A BLOGGER SHOULD NOT BE MOTIVATED WITH GOOGLE ADSENSE ALONE

Blogging could be a boring activity to a blogger if he or she is not into it. Every blogger needs motivation to write because if not he or she may eventually quit. Many bloggers today are highly motivated with the monetary benefits of blogging like Google adsense earning. In fact new bloggers began to blog because of the monetary benefits. Blogging should not be like that because the blogger will get disappointed if he or she ends up earning nothing. Frustration and disappointment are the key ingredients for a blogging failure. The key ingredient of successful blogging is to write things that you enjoy about. Because you enjoy those things, you are motivated to write and write and write. I’ve noticed that the most successful bloggers in the internet (financially) are those that enjoy what they are writing.

DEPPRESSED WITH MY ZERO EARNINGS WITH GOOGLE ADSENSE AND INFOLINKS

I’ve been blogging actively for less than 2 weeks now and my Google adsense & Infolinks ads are also less than 2 weeks old. I have checked my earnings with the 2 advertisement sites and I’ve saw a whooping zero earning. You may be laughing at me now because I am expecting earnings already despite the fact that I’ve already started blogging for less than 2 weeks. Hahaha…this demonstrates my lack of patience. I’ve already posted more than 20 articles that are getting 1-2 digit page views a day without ad clicks. I am now realizing that successful blogging is about hard work – writing hundreds or even thousands of articles to generate traffic and possibly to earn money through Google adsense and other blog monetization programs. I should not lose hope because I know I can do it.

CAN I COMPETE WITH eHOW.COM? HOW?

How to compete with eHow.com?

eHow.com is a good source of articles that teach us step-by-step on how to do almost anything. It is a very popular and very useful site. I am planning to write how-to articles in this blog but I am afraid if I can compete with eHow.com in the SERP (Search Engine Rank Page) considering that eHow.com is already an established website. Almost all “how-to’s” were already published in eHow.com so it will be hard to create new how-to articles. I cannot join the revenue sharing scheme of eHow.com because I think international writers are not eligible to the program. Even if I am eligible with the program, I will still be choosing to write my own how-to articles on my site because I would rip all the monetary benefits from the ads (e.g. Google adsense).

I am still enthusiastic to write how-to articles even though eHow.com and other how-to sites are there. Let the search engines decide on who will be on the top.
My main motivation to write how-to articles is not to compete with how-to sites but to learn as I write. The best way to learn how-to do things is to teach them to others –through writing.

I have already many how-to topics (in mind) that I am planning to write and publish. I hope that my future how-to articles will help others.

HOW TO OPEN A GMAIL ACCOUNT? Step by Step Instructions

GMAIL (Google Mail) is one of the most popular free web-based email services today. It is hosted by GOOGLE, the leader in internet technology. Many are switching to GMAIL because it offers a larger disc space, faster loading of messages, added security, and many more that other free web-based email services. The reasons why I switched to gmail is its professional look, fast loading of messages, and value added services that I did not find in other websites that offer free email accounts. It is not surprising that many internet users are asking the following questions: “How do I create a gmail account?” or “How do I sign up a gmail account?” or “How do I register a gmail account?” As an answer to these questions I made this article to teach you on how to open your first gmail account. As a gmail user, I can say generally that I am very contented on how gmail works.

It is very easy to create a gmail account. Just follow these steps:

• In your browser type http://www.gmail.com or simply type gmail and press CONTROL + ENTER.



• Look at the sign up button and click it. You will then be directed to a webpage containing a form which you will fill in.




• Fill up the form correctly. Read the instructions thoroughly and do not rush.

• You should register a gmail user name that you could easily remember. It should also be unique which means nobody with gmail account uses it. There is the “check availability” button there which you could use to check whether your desired user name is taken already or still available. If the user name is unavailable, gmail will suggest available keywords related to the unavailable username you entered. Although you can still enter another username of your choice just be sure that it is not being used by other gmail users.

• In choosing your gmail password, make sure that it is hard enough for others to guess correctly. It is not advisable to use your birth date. You should enter a minimum of 8 characters in length. I would advise you to make a password made up of letters and numbers (alphanumeric). The most important thing to remember is NEVER FORGET YOUR PASSWORD.

• Choose the best security question and NEVER forget the specific answer for that question. You will need the answer if in case you forget your password.


• You should also enter a secondary email address (can be your old email account) where gmail will send your password if in case you forget it. If you don’t have other email account, just leave it blank.

• Don’t forget to type the word verification and accept the terms of service (TOS) before submitting the form.

• Congratulations, you’ve just created your gmail account.
