Which Books Will Help Make Money With Google AdSense?

Books and Money and Google AdSense? Are You Nuts?

If you want to make money with Google AdSense you have to know what you know. You can do this in many ways there are many choices out there, just as there are many points of view on the art of making money.

The fact is that in this business if you do not know what you are doing, you will certainly not make money. The learning curve is huge, and you will want to get a short cut on this curve. This is a hard business to be in.

There is also the fact that while many do not make money with AdSense, more and more people are trying to learn. This is a hard process, and it has an effect on your finances. However, knowledge is power, and sometimes this power can come from books on the very business, this being Google AdSense, you want to make money with.

Books are The Key to Google AdSense

Google AdSense

Google AdSense For Dummies
Amazon Price: $4.48
List Price: $24.99

These Books? How Will They Make Me Money?

I asked myself that same question when I bought these books, but they are the foundation to what i found has improved my success online. The reason I prefer these books is because they explain Google.

If you are new to the online world having something so basic is vital to seeing more money sooner than if you simply lurked through website after website on how to make money with the Google AdSense Program.

If there is any book which I can say made the biggest difference it is the Google AdSense for dummies, I am certain that without this book I would have made a few more mistakes in the long run then I have with this books.  The other one, is a broad outline of the entire Google business program, from AdSense to AdWords and Analytics.

A Blog?

This is hubpages, and this is not a blog, but the majority of people here also have other sites up and running as well, blogs, or other online articles. The point is not to put all your eggs in one basket, the more you do in the wider audience the more you will make in terms of earnings.

One of the best books out there is problogger. I would say that right after getting Google AdSense for dummies this has helped me a lot. Both writers are very clear about money and what it took to make that money, both with Google AdSense and other affiliate programs. They make it quite clear that blogging is a business, and you will need to focus to improve.

The other book shows how to brainstorm and while I am not as trilled with the book below problogger, it does have a few good point about thinking through your blog, and making it look more professional.  if I had to choose I would say problogger, but both these books can help you.

SEO-- Really?

Okay, I admit it right now, but there are tons more people who know a lot more about SEO also known as Search Engine Optimization. The point is that beyond simply reading their websites or blogs and hubs, I've gone off and bought a number of books. It is important to get organic traffic to your writing and teh only way to get organic traffic is through the use of search engines such as Bing, Google and Yahoo.

SEO is one of the hardest things to both learn and understand well. It is an ever changing process, where rules say like PageRank, or linking, or keywords are the basic foundation, but how this helps you in the search engines does change. SEO for dummies is by far a good book to help you learn the basics.

Amazon

Amazon.com For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers))
Amazon Price: $20.72
List Price: $21.99

Amazon... There is a Book for that one as well.

I can't say enough for this book. It has made me money, in fact I've had a return on investment with this books. I have learned more from this one book about Amazon.com and product placement than anywhere else.

This is is a basic book and gives the details that you will need to make money with amazon.com (I understand that some places do not have amazon.com, but for those who do...) It really does help with the whole idea of where to place your book lists, or your amazon bookstore, and more importantly how to do so correctly.

The reason I mention this book is that while it focuses on amazon, there are many points such as proper choice of keywords that apply to Google AdSense.  As amazon is an affiliate program, like AdSense, you can learn a lot by looking at Google from a different companies' view point.

Make Money Writing?

Yes, you can make money writing, which is why you are probably writing on hubpages. The point is that everyone wants to make money with what they do. This includes their online business.

While writing articles is a good beginning the idea in this business is that you need to know. You need to know what works and what does not not. You need to think about your business, how you build it and how much it can potentially make for you.

Part of that comes with experience, and part of it comes with simply reading about others experience. For some of these books,such as tips on effective sales headlines, I have found that while specific to one general format you can change ti up and build it for where you business is, and where you want it to go.

When you think of yoru websites and hubs and blogs as articles, then you can expand these to make you more money online in the long term.

Does This Help?

Many of these books are good, in fact I am partial to the "for dummies" series, mostly because when I need to know something I need to also sometimes see it.  So, yes these books can help you a lot.

 In this business, it is really what you know that counts, and often even on the Internet, we will tell you 99% of what you need to do.  It is not that someone is hiding something, it is more like a small detail that must be done to make more money.

Getting several streams of income is a must, but knowledge is power.

To your success.

Rebecca, sometimes it happens that I come upon a Hubber and just go drifting along from one hub to the next. It happened in your case. I don't remember now where I started, but I then came to read your profile, visited your blog and came back to read this hub to the end. Very good advice and very compactly put. I need this help for sometime now, but was not really able to manage time to give the kind of effort it takes to stay in 'online business'. Thanks for the wonderful, useful Hub. Voted up. And shared.

Hi Rebecca E,

I noticed that someone commented that it's nice to see that people still buy books. You've only to look around my house to know that the book industry is alive and thriving. I think I'm keeping it afloat single handed.

That said, I think I'll start by seeing if my library has a copy of the Amazon book. If it looks useful, I will buy and then colour code (etc).

The other Patricia and I use Amazon on 2 websites, but have little success. I think we need some help, so thanks for the pointer on the book.

This is very good advice...thank you! I have been using Google Adsense since I started writing on HubPages just over a year ago. The next time I am in the bookstore, I will definitely be buying a copy. Or better yet, I should just order it through my Amazon account. Thanks again!

Nell- I do like teh library-- but for me it's the whole, err "colour coding" of said book which makes it near impossible to do this after a time =)

Another much needed hub! I am ordering the "Google Adsense for dummies" (me) and I have my credit card out and ready to click away. I will begin with this book and then when I am a master (big laugh here), I will come back to this hub and order the next book, etc. I will not give up! I plan to make enough money to keep my shih ztu in pupperoni for the next 10 years. Love'ya Rebecca.

I will have to look into how to get these books. Amazon does not accept PayPal, and no longer having credit cards, my online shopping is limited to sites that accept PayPal.

That said, I'll find a way, I'm sure....this was a great hub, because if I have an actual reference book in my hands, I can go wild with the highlighter markers, post-it flags, and notes in the margins.

None of those things are possible with things residing online or within the computer.

As much as I enjoy my online writing, and the near instant access to information on the www ... I am, at heart, a book addict.

Cheers!

Voted up and useful!

I have the AdSense book. It looks like I'll have to get some more. Alas, I have a long history of buying books faster than I can read them. Building an online business is kind of like building an airplane and trying to fly it at the same time!
