Assalamu Alaikum, dear! Naveed Shah here from AlphaPost. Many of you ask me, "Naveed dear, how can I earn money from my free Blogger blog?" It's a great question! Today, I want to show you some simple ways to make your blog earn for you, even with a free Blogger setup. We will talk about AdSense, Adsterra, and Monetag. Let's make it happen!
โ The Basics: What You Need First
Before you start putting ads, you need a few things. These are super important, dost!
- โธGood Content: Your blog needs helpful, original posts. Write about things you know and love. Aim for at least 15-20 good posts before applying for ads.
- โธSome Visitors: Ads make money when people see them or click them. So, share your blog on social media like Facebook, WhatsApp, or Instagram. Tell your friends and family.
- โธImportant Pages: Create "About Us", "Contact Us", and "Privacy Policy" pages. These show you are serious about your blog.
Always remember: Quality content brings visitors. Visitors bring money. Focus on helping your readers first!
๐ฐ Method 1: Google AdSense (The Gold Standard)
AdSense is Google's ad program. It's very popular and reliable. It shows ads that match your blog's topic.
How to Apply for AdSense:
- โธGo to AdSense: Open a web browser and search for "Google AdSense". Go to their official website.
- โธSign Up: Click "Sign Up Now" or "Get Started". You will use your Google account.
- โธAdd Your Blog: It will ask for your website URL. Put your Blogger blog address here (like "yourblogname. blogspot. com").
- โธReview and Connect: Google will give you a code. You need to paste this code into your Blogger blog's theme HTML. Go to Blogger, then "Theme", then "Edit HTML". Find the
< head>section and paste the code right after it. Save the theme. - โธWait for Approval: Google will review your blog. This can take a few days or even a few weeks. They check if your blog follows their rules and has good content.
Tips for AdSense Approval:
- โธMake sure your content is 100% original. Don't copy from others.
- โธHave those important pages: About Us, Contact Us, Privacy Policy.
- โธYour blog should look clean and easy to use.
- โธAvoid any bad or illegal content.
Once approved, Google will start showing ads on your blog. You earn money when people click on these ads or when many people just view them.
๐ฅ Method 2: Adsterra (A Great Alternative)
Sometimes, AdSense can be hard to get approval for, especially for new blogs. Don't worry, dost! Adsterra is a fantastic alternative. They often approve blogs faster and have different kinds of ads.
How to Use Adsterra:
- โธGo to Adsterra: Search for "Adsterra" and go to their website.
- โธSign Up as Publisher: Choose "As a Publisher" and create an account. It's usually quick.
- โธAdd Your Website: Once logged in, click "Add New Website". Put your Blogger blog URL.
- โธChoose Ad Units: Adsterra offers many ad types like banners, pop-unders, social bar, and direct links. Start with a simple "Display Banner" or "Social Bar" ad.
- โธGet Code: Adsterra will give you an ad code.
- โธPlace Code in Blogger: Go to your Blogger dashboard. Click on "Layout". Then click "Add a Gadget" where you want the ad to appear. Choose "HTML/JavaScript" gadget. Paste the Adsterra code into this gadget and save.
Adsterra can be very good for blogs with any amount of traffic. They are more flexible than AdSense for beginners.
๐ฏ Method 3: Monetag (Pop-unders & Push Notifications)
Monetag (formerly known as PropellerAds) is another powerful ad network. They are famous for "pop-under" ads and "push notifications." These can earn you good money if used correctly.
How to Use Monetag:
- โธGo to Monetag: Search for "Monetag" and visit their website.
- โธSign Up as Publisher: Create an account as a publisher.
- โธAdd Your Website: Add your Blogger blog URL to your account.
- โธVerify Your Blog: Monetag might ask you to add a small code to your Blogger's theme HTML to prove you own the blog. Do this like you did for AdSense (in the
< head>section). - โธChoose Ad Formats:
- โธPop-under: This ad opens in a new window behind the current one. It's very common. Get the code.
- โธPush Notifications: This asks your visitors if they want to get notifications from your blog. If they click "Allow", you can send them updates and earn money when they see ads through these notifications. Get the code for this too.
- โธYou can also try their "On-Click" ads or "In-Page Push" (banner-like ads).
- โธPlace Code in Blogger: For pop-unders or On-Click, you can place the code in an HTML/JavaScript gadget in your Blogger layout. For Push Notifications, you might need to add a small code in the
< head>of your theme.
Monetag often has fast approval and can give good earnings, especially with push notifications if you have many subscribers.
๐ Important Tips for More Earnings
- โธDon't Overdo Ads: Too many ads can make your blog slow and annoy visitors. Keep a good balance.
- โธFocus on Traffic: The more people visit your blog, the more money you can make. Share your posts everywhere!
- โธTest Different Ads: Try different ad types from Adsterra or Monetag. See which ones earn you the most.
- โธBe Patient: Making money online takes time and effort. Don't give up quickly. Keep writing good content.
- โธCheck Your Stats: All these platforms have dashboards. Check your earnings and see what's working.
You can do this, dost! Start with one ad network, get comfortable, and then explore others. Your free Blogger blog has the power to earn you money. Keep writing, keep sharing, and keep growing!
