If you own a website or blog that contains keyword optimized content and it getting a decent flow of traffic, Google’s Adsense program just might be your most reliable source of online passive income.

In case you’re not familiar with it, Adsense is a free program that allows you to earn money by displaying Google ads on your websites and blogs. The program is free to sign up for and if you own your website and know how to access the code in the backend, you can host Adsense ads.

Your first step is to sign up with Google Adsense and get approved. You’ll need to supply information such as your name, address and telephone number along with your website details. But it’s pretty easy to apply and get approved. Your next challenge will be to create a website or blog that attracts lots of people who will consume your content and click on your ads. Here’s some bonus advice for you. Be sure to read the terms and conditions for Google Adsense placement before you start inserting ad codes on your websites.

1. Create content on a topic that is narrowly focused and deep
Many people in their enthusiasm and passion for several topics will try to combine them on one blog. To be effective you really want to focus in on a particular aspect of a topic and then delve deep. What you’re going for is the long tail, specific keywords that people use when they know exactly what they are looking for.

2. Commit to creating quality, relevant, original content.
For SEO purposes, and to attract the best quality, targeted traffic to your sites, you should focus on creating good content. This can be in the form of text, video or audio, but to be the most effective it should be unique.

3. Take the time to let the blog age while building up content, traffic, back links and page rank.
Rather than running right out the moment you set up your blog to insert Adsense, give your blog some time to gain some traction. Let your domain age a bit, start generating a nice quantity of back links and build up a decent amount of traffic so that when you launch Adsense on your site it will be most effective.

4. Use content-sharing sites such as Hubpages.com and Squidoo.com
Content sharing sites allow you to split the ad revenues from programs like Adsense, Amazon, and eBay when you post your content on their site. You would create some fresh articles on your topic, post them on these sites with links back to your blogs and you will begin to generate residual or passive income.

5. Choose one income stream and stick with it
I will tell you that this piece of advice is controversial because some marketers will swear by loading up their sites with all kinds of revenue generators, but when you provide too many options for your visitors to choose from you will confuse them. What does a confused mind always do? That’s right. It says, “No.” So, choose one passive income stream and focus on developing its potential before you start crowding your blog and irritating your visitors.

Rinse & repeat! Once you’ve got a blog set up and earning passive income with Adsense, repeat and set up another and another until you’ve built your own little niche blogging empire that cranking out passive income for you.

(Part 2)
Copyright 2009 by Willie Crawford

In part-1 of this article we looked at the fact that you
begin a video by identifying it’s purpose and then by
identifying the proper keywords to target.

Let’s continue by looking at the format.  Video sharing
sites accept many different video formats but some are
accepted more than others.  For example, many of the
more popular sites won’t allow you to upload flash files.

You are relatively safe if you go with .avi, .mpeg or
.wmv although it’s also fairly easy to convert your
videos to multiple formats with most video editing
software.

Also many video sharing sites limit you to uploading
files no larger than 100meg. So, convert your file to
the different formats, and see which gives you the
best quality compression, and also confirm that the
sound quality is not distorted.

I use, and encourage using automated video submission
software. I  upload a video once to Easy Push Button
Traffic, select the sites that I want to submit to, and
let the server-based software do the tedious part. If the
video is in the most commonly accepted format, it will be
accepted by practically all of the sites.

Note: You should only submit your videos to sites that
are appropriate, and in the categories that are
appropriate. Doing otherwise is very likely to just get
your account canceled by the video sharing sites.

You also want to keep your videos relatively short.
Sites like YouTube limit a video to 10 minutes in
length. Your viewers also often have very short attention
spans -  another reason keeping your video short is a
good idea. You need to learn to keep your message succinct
and then issue a call to action.

At the end of the video, you always want to tell your
viewer what to do next.  You can do that with a final
screen that has the url to your target site, along
with instructions telling them to visit now.

Flash videos actually allow you to physically,
automatically redirect your viewers, but sites such
as YouTube won’t accept flash videos.

Let’s back up for a minute and look at your video’s
title. It must promise a benefit for watching, contain
your target keywords, and be enticing. If your title
doesn’t grab the viewers’ attention and get them to
watch the video, nothing else really matters. So do
spend a lot of time crafting your titles.

Also spend a lot of time crafting your descriptions
that you will enter at the video sharing sites.  The
description should contain your url at the very
beginning, to include the http://  This will make
your link clickable, and many people will click
through to your site right from the description. That
IS what you want isn’t it?

That description should contain your target, long-tail
keywords.  You also will enter these long-tail keywords
in as “tags” at sites that use tags. Tags are essentially
the same as keywords. Someone entering a tag or keyword
term into a search box at a video sharing site are more
likely to find your video if you target the proper
keywords.

I’m assuming that you already know how to record your
videos. However, you can use anything from Camtasia
(screen capture video), to PowerPoint presentations,
to simple videos recorded with your Flip camera. It
depends upon your purpose in making the video.

As an example, many of the videos that I create are
intended to sell a piece of software. When selling
software, one of the objections that you have to
overcome is the fear the customer has that he won’t
be able to use the software.

Your customer may believe that the software does all
of the things mentioned on your webpage, and that
it’s easy for more technical people.  However, they
may not believe that they can do it.  That’s where a
Camtasia video of you actually using the software
comes it. It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt how
easy the software is to use, shows how the software
actually works, and even shows how fast using the
software is.

Remember, you need to keep that video to 10 minutes
or less. If you need more than 10 minutes to do your
demonstration video, break it up into 10-minutes or
less segments.

After you’ve created the videos, you need to decide
where to submit them.  The reality is that fewer than
two dozen video sharing sites get the majority of
the traffic, so those are the ones that you need to
submit to.   I mentioned in Part-1 of this article
that I use http://EasyPushButtonTraffic.com  They
submit to all of the most significant sites, and
they submit in a fashion that gets the videos
accepted and displayed. They are also very
inexpensive and allow you to submit an unlimited
number of videos each month.

Most of the other sites that I’ve looked at allow you
to submit up to a certain limit each month, and if
you are in a very competitive niche, you may need
to submit more.

I also like to post my videos to my blogs. My blogs
are configured to automatically notify Twitter when
I post, so my Twitter followers instantly come to
check out my latest video.

My Twitter account is configured to automatically
post to FaceBook and Squidoo, so my audience on
those very popular sites are also notified whenever
I post a new video.

The popular video sharing sites get millions of
visitors and your properly submitted, search engine
optimized videos will be found by these people if
you followed the tips already covered in parts 1
and 2 of this article.

Now, it’s time to get busy creating and submitting
those videos. Before you know it, submitting videos
using an automated video submission service such
as Easy Push Button Traffic will be one of your
favorite, very effective ways of generating free
website traffic.
