Generate Google AdSense revenue with Docstoc

My dear, sweet old (old, old... :wink: ) Mom sent me an email this morning with a link to the Hick Chick Meal Planner and a brief but certain commentary: "You need this!" I immediately downloaded the Meal Planner, but what struck me was Docstoc itself.

My initial impression of Docstoc is that it's not only a great source of free and affordable documents "for small businesses and professionals", but had good potential as a nice source of revenue. Apparently there are more ways to earn, but what interested me is the potential to earn from both creating and selling documents, and the AdSense revenue generated by offering them both for sale and for free. According to DocStoc, "Sign up for DocCash and we'll split (50/50) the revenue we generate by displaying advertisements alongside your documents."

Be sure to check out the Why Upload Documents section of the website for more information. There you will find many helpful links, including how to Generate Extra Cash From the Documents You Upload to Docstoc (via Google AdSense), and the FAQs on Selling Documents on Docstoc.

I am not being compensated in any way for this post. I just want you to explore it as a possible source of active and passive income for you and your family. I'm saintly like that.

P.S. If you want to create .pdf files from your Word docs like the Hick Chicks did, a great free tool is CutePDF. Good luck!

  6. Hi Jen & thanks for the visit. :) I gave up on AdSense a long time ago because I realized that I was going to focus on learning to write instead of doing what I would need to do to make my blog profitable. (Niche, focused content, etc.) But lots of my friends like it, so hey - more power to them! LOL @ your like of doing things passively.

    I like the idea of creating documents for others to download. I may get back to that sometime.

  7. I am big on active sleeping, or at least actively searching for a good place to take a nap.
