How to add Amazon and Adsense accounts to your blog!

There are some really great ways to monetize your blog.


A few of them are  by adding Amazon and Adsense accounts.  Amazon is...well, Amazon.  The Amazon Associates program allows readers to buy a book you may be reviewing, or promoting.

An Adsense account allows Google to place advertisements on your blog based on the content of your posts.  There are a few ways to set it up, including pay-per-click, or pay per purchase.



How to add the Amazon Associates account:


First, go to the Amazon home page and scroll to the bottom.  Under the section titled, "Make Money With Us", there is a 'Join Associates' button.  Click that and it will take you to the Amazon Associates home page. 

Next, on the right hand side of that page you will see an area to log in.  You should see a button under that saying, "join now for FREE'.  Signing up is very simple.  Amazon will have you fill out a minimal amount of information.  After that they will take 1 to 3 business days to go over the information you provided about what kind of website you have and how you run it in order to approve you.

Then, you will select a payment method and boom!  You're signed up

Now, for the Adsense account.


If you have a blog on Blogger, it is very, very easy.

All you have to do is go to your Blogger homepage, and find the button that says 'Monetize' at the top.  Next, you will click "create Adsense Account".  Then you will again fill out some basic information to sign yourself up.  Google is very generous with their choices and variey of ways to input ads in your blog.  You can put them all different places depending on the look you want.

In order to do that you should go to your dashboard on Blogger and click the 'design' button.  From there you will click "add a gadget'.  once you find the Adsense gadget you go through the steps to place the advertisements.  Once you save your new changes, voila!  You're done, and you can start making money!

It's really simple and a great way to make money if you do it right.
