Getting Paid to Blog
How do I get paid to blog?
If you're going to blog anyway, why not get paid? SoulCast makes it easy to make money while you blog with the help of Google's AdSense service. Through AdSense, you are able to automatically place relevant ads on your blog. These ads generate revenue for you every time a user clicks on your ad. The money generated is paid into your AdSense account.
What is AdSense?
AdSense is Google's advertising service that allows you to place relevant ads on your blog. These ads generate revenue for you every time a user clicks on your ad.

I already have AdSense. How do I add AdSense to my SoulCast blog?
If you already have a Google AdSense account, adding the feature to your blog is easy.
- Click on My account
- Scroll to the bottom and copy the 16-digit account number. (For example: 1234123412341234)
- Copy and paste your ID number into SoulCast in the "your profile" section
How do I make money?
Once you have your Google AdSense ID number, all you need to do is go into your "My Profile" section of SoulCast, and enter your Google AdSense ID number into the correct field. After doing this, your SoulCast blog will automatically start generating ads! Ads that are relevant to the content of your posts will begin to appear.
The Google ads that are displayed on your content pages can be either cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-1000-impressions (CPM) ads. Every time a reader clicks on an ad with your AdSense ID, you'll make money! This means that advertisers pay either when users click on ads, or when the advertiser's ad is shown on your site. You'll receive a portion of the amount paid for either activity on your website.
For the first 60 days after you sign up with SoulCast, all of the ads on your page will be yours. After 60 days, the Adsense IDs of the ads will alternate. 50% of the ads generated will be your ads, and 50% will be SoulCast's.
Why is someone else's Google Adsense ID used on my page?
For the first 60 days after you sign up with SoulCast, all of the ads on your page will be yours. After 60 days, the Adsense IDs of the ads will alternate. 50% of the ads generated will be your ads, and 50% will be SoulCast's.
How much money can I make?
Depending on the type of ad, you can make anywhere from $0.02-$1.00 per click. There's no cost, no obligation, and getting started is quick and easy. You can even check your clicks and revenue generated on Google's reporting system.
How will I receive my money?
You will be paid directly by Google! Google will pay you through your bank account or with a check.
Can I click on my own ads?
Clicking on your own ad is considered an invalid click, and is in violation of AdSense rules. Invalid clicks are clicks generated through any prohibited methods. In addition, encouraging users to click on the ads or to visit the advertisers' sites as well as labeling the ads with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements" is also prohibited policy and may result in the revoking of your AdSense account.
I still have more questions about AdSense.
