At WriteLit.com, you get to earn from Google Adsense for every post you make (Right now, this is in the BETA stage, meaning we are testing it for at least two months, starting this July of 2006, and if everything works fine, we'll continue with the program. However, during the BETA stage, you can already earn. Update (October 4, 2006): the BETA stage has been over for at least a month, and everything seems to be working fine. So I now officially declare this page our Submission Guidelines page). Here’s how it works:

1. You create an account with WriteLit.com.

2. You create a publisher's account with Google Adsense if you don’t have one. You will be asked for the name of your site. You should, by order of priority:

a. Enter the name of your site -- http://www.mysite.com, for example -- if you already have one.

OR

b. Create a blog at http://www.blogger.com. You will then have a blog name in the form of http://yourblogname.blogspot.com. You should then enter this blog name when applying for a Google Adsense account.

Important: In applying for a Google Adsense publishing account, we discourage you to use your blog name here at WriteLit.com (e.g. http://www.writelit.com/blog/yourusername) or the site http://www.WriteLit.com, itself, to avoid complicating things (this has to do with click fraud which will be explained below.)

3. You enter your Google Adsense publisher ID (pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) into the designated box in the "revenue sharing" tab of your "my account" page on WriteLit.com.

4. You login and post entries of any content type (blog, literature, forum topics, events, etc.) at WriteLit.com. Make sure that it is an original entry and/or you’re not violating anyone’s copyright.

5. WriteLit.com serves Google ads with every post you make. One time the ad is yours, the next time, it's WriteLit.com’s (in other words, 50-50 sharing).

6. WriteLit.com visitors click the ads. You make money. We make money. (Important: Do not click OR tell others to click on the Google ads served ON YOUR OWN POSTS. This is called click fraud, and you risk losing your Google Adsense account since Google Adsense is very strict about these things. It is okay, however, to click on non-Google ads).

7. Google sends you a check. Google sends WriteLit.com a check.

How much can you earn?

Google Adsense pays you anywhere from $0.02 to $1.00 depending on the type of ads served on your posts. The more frequent, and the higher the quality of your post, the more likely users are going to click on your Google Adsense ads. (To ensure the quality of the posts, I’ve enabled user voting for all posts. Don’t be discouraged by low votes. Just take it as a form of encouragement to do better.)

Also, the higher traffic we get, the more clicks we get, so I encourage you to invite as many friends as possible to our community.
