How to make $20,000 per month with Adsense

How to make $20,000 per month with Adsense

 That’s $20,000 per month. $240,000 per year. Here’s a guide that shows you how to do it step by step with Adsense and SEO.

Have you ever heard of people talking about big quantities like this with Adsense? If you’re a webmaster I’m sure you know what Adsense is and I’m sure you’ve heard you can make a few extra bucks with Adsense.

Have you seen those checks claiming a few extra hundreds or even more than a thousand dollars per month with Adsense alone?

Achieving those numbers isn’t that hard if you know how to rank a few micro niche sites to get a few thousand views per month and monetize them with Adsense. It’s the same principle and basics you’ve read everywhere and it works with anything, not only Adsense.

I have earned a lot more than that just with Adsense back in 2013-2014 with my viral sites strategy.

A few weeks ago I published an interview with my friend Zach who is making now 5 figures with Amazon Affiliate Sites. Just 2 months ago he was making around $8,000 per month and now he’s finally broken the $10,000 mark. Good for him. 

I know how it feels. I know how challenging it is to go from $1,000 per month to $10,000 per month and the key most people don’t know is how to scale their business to 5 or even 6 figures per month.

In that interview I mentioned a small mastermind I have on Facebook and we recently had new members coming in. Chris Lee is one of them, and the reason I mention this is because he’s going to be the star today.

Meet Chris Lee from RankXL

This isn’t an interview though. Chris has its own blog at RankXL.com and he documents his SEO efforts and income reports there. Chris worked at an SEO at a company and a few years ago he decided to go full time into this and leave his job to build his own business.

Last year he started blogging his efforts to build websites and he quickly captured the attention of many readers from different blogs and forums in the niche. In December 2014 he posted his first income report where he earned $4,118 just from Adsense and his ranked websites. His goal for 2015 was 5 figures (A.K.A. $10,000 per month or more) and he quickly achieved them in January after one of his sites improved its rankings the first weeks of the year.

Nowadays he’s earning more than $20,000 per month. All from Adsense alone. You can read his income reports here: RankXL Income Reports.

Anyway…

I’m telling you this because Chris comes from a company and he is prepared to deal with Google the right way. Instead of creating small niche sites that can potentially earn $500 per month, Chris focuses on building big authority sites so he earns $5,000-$10,000 extra per month with each one of them.

His methods are not about creating a small 5-10 page website with an EMD (exact match domain) and linking it until it ranks. He wants to be the authority in his niches and just so you can get an idea, in January-February he scheduled and posted around 160 new articles for his authority site just to keep it growing in different categories (resulting in a good increase of Adsense profits).

This is different to what I’ve seen in many forums and blogs about SEO. But we need to follow the trend because this is what works now. Haydn from NoHatDigital and Spencer haws from NichePursuits have mentioned it before.

Building an authority site that you can grow to 4-5 figures per month is a lot better than growing small niche sites that earn 3 figures per month each.

I have seen this work with my experiments and a very good reason is because Google still wants quality in their search engine results. And quality isn’t easily achieved within small sites unless they’re company sites or something similar.

Another great thing about having authority sites is that rankings are easy to achieve once the site has grown up some authority. Sometimes you don’t even need more backlinks to get first page rankings within several pages just because your website has grown an authority under the eyes of Google.

How many times have you seen something like that?

How many times have you found gigantic websites with very thin or simple content and NO BACKLINKS ranking in the top 3 results just because they’re so big that Google can’t ignore them?

Think about Amazon or IGN or any big news website. Most of them don’t focus on SEO (at least not as much as we do) and still get rankings quick.

Well, that is the power of Authority.

Another reason why this is very interesting is because Chris uses Adsense in all of his websites alone. No Amazon, no affiliate offers, no CPA offers, no private programs. He focuses on Adsense 100% and he’s killing it. Instead of focusing on monetization methods he just focuses on getting traffic and converting this traffic into clicks. This is very similar to what I used to do with viral websites.

Nowadays Adsense isn’t my style because I have learned a lot of monetization methods, but I’m sure Adsense fits 70% of my readers and web masters around the globe.

So.. do you want to know how can you:

Do proper keyword research
Build a website with a good design for Adsense
Get out of the sandbox
Get links and start getting traffic
Monetize with Adsense
Plan and scale up for the next 3-6 months
In conclusion, do you want to know how to get an Adsense deposit for this amount every single month?

If so, keep reading because I’ve got something special for you.

RankXL Adsense Niche Course

I’ve been blogging about SEO and anything related since 2012. It’s been 3 years and a half and so far I have never promoted an SEO course. Weird?

Maybe.

I could have my own course, but I feel like I prefer having my own sites and posting case studies and articles a few times per month instead of building my own course at this moment. There are tons of SEO courses though. In fact, there are more courses around SEO than probably almost any niche in the MMO (make money online) world, but I have never promoted one.

I have written articles about tools and services to help you with your site, but I never promoted an SEO course.

Why?

Because almost any SEO course around the web is horrible and provides little value. I’d say around 90% of every course you find around to make money online is pure shit with awesome titles to get your $19.99 and then disappear.

I’ve spent several thousands in different courses (not only SEO) and I know the pain that it is to buy something and see it’s just the same thing you could read in a forum or a blog. Most gurus don’t even do SEO by themselves and they have never ranked a website of their own. They have read about it somewhere else and then they just compiled everything they could into a PDF and sold it at the Warrior Forum for $19.99.

No wonder why most people think making money online is just a scam…

But of course there are great courses too. You just need to know where to find them and you don’t expect to pay $9.99 for a guide on how to make thousands per month, do you? It just doesn’t make sense.

I’d rather pay a few hundreds or even a thousand four a course that will really help me learn the basics of a business that I can sustain in the long run than paying $9.99 for a PDF that will be forever archived in my computer without any use.

Anyway, I’ll stop bashing many of the courses out there and start talking about RankXL.

RankXL is an Adsense Site course made by Chris Lee.

From all the SEO courses I’ve seen around, I think this is the first one I’ve ever promoted because it’s a great course that focuses in something white hat with a lot of potential to become your full time income.

The course isn’t cheap (originally priced at $197), but the content isn’t cheap either. And if you just went through that link you’ll see the price is $97 today for my readers.

Chris has written 5 modules to explain the whole process from keyword research and building your site with proper SEO, to monetizing with Adsense and scaling the site to make $10,000 per month or more. Everything is very detailed and has images and graphics inside the platform to help explain the concepts and guides.

He also includes a lot of bonuses which will help you improve your earnings and track your efforts.

You want to threat this like a full time job? Chris knows this and he’s added a few things to get you started.

So yeah… this is no “Push this magic button and within 3 steps you’ll make $10,000 per month on Autopilot while you laugh your way to the bank” course.

This course is more like: “Want to build an online business and make it full time? Here are 30 steps you need to work on every day for the next 3 months until you make it“.

And it works. It works for me and for many other SEOs too.

RankXL course modules explained

RankXL has been divided in 2 parts. The first part is all about niche and keyword research and all the things you need to know before buying your domain and start building your site.

This first part has 2 modules with 18 lessons (or units) overall. The first module will help you find your niche, analyze its traffic, competition analysis, setting up all your pillar keywords and posts prior to launching the site.

The second part is all about on-site SEO and your site structure to make it an authority site that can rank multiple keywords in the ling run without having to work each page individually. It goes over some basic stuff like the essential WordPress plugins and how to use SEO by Yoast to control all of your SEO settings.

Part 2 gets a bit more interesting in my opinion because it talks about off-site SEO and some very powerful link building methods that most people won’t do because they’re too lazy to try them. This isn’t a PBN course. RankXL will go over several link building tactics that aren’t considered black hat so that you build a long term business and focus on scaling it instead of avoiding Panda/Penguin updates.

Any great blog with authority will focus on this methods instead of black hat link building methods.

The last 2 modules from part 2 are all about monetization with Adsense and scaling your business to multiple figures per month. Everything from optimizing your Adsense ads and WordPress themes for better CTRs are covered here along with a timeline and what to expect.

This is important because as I’ve mentioned, this is not a simple “push this magic button” course and you definitely need to keep in mind your effort and time spent before seeing results.

But if you are willing to do so and you make an effort, you’ll make this work. I’m pretty sure about it.

Anyway, aside from this, Chris has added a few bonuses to the course so you can make the most out of it.

As you can see, this isn’t a simple PDF (although you can download the written content if you need it). Chris includes a few extras like a 3 month checklist on what to do, a small Q&A pack and even 3 WordPress themes developed by him to get the best results with Adsense.

This is a life-time membership, so you don’t need to pay every month and you’ll be able to see any updates in the future.

RankXL price

This Adsense niche course costs $197 and I think it’s a great value already. I could even pay around $500 for it, but I know I value my business education a lot higher than most people.

However, I talked to Chris a few days ago and he’s willing to lower it to $97  for a few days so many of you can buy it. That’s 50% off just because you’re reading about this course here at Stream SEO. GET YOUR 50% OFF HERE.

If you don’t believe me just make a few Google searches and you’ll see most people talking about this course are mentioning the price was $197 originally.

So, if you get RankXL through my link (of course it’s an affiliate link!) you’ll get 50% off at no cost on your side and I’ll make a small commission too. I’m being totally transparent because of course I’m making a commission of it, but in the last 3 years I’ve never promoted an SEO course because most of them didn’t fill my expectations anyway.

If you think this course isn’t for you, you can ask for a refund the first 30 days. But I’m almost sure that won’t happen unless you don’t have the time or commitment to make it work.
