Making Money with Google AdSense

Introduction to Google AdSense

Google AdSense is one of the best ways of making money online. Now, you might be asking, what exactly is Google AdSense, and how can I potentially make a lot of money with it? Well, I’ve been making money with Google AdSense ever since I was a teenager, and it has completely transformed my life. Ever since I discovered that you can connect Google AdSense to a couple of different other tools, I could do the work once by generating certain assets and then make money from those assets for a long, long time.

What is Google AdSense?

Now, what exactly is Google AdSense, and how can you make money from it? Well, to explain this, imagine for a second a world without online ads. Now, I know that might sound peaceful, but ads in a lot of ways are actually what keeps the internet powered. The reality is that the free content that you love consuming online, whether it be cat videos or your favorite blog, these probably wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for online ads.

Now, traditionally, advertising depended on expensive mediums like television, newspaper ads. But now, needless to say, most people are on the internet, and that is where you want your ads to be seen in front of other people. And one of the biggest ad networks out there, which is owned by one of the biggest companies in the world, is Google AdSense. And you can use this to your benefit to potentially earn an income online with whatever you’re interested in. It’s 100% free to join. It can even make a lot of money for small creators. It doesn’t require a ton of technical knowledge to set up, and will allow you to monetize and potentially earn income online.

Making Money with Video Content

So let’s start with way number one of making money with Google AdSense, which is with video content. This is what initially allowed me to start making $3,000 per month when I was just 15 years old. And by the time I graduated high school, I was making $30,000 per month. I’ve never had to work a traditional job. And that’s all because of Google AdSense. Google AdSense has changed my life. And that’s no exaggeration whatsoever. I would be in a job I hated right now if it wasn’t for this product by Google. And as much as people might say that online ads are terrible and intrusive and everything, trust me, I hear you. But you can utilize this to your benefit. And online ads like this have changed so many people’s lives and it’s enabled probably a lot of your favorite creators to do what they do.

Faceless Cash Cow YouTube Channels

• I used Google AdSense with videos to make a lot of money online — without being a YouTuber.
• I never showed my face or stepped in front of a camera.
• Yet, I still used video and YouTube to earn income online.
• I did this by running Faceless Cash Cow YouTube channels.
• These channels don’t require you to show your face or be on camera.
• Despite that, they can still generate significant income.
• These are niche YouTube channels, similar to the ones that earned me YouTube play buttons.
• I reached over a million subscribers on some channels — all without showing my face.
• I started this journey as a broke high school student, proving it’s possible for anyone to do the same.

Types of Ads on YouTube

First and foremost, you need to understand the different types of ads that show on YouTube videos. You’ve got pre-roll ads, which show before the video, midroll ads, which show during the video, and then postroll ads, which show after the video. And YouTube will show these ads on your videos regardless if you’re a partner or not. So it’s basically a no-brainer to join the YouTube Partner Program as soon as you possibly can so that you can start getting a cut of that revenue. Then, in order to make the most amount of money with this, you’re going to want to go in and select the button in your monetization settings for your channel to monetize all of your videos.

Manual Midroll Ads

Make sure you select to put ads on all of your different videos, and this will do it automatically. Then what you’re going to want to do is go into these individual videos and start placing manual midroll ads. Essentially, what you can do is put multiple ad breaks throughout your video, and you’ll make a lot more money per thousand views as opposed to just putting those beginning and ending ads. And you want to put them at points where viewer retention is likely to be high in the video without interrupting the viewer experience too much. And in order to put these mid-roll ads, you do need to produce videos that are longer than 8 minutes. So make sure to do that as well.

High CPM Topics

And also, certain niches or topics make more money than others. For example, if you have a YouTube channel and videos specifically centered around making money online, finance, technology, business, travel, health, all of these topics right here are very what are considered high CPM. This means they make more money per thousand views than most other videos and most other topics on YouTube. And why is that? Well, if you look at the top advertisers on YouTube or even on Google AdSense as a whole, it’s going to be companies like Apple, which is in the technology niche, Expedia, which is in the travel niche.

Advertisers and CPM

So what types of videos and what types of keywords are these companies going to be targeting for their ads? Well, obviously, it’s going to be all of those topics that I just mentioned. And that is why those topics are high CPM because they have more ad dollars from AdSense going into those topics. And then you can take advantage of that by producing content on YouTube, for example, and then getting a cut of that revenue.

Monetizing Your Channel

Now, I have an in-depth tutorial on exactly how to monetize your channel, exactly how to connect it with AdSense, and everything. Feel free to check that out at any time, and I’ll show you exactly how to do that with your channel once you’re at that point.

Earnings Potential

Now, how much money can you actually make with AdSense on YouTube? Well, I’ve noticed most of the time, most channels get about a $5 to $10 CPM, meaning you make about $5 to $10 per thousand views. However, if you choose one of those high CPM topics, you could be looking at upwards of $15 to $30 per thousand views, especially anything related to business or making money online.

Promoting High Payout Partner Products

Now, what’s so epic about YouTube as well, not even just the fact that they have that magic monetization button that you can click and enable ads on your channel, but what you can also do is start making money from day one on YouTube by promoting high payout partner products. These are products where you get a commission for every sale that you get. You can find them on places like digistore24.com.

And can go to mattpar.com/affiliates. And then we’ve got tons of different affiliate resources that you can use to promote that program, and you can get a cut of that ad revenue. So let’s say, for example, you’re running a channel that was related to making money on YouTube. Then you can promote that program in the description of all of your different videos and get a 50% commission for every sale that you refer.

Affiliate Programs

Now, my course isn’t the only one that’s out there that you can go out and promote. There’s tons of different ones out there, but I truly believe that my course is one of the best when it comes to making money on YouTube. I’ve literally had students who have made money their first week on YouTube doing this strategy. And that way, they don’t have to wait to get monetized. And then when they do get monetized and they start making money from AdSense, it’s just an extra bonus.

Digital Journaling

Way number two of making money with AdSense is by doing something called digital journaling. Essentially, what this means is taking high-value content. In fact, you could even take the scripts from your YouTube videos that you already have, and then you could just rewrite it a little bit, and you take that high-value content and you put it on a platform like Webflow or WordPress. And then that content can live on the internet forever, giving people value. You can rank in search results by implementing SEO, which is search engine optimization, onto your website. And then you can put Google AdSense ads on that website.

SEO and AdSense

Now, I’ve done this in the past, and I’ve made pretty decent money, like a couple hundred per month, doing this in the past. I’ve never gone all-in on doing digital journaling specifically with AdSense, but I know people who make well over $100,000 per month with their websites doing this. So I know it’s 100% possible to do. I’ve gone all-in on YouTube, though. That’s been what I focus on over the past couple years because I personally like YouTube a little bit more. I like video content, and that’s just what I’m personally interested in a little bit more. Plus, I was just lucky to find out about that at a pretty young age as well.

Making Money with Apps

• You can also make money by placing Google AdSense ads on your app.
• You earn every time someone views an ad within your app.
• Many apps use AdSense and generate income as users interact with them.
• Some apps have millions of installs, meaning massive daily traffic and revenue for the owner.
• Imagine a million people using your app daily — that’s daily income potential.
• There are many no-code tools available today to help you build apps easily.
• You don’t need to be a developer anymore to create and launch an app.
• Anyone can do this, regardless of technical skills.
