Inspired from so many successful stories with Google Adsense (or any other earning systems on the web), anyone who steps in the internet marketing world expects to make tons of money right from the moment they start working and become rich and famous marketers in a few months. They are in that "Wow" mood that keeps your eyes closed and does not let you realize how many efforts you need to do. But shortly, they see that making money online is not that easy and that it actually requires a lot of time and efforts to achieve only a small part of their dreams. Even understanding this, most of the people keep trying and still fail again and again.
Most internet marketers start their "way to success" with CPC (Cost Per Click) Programs, thus I will try to explain the major reasons why people fail particularly with Google Adsense, but it actually is the same reason why they cannot earn with any other programs.
1. Why People Fail With Adsense - Adsense Is Not a Get Rich Quick Scheme!
Don't get me wrong. Google Adsense is one of the best solutions for webmasters and bloggers to monetize their web properties and Yes! - that small revenue can turn in hundreds or thousands of dollars over time. But not in one day and not in a week, and not even in a month for most of you. Do not expect to earn fortunes after writing 10 articles. Just put your work out there and be patient! Don't give up easy and continue to do what you are doing without even thinking that you are doing it for money. You will wake up one day with small changes to your Adsense account and will see your earnings increasing with the time.
2. Why People Fail With Adsense - They Always Get Distracted!
With so many opportunities to earn online, it is very easy to get distracted. The world wide web is full of trash and so-called "Internet Gurus" that promise you to earn thousands per day if you follow them. 99% from the cases all are trying to sell you something - services, ebooks or software that will change your life and you just can't live without it. The most of them won't help you or are just scams. Now, you think: if it was true - we'd all be internet millionaires till now.
I am not telling you not to buy ever a good ebook `cause one could actually really guide you and show you things that are not given for free on the internet but if you are new to internet marketing, make sure to buy from trusted sources.
Okay, so one of the main reasons people fail is that they get distracted. Do not be one of that 90%+, stick to a plan and work your way to success!
3. Why People Fail With Adsense - Laziness!
Laziness is the probably one of the most important factors why people fail with Adsense. I have a lot of friends that dream to earn money on internet. They start doing something online every time I show them a paycheck but they always give up after a few days of work. They preffer to play games, hang out on social media websites or watching videos on youtube. And this when they could profit from doing that, especially from social media websites.
They only reason they will never earn online is laziness and the fact they are only motivated by money. They don't want to work, they don't want to learn, they don't want anything but money. And that's very wrong thinking!
If you want to succeed with Adsense or any other program, you need to treat it like a business. And every business requires lots of time, efforts and work! Your motivation has to be your success! And success should mean more time with your family, more time to improve yourself!
4. Why People Fail With Adsense - Low Traffic!
The Traffic (website visitors) is everything that matters. If you are not able to generate 200-300 unique visitors to your website every day, you will most probably not make any income on any Advertising Network including Google Adsense.
People will not visit your website just because you created it. There are literally thousands of ways to drive traffic to your website and I will discuss that in my later posts but you will always have to keep your audience motivated to come back. And that is actually not so hard to do. The key is: fresh, quality content! Check the following reason why people fail to earn with Adsense because of content.
5. Why People Fail With Adsense - Bad Content!
The content you deliver to your visitors has a big role in your success with your website. Relevant, Fresh and Quality content will bring your visitors back to your webpage again and again while bad content will make them forget about you once and for all.
Some people write content poor quality content or just copy it from all arround the web to populate their websites. I hate to tell you but this way you will never earn enough to even withdraw your first check from Google Adsense. The webmasters that decide that duplicate content is a good solution only waste their time and probably nervs.
6. Why People Fail With Adsense - Choosing the Wrong Topics!
I already mentioned in a previous post that you should choose your topic wisely. Make it something close to you. A topic you know a lot about and could write much more than 10 articles. Some people choose topics they are interested in but know not so much about it. As a result, they write a few articles and stop. Do not make this mistake!
Also, do not expect to earn much from your personal blogs. You will gain no audience if you just post about how you spent your weekend, how your children are behaving themselves or anything similar. You will have to write about topics that someone will want to pay for to advertise on your website.
7. Why People Fail With Adsense - Living the Other's Dreams!
It happens a lot when people are so excited to by others' earnings and on what topics they use, that they start doing everything the same. And that is not working! Just because someone makes $2,000/mo from Adsense does not mean you will do the same.
If a publisher makes that amount, it means that he is having relevant content, his traffic stats should be something arround 10,000-50,000 unique visitors a day, optimized Ads and a lot of backlinks from authority websites. People who earn decent amount of money at the moment, built their reputation and, of course, their Adsense Revenue slow but sure.
So, while it can be useful to learn from other successful marketers, don't exactly copy their ideas. Write about what interests you and things about you know. This will keep you motivated and you will work on your website consistently.
8. Why People Fail With Adsense - Everything For Free?
In order to succeed on the web, you will also need at least a domain name. Something like http://www.yourdomain.com. Google Adsense does not allow publishers that use free hosting or domain. However, if you have a domain, you can start blogging by choosing one of the free blogging platform - Blogger, WordPress, Livejournal, TypePad etc. So for start, you will only need a domain name. Consider it your first investment as a domain could cost you something arround $5 and $15 depending from where you buy it. Having a domain name is already a step forward and opens a lot of doors that were closed before. If you are more experienced, you can buy a hosting to have more freedom.
Also don't hesitate to buy a good ebook if it's from a trusted website. With this kind of investment you will sometimes be able to profit many times more than the price you paid. Just remember not to believe every "Guru" on the web that tells you that you'll earn thousands with his $19.97 ebook. This kind of ebooks don't give you much more information than you can find for free.
9. Why People Fail With Adsense - Cheating
When desperate publishers see they can't earn anything with Adsense, they try to use all the methods on earth to cheat the Adsense Program. Click Frauds, Automatic Traffic Generation and NOT following Google Adsense's TOS can cause you not the best experience with this program. So, not much to say here: Play Fair or you will get your Adsense Account banned. Period!
10. Why People Fail With Adsense - Repeating The Same Mistakes
Failures are very common in internet marketing so don't always expect everything to be as you wish. Even the most experienced marketers had their failures when they started. Yes, we all did fail and learned from that. In order to succeed, take your failures as lessons - or even better, learn from other's failures.
To summ all this up, even if Google Adsense has a simple concept, it depends on many factors if you will or you will not have success with it. Learn, Think, Analyze, Tweak, Experiment and apply everything you read so far. With so much free information - it makes it more easier for you to earn a decent income with Google Adsense. Be different from that 90%+ that fail... Earn!!
