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.
This is all to say that to earn money from advertising revenue, you need to be generating page views.
Once I obtain confirmation that an article has been published, I follow these six steps to generate page views:
1. If applicable, it does not hurt to update your previous articles with a link to your newest article. The key is that the link be natural and not crow-barred into your old posts. If done effectively, it helps a reader find related your content, which increases the probability they discover something they enjoy and would recommend to others. For example, I wrote an article on "Classic Bollywood movies" (which I wrote because keyword had good search volume). In this article, I said that Bollywood stars were India's equivalent of Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. When I wrote that line, I had planned to write subsequent articles on these two actors. Once the articles on Depp and Pitt were written, I went back and updated the original Bollywood piece.
2. Some article hosting sites will feature authors and articles. If your article host has this, it is worth your while to apply for a feature. I am an author on InfoBarrel and submit every one of my articles as a potential feature. So far, roughly 40% of my work is being showcased on InfoBarrel's front page.
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. Feed the article to your social media (StumbleUpon, Facebook, Pintrest, etc) so that as many people as possible know about your article. In Point 2, the use of Twitter was discussed.
