Marari, a white sand paradise

Mararikulam, nowadays called as Marari by tourists is a beautiful white sand beach situated between Alleppey and the port city of Kochi in the state of Kerala, India.

Climate
Mararikulam has a balanced tropical climate throughout the year. The year round weather of this village is usually temperate and humid since it lies on the coast. It receives two monsoons; south west and north east. June to September and October and November, respectively. It receives an average annual rainfall of 3000 mm and 60% of the annual rainfall is from South West Monsoon. August to November has moderate temperatures and is associated with many celebrations including the Nehru trophy snake boat race in the Alleppey backwaters. Even though March to May is hot, but still it is nice for sightseeing.

Life
Most of them earn their living by fishing. Some traditional industries based on coir and coir products, handicrafts, toddy tapping (Palm wine tapping), etc have been leading the scene from the very early times. Now tourism is a prominent industry here.

When to visit:

The best time to visit is from September to March.

Where to stay?

If you prefer resort type ambiance, the best place to stay is Marari beach resort. However, if you prefer home stays; then there are couple of places  I can recommend. 




These homestays are affordable, neater and comfortable. They are just at walkable distance from Marari beach.

Explore Marari this season!

Make money using Google AdSense

If you have a website or a blog, then you can make money online using Google AdSense

It is a free program that allows website owners (publishers) to serve automatic text, image, video, or interactive media advertisements, that are targeted to site’s content and audience. 

How does AdSense work?

These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google and they can generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. This does not mean that you can generate money by clicking ads on your website nor draft contents which requests readers to click on the ads provided by Google on your website (AdSense). These are prohibited and this will lead to cancellation of your AdSense account. Read terms and conditions carefully during the sign-in process. No cheating. Period!

Furthermore, there are other programs like Clickbank, by which you can generate money through your website. That I will mention a bit later.

In the image below the ads by Google(highlighted in red) are those on top and to the right.



How much can I earn per view or per click?

The exact answer to this is : only Google knows. But if you want more money you have to generate more views; its that simple. You have to make your contents relevant for your audience to generate more interest. In certain sectors, advertisers pay Google more money. A software product could earn you more money, than from advertisers who sells, canned foods. 

Steps

Create website or blog with relevant contents. Sign in with your google account or creat a new account for AdSense. Then Google will approve your website(usually they will, unless you deal with some prohibited subjects) and you position your ads in such a way that people will notice it instantly.


It will take some time for you websites or blog to generate money. Write what you love on your website; and if you maintain the quality audiences are looking for, then the reward follows. 

Know more about AdSense

Remember More traffic = more earning.

Random thoughts: 
Never pay any websites that promise you big returns online. There is no easy money anywhere. It take a bit your time and energy to earn money.
