeps me motivated, even on days when I don’t feel like working at all.
And let’s face it…when you make a ton of money with Adsense, you have a LOT of days when you don’t feel like working at all. That’s the beauty of it! So come up with your own routine, and drop me a message to tell me about it. In the mean time…
Keep on building!!
