How can I Earn Royalties by Posting Great Tips?

You can earn royalties by setting up a free Google Adsense account, and collecting royalties from the ads that display in your Tips. Google Adsense allows FamilyZip.Org to remain unbiased and provide objective information, because Google Ads are served based on matching the context of keywords in tips with ads that are managed by Google.

If you already have a Google Adsense account, you can use your Publication ID from that account, otherwise you can sign up for a free Google Adsense account. It is really very easy!

Higher quality and frequency of tips, creates more traffic and greater royalties. FamilyZip is all about community and building great content is its primary mission.

The way ad sharing works is that your Google Adsense ads are displayed 60% of the time and FamilyZip's ads are displayed the remaining 40% of the time (to fund development and operations). So on average, you will earn 60% of the revenue from your tips.

How much can I earn?

The amount you can earn depends on the quality, frequency, and popularity of your tips. Your Google Ads are displayed 60% of the time (the remaining are FamilyZip's Google Ads, for funding site operations). Ads typically generate between 10 and 50 cents each time a user clicks on one (depending on the the type of ad Google is serving).

You can build a recurring royalty stream by posting lots of high-quality tips. You can get your own subdomain on FamilyZip for free. It's like having your own little website for publishing on the web. Click on the MyPage Profile subtab under the Profile tab.

Google Adsense pays you every time you generate $100 in your Adsense account. Your royalties from posting on FamilyZip will probably start slowly, but grow over time. If you promote your MyPage to a lot of friends and family, your royalties should grow faster.

How Do I Set Up My Google Adsense Account?

If you already have a Google Adsense account, it takes just a minute to put in your Publication ID. On the top of the page where you enter your Publication ID, there is a link that shows you exactly where to get it from your Google Adsense account.

It's really very easy to get an Adsense account, so don't be daunted by it. If you do not have an account already, then it’s best to make sure you: (1) post some tips and (2) setup your MyPage, because when you apply for a Google Adsense account, Google will review your page to make sure you have some good content.

Your royalties will start out very moderately and then grow over time based on the quality and volume of your posts. Rome wasn’t built in a day! The good thing is that you'll keep getting royalties from your posts on an ongoing basis.

Google pays you once you have earned at least $100 in revenue. In the early stages this might take some time, however as your FamilyZip network grows, so will your traffic and royalties.


Already have a blog or place where you post ideas? No problem, in your FamilyZip post, you can add a link to a page on your existing blog to help drive traffic to it!
