Q: I was so pleased to find your youtube information. Hopefully you can help me. I recently applied for Google adsense and was not accepted. I would like help uniformly monetizing my platforms (youtube, blogger, etc). I am an actress from various Broadway shows. I’ve decided to start a new blog that focuses on giving advice to young actors as I constantly get questions about how I’ve done it. I had hoped that ads for broadway shows or hair and makeup would be familiar with my blog and a great fit for what I’m looking to do. My current blog is about my life but I plan to taylor it to a more helpful/advice column style. I was not accepted into the program. Based on my current blog do you have advice to give to me.
A: I don’t want to share the URL and embarrass the person asking the question, but the first problem is that it’s on Blogger.
I know there are Blogger sites that have Google AdSense, but many affiliate programs won’t consider you.
By using Blogger, you’re sending an unintentional signal to affiliate managers that you’re not taking your affiliate efforts too seriously.
You can get a domain name for less than $10 a year, so I would encourage you to go out and get a domain name and hosting for your blog.
Just the simple act of getting your own domain name and hosting will make a big difference when affiliate managers are reviewing your site.
