1. Google Adsense
This is the most popular way to make money with Google.
Google Adsense is a program that pays you to run ads on your blog or website.
Each time a visitor gets interested in the ads, you earn a commission. The more
visitors your website or blog attracts, the more ad interest you will record,
and the more money you will make.
So, if you have a blog or website that consistently
generates a decent amount of traffic, then you should monetize it with Google
Adsense and earn cool cash. However, you must bear in mind that adsense
publishers are bound by stringent rules; so you must be disciplined, legit and
honest if you must partner with Google through their Adsense program.
2. Google Adwords
This is the twin of Google Adsense, but it differs slightly
in that it is meant for advertisers. While Google Adwords will not fetch you
money directly, it can help you attract customers to your business or visitors
to your blog, which ultimately means profits for you.
One major advantage of Google Adwords is that it presents
your advertisements to internet users who are searching Google with keywords
related to your advert. So, your chances of achieving your campaign goals are
very bright as the ads and audience are well targeted.
3. Search Engine Optimization
Google lists websites on its results pages based on the
relevance of the websites to search queries and on the authority of the
websites.
The position of a particular website or blog in Google’s
search rankings can be improved (this is what is called Search Engine
Optimization), but this requires thorough knowledge of the various factors that
Google uses to rank websites and expertise at using these factors to a
website’s advantage.
Many website owners now hire SEO experts to improve their
Google rankings. If you have a deep understanding of SEO especially on Google,
you can make money optimizing people’s websites.
4. Blogger
Owned by Google, Blogger is a free platform; just like
WordPress and Tumblr, for setting up and running blogs. If you have some
knowledge, experience, or passion for a topic that you would love to share with
others, then you can start a blog on that topic and share your knowledge with
others who are willing to learn from you.
Once you have built a large readership, your blog will
generate huge traffic consistently, and you can monetize your blog with
Adsense, affiliate marketing, sales of ad private space, and so on.
5. Google Checkout
This is a payment-handling program owned by Google. While it
won’t fetch you money directly, it can greatly boost your conversions and
profits by serving as an easy means to receive payment from your customers or
clients online. People love convenience, and they are more likely to buy a
product or service if the method of payment is very convenient; and that’s what
Google Checkout offers.
6. Google Jobs
This sticks out from the list because it doesn’t come with
the work-from-home advantage. From time to time, Google announces job openings
in its offices in the US and other countries, calling for applications from
qualified individuals.
If you will love to work with one of the greatest company in
the world, if you have what it takes, then apply for a job at Google when the
next openings are announced, and you could end up working with one of the
world’s biggest companies.
7. YouTube
YouTube is a program that allows internet users to upload
vides to the web. Not only does YouTube allow you to share your videos with the
world, but it also allows you to make money from them. By simply monetizing
your videos with Adsense or by other methods, you will earn some cool cash
based on the number of views that your videos attract.
8. Google Keyword Planner
Google Keyword Planner helps you figure out the words and
phrases that people are using in their search engine queries. With this tool,
business owners and bloggers can find out which keywords are most likely to
attract visitors to their websites and blogs. And by optimizing their websites
for these keywords, they will attract targeted visitors who will most likely
take any desired action. This tool won’t fetch you quick cash, but it can help
you generate huge profits in the long term.
9. Consulting
If you are highly experienced with any of Google’s tools
listed above, you can make money by teaching others who are willing to learn
how to use these tools. For example, if you understand everything about SEO,
you can run an e-course or membership program that teaches people how to use
and make the most from SEO.
10. Write a book
Another way to make money from Google is to write a book
that contains information on how to use and make the most from any of Google’s
tools and programs that you have used to achieve great results repeatedly.
