By John

preparing for adsense application is not a difficult task to perform since all it involves is to have a website or blog but it is good to know what is actually involved when it comes to making money with google adsense.some of us just believe that after applying for adsense account and got approved, money will start flowing in over night without much effort towards achieving that.well, i am not going to break your heart with this post but to let you know some of the difficulties or challenges involved for you to successfully become an adsense publisher as a blogger or webmaster in Nigeria.

as we may all know, adsense is just one among the thousand genuine and legal means through which bloggers, webmasters, website owners can use to monetize their website and make cool cash by placing ads and when visitors clicks on those ads, you get paid some percentage of the share google has to offer depending on the amount of genuine clicks you get before the end of the month.like every other businesses, their must be preparation in making things easy for you and adsense is not an exception.these are some of the difficulties beginners to adsense may experience.

difficulties beginners face as an adsense publisher

==> applying for google adsense

when it comes to adsense application, there is two things that is involved, it's either you get approved or rejected.it is very easy to get approved adsense account and also at the same time very difficult to pass their review test which may result to rejection of your application.

some people may be blogging for up to 5 years but never got approved adsense account but you may be supprised that a new dude with less than 2 weeks old blog or website got approved immediately without stress, why, the answers is best known to google team.

adsense team can be funny at times by giving approval to some two weeks old blog but you that has been blogging for up to 5 years keeps getting rejection but at the peak of giving up, that is when they may consider your application and make you a publisher into their program.you just have to make corrections on what they tell you to correct.so you just have to keep trying

==> earning your first $100 may be frustrating

after getting approved in to adsense program, here comes another difficulty in earning your first $100 bucks as pay cheque.many beginners to adsense thinks that the program is a get rich quick scheme.the truth of the matter is that it is frustrating at times to earn your first pay cheques.

it may take one up to 2 years or more to earn $100 or 70 euros which is their minimum payout and at the same time it may even take one up to a week to earn $100 which is very possible.in other for you to earn cool cash from adsense program, you will need quality targeted traffic and clicks from visitors.

you may have high traffic but still don't earn up to $1, why, the simple truth is that you need clicks from those huge visitors.

==> verification of address

after getting up to 7 euros or $10 in your adsense account, google will send a pin to your home address used to register in order for them to verify your location to enable them send your cheques to that address.

address verification is one of the major challenges beginners are facing when it comes to adsense.you only have 3 chances for them to deliver your pin to your address and after that, you will be asked to use either your national id, drivers license, international passport etc to verify your address.

you and i know how nigerian post office (NIPOST) operates.it may take years for you to get your pin due to the inefficiency of NIPOST but if your address is accurate using the correct postal code, you may get it within a month, so i will advice you to read one of my post on how to get the postal code in nigeria for each states.

==> getting your adsense cheques

well, this should not be that difficult because adsense has made it easy for Nigerian bloggers by giving two options to get your cheque delivered to your door step.

you will have two options to either choose express delivery or normal post office delivery.so in this case i will advice you to choose the express delivery option as your cheque will be sent and delivered directly to your door step by DHL.they charge 17 euros for this and it worth the amount because you may not get your cheque if you make use of the normal post office delivery

==> clearing your adsense cheque in nigeria, domiciliary account problem

this is the main part of the whole deal.clearing your adsense cheque in nigeria can be a pain in the butt at the first stage because one is required to have a domiciliary account (foreign currency account) before your cheque can be cleared.

normal savings and current account can not be used to clear adsense cheque in Nigeria and this is another major problem beginners are facing.before you can create a domiciliary account here in Nigeria, you will need to have in place either national id, drivers licence, international passport and two references ( individuals ) that owns a current account in any banks in nigeria preferable the bank you wish to use.in this case, you will start looking for friends or family members that operates a current account with any bank to sign the reference form.don't make the mistake of forging or faking the reference form because they will verify the authenticity of the owners account that signed it.

after getting your domiciliary account opened, you will have to deposit the cheque and wait for up to a month for it to be cleared by your bank before you can withdraw the fund in it and after it has been cleared, you will have to withdraw it and look for some one who can change it to naira for you.in this case, you have to look for aboki (bureau de change) to make the exchange.that's all.
