Ah Myspace

So, with all the adword and adsense, it makes sense that if done the right way you could actually pay your adword budget with earnings from the adsense profit margin. Now we enter into online internet marketing. A concept I am still learning about, a topic that I think that is ever growing. And lucky for us, Google has again jumped on board, or rather is letting us jump on board by providing a tool called Google Analytics. I personal have yet to use this tool. So if any one has advice, comments or information, please feel free to comment on this blog about it.

Until you get your adwords campaign going there is a "free" form of marketing called 'viral' marketing. Now I know it sounds bad, but it is a term given to word-of-mouth marketing. Social or network marketing. How, who, why, where and when? Well, Myspace and Facebook are a good example of this and more recently Twitter.

These are all examples of social networking hubs. Places where people can share information about each other, pictures, employment and education, email and chat, plus all the plentiful and useless applications and games, mobster this, your pornstar name that. The point is, these are great free places to network your brand, ie, your self for free. Obviously, as your enterprise grows and so does your desire for greater income, you will need to employ advertising either on your own or with a professional company or pherhaps a combination of the two.

Just as a reminder, in terms of Google Adsense, for me personally, I could not get adsense to work on Myspace. It was at this point in time I refocused my efforts on a different form of passive income, as I have a full time well paying job, I was in search of a low effort passive income. All the time being realistic that the level of this income would be proportional to my amount of effort. Initially, Google adsense on its own seemed like a possible solution. But without much internet experience, nil webmaster skills, and no website of my own, it kinda fell into a heap - initially.

Passive Income

Now, I learnt alot about Google Adsense the hard way. I stumbled on to a guy named Joel Comm. I have never met Joel or had studied what he has to say and what he offers. But in essence, passive income from Google Adsense seems viable - if you are getting the traffic through your site. Now I have read that some people are earning +$250K a year USD from Adsense. Make from this what you will.

I thought to my self, well I need a web page to get some Google Adsense going to start earning myself some passive income, easy. Right? Well, unless you already have a web page, you need to get on, or atleast get online, a blog, a forum or something similar. Then you need to apply for Google Adsense, then you need to apply it to your site/page. Here lyes within my first lesson.

I caught Joel on one of his videos saying that some people have made a decent profit from Myspace and Facebook. Now although this may be true and possible, with my low level of computer knowledge and webmaster skills left me a little bit limited in "simply" applying the HTML Google Adsense code to one of these sites. I personaly have not tried applying it to Facebook, I have however tried to apply it to Myspace. There maybe a way to do it. But I can tell you that I failed. Myspace kept deleting the code. Looking on the Google Adsense blog I have read that both Facebook and Myspace block these codes, basically for use by them selves or other private adds, and really, why not, it makes sense.

So after falling a bit flat footted by not having a site to place Adsense on I made this blog, as you will notice that Google has placed adds on this page. Now as a bit of a disclaimer for those of you who do not already know, it is an offence under the Google Adsense terms and conditions to encourgae people to click on adds placed on your website/page. Thus, as I write about Google Adsense I stress I am writing for information purposes about my experiences and I do NOT encourage you to click on any adds that may appear with this blog.
