Casey Stiehm: How to create a Blogspot account and make money with AdSense: Part 1

In the last couple of days, I created a Blogspot account. I then linked it to Google AdSense to show everyone how it works. I am going to describe this in a little more detail. I encourage everyone to create a Blogspot account and follow along with me.

Recently, I created www.CaseyStiehm.blogspot.com. I posted a blog for everyone to read: How to make passive income on the internet: Part 1 and Part 2. I later added Google AdSense. Now, I am going to create a new blog and show you how to link Google AdSense (with screen shots). Here we go:

1. First, create a Blogspot account by going to www.blogspot.com. Click on the “Create a Blog” button.

2. Next, enter your information to create an account. Be sure to check the box next to “I accept the Terms of Service” or Google will not allow you to create your account. Also, be sure to read the “Terms of Service”. Click “Continue” to move to the next page of the setup.

3. You should now get a screen similar to the one below which will allow you to pick a blog title and URL. Make sure to click on “Check Availability” to make sure the URL you want is not currently in use. Click “Continue” to move to the next page of the setup.

4. Now select one of the templates to use for your blog. Your template can be changed later. Click “Continue” to move to the next page of the setup.

5. You will get a confirmation that your blog account has been created and you can start blogging. Click on the orange arrow that says “Start Blogging”.

6. From this screen we could immediately start blogging, however, the idea behind this tutorial is to show you how to make MONEY with your blog. Let’s click on the tab that says “Monetize”.

7. Choose how you would like your Google AdSense ads displayed on your page. I personally like the first option, but feel free to select the layout that works for you. Click “Next” to continue with the AdSense setup.
