What Kind Of Website Should I Create?

Over the past few years, I have created many different kinds of websites, ranging from Forum, Article Directory to Service website such as EmailCashPro. However, the best kind of website which gets the highest Adsense click-thru rate is Focused Content Website.

What do I mean by Focused Content Website?

Basically, it is a website with lots of informative articles up at it, centred on a theme or a topic. The topic can be anything from mattress (now earning me about $50 a month) to acid reflux (now earning me about $150 a month).

For instance, you could do a site for dog owners. Possible articles on that site would cover:

• How to figure out what kind of dog you want

• Where to get a dog

• How to deal with a puppy

• Life stages of a dog

• House-training puppies

• Dog training

• What to feed dogs

• Whether to get more than one dog

• How to socialize dogs with other dogs and with cats

• Exercise needs of dogs

• Training dogs to do tricks

• Treating fleas

• Common dog ailments and when to go to the vet

• Dog nutrition

• Taking your dog on a trip

The articles you’ll want to have on your site should be short enough so that someone can read them in about 5 minutes. This means you want to stick to articles of 250 to 750 words, with 300 to 600 words optimal.

The purpose of having a content-rich website is to attract people to it. People come to your website because they are looking for information. They will click on your Adsense ads because they are looking for more information. That's the reason why you want to create a Focused Content Website.

You might think it’s lots of cool graphics and colors that make a site attractive to a visitor, but it’s really the content. In order to make money from Google Adsense, you need to grasp that concept.

Believe me, you could run a wonderful advertising campaign and develop all sorts of viral marketing tools and attractive affiliate programs. Unless your website is content-rich, the traffic spikes that you get for your efforts will only be temporary.

The very best way to attract and retain an online audience is to provide content that’s useful, valuable, informative and educational.

Why Make Money Through Adsense?

Whether you are a newbie or an experienced internet marketer, the first question you may ask is:

"There are so many ways to make money online, why Adsense?"

To me, Adsense income is

• consistent : I've been earning Adsense income since 2004 and I'm not at all affected by all the major changes in the internet world.

• maintenance free : I hardly spend much time maintaining my Adsense websites.

• very low risk : It's quite hard to lose money in Adsense. Your main expenses are domain name and hosting fees, which you can get for just $35 at www.mister.net.

Some people may think it's simply a waste of time spending one week writing contents and one week creating and promoting a website just for the purpose of earning a few cents a click.

I think otherwise.

Let's do the mathematics.

Your time spent to create and promote a website = 2 weeks (part-time) or 2 days (if you outsource)

Monthly earning from Adsense = US$50 per website (I have websites that earn more than $100 a month. $50 is about the average.)

Maintenance = 1 hour a month? (Frankly, I hardly maintain my Adsense websites. 1 hour a month is about the maximum I spend.)

Assuming you can produce this kind of earning for 3 years, what it means is your 2 weeks (or 2 days) of part-time effort can earn you $50 x 12mths x 3yrs = USD$1800. Frankly, I think 3 years is an underestimate. My Adsense income from a single website has been quite consistent despite of all the changes that is happening in the internet world and I believe it will continue to bring me income for the next 10 years. What it means is your 2 weeks of part-time effort can earn you $6000!!!

Conclusion: 2 weeks part-time effort = US$6000. Wow!

**********

Let's look at it from another angle.

If one website earns you $50 a month and you build 2 websites a month, it will mean a USD$100 increase in your monthly earnings every single month. See the tabulation below:

Months	Total established websites	Monthly earning
1	2	$100
2	4	$200
3	6	$300
4	8	$400
5	10	$500
6	12	$600
7	14	$700
8	16	$800
9	18	$900
10	20	$1000
11	22	$1200
12	24	$1400

After 12 months, your monthly extra earnings from Adsense would be US$1400.

2 websites a month is the minimum an average person can achieve. If you are a bit hard working or if you start to outsource the work, you can easily launch 4 to 8 websites a month. You can go ahead calculating how much you will earn if you do that. The point I want to make is that Adsense income is 100% scalable. Once you learn how to make your first $100, making your first $1000 is just a matter of duplicating or multiplying your effort.

Look long term and always spend your time building passive income instead of immediate income. This is the way to achieve your financial and time freedom.

Are you starting to see the potential of Adsense?
