I Built a Simple Website with AI to Make Money with AdSense — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00This looks like one of the most boring
2. 0:01website ideas on the internet. A QR code
3. 0:04generator. No products, no brand, no
4. 0:07complicated software, just a simple free
5. 0:09tool. But look at this. This website
6. 0:12gets around 7.2 million visits per
7. 0:15month. And look at the pages per visit.
8. 0:17Around 3 pages per visitor. So people
9. 0:19aren't opening one page and leaving.
10. 0:21They're using the tool, moving around
11. 0:23the site, and creating more page views.
12. 0:25Why does that matter? Because when a
13. 0:27website like this runs ads, more traffic
14. 0:29and more page views can mean more ad
15. 0:31impressions. Google even has an AdSense
16. 0:33calculator that estimates revenue based
17. 0:35on monthly page views, region, and
18. 0:37content category. So, let's enter a
19. 0:39number close to this traffic. Look at
20. 0:40the result. Now, this is only an
21. 0:42estimate. The real number depends on
22. 0:44where the visitors come from, the niche,
23. 0:46the ad rates, the season, and a lot
24. 0:48more. But even as a rough guess, the
25. 0:50opportunity is clear. And remember, this
26. 0:52isn't a complex app with a full team
27. 0:54behind it. It's just a useful free tool
28. 0:57that people search for every single day.
29. 1:00Here's another example, an invoice
30. 1:02generator. Another simple free tool.
31. 1:05Around 2.1 million visits per month. And
32. 1:08the pages per visit is even higher. So
33. 1:11now you see the pattern. These sites
34. 1:12aren't flashy. They're not complicated.
35. 1:15They just solve simple problems people
36. 1:17are already searching for. a QR code
37. 1:19generator, an invoice maker, a Wi-Fi QR
38. 1:23tool, a word counter. Most people ignore
39. 1:25these ideas because they look too
40. 1:27simple. But simple doesn't mean
41. 1:29worthless. Sometimes the most boring
42. 1:32websites are the ones quietly making
43. 1:34money in the background. And this is the
44. 1:36model. You build a useful free tool.
45. 1:38People search for it on Google. They
46. 1:40land on your site and use it. And once
47. 1:42the website is ready for Google AdSense,
48. 1:44it can start earning from ads as the
49. 1:46traffic grows. Now, I'm not saying
50. 1:48you'll build a tool today and make
51. 1:50thousands tomorrow. That's not how this
52. 1:52works. You still need a useful website,
53. 1:54real traffic, and approval from Google
54. 1:56AdSense. But the model is real, and
55. 1:59today, building the first version is
56. 2:01easier than ever. So, in this video,
57. 2:04I'll build a free QR code generator from
58. 2:06scratch using Hostinger Horizons. I'll
59. 2:09publish it online, connect a custom
60. 2:11domain, prepare it for Google AdSense,
61. 2:13and submit it to Google Search Console
62. 2:15so Google can start finding it. The QR
63. 2:18code generator is just our example. The
64. 2:20real idea is that you can use the same
65. 2:22process to build all kinds of free tool
66. 2:24websites around different search
67. 2:26keywords, and I'll give you the full
68. 2:28guide with every prompt so you can
69. 2:30follow along and build your own. Let's
70. 2:32start. The tool I'm using is Hostinger
71. 2:34Horizons. Horizons lets you build
72. 2:36websites and web apps just by chatting
73. 2:38with AI. You describe what you want and
74. 2:41it builds it. And for this kind of
75. 2:42project, that's perfect because we don't
76. 2:45just need a design. We need the tool,
77. 2:47the pages, the editing, the publishing,
78. 2:49and the domain setup all in one place.
79. 2:52So instead of jumping between different
80. 2:54tools and code files, we can focus on
81. 2:56the idea and build the first version
82. 2:58much faster. To follow along, open the
83. 3:01free guide in the description. In step
84. 3:03one, click open Hostinger Horizons. If
85. 3:05you want the same setup I'm using, my
86. 3:07link is in the description, too. Here,
87. 3:09I'll click view plans.
88. 3:11Now, you can see the plans available.
89. 3:13For this tutorial, I'm going with the
90. 3:15starter plan. And the reason is simple.
91. 3:18It gives us enough AI credits to build
92. 3:20and test the project. It lets us create
93. 3:22up to 25 websites, and it includes
94. 3:24hosting and a free domain for the first
95. 3:26year. So, for a project like this, it's
96. 3:29a solid starting point. If you need more
97. 3:31resources later, you can always move up
98. 3:33to a higher plan. So, I'll click select
99. 3:35plan. Now, Hostinger asks for the
100. 3:38billing period. I'll keep it on 12
101. 3:40months. And this part matters. 1 month
102. 3:43can look cheaper at first, but you lose
103. 3:45a lot of the value, especially the free
104. 3:47domain. And we're not building something
105. 3:48random for a single day. We're building
106. 3:50a real website we want to publish,
107. 3:52improve, and monetize later. Now, to
108. 3:55bring the price down even more, I'll
109. 3:57click have a coupon code. Then I'll
110. 3:59enter profit studio and click apply. The
111. 4:03coupon is applied and the price drops.
112. 4:05After that, I'll click continue. Now
113. 4:08Hostinger asks me to create an account.
114. 4:10I'll continue with Google. It's faster.
115. 4:13Then you'll reach the payment page. Pick
116. 4:14whatever method works best for you.
117. 4:16There are options like card, PayPal,
118. 4:18Google Pay, and Apple Pay depending on
119. 4:20your country. So, choose the one you
120. 4:22prefer and complete the order. After
121. 4:24payment, Hostinger may ask how you want
122. 4:26to build your website. here. Make sure
123. 4:28you choose Vibe Code with Horizons. This
124. 4:31is the option we need because we're
125. 4:33building the website by chatting with
126. 4:35AI. Then click next. And now we're
127. 4:38inside Hostinger or Horizons. This is
128. 4:40where the real building begins.
129. 4:44Now we can describe the website we want
130. 4:46to build. But before I write the prompt,
131. 4:48I want to show you something inside the
132. 4:50free guide because maybe you're not sure
133. 4:52what kind of tool to build or maybe you
134. 4:54don't know how to write the prompt for
135. 4:55it. So, open the guide and go to step
136. 4:57two. You'll find a tool picker. Here, I
137. 5:00added different free tool ideas that
138. 5:01people already search for. A QR code
139. 5:04generator, an invoice generator, a
140. 5:06percentage calculator, a business name
141. 5:09generator, a word counter, and more.
142. 5:12When you choose a tool, the guide gives
143. 5:13you a ready-made prompt to copy straight
144. 5:15into Horizons, so you don't have to
145. 5:17start from zero. For example, if I pick
146. 5:19word counter tool, the guide hands me a
147. 5:21prompt built for a word counter. I copy
148. 5:24it, paste it into Horizons, and start
149. 5:26building. So, if you don't have an idea
150. 5:28yet, just pick one tool from the list
151. 5:29and use its prompt as your starting
152. 5:31point. But for this video, I'm building
153. 5:33the QR code generator. So, I'll go back
154. 5:35to Horizons and write the prompt for it.
155. 5:37And the prompt doesn't need to be
156. 5:39technical. You just need to clearly
157. 5:40explain what the tool should do, what
158. 5:42pages you want, and what sections to
159. 5:44include. So, here's the prompt I'll use.
160. 5:46I'm asking Horizons to build a clean QR
161. 5:49code generator where users can enter a
162. 5:51URL or text generate the QR code
163. 5:54instantly, change the color, and
164. 5:56download it as a PNG. I'm also asking it
165. 5:58to make the website simple, fast,
166. 6:00professional, and usable on both desktop
167. 6:02and mobile. And I want it to add helpful
168. 6:05content, a FACU section, basic SEO
169. 6:07details, add placeholder areas, and
170. 6:10important footer pages like about,
171. 6:12contact, privacy policy, and terms of
172. 6:14use. Now, notice I'm not only asking for
173. 6:16the QR tool. I'm also asking for useful
174. 6:19content, a fact q, an SEO title and
175. 6:22description, add placeholder areas, and
176. 6:24the important pages. And there's a
177. 6:26reason for that. Later, when we prepare
178. 6:28the website for Google AdSense, the site
179. 6:30shouldn't look empty. It should look
180. 6:32like a real website, a working tool,
181. 6:34helpful content, and basic pages that
182. 6:36build trust. So, now I'll send the
183. 6:38prompt, and Horizon's starts building.
184. 6:41Honestly, this is one of my favorite
185. 6:42parts because if you've ever tried to
186. 6:44build something like this by hand, you
187. 6:46know how long it can take. Here, I just
188. 6:48explained the idea and Horizons creates
189. 6:50the website for me. So, I'll wait a few
190. 6:53minutes while it works. And here's the
191. 6:55first version. It already looks clean
192. 6:57and professional. The main QR tool is
193. 7:00right at the top. There's an input field
194. 7:02for a link or text, color options, a
195. 7:05live preview, and a button to download
196. 7:07the QR code as a PNG. If I scroll down,
197. 7:10Horizon's also added the extra sections
198. 7:12we asked for. Here's the how QR codes
199. 7:15work section and below it, the FAQ. It
200. 7:19also added the important pages in the
201. 7:20footer. About, contact, privacy policy,
202. 7:24and terms of use. Let's open one
203. 7:26quickly. Here's the about page. And the
204. 7:28privacy policy is there, too. Of course,
205. 7:31you'll want to review and adjust these
206. 7:32for your own website later, but as a
207. 7:34first version, this already gives us a
208. 7:36complete structure. Now, let's test if
209. 7:38the tool actually works. Back on the
210. 7:41homepage, I'll paste a URL. Let's use
211. 7:43the Profit Studio website. And the QR
212. 7:45code is generated instantly. Now, I'll
213. 7:48change the color. The preview updates
214. 7:49right away. And if I want, I can click
215. 7:52download PNG and save it. So, now we
216. 7:54don't just have a design, we have a
217. 7:56working tool. That's the first version
218. 7:58of our free tool website. And from here,
219. 8:00we improve it step by step. Now, we have
220. 8:02the first working version. But before we
221. 8:04publish, let's test it properly and fix
222. 8:06anything that doesn't look right. So in
223. 8:09the guide, go to step three, improve the
224. 8:11tool website. The first thing I want to
225. 8:13check is the mobile version. And this
226. 8:15matters because a lot of visitors won't
227. 8:17open a tool like this on a desktop.
228. 8:19They'll find it on Google, open it on
229. 8:21their phone, generate a QR code, and
230. 8:23leave. So the mobile experience has to
231. 8:25be clean and easy. Inside Horizons, I'll
232. 8:28switch to the mobile preview. and the
233. 8:30website works, but the mobile layout
234. 8:32isn't perfect yet. Some elements feel
235. 8:34too wide. The spacing could be tighter,
236. 8:36and the tool needs to sit more naturally
237. 8:38on a phone screen, and that's normal.
238. 8:41The first version from AI is a starting
239. 8:42point, not the finished product. So,
240. 8:45instead of touching the code, I'll just
241. 8:46ask Horizons to fix it. I'm asking
242. 8:48Horizons to improve the mobile version,
243. 8:51make the layout responsive on different
244. 8:52phone sizes, fix spacing issues, and
245. 8:54make sure the QR tool is easy to use on
246. 8:57a small screen. Now, Horizon's works on
247. 8:59the update. And here's the mobile
248. 9:01version again. This already looks much
249. 9:03better. The layout is cleaner. The tool
250. 9:05fits the screen. And everything is
251. 9:07easier to read and tap. Let me scroll
252. 9:09down. The QR preview looks good. And the
253. 9:12download button is clear. The feature
254. 9:14cards are fixed, too. Before they were
255. 9:16squeezed too narrow, and the text felt
256. 9:18cramped. Now, they stack one under
257. 9:20another so each card has room to
258. 9:22breathe. And this is a key point when
259. 9:24working with any AI builder. Don't
260. 9:26expect the first result to be perfect.
261. 9:28Build the first version, test it, find
262. 9:30one issue, then ask the AI to fix that
263. 9:33one thing. That's how you get a clean
264. 9:35result. Now, I'll switch back to the
265. 9:37desktop preview just to make sure
266. 9:38improving mobile didn't break anything.
267. 9:40And the desktop version still looks
268. 9:42clean. The layout's intact, and the tool
269. 9:44is right where it should be. Now, let's
270. 9:46test the tool one more time for real
271. 9:48this time. I'll paste the URL of the
272. 9:50guide page. The QR code updates
273. 9:52instantly. I'll change the color and it
274. 9:55updates with the new color. But I don't
275. 9:57want to just assume it works. So I'll
276. 9:59scan it with my phone and it opens the
277. 10:01guide page correctly. So this isn't just
278. 10:04a design. It's a real working QR code
279. 10:06generator. So at this point we've got a
280. 10:09working free tool website. Clean on
281. 10:11desktop, solid on mobile with a QR
282. 10:13generator that does exactly what it
283. 10:15should. Now it's time to take it out of
284. 10:17Horizons and turn it into a real website
285. 10:19online.
286. 10:22So, let's publish it. Inside Horizons,
287. 10:25I'll click publish. Then I'll click
288. 10:27publish changes. And now the website is
289. 10:30live on a temporary hosting or domain.
290. 10:33That's useful for testing. But for a
291. 10:35real project, I don't want to leave it
292. 10:36on a random temporary link. If we want
293. 10:38the site to look professional, easy to
294. 10:40remember, and trustworthy, we connect a
295. 10:42custom domain. So, I'll click connect
296. 10:45domain. Now, Hostinger asks which domain
297. 10:47I want to connect. And because I chose
298. 10:49the 12-month plan, I have a free domain
299. 10:52available. In my case, you'll see two
300. 10:54free domains here. One I already had
301. 10:56from before and one I got during this
302. 10:59tutorial. But if you follow the same
303. 11:0112-month setup, you'll see the free
304. 11:03domain option here, too. Now, if you're
305. 11:05not sure what name to pick, you can use
306. 11:07chat GPT for ideas. For example, I'll
307. 11:10ask it for short and brandable domain
308. 11:12name ideas for a free QR code generator
309. 11:15website, and it gives me a list. Of
310. 11:18course, not every name will be
311. 11:19available, so take a few, test them, and
312. 11:22pick the one that's short, clear, and
313. 11:24easy to remember. For this one, I'll go
314. 11:26with vivacr.com.
315. 11:29I like it because it's short, brandable,
316. 11:31and tied to the QR idea. And when I can,
317. 11:34I prefer a.com. It just looks clean and
318. 11:36familiar. So, back in Hostinger, I'll
319. 11:38enter the domain, and it's available
320. 11:41free for the first year. So, I'll select
321. 11:43it and click next. Now Hostinger starts
322. 11:46setting up the domain registration. Then
323. 11:48it asks me to confirm the domain owner
324. 11:50details. These are used for the
325. 11:51registration. So make sure your
326. 11:53information is correct. I'll confirm and
327. 11:55click register. Now Hostinger adds the
328. 11:57domain to the website. And there we go.
329. 12:00The domain is added. I'll click
330. 12:01continue. Now you might see a message
331. 12:04saying the domain is connected, but that
332. 12:06it may need some time to fully work. And
333. 12:08that's completely normal. In my case, it
334. 12:10took around 30 minutes, but Hostinger
335. 12:12says it can take up to 24 hours, so
336. 12:15don't panic if it's not instant. I'll
337. 12:17click got it. After a little wait, I'll
338. 12:20open the publish menu again. And now the
339. 12:23custom domain is connected. The site
340. 12:25isn't on a temporary preview link
341. 12:27anymore. It has its own name. So, I'll
342. 12:29open it. And here it is, the QR code
343. 12:32generator live on its own domain. It
344. 12:34loads correctly. The design is intact.
345. 12:37And the tool works exactly like before,
346. 12:39only now it's public. A real website
347. 12:42with a real domain, not a preview inside
348. 12:44an AI builder. But a live website is
349. 12:47only half the goal. The real point is to
350. 12:50make it earn. So next, let's get it
351. 12:52ready for Google AdSense.
352. 12:54So what exactly is AdSense? AdSense is
353. 12:57Google's platform for showing ads on a
354. 12:59website. When your site gets traffic,
355. 13:01it's one of the simplest ways to earn
356. 13:02from it. But the ads don't show up
357. 13:04instantly. First, Google has to review
358. 13:06the site and approve it. So, let's start
359. 13:08that process. Inside the guide, I'll go
360. 13:10to step five. Then, I'll click open
361. 13:12Google AdSense. And I like this line
362. 13:15right here. You create will help you
363. 13:17earn. That's basically the whole idea of
364. 13:19this video. We build something useful.
365. 13:21And once it's approved, AdSense helps us
366. 13:23monetize it with ads. So, I'll click
367. 13:25sign up. Here, AdSense asks for the
368. 13:28website URL. I'll enter the domain we
369. 13:30connected earlier, vivaqr.com.
370. 13:33Then for performance suggestions, I'll
371. 13:35keep yes selected. Now AdSense asks for
372. 13:38the payment country or territory. And
373. 13:40this part is important. Choose the
374. 13:41country where you actually live or where
375. 13:43your payment profile should be based,
376. 13:45not a random country because you think
377. 13:46it's better. Google uses this for
378. 13:48account verification and payments. So it
379. 13:50needs to be accurate. Then I'll scroll
380. 13:52down here. You need to read and accept
381. 13:54the terms and conditions. I'll check the
382. 13:56agreement box. Then I'll click start
383. 13:58using AdSense. And now we're inside the
384. 14:01AdSense dashboard. You'll see a few
385. 14:03setup steps.
386. 14:05The first one is payment information.
387. 14:07This is where you enter your personal or
388. 14:09business details, your name, your
389. 14:11address, and the information Google
390. 14:13needs for your account. I won't fill
391. 14:15this in on camera because it's private,
392. 14:17but when you do it for your own website,
393. 14:19make sure the information is real and
394. 14:21correct.
395. 14:22The next important step is connecting
396. 14:24the website to AdSense. So, I'll click
397. 14:26connect your site to AdSense.
398. 14:29Now, AdSense gives us a verification
399. 14:31code. This code confirms that we own the
400. 14:33website. So, we need to add it inside
401. 14:35the header of the site. I'll click copy.
402. 14:39Now, I'll go back to Hostinger Horizons
403. 14:41and I'll ask Horizons to add the code
404. 14:43for us. The prompt is simple. Add this
405. 14:46Google AdSense verification code inside
406. 14:48the head of the website on every page.
407. 14:50Do not change the code and do not change
408. 14:52or break the design.
409. 14:55Then I'll paste the AdSense code below
410. 14:57the prompt and send it. Horizons will
411. 14:59add the code to the website. And once
412. 15:01it's done, we need to publish the
413. 15:02changes.
414. 15:04This part matters. If the code only
415. 15:06stays inside Horizons and we don't
416. 15:08publish the website, AdSense won't find
417. 15:10it on the live site. So I'll click
418. 15:13publish, then publish changes.
419. 15:16Now the live website is updated.
420. 15:19Let's go back to Google AdSense. Here
421. 15:22I'll check I've placed the code. Then
422. 15:24I'll click verify.
423. 15:26And now the site is verified. This means
424. 15:29AdSense can confirm that we control this
425. 15:31website. I'll click next.
426. 15:34Now we can request a review. This is
427. 15:36where Google checks if the website
428. 15:38follows the AdSense policies. So I'll
429. 15:40click request review. Now AdSense asks
430. 15:43us to create a consent message. This is
431. 15:45about privacy and consent rules for
432. 15:47certain regions, especially if your
433. 15:49website gets visitors from places like
434. 15:51Europe, the UK, or Switzerland. For this
435. 15:53tutorial, I'll choose the second option
436. 15:55because it gives users clear choices.
437. 15:57Consent or do not consent. Then I'll
438. 16:00click submit. And now the site is sent
439. 16:02for review. This part is important.
440. 16:05AdSense approval is not instant.
441. 16:07Sometimes it takes a few days. Sometimes
442. 16:09it takes longer, even a few weeks. So
443. 16:11don't panic if your site is not approved
444. 16:13right away. Submit the site, wait for
445. 16:15the review, and in the meantime, keep
446. 16:17improving the website. Now, before we
447. 16:19leave AdSense, there's one more useful
448. 16:21thing I want to show you. I want to see
449. 16:23how ads could actually appear on the
450. 16:25website because we don't want ads to
451. 16:27ruin the experience. So, I'll close this
452. 16:29page. Then, I'll go to ads. Here is the
453. 16:31website. I'll click the edit icon. This
454. 16:34is where we can preview and control how
455. 16:35auto ads may appear. First, I'll turn on
456. 16:38auto ads. Auto ads means Google can
457. 16:40place ads across the website
458. 16:42automatically. So, instead of choosing
459. 16:44every ad placement yourself, Google
460. 16:46suggests placements based on the page
461. 16:47layout. Now I can preview how the ads
462. 16:50might look and I can switch between
463. 16:51mobile and desktop. This matters because
464. 16:54ads can look very different on a phone
465. 16:56than on a desktop. A placement that
466. 16:58looks fine on desktop might feel too big
467. 17:00on mobile or sit too close to the tool.
468. 17:02So I want to check both before applying
469. 17:04anything. And here is the key rule for a
470. 17:06website like this. The tool has to stay
471. 17:08clean. If an ad appears inside the QR
472. 17:11generator or right on top of it, it
473. 17:13makes the tool harder to use. And people
474. 17:15came here to use the tool, not to fight
475. 17:17through ads. That's why AdSense gives us
476. 17:19excluded areas. Here I can select any
477. 17:22area where I don't want auto ads to
478. 17:24appear. So if a placement could
479. 17:25interrupt the experience, I select that
480. 17:27area and exclude it. Now that area is
481. 17:30excluded. This means auto ads will avoid
482. 17:32placing inpage ads there. Then I'll
483. 17:34click apply to site. AdSense asks if I
484. 17:37want to apply the changes now or run an
485. 17:39experiment first. For this tutorial,
486. 17:41I'll choose apply now, then save.
487. 17:44There's also a tab called auto optimize.
488. 17:46This lets Google test and optimize ad
489. 17:48settings for you automatically. Leave it
490. 17:50on if you want Google to experiment on
491. 17:52your behalf or turn it off if you'd
492. 17:54rather control everything manually. For
493. 17:56a beginner setup, I won't go deep into
494. 17:58every advanced setting, but the rule
495. 18:00doesn't change. Preview first and never
496. 18:02let ads block the tool. Now, let's go
497. 18:04back to ad settings. There's also a
498. 18:06section called inpage formats. These are
499. 18:08ad formats that appear inside the page
500. 18:10content. things like banner ads,
501. 18:12multiplex ads, and related search. You
502. 18:14can turn each one on or off. More
503. 18:16formats mean more ad opportunities. But
504. 18:19if you overdo it, the website can start
505. 18:20to feel heavy. So, the goal is not more
506. 18:22ads. The goal is ads that fit the page
507. 18:25without annoying the visitor. Now, I'll
508. 18:27go back. That was auto ads where Google
509. 18:29chooses the placements. But there's
510. 18:31another way we can create a manual ad
511. 18:33unit and place it exactly where we want.
512. 18:36This gives us more control. So, I'll
513. 18:38close this preview. Back in the ad
514. 18:39section, I'll go to buy ad unit. Here,
515. 18:42AdSense lets us create different types
516. 18:44of ad units. For this example, I'll
517. 18:46choose display ads. Display ads are
518. 18:48simple and flexible. I'll keep the size
519. 18:50on responsive so the adapts across
520. 18:52desktop, tablet, and phone. Now, AdSense
521. 18:56asks for an ad unit name. This name is
522. 18:58just for us inside AdSense so we can
523. 19:00recognize the ad later. I'll call it
524. 19:02horizontal top ad. For the shape, I'll
525. 19:04choose horizontal. That fits where I
526. 19:06want it near the top of the page between
527. 19:08the title section and the QR generator.
528. 19:11Then I'll click create. Now AdSense
529. 19:13gives us the ad code. This is what we
530. 19:15place on the website wherever we want
531. 19:16the ad to appear. So I'll copy it. Now
532. 19:19back to Hosting or Horizons. And I'll
533. 19:22ask Horizons to place this ad in a
534. 19:23specific spot,
535. 19:25not inside the tool, but below the main
536. 19:28title and description and above the QR
537. 19:30generator.
538. 19:32The prompt is simple. Add this ad code
539. 19:34below the main title and description and
540. 19:36above the QR code generator tool. Then
541. 19:39I'll paste the ad code below the prompt
542. 19:41and send it. Horizons will place the ad
543. 19:43exactly where I asked.
544. 19:46And that's the real difference between
545. 19:47the two approaches. Auto ads are easier.
546. 19:50Google decides where the ads may appear.
547. 19:52Manual ad units give you more control.
548. 19:54You decide where the ad should go.
549. 19:57Personally, I like using both. auto ads
550. 19:59for the simple placements and manual ad
551. 20:01units for the spots I really care about.
552. 20:05Now, Horizon's added the ad code. And as
553. 20:07you can see, we now have an ad space
554. 20:09between the main title and the QR
555. 20:11generator.
556. 20:12But notice something. The actual ad is
557. 20:15not showing yet. And that's normal. The
558. 20:17site is still under review. So, for now,
559. 20:19we may only see an empty space or a
560. 20:21placeholder. Once AdSense approves the
561. 20:24site, ads can start appearing here.
562. 20:27That's exactly why we set up the
563. 20:28placement now before approval is even
564. 20:30finished.
565. 20:32Now I'll publish the changes. Otherwise,
566. 20:34this placement stays inside Horizons and
567. 20:37never reaches the live website.
568. 20:39So I'll click publish, then publish
569. 20:41changes.
570. 20:43Now the live website is updated. So the
571. 20:45moment AdSense approves the site, this
572. 20:47ad placement is already in place. Now an
573. 20:50important reality check. None of this
574. 20:52means the website earns money right
575. 20:54away. First, the site has to be
576. 20:56approved. And second, it needs visitors
577. 20:59because without traffic, there are no ad
578. 21:01impressions. So, the real next step is
579. 21:03getting the website in front of people.
580. 21:05And that starts with making sure Google
581. 21:06even knows it exists. Let's do that now.
582. 21:11And the tool for that is Google Search
583. 21:13Console. It's a free tool from Google.
584. 21:15It lets you submit your site, check that
585. 21:17your pages get indexed, and later see
586. 21:19which search keywords are actually
587. 21:20bringing people in. So, in the guide,
588. 21:22I'll go to step six. Submit your website
589. 21:25to Google. Then I'll click open Google
590. 21:27search console and I'll click start now.
591. 21:30Now Google asks me to add a property
592. 21:32here. I'll choose domain and I'll enter
593. 21:34the domain name only. No https, no
594. 21:37slash, just vivaqr.com.
595. 21:40Then I'll click continue. Now Google
596. 21:43asks me to verify that I own this
597. 21:44domain. And this time the verification
598. 21:46is a little different from AdSense.
599. 21:48Google gives me a txt record. I need to
600. 21:51add that record inside the DNS settings
601. 21:53of my domain. So, I'll leave this page
602. 21:55open and head back to Hostinger. Inside
603. 21:58Horizons, I'll open the menu. Then, I'll
604. 22:00click Hostinger dashboard. Now, I'll go
605. 22:02to domains. Here's the domain we
606. 22:04connected earlier. I'll click manage.
607. 22:06Then, I'll open DNS/name servers. This
608. 22:09is where we add DNS records for the
609. 22:11domain.
610. 22:13Under manage DNS records, I'll set the
611. 22:15record type to TXT. For the name field,
612. 22:18I'll use the root domain value. in
613. 22:19Hostinger that's usually at. So I'll put
614. 22:22at here. Now I'll go back to search
615. 22:24console and copy the txt record. Then
616. 22:26I'll paste it into the txt value field
617. 22:28in Hostinger and I'll click add record.
618. 22:31The DNS record is added. So I'll go back
619. 22:33to search console and click verify. And
620. 22:35ownership is verified. That means Google
621. 22:38now knows I own this domain. So I'll
622. 22:40click go to property. And now we're
623. 22:42inside Google search console. Since this
624. 22:44is a brand new website, there's no data
625. 22:45yet. So, if you see empty reports or a
626. 22:48message like processing data, that's
627. 22:50completely normal. Google just needs
628. 22:51time to crawl the site and collect
629. 22:53search data. Now, I want to submit the
630. 22:55homepage. So, I'll copy my website URL.
631. 22:58Then, I'll paste it into the URL
632. 22:59inspection bar. Google checks the URL.
633. 23:02And if it says the URL isn't on Google
634. 23:04yet, I'll click request indexing. This
635. 23:06doesn't guarantee instant ranking, but
636. 23:08it gives Google a clear signal that this
637. 23:10page exists and should be crawled. Now,
638. 23:13one more thing. For a tool website like
639. 23:15this, don't try to target everything at
640. 23:16once. Start with one main keyword. For
641. 23:19this site, that's something like free QR
642. 23:21code generator. So, the page title, the
643. 23:23tool, the explanation section, and the
644. 23:25FAQ should all support that one topic.
645. 23:28We already added the content and FAQ
646. 23:30earlier, but you can always go further
647. 23:32later with better answers, real
648. 23:33examples, use cases, and more helpful
649. 23:36content around the same tool. And while
650. 23:38Google is still discovering the site,
651. 23:39you can bring your first visitors
652. 23:41yourself. The easiest way, short videos
653. 23:43showing the tool in action. You can even
654. 23:45use chat GPT for ideas. So, I'll quickly
655. 23:47ask, give me 10 short video ideas to
656. 23:50promote a free QR code generator
657. 23:51website. Include a hook, a short script,
658. 23:54and a caption for each idea.
659. 23:57Now, I can take any of these, record the
660. 23:59tool on my phone or screen, and post it
661. 24:01on YouTube shorts, Tik Tok, Instagram
662. 24:03reels, or Facebook reels. It doesn't
663. 24:05need to be complicated. Show a simple
664. 24:07problem. Show the tool solving it. And
665. 24:08drop the website link in the caption or
666. 24:10profile. That's how you get the first
667. 24:12visitors while Google is still catching
668. 24:14up. And that's the full setup done. But
669. 24:16does this mean the website makes money
670. 24:18instantly? No. You still need AdSense to
671. 24:20approve it. You still need Google to
672. 24:22crawl it. And you still need traffic.
673. 24:24What you have now is the foundation, a
674. 24:26real tool website that people can visit,
675. 24:28use, and over time find on Google. And
676. 24:31remember, with the Hostinger Horizon's
677. 24:33plan I used, I can build up to 25
678. 24:35websites. So, this doesn't have to stop
679. 24:37at one tool. You can go back to the
680. 24:38Hostinger dashboard, open websites,
681. 24:41click add website, choose Hostinger
682. 24:43Horizons, and start a brand new tool
683. 24:45idea, a calculator, a word counter, an
684. 24:47invoice generator, a business name
685. 24:49generator, or any simple tool that
686. 24:51solves one specific problem. And the
687. 24:53approach stays the same every time.
688. 24:55Don't build random empty websites. Build
689. 24:58useful tools that solve real problems.
690. 25:00Make them easy to use with helpful
691. 25:02content. Publish them properly and
692. 25:03prepare them for monetization. Then give
693. 25:06Google time to find them. If you want to
694. 25:08follow the exact steps, the free guide
695. 25:10is in the description. The Hostinger
696. 25:12Horizon's link is there, too, so you can
697. 25:13start from the same place. And if this
