How To Earn Online Without Investing Any Money?
The most popular earning source in this category is known as ADSENSE earnings.
What exactly is meant by Adsense earnings?
Well, the google ads which you see on almost every website are known as adsense, the advertisers pay money to google to advertise their website/product/services and google pays the publishers (owner of the websites on which the ads are put) in terms of CPC, i.e. Cost Per Click basis.
Can anyone apply for Adsense?
Well yes, but its quite a difficult task, why? Its answered Below
- You Need to have a quality website with over a million views per month (in short your website/blog should be very very popular)
- If you click on the ads on your website yourself, your account will be BANNED and you will no longer be able to create an adsense a/c again in future.
- You cannot ask the users on your website to click on the ads, your a/c will be banned!
- The minimum payout is around $50-$100 , and you get paid via check, which will be sent via normal post, and we all know how well the postal service is in India.
- Even if you manage to get the payout check in your hands, it will take around another month for it to credit the cash in your bank as international checks take a lot of time to get cleared.
So, if not adsense then what should you go for?
Well there are a number of adsense type website, but since I want to keep it short and simple, I will be discussing only one of them , which has paid me recently.
