And if that number doesn't wake you up and have you sitting on the edge of your seat, consider for a moment that he reached this level in less than a year. His company only started using AdSense in September 2004.
Calacanis runs Weblogs Inc., a network dedicated to creating trade Weblogs across niche industries. And he's quickly proven that AdSense is a credible advertising partner.
As their network has grown, so has their AdSense revenue. In January 2005 they earned an average of $580 per day. In March it was $737. In May it was $1,585. One day in July, just before he made the blog entry referred to above, they earned $2,335. Remember that is just for one day. If they can take that daily average to $2,740 they'll be earning a rate of $1 million for a year. And Calacanis predicts that reaching daily earnings of $3,000 or even $5,000 is quite achievable.
That's quite an achievement. Keep in mind that Calacanis has 103 bloggers on the payroll and nine staffers. Even so, many webmasters would give an arm or a leg to have even a third of that.
Google's AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, Adsense's premier position seems secure for now.
In essence, AdSense has made it possible for almost anyone with a web site or blog to earn some revenue from advertising, without having to employ sales people or spend precious time searching for advertisers.
AdSense works like this. Webmasters sign up for an account in just a few minutes. They receive a small snippet of code to include on their web pages. Google will then automatically serve advertisements that are relevant to the content on the webmaster's pages. When someone visits the webmaster's site and clicks on one of Google's AdSense advertisements, the webmaster earns a fee. Google's AdSense has been revolutionary. It has become firmly established as the darling of the online advertising industry. Although rumors are heard of major competitors launching a similar service, Adsense's premier position seems secure for now. Advertisers can pay anywhere from five cents to a hundred dollars per click, and the webmaster receives a percentage of that fee.
Many webmasters are content with earning five to ten dollars from AdSense to cover the cost of web hosting. But many, unsurprising, have higher ambitions. At a popular Webmaster World forum, participants share tips and encouragement on reaching a goal of $300 per day from AdSense. So it is no wonder that Calacanis created quite a buzz when he made his million dollar blog entry.
Google have proven once again that they excel at designing innovative Internet services. If you are in the web industry and have not yet used AdSense, then perhaps you should try it out. Or if you are already using it, perhaps Calacanis? impressive results will encourage you to track the performance of your AdSense units more closely, fine tune their positions and formats, and take your earnings to a new level.
Well here's why:
As common as this problem may seem, it's not that hard to deal with at all. You see, I was once in your shoes, and had to grow my information publishing Internet business to the income level—from $100,000... to $200,000... $500,000 and eventually over ONE MILLION dollars in annual revenues today.
My mentoring clients have often asked me how to take the next step to grow their business exponentially. And what I'm about to reveal, are my private secrets to growing your business at record speed...
Basically there many, but I will unearth THREE basic secrets you can implement today.
And the FIRST one, is giving FREE INFORMATION.
Now many people get this part wrong. Because too often, they just create an average or promotional free information product that carries no value and send them to their loyal prospects or customers!
Just imagine for a moment—you are a prospect looking to solve a problem you have, but you're bombarded with tens, if not hundreds of promotional pitches a day through emails.
What will be the last thing that you want? You see, people are ALWAYS busy. But here's a little secret to go with this: If you deliver VALUE to them in all your efforts, a memory, a STORY to them, they'll give you as much time as you want.
So what should you do? My general rule of thumb is "give as much stuff away free as you can until your customers are sick of it." The reaction you want from your prospect is, "Shit, if the free stuff is THIS GOOD, the paid stuff must be awesome."
SECOND, you'll have to understand PRODUCT ASCENSION.
It's simple—the more products you have, the more profits you'll make. Here's the key though: They have to increase in VALUE, or created in a new CATEGORY.
This can take a whole book to teach, but some simple tips here:
Imagine all the possible products out there, delivered in their different mediums. Whether it's a newsletter, membership site, physical product, a seminar, a continuity program... you can figure out ways to create more products based on your expertise—even though they're of the same topic, with a different TWIST of interesting, shocking, entertaining or "wow"ing factors.
THIRD, your own PROFIT SYSTEM.
You've heard of this before, but I'll stick this in your head forever. Listen up—if you want to reach the million dollar annual revenue mark with your information product, you need to create more products (product ascension), and build each other into your BACKEND marketing strategy!
Again, create more products and build them into your BACKEND. Done right, this can double, triple or multiply your wealth to heights you never expected!
Think it's hard? Well, here's one additional secret I'll share with you. Before you think, START. "Ready, Fire, Aim"—you don't have to aim for perfection. Besides, failing persistently would get you so much further than heading for perfection every time—you'd be stunned with your results one year looking back from now.
