By Julie Mayfield, eHow Member
Do you have a blog that uses Google Adsense as a source of revenue? Follow the steps below to make more money with your blog.
Step11 Go to http://adwords.google.com.
Step22Click on the 'Get keyword ideas' link, which you will find about halfway down the page under 'You create your ads'.
Step33Under 'How would you like to generate keyword ideas?' select the 'Website content' option.
Step44Enter your blog's URL in the box and click on 'get keyword ideas'. Step55Google will analyze your blog and provide you with a list of keyword ideas, grouped by various terms.
Step66Pay attention to the 'Approximate average search volume' column to get an idea of how often various keywords are searched for.
Step77In the upper right corner above your results, click on the arrow in the 'Show/hide columns' drop down box. Select 'Show estimated avg. CPC'. This gives you an idea of what advertisers pay per click for a particular keyword. While you won't receive this amount per click, you can use it to analyze which keywords might be more profitable relative to other keywords.
Step88Use all of the information gathered above to write blog posts using profitable keywords that are searched for often. Over time, this should improve Adsense revenue and help you make more money from your blog.

How to Work at Home Successfully-By eHow Step12Talk to your family and help them understand that even though you appear to be home, you are not home. You work from home. Set aside an hour each day to focus on your family, perhaps when the kids get home from school. After that hour is up, go back to your home office and if necessary, close the door. Step23Allow only package deliveries, business telephone calls, emails, doctor appointments and emergencies to take you from your work. Laundry, house cleaning, electrical repairs and gardening must be left until the evening or the weekend. Monday through Friday you work at home. Step34Prevent yourself from getting distracted. Even the most seasoned home office professional feels the pull of the outdoors, or desires to leave work and go do something fun. If you find yourself unable to concentrate, change into a business suit and sit back down at your desk. This will remind you that if you were working for someone else, you wouldn't have the option to take off to the spa or the golf course. Step5Buy everything you can possibly afford to make your home office function as professionally as possible. This includes having a top-rated Internet and email service, caller ID and a phone company that has excellent messaging services that can be retrieved from another phone or a Blackberry. Your clients are your income. You must always be available. Step6Find yourself a good accountant. Whether you are self-employed or incorporated, you need someone you can count on to help you protect your financial interests and make sure that everything is done on time. |
