10 Proven Ways to Make Money Through Content Creation
Many people today create blogs on blogger.com without understanding that there are requirements that any good blogger or writer should meet before submitting the website for google adsense approval.
Blogger.com blogs are monetised by Google through their google adsense. A lot of people in order to make a huge income through the blogger, create as many bogs as possible.
A Good Source of Income
Many people create blogs on Blogger.com with the hope of making money through Google AdSense. This is a good dream because Google monetisation is one of the best, if not the best.
When you are monetised with google adsense, it can become a very good source of income to you when it is done properly. Also your blogger.com can be rejected by Google monetisation.
This is the reason, it is good to know the requirements before you apply for Google monetisation, otherwise you may be rejected.
Today, a lot of writers and bloggers are rejected to participate in Google monetisation because they want quick money, because of this, they tend to rush the registration very fast and abandon the necessary requirements.
Some of them will publish a few copied articles, while some others tend to use images from Google without permission. A lot of people make the mistake of trying to apply too early, and expect approval immediately. Such a thinking does not work anywhere.
What Google Wants
Let us understand that Google is not begging anyone to use their blog and advertise, rather, Google wants those nice and quality blogs and websites. They want platforms that are useful, original, trustworthy and quality contents.
Your site must have a unique and interesting website , if you want to be part of Google adsense. Therefore, make sure that your website is unique, it should have unique and original content.
Content should be high-quality, original, and able to attract an audience. It must also be helpful, reliable, people-first content, not content created only to manipulate search rankings.
So, if you are writing through Blogger.com and you want your blog to be monetized, you must treat your blog like a real website, not like a place where you dump random posts.
Below are more than twenty important guides that can help you prepare your blog for AdSense approval and long-term SEO growth.
1. Write Original Content
This is the first and the most important. Infact Google does not joke with this. All your articles or blog must be originally written. It is wrong to copy blogs or articles from other websites and paste them word to word. Google frowns at plagiarism. They do not want copied contents. Search engines also do not reward blogs that only repeat what others have already written. Make your content original. When you talk of originality, you talk of contents that are written in your own words, understanding, experience, story, and explanation. When you are writing anything, add a personal touch to it and make it your own.
2. Write Long and Useful Articles
If you want your blog to be monetised, then you must avoid thin contents. You cannot publish some texts of 200 or 300 words and expect monetization. Sometimes even 400 to 800 words is not enough. The best must be above 1000 words. So, while Google does not officially say that every post must be above 1000 words, long articles often give you more space to explain a topic properly.
A good target is to write at least 1000 to 1200 words for important posts. Some articles can be 1200, 1500, or even 2000 words, depending on the topic. But do not write long nonsense. The goal is not just word count. The goal is value. A 1200-word article that solves a real problem is better than a 3000-word article full of repetition.
3. Choose a Clear Blog Niche
Before you create your blog, define your niche. That is your area of expertise. Your area of concentration. It could be health, sports, drama, personal blog etc. Do not write about everything at once. Today you write about football, tomorrow about cooking, next week about politics, then the next day about phone repair. This can confuse both readers and search engines.
Choose a clear niche. For example:
Faith and inspiration
Health education
Personal finance
Technology tips
Blogging and content creation
Travel guides
Food recipes
Education and exam preparation
Parenting
Business and marketing
A focused niche helps Google understand what your blog is about. It also helps readers trust you faster.
4. Publish Enough Quality Posts Before Applying
This is where many of us make mistakes. Do not just apply for AdSense when your blog has only three or five posts. Prepare your blog first. A good practical target is to have at least 20 to 30 quality articles before applying. I advise you to go further to 40 posts if you can. This is the best. This demands dedication, commitments and seriousness. But you will never regret trying in the first place. Make sure that your blog posts can create value. So an article should be helpful, original, well-arranged, and complete. Do not rush. It is better to have 25 strong articles than 80 weak articles.
5. Use Original Images or Properly Licensed Images
Make sure that the images you upload on the blog are original and connected to what you post. Images are very important, but they can also cause problems.
Do not download random images from Google and use them as if they belong to you. Many images online are protected by copyright. Go to websites like unsplash.com, pixabay.com and pixel.com and download them.
Use original images when possible. Take your own photos, design your own graphics with Canva, or use royalty-free image platforms. If you use free images, check the license properly.
Presently, you can use AI images. You can generate images from chatgpt and elevenlabs.com. Also, you can also create simple featured images using Canva. You can add texts on the images. Add your blog title, topic, or brand name to make the image look original.
6. Avoid Adult, Illegal, or Dangerous Content
Do not use adult, illegal or dangerous contents, like wars, banned drinks and contents in your blog. AdSense has policies that publishers must follow. Google can disable ad serving or even disable an account if a publisher violates AdSense Program policies. (check them here)
Any content that promotes violence, sexual content, illegal drugs, hacking, scams, hate speech, dangerous acts, or fake promises. Even if such content gets attention, it can damage your monetization chance. Write content that is safe for advertisers.
7. Create Important Pages
This is very important. You do this one before you apply for AdSense, your blog should have important pages. These pages make your blog look professional and trustworthy.
Create these pages:
About Us
Contact Us
Privacy Policy
Terms and Conditions
Disclaimer
The About page explains who you are and what your blog is about. The Contact page allows readers and advertisers to reach you. The Privacy Policy is very important because AdSense involves ads, cookies, and user data.
8. Use a Clean Blogger Theme
Your blog design matters. A poor design can make your blog look unserious. Use a clean, mobile-friendly Blogger theme. Avoid themes that are too heavy, too colorful, or full of unnecessary widgets.
Make Sure that Your blog should be easy to read. The menu should be clear. The posts should open properly. The font should not be too small. The background should not disturb the reader. A simple and clean design is better than a complicated design.
9. Make Your Blog Mobile-Friendly
Many readers use phones. If your blog does not display well on mobile devices, people will leave quickly. This can hurt your SEO and user experience. After posting, Check your blog on your phone. Ask yourself: Can I read the text clearly? Can I click the menu easily? Are images displaying correctly? Is the page loading fast? Are there too many pop-ups or distractions? If the answer is no, fix your design before applying for monetization.
10. Improve Your Blog Speed
A slow blog can discourage visitors. If your site takes too long to open, people may leave before reading. This affects traffic, engagement, and SEO.
To improve speed on Blogger: Use compressed images. Then try to avoid too many widgets. Remove unnecessary scripts.
Also, use a simple theme. Do not upload very large images. Avoid too many ads or pop-ups
It is good to increase the speed of your website. It helps readers to navigate easily through the blog. Speed helps both readers and search engines.
11. Do Proper Keyword Research
SEO means helping search engines understand your content so that people can find it. Before writing, think about what people are searching for.
For example, instead of writing only “AdSense,” use a more specific title like “How to Get AdSense Approval on Blogger.com.” This is clearer and easier to rank for.
Use keywords naturally. Do not force them. Write for humans first, then optimize for search engines.
12. Write Strong SEO Titles
Your title is very important. It tells readers and search engines what your article is about.
For example, a weak title will say “My Blog Tips”. But A better title will write
“25 Things to Do Before Applying for Google AdSense on Blogger.com”
A good title should be clear, specific, and attractive. It should make the reader know exactly what they will gain.
13. Use Headings and Subheadings
It is not good to write your blog posts as one long block of text. When blogging use proper headings and subheadings. This makes your article easy to read. Use H2 and H3 headings inside your Blogger post. For example if you are writing about adsense, you can start with What is AdSense? Then other subheadings can be “Why Blogger Blogs Get Rejected”, “How to Write Original Content”, “How to Improve SEO” and “Mistakes to Avoid Before Applying”
These headings and subheadings will help readers scan your article quickly. They also help search engines understand the structure of your content.
14. Add Internal Links
Internal links are very important for your blog posts. When you talk about the Internal links, we mean those links that link a post to another inside the blog. They link a post from one post on your blog to another post on your blog. Internal links help readers stay longer on your site. They also help search engines discover your other pages.
For example, if you write an article about “How to Start a Blog,” you can link to another article about “How to Write Your First Blog Post.” Hence, Do not overdo it. Add links only where they are useful.
15. Add External Links to Trusted Sources
External links are also very important. Use external links in the blog. They are links in your blog that links your blog to another blog that is not inside your blogger.com.
Sometimes, it is good to link to trusted websites, It helps google adsense to rank the blog immediately. Example while writing and mentioning words like policies, statistics, or official rules. For example, if you are writing about AdSense rules, you can refer readers to Google’s official AdSense policies.
This shows that your article is not just opinion. It is supported by reliable sources.
16. Avoid AI Copy-Paste Content Without Editing
Many people now use AI tools to write blog posts. Google has said that its focus is on content quality and helpfulness, not simply whether content is AI-generated or human-generated. (Check it here)
However, if you use AI to produce many shallow, repetitive, or unhelpful posts, your blog may still perform badly. Do not just copy and paste Ai contents, try to do some editing before you post. Garnish the blog post with your thoughts and experiences.
If you use AI, edit the article. Add your own voice. Add examples. Check facts. Make it human, helpful, and original. Do not just copy and paste without reviewing what you copied from the Ai platform.
17. Do Not Publish Empty or Thin Pages
One of my pages was denied because of this mistake. When you talk about Thin contents, it means those contents that have little or no value or lack of information.
They contain much. For example, a post with only three sentences and no real explanation is thin content. A category page with no posts can also look poor. Before applying for AdSense, check your blog and remove or improve weak posts. Every page should have a purpose.
18. Avoid Too Many Ads Before Approval
Some bloggers add many third-party ads, pop-ups, banners, and affiliate links before applying for AdSense. This can make the blog look spammy. Google adsense frowns at this. Try to avoid too many ads before the approval. Keep your blog clean.
19. Build Real Traffic
AdSense approval is easier when your blog looks active and useful. You do not need millions of visitors before applying, but your blog should show signs of real audience value. These are ways you can get traffic:
Share posts on Facebook
2. Share on WhatsApp groups
3. Post on Pinterest
4. Use YouTube descriptions
5. Answer questions in the comment sections
6. Use SEO keywords, you can Build an email list.
Share on TikTok or Instagram Please avoid buying fake traffic. Fake traffic can harm your AdSense account.
20. Make Navigation Easy
Your blog should have a clear menu. Readers should easily find your home page, categories, about page, and contact page. For Blogger.com, create a simple top menu with links like:
Home
About
Contact
Privacy Policy
Blog Categories
21. Avoid Plagiarism in Images, Videos, and Text
Plagiarism is not only about text. It can also happen with images, videos, graphics, and even copied layouts.
Do not steal people’s work. If you use another person’s quote, mention the source. If you use an image, make sure you have permission. Then, if you rewrite someone’s article, make sure it becomes truly original and not just a small change of words.
22. Update Old Posts
SEO is not only about publishing new content. It is also about improving old content. Go back to your old posts and update them.
You can add new information. Then, you can increase the word counts to over 1000 and more. You can also correct errors and improve headings.
If the images were previously plagiarized, you can remove old images and add better images.
Restructure your internal links. Improve the contents and update outdated facts. Fresh and improved content can perform better over time.
23. Avoid Misleading Titles
Do not use titles that deceive readers. For example, do not write “How to Make $1000 Daily from Blogger” if the article does not honestly explain a realistic method.
Clickbait may bring visitors once, but it destroys trust. AdSense and SEO both need trust.
24. Make Your Content Helpful to Real People
This is the heart of everything. Google Search says its systems are designed to prioritize helpful and reliable information created to benefit people, not content made mainly to manipulate ranking.
Before publishing any post, ask yourself: Does this article solve a problem?
Will the reader learn something useful? Is the content original?
Is it better than many articles already online? Did I explain the topic clearly? Would I be proud to share this post with others?
If your answer is yes, you are on the right path.
Common Reasons Blogger Blogs Are Not Monetized
These are the common reasons blogger blogs are monetised. Pay attention to them and correct them. Many Blogger blogs are rejected because of simple mistakes. Some of the common reasons are:
Copied contents: If the contents are copied verbatim. If the contents are not original. Even if you copy the contents, check if there is plagiarism. Always check with duplichecker.com
Few articles and blog posts: if your blog has few articles and blog posts, they will flag it as thin posts. Make sure each blog post is over 1000 words or more.
Poor design: Although this one is not a major reason but one can hurt your blog. Choose a nice theme for the blogs.
No Legal Pages: make sure you have legal pages like privacy policy, about us, disclaimer and contact page,
Avoid copyright images, adult content, and broken links, thin posts.
Applying too early: if you risk monetisation, you will lose the monetisation. My advice is that you have to wait at least 5 to 6 months before applying after the creation of the blog. Do not rush it. Keep filling the blog with posts for now.
Another reason is lack of real value. If your blog does not offer something useful to readers, AdSense may see it as low-value content.
