I find it pretty irritating when I see some bloggers boasting how much money they are earning from adsense. The thing funnier is that some people are actually believing it without any proper proofs. Why do some show off their adsense earning? They do it because they think, this will increase the value of their blog/site. The number of regular visitors will rise because people will think that the ideas of the writer “worked” for him/her and so, it should work for the general public. This is sort of a publicity technique some bloggers use and many fall into this trap and become their devoted fans.

Remember that in reality it’s not easy to earn a lot of money just from adsense. The people, who are actually earning a lot doing so because they have MANY websites and they are putting in HOURS into their sites everyday. The people, who claim to earn thousands per month just from their blog is just using the publicity technique. Also, remember that the people, who are getting lots of money will NOT share their secret with you for free or for a simple $60 ebook. The only people, who will do that are the people, who are not earning that much. They would repeatedly report their adsense earning with the hope that the number of regular visitors will rise and that will increase their monthly revenue. Think about this. Bill Gates sharing his secrets to everyone for free or $60. This doesn’t just make any sense.

Also, among the people, who truly make LOTS of money from adsense for their countless hours of devotion will NOT share their total secret with you. They will just give you some hints from time to time but that’s it. Some one for sure I can say earning a lot of money is shoemoney. That’s because he has lots of websites and he has invested a very good amount of time. He does share some internet and money making tricks from time to time but he never reveals his ultimate secret to success. He keeps it to himself.

The losers, who boast about their earning claim to share all of their secrets in their websites. I personally think that you should visit websites and learn from the writers, who are honest. You should listen to the bloggers, who have been blogging for years and have lots of experience. You also need to find your own brand of money making scheme because that exactly how the successful bloggers became “successful.” Do not follow what other people tell you to do. The things that might work for others might not work for you.

Also, you will end up making your blog into something you don’t enjoy. Blogging in my opinion, is a place where you can speak your own mind. If you think about inclusion of high paid adsense keywords or if you think about writing things that bring you a huge traffic you will end up getting tired of your blog. Some people might tell you to stick to only one topic in your blog. They ask you not to make your blog general. In my opinion, you should make your blog very general to reflect your mind. Your mind doesn’t only think about money or technology. Your mind also thinks about creativity, love, philosophy, sports, music and all these good stuff. Write them down. Your blog is owned by you. If you write what other people tell you or what other want to see in your blog then it doesn’t remain your blog anymore.

Therefore, in summary, express yourself in your website. Earning money only from your blog is not really a very good idea. Therefore, keep a number of websites if you are really that serious about online business. Well, start an online business. All these stupid ad clicks will bring you limited amount of money. If you want to get real money, then start real business.
