Once an article of yours gets published on the internet, you simply sit back and collect your Ad-sense earnings as they roll in, right? Not quite - getting the article published is only half the battle. You now need to share your wisdom with the rest of cyberspace. All things considered, wouldn't the world be a much better place if everybody could read your article and truly appreciate your true brilliance? If you follow these tips, you will increase your readership.
If you have a chance to talk with an experienced author, they will tell you in confidence that they are earning between $0.25 and $2.00 per month for each "search engine optimized" article in their portfolio. This is a numbers game, and it is essential that you understand the direct correlation between the number of people readers and overall profitability. To be honest, you can expect to bring in roughly $15.00 per 1,000 views with Google AdSense on average. The interesting part of that statistic is that you can convert the earnings of other authors back to traffic. For example, if you hear that an article earned $1.00, it tells you that the article probably had approximately 66 page-views. That is a decent number for a person who has not researched their keywords, not independently promoted their articles and not tried to monetize their articles/posts with affiliate leads.
To be as transparent as possible - to earn money from advertising, your articles need traffic.
Once I obtain confirmation that an article has been published, I follow these six steps to generate page views:
1. If possible, insert natural looking links from your older articles that link to your newest article. The key thing is that this needs to look natural. If done properly, it helps your reader link to related content, which improves the probability they find something they like or would recommend to others. For example, I had an article on "Classic Bollywood movies" ghost written for me. I picked this topic because it had unusually good search volume. In this article, I stated that Bollywood actors were India's version of Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. Later on, I wrote profiles on both Pitt and Depp. When these later articles were published, I went back to my original Bollywood article and hyperlinked the articles for Pitt and Depp.
2. Many article hosting sites will feature authors and articles. If your site has this, you should be submitting articles as potential features. I write primarily with InfoBarrel, and this technique has resulted in 17 features and counting.
3. Create a regular auto-tweet to your new post by using a product such as TweetAdder. If possible, include the twitter handles of popular tweeters who might enjoy or retweet your article. This happened to me- I wrote a Top 10 piece on the members of Howard Stern's Wack Pack and his re-tweet generated almost 10,000 views within 24 hours.
4. Update your AdSense account with the url address of your new article. This will let you track the traffic and revenue for each article in your portfolio. Over time, you will recognize that certain article types out-punch their weight when it comes to income while ones you thought would be slam-dunks fall flat. This is necessary for your development as an author. Within Google Adsense, go to 'My Ads', then 'URL Channels'.
5. Recommend your article on every one of your social media sites (StumbleUpon, Twitter, Facebook, Pintrest). This gives your article a chance of going viral.
