How to Start Earning Advertising Revenue

Earning

– From Beginner to First Income

Introduction

Many people starting a WordPress blog dream of generating advertising revenue. However, beginners often struggle to understand how ads are implemented and how income is actually earned. This article explains the basics of ad revenue and guides you step by step from setup to your first earnings.

Understanding Ad Revenue

There are two main types of advertising models:

  1. Pay-per-click ads (e.g., Google AdSense)
    You earn income whenever a visitor clicks an ad. It’s beginner-friendly and scales as your traffic grows.
  2. Affiliate/CPA ads (e.g., A8.net, Rakuten Affiliate)
    You earn commissions when users purchase or sign up for services via your link. Payouts are higher, but conversion depends on persuasive content.

Steps to Introduce Ads

Here’s a practical beginner-friendly process:

1. Prepare Your Website

Set up your WordPress blog and publish around 10 original, helpful articles. This builds credibility and increases your chances of ad network approval.

2. Apply to Google AdSense

Register for AdSense and submit your site for review. Requirements include:

  • Using a custom domain
  • Original, valuable content
  • No prohibited material (e.g., copied, adult, or violent content)

Once approved, you’ll receive ad code.

3. Place Ad Code

You can insert ad code in WordPress by:

  • Adding to widgets (sidebar, footer)
  • Embedding in posts
  • Using plugins like Ad Inserter for automated placements

Strategic spots like article introductions or conclusions work best.

4. Join ASP Networks

Sign up with networks like A8.net or Moshimo Affiliate. Choose products related to your niche and embed affiliate links in relevant posts such as reviews or tutorials.

Tips for Monetization

Success in ad revenue requires more than just inserting ads:

  • Optimize placement to catch readers’ attention
  • Improve content quality to rank higher on Google
  • Align ads with content to increase relevance and clicks

At first, income may be minimal, but consistent content growth and better SEO will gradually increase revenue.

Conclusion

The path for beginners is clear:

  1. Build and publish useful articles
  2. Register with AdSense and ASPs
  3. Insert and optimize ad placements
  4. Improve site traffic and user engagement

While immediate big earnings are rare, persistence and optimization steadily lead to results. Starting small and growing consistently is the key to success.
