Let's blognetize!

Let's learn some few words first. Blognetization and blognetize.

What is blognetization? The term is a portmanteau made by contracting the phrase "blog monetization". No, as of now, you cannot find the term anywhere on the web. I just made it myself. Try googling and no one has ever mentioned the term. So, it means that I own this term, hehehe. Because I'm the one who first mentioned it on the web! Blognetize is obviously the verb counterpart of blognetization. The act of monetizing your blog is blognetization and to blognetize means to monetize your blog. Ok? And another term, the money you earned by blognetization, let me call it as blog money.

Ok, let me tell you my story first. I first learned blognetization when I heard about Google Adsense. I tried it myself, I put some Google Ads on my blog, and waited if I will really earn some money... but to my disappointment! I was just earning an average of US$1.00 per month! And since Google Adsense promised to pay only when I reached an earning of US$100.00, the current earning rate meant that I will get my first paycheck after 100 months, or after 8 years and 4 months! So, I therefore concluded then that blognetization was not for me. Maybe, it's for those blogs with high traffic only since Google Adsense pays on per impression basis and per click basis. With a blog traffic of just 100 - 150 hits per day, I told myself that this is not gonna work. But still, I did not delete the Adsense code. What if I'm still blogging after 8 years and 4 months? Then maybe, I'll get my first $100 paycheck. Hehehe.

I have read numerous blog post about Google Adsense saying that it did not work for them. And since my experience was the same, I can relate so much. The main reason why we failed was none of our visitors click the advertisement, or the percentage was very small, about one in 10,000. How could I earn with such click rate if I only have 100-150 visitors per day? Most of my visitors are co-bloggers who don't care clicking on any advertisement, they just want to read my blog post, put some comments, and go.

Despite this failure, I continued experimenting. I tried Adbrite. But the results were the same. But still, I continued searching for techniques. Until I found the key to blognetization! Yeah! I found out that what I did on my previous months of Google Adsensing was hilarious! Analogously, it's just like this: When I found out that boxing makes Manny Pacquiao wealthy, I bought some boxing gloves, went to the boxing ring with a tough opponent expecting to win. Of course, I failed. Surely, anyone with that kind of thinking will fail. In order for me to win that boxing fight, I need to learn how to box like Manny Pacquiao.

Ok, forget Manny. Let's get back to blognetization. What I found out is that you can really blognetize your blog and earn some blog money! Really. No, I don't go into click fraud if that is what you're thinking. When I started applying the key to blognetization, my US$1.00 per month became US$1 per day! With that rate, I'm expecting to earn my first Google Adsense paycheck in less than 4 months! Forget the eight years! Hahaha!

$100 for others is just a small money. But for me, an extra $100 on my pocket every four months is better than having nothing at all. Right?

Are you interested on learning more? Wait for my next post as I reveal the key to blognetization. In the mean time, subscribe to Google Adsense first, you can find the link on the sidebar of this blog. It's free, so you have nothing to worry about. Just wait for my next post!
