First let’s consider the Zimbabwean situation today as I am
writing ;unemployment is very high ,there is liquidity crisis ,money is not
circulating to ordinary individuals ,you can hardly make online payments
because of limits and bans by the monetary authorities to reduce cash outflows
These should not hinder you to make money online in Zimbabwe
.You just need internet connection ,a computer / a smartphone and I suppose you
have one which you are using to read this article .For internet connection ,
you can use some public WIFI/hotspot if you don’t have a personal WIFI for now or if you don’t
have some money to buy bundles
Here is a guide to set up your internet business and make
money
STEP 1 :SETTING UP YOUR OWN BLOG
You need to create your own blog or website –you need a domain and hosting
which you can pay ,if you do not have money do not turn away because YOU CAN
GET ALL THESE FOR FREE LIKE WHAT I AM DOING NOW !
You can create your own free blog (s) today using GOOGLE’s own free tool known as BLOGGER .
Just create your Gmail account
,which is a free email from GOOGLE
Use that email to create your BLOGGER
account just go to blogger.com and create your own blogs
When creating each blog ,you need to give it a tittle which
should be relevant to what you want to write about (topic)
You need a domain which is the address for your blog ,you
can do this for free using BLOGGER ,use some keywords in your domain
Choose your own template ,you can change this with time to
experiment so you can achieve best results
By doing this you have created your first blog! Using BLOGGER (GOOGLE’S OWN TOOL ) you can create your blog
for free ,host it for free ,get your free domain ,also without knowledge of
coding and html and above all use your blog to make money
Here is what I like most about
BLOGGER :
1) You do not have to be worried in
paying large sums to the hosting companies
2)Your site is always up and running ,no need to be concerned about your site going down ,
you site may go down in some hosting companies ,they are not reliable
NOTE :only remember not to break
GOOGLE’s policies –no illegal content
,gambling and adult content
STEP 2:WRITING
CONTENT
You are now ready to fill you blog with content it needs,
you can now publish posts
Here is what you have to know now ,YOU
ARE NOW A PUBLISHER !
Do not just write because your posts because you are not
just doing this to waste effort but you need some visitors (traffic) to your
blog SO YOU CAN
MAKE MONEY
You have to plan on what you have to write ,YOU NEED KEYWORDS FOR YOUR CONTENT , these are words or
phrases that people use to search what
they want on the web
Do you know how you can get these ?
–GOOGLE has also another free tool you
can use to get your keywords for free –use GOOGLE KEYWORD TOOL .Do you research
there , choose keywords with low to medium completion ,you can rank for these keywords that those with high
completion
If you have found your
keywords , write your posts which should
be :informative ,personable –use the “you “ attitude to communicate with each
reader directly like what I am doing now !
You should aim at solving problems
–this is the work of publisher!
Write your posts which should
be above
450 words in length and providing solutions –like what I am doing right
now!
Each post should contain keyword
you are trying to target ,also the heading should contain your keyword you are
targeting ,the same as your first paragraph
Your body should include about 3%
keywords
Make some posts each and every day .Target at least one post per day
Make sure that each blog deal with
a certain niche , for example ‘HEALTH’
When you are making your posts remember to focus on solving visitors
problems ,put more text which is informative not too much flash in pictures and
videos
Write your content and keep your
site simple
STEP 3 :APPLYING FOR GOOGLE ADSENSE
It is now time to apply for GOOGLE ADSENSE ,GOOGLE ADSENSE
is a network of GOOGLE that allows publishers to display advertisements of advertisers on
their blogs or websites and publishers earn money for every click .GOOGLE
ADSENSE pays more than other publisher
networks –this is a fact , do not be misled by marketers on the web
Before you apply for GOOGLE ADSENSE check their terms and conditions and also
check their training informative video in the administration of your blog ,just
click the section ‘ EARNINGS’
Your blog need to mature for it to be accepted for GOOGLE
ADSENSE ,and I think the time it takes differ with county ,so continue checking
in the ‘EARNINGS’ section , if you can see the words ‘SIGN UP FOR
ADSENSE’ your blog has reached the time .Continue publishing helpful posts to
create good relationships with visitors
If you are sure that you have done the good work for now
,you can apply in your blog at the
section ‘EARNINGS’ and submit your application
NOTE : Avoid
plagiarism at any costs ,you won’t be accepted on ADSENSE
If you have done all things the good way GOOGLE will approve
your blog for ADSENSE –trust me , my bog
which I used to sign up was accepted when I had only 5 posts
If you get approved ads will start appearing automatically
–ONLY WHEN USING BLOGGER , but if you are using blogs hosted by others you
can create the code(s) in your GOOGLE
ADSENSE account ,copy them and paste where you want them to be
BASIC GUIDELINES
1)

to click on ads on your site –you get your account closed for that and that is
fair
2)

exchange programs –generate your own traffic safely
3)
Doing the fair thing makes you earn more –if
genuine visitors love your blog ,and find the ads relevant to them to solve
their problems and needs ,they click and find what they want , THEY BENEFIT ,THEY GET INFORMATION THEY WANT , YOU BENEFIT
BECAUSE YOU DIRETED THEM THERE ,GOOGLE ADSENSE BENEFIT BACAUSE YOU AND GOOGLE
ADSENSE SHARE REVENUE FROM ADVERTISERS ,ADVERTISERS BENEFIT BECAUSE THEY GET
THE TRAFFIC THEY NEED TO MAKE SALES OR LEADS SO THEY DEVELOP LONG TERM
RELATIONSHIP –AND WHAT’S NEXT –FOR CONTINUING LOYALTY ADVERTISERS WILL BE
WILLING TO PAY YOU MORE. So loyalty guarantee you success
