We run Google AdWords on FreeCopywriting.com. Whenever someone clicks on an ad, Google pays a commission. All copywriters who register with FreeCopywriting.com and submit copy can share in that commission. In other words, you earn money from the ads that appear along with your copy.
Here’s how it works:
- You write some copy and submit it to FreeCopywriting.com
- Google automatically displays ads whenever someone reads that copy
- Google pays a commission whenever someone clicks on one those ads
- Half the time, that commission goes to us. The other half of the time, it goes to you (assuming you’ve told us your Google AdSense ID)
From there, it’s just a numbers game: the more you write, and the better the quality, the more traffic your copy attracts, and the more clicks your ads get. Which means more ad revenue for you.

Q: Do I need a website to get an AdSense ID?
A:
Technically, yes, you do need a website. However, that's not a problem because it can be a blog, and blogs are very easy - and free - to set up. Just go to
www.blogger.com and create a blog with any name and a domain of your choice. Then use the URL of that blog in your application for an AdSense ID. Once you have your AdSense ID, you can use it on any domain you like.

Q: What is Google AdSense?
A:
AdSense is a rewards program run by Google. It works like this. We’ve set FreeCopywriting.com up to automatically display Google ads. So if you write some copy for a hypothetical cake shop, and submit it to FreeCopywriting.com, Google will display cake-related ads whenever someone reads that copy. And when they click on one the ads, Google pays a commission. Half the time, that commission goes to us. The other half of the time, it goes to you.

Q: What is a Google AdSense ID?
A:
An AdSense ID is a unique code that Google gives you when you sign up to the AdSense program. Whenever you place ads on a website, you associate those ads with your AdSense ID, so Google knows who to pay when people click on the ads.

Q: How much will I earn through Google AdSense on FreeCopywriting.com?
A:
The amount you’re paid for each click varies (based on a whole lot of very complicated factors – i.e. they’re too confusing for me to understand!). Chances are, it’ll normally be less than $1. We’re not actually allowed to disclose how much we earn per click (that’s in Google’s Terms & Conditions). But we can say that the ads on FreeCopywriting.com perform far better than the ads on ArticlePR.com (another site in our network), and they deliver almost twice the revenue per click.

Q: How can I increase my revenue from Google AdWords on FreeCopywriting.com?
A:
Write and submit lots of quality copy. Stuff that real businesses can actually use – and will want to use. That’s the key. Put yourself in their shoes. Also, if you write about something mainstream and competitive (e.g. cars, travel, hospitality, IT, etc.), you’ll probably earn more from AdSense than if you write about something really obscure (e.g. floral tea sets or old-fashioned typewriters!). In competitive industries, advertisers (the people who are paying Google for the ads that appear on FreeCopywriting.com) pay quite a bit each time someone clicks on their ads. It can be hundreds of times what your local second-hand crockery dealer is paying. And that’s what you’re getting a slice of. So try to write for the businesses whose Cost-Per-Click is likely to be high.

Q: How do I know how many times people have clicked on the ads associated with my copy?
A:
The best way to keep tabs on things is to regularly log in to your Google AdSense account and run a report. (If you run other Google Ads elsewhere, you might want to set up a ‘Channel’ to monitor the performance of your ads on FreeCopywriting.com.) But as a courtesy, we’ll send you a weekly report detailing how many times the ads next to your copy have been clicked, and how many of those clicks have been attributed to your Google AdSense ID. (Remember, half the clicks are attributed to your AdSense ID, and half are attributed to ours.)

Q: Who pays me when someone clicks on a Google ad next to my copy?
A:
Google pays you directly, just as they pay us. To them, you’re just another webmaster, just like us.
Back to Top
Q: When will I get paid when someone clicks on a Google ad next to my copy?
A:
Google pays you directly. They say, “We'll send your check or EFT payment within approximately 30 days of the end of the month in which your account balance reaches US$100.”
Read Google's discussion of payment.

Q: Can I click on the ads next to my copy to earn more revenue?
A:
No absolutely not! That’s called ‘Click Fraud’. If you do that, you’ll get in big trouble from Google and maybe the law. Be sure to read Google’s Terms & Conditions carefully when you sign up to the AdSense program.
