Lesson Objective:
Today you will write your second article to submit to your list of ezines that accept
articles.
Skills Needed:
· Basic email
· Word processing
· Basic surfing
Today’s Lesson:
Part 1 – What should you write about?
If you need help with the actual writing process please refer back to Day 16.
After all we’ve been through together, the question on your mind should not be “how” to
write the article – it should be “what” to write about.
What does your audience need to know?
Based on your idea surfing sessions, what could you teach people that would make them
want to buy your product?
Example:
I just wrote an article about Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and a problem it has with converting
ebooks as a way to promote the ebook I co-authored with Joe Vitale, “How to Write and
Publish your own eBook in as little as 7 Days.”
I don’t give away anything from the book, I just tell them about a problem with a
software package a lot of people own or might upgrade to. Writing this type of article
enhances my status as an expert and promotes the book at the same time.
What problem could you solve for your target audience?
What bit of news could you comment on right now and really help make a difference in
their lives?
Today’s Assignment:
1. Write and edit your second article using the steps laid out in Day 16.

Signing Up For AdSense
Once you have your blog created in Blogger, signing up for AdSense is
a very easy thing for you to do. The first thing you will want to do is
go to the AdSense Console located online at:
https://www.google.com/adsense/
On the AdSense starting page you will want to click on the “Click Here
to Apply” button.
Clicking on the “Apply” button will take you to a second sign-up screen
where you will enter the URL of your blog, your name, address, phone
number and the other usual basic information about yourself.
You will also have to check the boxes agreeing that you will not ever
click on your own Google AdSense ads, that you will not put ads on
sites which include incentives to click on the ads, that you will not
place ads on sites with any pornographic content, that you can have
checks made out in your own name, and that you have read and agree
to the AdSense Program Policies. Remember to take the time here to
read and understand the Program Policies!
The last selection, the AdSense Program Policies, is very important for
you to read and make sure you fully understand it. Google is very
vigilant about compliance to their rules and regulations when it comes
to AdSense. You cannot ever click on your own ads, you cannot ask
your readers to click on the ads hosted on your sites, and you need to
understand where you can place the ads and where you cannot.
Understanding the AdSense policies and rules will potentially save you
a lot of hassle in the future.
Once you have applied to host AdSense on your blog you will be asked
to confirm your request via the e-mail address you have provided on
your application. To do this, simply open your e-mail client, and click
on the link to confirm that you did indeed apply for AdSense in the
message Google has sent to you. This step insures Google that you
are who you say you are.
Once you have confirmed your request by clicking on the e-mail link
you were sent, then you will need to wait to be approved by Google.
Google generally takes about two to three business days to get back to
you. Generally AdSense is approved for anyone who applies. They
are mostly just making sure you have the site which you say you do
and that you do not have another AdSense account already. They are
not really looking at your site itself and what’s on it. Even if your blog
has a single post on it that’s fine and they will approve you for
AdSense hosting.
During the waiting period there is nothing you can do with AdSense
other than think about where you would like their ads to show up on
your blog. Because of this waiting period, it is best to apply for
AdSense right after you have created your blog – even if you have yet
to post a single message to it. After you have applied then the first
thing you should do is make a post to your blog so that Google can see
you are making a blog and what it is basically about for the approval
process.

AdSense for Search
Google also offers a companion program to AdSense which is called
“AdSense for Search.” The AdSense for Search program allows you to
host a Google search box on your website or blog. When a visitor to
your website searches via that search box you will be paid if they go
on to purchase something online from the search. In other words,
Google does not pay you for the search itself, but does pay you from
any revenue earned from the search which originated on your website.
AdSense for Search can be a great income generator for you. Assume
for a moment that your blog is about appliance repair. Someone finds
your site that is looking for information on the problem they are
having with their washing machine. You have a Google Search box on
your blog. After the visitor is done reading what you have suggested
the problem might be, they decide to go on to search for a new
washing machine. Maybe you had a review on your blog of a good
washer they might consider buying. If they buy this washing machine
from the search then you will get part of the revenue from that
purchase because the search started on your blog. How entirely cool
is that? All you did was simply host a search box on your blog!
