How to create your first Google Blog
This is a step by step guide that helps you create your first free Google Blog. I will also show you how to add Google Adsense ads so that you can earn money writing online from home.
Targeted Google ads are designed to appear on your Blog in a way that the ads will only be connected to the subject you write about. This way the Blog looks good and you have a better chance of readers clicking on the ads.
When you add the Adsense Gadget to your Blog then Google does the rest. It will automatically pick the most relevant ads for the subjects you are writing about. You get paid when the reader clicks on the advert.
It does not matter whether the reader actually buys or joins what the ads are advertising. The reason you are paid for clicks is that through your Blog you brought a potential customer to the company that had the ad on your page.
This is how you can earn money writing free Blogs!
