Can the Ads be published on wordpress’ free blog as on google’s blog using Adsense?
Yes, you can place ads on wordpress blogs if you have an Adsense account.
I amnew to Wordpress so can you explain to me how to place Adsense ads on my blog?
It’s easy. Just use this free plugin: http://www.acmetech.com/blog/adsense-deluxe
If want to learn more about wordpress, visit my Wordpress blog at http://aldianprakoso.com
I should add that I’m not that technical, so a solution that is easy to use would be more appropriate of the two.
The website will work in a similar way to gumtree’s classified ads. If this is possible would I also be able to add a charging mechanism for the ads using Joomla or Wordpress.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
I would recommend to not to think of Joomla as for this to maintain you need to be high-tech. It would be very-inconvenient to you as it is bit complex.
Again I would not recommend to use WordPress ( though I am a great fan of it ) as its free version ( *.wordpress.com ) would not allow you to place your ads and you would not be able to earn. For hosting Ads you will have to go for self-hosted version of Wordpress which will bring a lot of trouble beside hosting free and domain registration fee.
For you best bet is "Blogger", so go to www.blogger.com where you will get everything you want with no limitation and no tension.
But if this project matters a lot to you and you wanna go far ahead with this, also willing to pay something initially, wanna have your brand name ( site name of your choice ) etc. then you should go with self hosted wordpress blog.
Any way Blogger is the best bet for you right now.
A lot of people are marketing online nowadays and there are tons of different options when choosing a platform for promoting your products or services.
A really effective strategy that I have found which has made me thousands and thousands of dollars is called WordPress Marketing.
If you are not familiar with wordpress it is a FREE blog service that allows you to create your own website (blog) for free! You can your own domain name (wordpress.com/nameofyourblog) and anybody with an internet connection can view your page by visiting that web address.
Now, you are online! You can promote products as an affiliate OR you can promote your own products or services from there too. Another popular thing people do when marketing online using a wordpress blog, is to write about something that is very popular at the moment (or always) and get traffic to your site that way. Then, you can place ads on your site for Google or Yahoo (also FREE) and YOU GET PAID anytime someone just clicks on one of the ads on your site!
This is a very popular way of making money online.
What else is wordpress Marketing good for?
Yet another awesome technique for making money with your blog is to build your opt-in list of email subscribers by giving away something of value for FREE right from your blog, in exchange for the email address of your reader. It may in form of e-Books, e-Courses, software or a short report. You would not believe that most people will exchange their email address with these free stuffs. If it is useful for them, they will be your loyalty customer in the future easily.
You can sign up for an auto-responder service for less than $20 a month and easily set up the email address capture form where the customer must enter their first name and email address in order to receive the free download (a short, informative report that you write on the same topic as your blog or promotion).
If you do not want to pay for monthly cost, you can try some free auto-responder services. But it would be a better idea to invest on the paid auto-responder service as it will provides a much more stability and durability.
Once you harvest their email addresses you can promote (legally!) products and/or services to them via email and then you can make some serious money!
If you want to make more money, just create your own product and promote them. If you do not want to create your own product, you may finding some affiliate products to promote. That is Wordpress marketing in a nutshell!
