Part-2 (Customizing your blog)

HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE (Part-2)
If you follow my instruction of part-1, you probably made a blog of your own in blogger.com.Now it is the time to customize it.

This post is the continuation of the previous post Make money online Part-1

After creating a blog in blogger.com, now you are ready to customize your blog. You will notice that your title is a hypertext link pointing to your site.
On the right hand side of the page is a section called "Blog Archive"
And below that is an "About Me" section.

You can add and remove any section you like by selecting "Customize" from the top right corner of your screen.

How to remove any page element:

Suppose I want to remove "About Me" box from my page. Select "Customize" Click the edit link on the "About Me" box. I am going to select the "Remove Page Element" option to get rid of this but if you want to keep the "About Me" section just fill in the info boxes and click "Save Changes".

How to add any page element:

OK, now let's add a Page Element. From the main customization screen click the link that says "Add a Page Element" (Use the right hand column box - not the one on the bottom of the page.)

You will get a pop-up screen with a lot of Page Elements listed on it.

Let's add AdSense to our blogs. Click the AdSense "Add to Blog" button. If you don't have an AdSense account follow the instructions to get one. You will get a publisher ID from Google that will enable you to post AdSense ads on your blog. Once you have this pick a Format and use the Blend Template option regarding colors. (it's the default).

Note:If you want to use AdSense channels to track your blogs then you will have to create your AdSense code in AdSense Setup in your AdSense account and then copy/paste the code generated into your blog manually. Don't use the "AdSense" element for this - use the "HTML/JavaScript" element and paste in the code after the box opens.


For right hand column ads I stick to the 160 x 600 vertical Banner Format.

Click "Save Changes" and you will notice that an AdSense box has been added to your right hand column at the top.

Click "View Blog" and see the results.

Note- Don't be afraid to add and delete elements on your blog in the meantime. Play around and learn how to use the Page elements. You can also edit the Blog's type, fonts, colors and element positions. Experiment a bit.


It takes a day or two for Google to recognize your content and place corresponding ads on your site. At first you may only see public service ads until Google figures out your keywords. Just be patient as this is normal. Having said that, I was given ads related to Blogs/Make Money immediately and you may have got appropriate ads as well if you followed my instructions. Why? Remember I told you to use your keywords several times in setting up your blog. I did this so that Google will have no problem figuring out what your blog is about. If your keyword is about something that has advertisements Google will find the ads.

You will have to sit down and write one decent article about your keyword. Later I will show you how to get unique content without writing your own but for now you will have to bare down and do a little typing.

Later folks.
