Before I start this post I want to say that this is for anyone out there that feels unworthy, or feels like they are failing at making money online. There is no technical lesson here only some real life stuff.

I have heard people tell me they weren’t sure about something so they didn’t try it. One of these things is adsense. Do you know how many people I have heard say they are scared to mess up with adsense, so they have shied away till they learn more to be comfortable with it? How can you make money online with adsense if you don’t try it out enough?

We are all full of failures. When you hear about how well guys like Vic, Grizz, and Court do, do you really think they nail every niche they work? You can’t win on every site. Let me give you an example. I have worked 2 niches in the last couple weeks now, that according to the Google keyword tool as well as other search traffic tools should bring in over 90,000 searches a month. They have turned out to be duds! After ranking well for the keywords the traffic was not there. I was able to nail top 3 posts on both of these niches. So what happened? Those 2 niches were failures.

I think its important for those of you who are only making a dollar a day or even 10 dollars a day to remember something. Failing is a part of succeeding. What is a failure? A failure is an expectation of what you think a site should be making and it is not. It causes you to question whether you can make money online or not. Have I ever had my share of these feelings in the past? Heck yes! Sometimes I felt like I was spinning my wheels and not getting anywhere. What changed? Well I just told you those last 2 niches I wored recently were failures right? Wrong!! They really weren’t. I say this because they are still good sites. they still have content, and they still have links. If I ever work something related or similar I now have a place to link from.

Here is what I want you to remember if this post was talking to you.

• Its only a failure when you have given up.
• More growth, more websites, and a bigger network only makes you more powerful.
• Don’t compare with what others are doing. Focus on your own growth.
• Even the Pros have failures.
• Don’t give up!!

Have you found that you have the traffic, but no one will click on you ads? Why do some sites convert to adsense clicks and others do not? Its very simple. Those sites do not have either targeted ads or targeted visitors.

Lets put up a couple scenarios.

• Scenario one. I build a site about making money online. However in none of my posts do you see the phrase make money online or anything related. None of my titles have make money online, and I just talk about how I earn money on the Internet in different ways, but never actually use any words which trigger ads for making money online. My question to you is, will people click other ads that may pop up like eBay or shopping ads? Why did they come to your site? It was to find information on making money online. If you don’t provide the keywords that trigger the relevant ads then how do you expect to make any money?

• Scenario two. Lets say you build a site about making money blogging. You talk about tips and tricks related to blogging, and even use the right keywords regularly to trigger perfect ads, but no one is clicking. Oh, and did I mention that you also have adsense on the right sidebar below your latest posts? So you wonder why your CTR is only 2%. Maybe you should put it in a place that is right in the face of your reader? Or are you scared that your readers won’t like it? Are you writing to please your readers, or are you trying to make money online? Its your choice of course.

• Scenario three. You build a blog, you target the right keywords within your posts, you have ads placed so they are the first thing people see when they come to your sight. You also have a good idea of what your ads which are triggered by the keywords in your posts will pay. You also know that there are multiple keywords you have specifically ranked for which all relate to the same niche. This is what brings you extremely relevant traffic to the majority of your posts. Bingo! You make money online. Then you do it all over again and again because you know how to make money online. And its easy!

For some bloggers who serve up ads using Google adsense, earnings have never been better. I can tell you that my own earnings have been up 50% in the last couple months, and continue to climb. The beauty of making money online as a blogger is that I can work when I want. My income only continues to grow, and I don’t have to worry about losing a job through an employer.
