How Do I Make $100 a Day on AdSense?

Step 1: Pick a Niche That Pays

First things first—pick a niche with high-paying ads. To make money, you want to find topics that attract readers. It’s as simple as that. Highly searched topics help drive traffic to your website. More on that below.

Topics like finance, tech, or insurance tend to get higher payouts. Skip low-earning topics like general lifestyle or hobbies unless you’ve got a ton of leverage or influence in that space.

Just pick one to start.

Step 2: Build a Website

You need a platform to display those ads. Choose WordPress for its simplicity and flexibility. Get a good domain name and hosting—don’t cheap out here, it matters. Your site needs to look legit for Google to approve you for AdSense. Bluehost is a good place to grab both. In fact, I still use Bluehost to this day.

Step 3: Write Content That Solves Problems

Content is king. Write blog posts that are helpful and solve specific problems in your niche. Focus on SEO to drive organic traffic—without traffic, you won’t make a cent.

Pro Tip: Problems are your friends. The key is to stay in the mindset of solving problems fro your readers.

Once your website has at least 10-15 high-quality blog posts, apply for AdSense. What do you mean by high quality? Basically, make sure your site complies with Google’s guidelines—no adult content, no clickbait. If your site looks spammy, you’ll get rejected.

Step 5: Optimize Ad Placement

Once approved, place ads strategically on your site. Above the fold (before users have to scroll) is prime real estate. You can also use sidebars, within posts, and at the end of articles. But don’t overdo it—too many ads can drive people away.

What’s a sidebar?

In layman’s terms, a sidebar is the section on a website that sits on the side of the main content, usually either on the right or left. Think of it like a sidebar in a book or magazine where extra info or notes are placed alongside the main article.

The sidebar can also earn you more money if you play your cards right.

Step 6: Drive Traffic

You need a solid flow of traffic to hit that $100/day mark. Organic traffic from search engines is the best, but it takes time. If you’re writing about popular stories in a high-paying niche, making $100 a day is much simpler. In the meantime, promote your site on social media, forums, and through guest blogging.

Pro Tip: Start at the ocean — -This is where you have the most followers. Some people have the most followers on Facebook, and others will have it on sites like Twitter or LinkedIn. Just start at the ocean.

Step 7: Scale Your Content

Consistently publish more blog posts to drive more traffic. Aim for topics with high search volume but low competition. Each new post is another opportunity to attract visitors and earn more ad revenue.

Step 8: Track and Adjust

Keep an eye on which pages earn the most and which ads perform best. Use Google Analytics and AdSense reports to figure out what works and double down on it. Tweak your ad placement and content based on performance data.

Conclusion

Making $100 a day with AdSense takes time and effort, but if you pick the right niche, build a quality site, and drive traffic, it’s definitely achievable. Stick to the plan, keep optimizing and think ahead. I truly believe in the power of solving problems. Once you understand that, planning a content strategy, posting schedule and promotional efforts will all make sense.
