Concentrate first on your posts rather than your adsense ads

If you are just starting with your blog do not concern yourself much with the adsense ads.

Put more thought in your posts, because the posts are the one that will invite in readers to your blogs.  Do not be afraid to go back in your other posts, reread it and if you see something wrong edit it, if you want to add additional points go for it.  There is always a room for improvements.

One tip I have when posting is make your topic relevant.  As I have emphasized in several occasions, make sure that when your visitors are finish reading your post they should have learned something from it, and that learning should not be that they would not want to read another of your articles.

Back to the point I am making, write quality first then quantity second posts, and when you see that they are coming in - your visitors, that your blog's traffic is increasing, then you could think of making something out of those adsense ads.

Think of a good name for your blog

That goes for both the blog and the blog's url addess.

Thinking of a good name for your blog is important, because you have to consider your first time visitors, if you want them to return to your blog.  They must be able to remember what your blog's name is or even just a portion of it, so that they could google  search it.

A good blog name will be something memorable, and something relating to the posts you made in your blog.

So, before you hack away in posting numerous posts in your blog, even before you start a blog.  Try to come up first with a good blog name.  As the saying goes -"A good name goes a long way."

Don't be afraid to mix it up

Keyword here is experiment.  Try to move things around your blog, until you are satisfied on how it looks like.  Play with the colors, play with the designs, add elements remove elements, just mix it up until you find something that properly reflects who you are.  Because if you like it then chances are your readers will like it.

Love words and play with them

Well I think this is a given, if you want to be serious in blogging you should have a way with words.  Again you do not need to be an expert writer, as long as you like and love writing(even if the writing does not love you back).  Because if you could do that, then as they say this would be a piece of cake or a walk in the park.

Though if you are not comfortable yet in writing, there is still time.  Write and write and maybe soon it will grow on you but if not then maybe this is not an avenue for you (Which is actually a good thing on my part hehehe less competition for readers).

Another thing is if you want to write, you better be prepared also to read a lot.  Those two things go hand in hand.

Being plain might help you earn more with your blogs

I read this tip somewhere, sorry I forgot where I got it, so if this is from you, message me so that I could properly give you the credit.

So here's the blog tip:

Make your post not so interesting(huh! in my case that is easily done).  The idea here is that when your readers become disinterested with what you are saying they tend to wander on the different areas of your blog.   Hopefully the ads from adsense will get their attention and when they click it, voila! instant earning for you.

Do not over think much what you are putting in your blog, because the post you are making is not the one that makes you money, it is the advertisements.  The purpose of your blog is to reel in readers, but your goal is to let them click on those advertisements without directly telling them.  Hmmm... much like fly fishing... hooking them with fake bait :)

In order for you to double your chances of getting some readers, is to able to blog in two places at once, and that is what YouSayToo.com offers.  Once you made an account with YouSayToo, you will now be eligible to add your pre-existing blogs.  In my case my blog from blogger.  Once the blog is added at YouSayToo, then all you need to do is continue blogging in your existing blog, which is then automatically updated with your second blog at YouSayToo.

Blend in your adsense to your blog

So you are planning to earn with adsense.  You got your account approve and its time to place the ads in your site.  You then get to thinking hmmmm... because I'll earn from the ads in my adsense I'll have to make it as colorful as I can, so that it will attract a lot of viewers that hopefully will click on it.  Great idea, right?  Well, I have to break it to you I think that will be the worst idea you will have with adsense

The more that it will look like an advertisement, the more that people will ignore it.  If people then classifies your blog as a site dedicated only in making money from the ads in adsense, they will avoid it like the plague.     The best thing you can do then is have those adsense ads blend in with your blog.  The more that it looks like a part of your blog and not sticking out like a sore thumb, the more chances that viewers will click on it.

Go then to your adsense account then try to modify your ads(change the color, the font, etc...) so that it seems like an integral part of your blog.

Make sure that readers get something out of your blog

If you want to have some regular readers to your blog, make sure that they get something out of your blogs.  What I mean is that after they finish reading your blog they will feel a bit smarter because of what you have written.  Again make it your job to educate and inform.  It is always a good feeling to know that you have learned something new, try to invoke that feeling to your readers.

It does not mean that you should only write high concept ideas, again you could write anything that you are knowledgeable about and that you want to share to other people who might benefit from your knowledge.  This could include mundane things from what color matches this color to what you need to survive in the jungles of the Amazon.  The point is be informative, they might not use it today but that knowledge will come in handy someday.

Blog clearly so that you could deliver the point you are making

This does not mean that you need to have an English major(it helps if you do though not really required), what I mean is to be as clear as possible in conveying your message.

I for one commits a lot of grammatical errors when writing but I'll try to limit it as much as I possible can.  Not all of us could hire editors anyways.

My rule of thumb is if it sounds or reads OK and the point I want to make is clear then I could breathe easily.  Though if people wants to correct your grammar or spelling, welcome it.  Editing your work is not that difficult anyways.

So, blog away the more you do it the better you will become.

Blog only what you know

So you decided you want to blog, so that you could continue on your dream of earning with your blog. The next question is what do you blog about?  It comes down to what you know and what you are passionate about.

There's no point in blogging about something you do not know or something that does not hold your interests because that will show on your write-ups. If you are not interested the readers will not be interested as well.

Write first for yourself, because you are your first and best audience. Because you know what you like, and if you like something it is easy to talk about. Just imagine that your blog is a conversation between you and someone else, if the topic is something you do not know, all you could really say is.... uhmmm.... uh..huh.... or you just keep your mouth shut.  If the the topic is something your passionate about, even heaven can not stop you in talking about it.

So write about something you know. Enthusiasm is infectious if you feel good about what you are writing, the reader will feel good as well. Who knows that they might come back for a second serving, and you will find yourself a regular reader.

Blog first before considering making any money

You have written two or three sentences, you posted it in the internet and congratulations you have your first blog. Hmmmm… then an idea pops up in your head. I want to make money out of these sentences. You heard somewhere that the best place to earn with your blog is by adding adsense. So you signed up with a google adsense account. You got crazy and placed every available ad that adsense allows. 1 Leaderboard - check, 1 wideskyscraper - check, 1 box - check. Not yet satisfied you need to place more from adsense. 1 link unit - check, 1 adsense for search - check, and 1 adsense for feeds - check. Truly this is a foolproof plan in starting your money-making blog empire. All you have to do now is wait for the dollars to trickle in - Kaching! Kaching! A day passed, no changes in your earnings with adsense. You thought to yourself adsense must need some more time to reflect your big bucks earnings. You decided you could wait and check a week after but still no changes, then a month after and still there still no changes. Only at that moment did it sink in you, that dream car that you were dreaming of will stay a dream. You then breakdown and cry, you cry so much until you wasted away into an empty husk. This is a true story, well not the wasting away into an empty husk part, but the belief that making money with blogging is easy. Truth be told I don't know anybody personally who is earning good money with blogging. Hopefully that puts doubt in you, before you decide leaving your regular paying job with the uncertainty of internet money. Though I am not saying that this could not be done. But those who "made it" has struggled to a lot of trials and errors before they arrived to where they are now. My tip for you is this, if you are not discouraged yet, go into the habit of posting in your blog regularly. Do this for a couple of months, do not think of making money just yet. Just write and write even at those times that you do not feel like writing you write some more. If you could do this, without checking yourself in an asylum, then maybe then you could think of monetizing your blog. A word to the wise though, even if you have written several epics, posted thousands of times in your blogs, it is still no guarantee that you'll make any money out of your blogs.
