Blogging: Get Big on Adsense!

I’m not sure that that heading is the right words to describe this but I can’t think of any others that begin to
describe the way in which blogging has the ability to snowball. Perhaps it’s a ‘Tipping Point’ thing but as I look
at the last three years in terms of blog traffic, earnings, profile and opportunities I see that the first 18 months
were very very slow. Growth was definitely there from month to month but because the numbers were so small it
didn’t really feel like I was going anywhere.



The wonderful thing about exponential growth is that if you stick at it for the long term it’s a very powerful force.
I look over at the poll I’m running this month and see that 27% of bloggers who responded are making $10 or

less a month from Adsense and I know it sounds so little.



In reality it’s not that much but it’s more than I was making 2 years ago from blogging.



Here’s a calculation that I kept in my mind in the early days.



If that $10 a month increases by 20% every month in a year you’ll be earning $89.16 per month at the end of the
year. Of course that sounds small for a year’s work and I’m sure many bloggers would give up at that point but
lets take it further.



If earnings continued to rise by 20% per month for another 12 months and you begin to see the power of
exponential growth with a figure of $794.96 per month. Do it for another year and the figure is $7088.01 per
month.



Do those figures with the figure of 30% growth per month and the figure after 12 months is $232.98 per month,
after two years its $5428.00 and after three years it’s $126,462 per month! You get the picture. Now I don’t want to promise you 30% growth per month for three years straight but as I’ve written before, the power of
exponential growth in conjunction with hard work and luck is possible - it’s my story. I see each post I write as
an investment in the future and something that has the potential to earn money for me not just today but over the
long term.
