I've recently commited myself to a personal goal to earn $100/day with adsense within 1 year (although I've heard it shouldn't take that long.)
So I was wondering how to get started? I've been doing research on adsense for a couple of weeks now and I think I just need to jump in and get wet so to speak. Maybe someone could reccomend the best "Getting Started with Adsense" guides out there. My budget isn't huge but I could probably come up with enough money to buy one of the adsense courses if I knew it would be a really worthwhile comprehensive step-by-step guide to adsense that included everything I needed to know. It's just that there are so many it's difficult to know what's good and what isn't.
Any tips, advice, reccomendations or help would be much appreciated!
Thanks : )
I guess you need a website first. It's normal for people to start all kinds of things to make money, but according to Adsense's TOS, we aren't suppose to make sites for the purpose of making money with Adsense. Maybe it's just semantics. Google has to approve your site anyway. So, what's your site going to be about?
Let me edit this real quick. You may not want to tell us what your site is about.

Yes that's possible if you research your niche well however bear in mind that there are a huge number of excellent, well-established niche sites which are earning nowhere near that money.
It's not an easy road to riches, you do have to know what you are doing and there is no necessity to pay for a course since all the information you'll ever require can be found by searching or asking through WebmasterWorld.
Understanding the basics of page hotspots to create your initial template will then avoid you having to have an early re-design!

A couple of weeks ago I changed the oil in my car, before that the most i've ever done is put gas in the tank.
Changing the oil was easy so I am going to start a mechanic shop in my garage. I figure in 9 months to a year i'll be pulling in about $3,000/month as a at home mechanic.

O-U-C-H! Way to take many years of hard work, study and dedication learning computer science and web devlopment and make it sound so easy that a mentally challenged monkey could do the same thing if you slapped a keyboard in front of his face.
There are members here who don't know how to write code let alone know anything about computer science but it does not stop them from having a web site and earning money from it.
I asked questions, filtered out the pros and cons and applied the advice from the many good people here.
What I have learned out of experience in that short time is tweaking makes sense. Keep adding good quality fresh copy. It's like spider food. Feed it and it'll come back for more. Each time it visits your site, it sees new fresh copy. You'll get new fresh ads for your efforts.
It's taken me a little less than a month to get that $100 but but the first week I was on 60 cents!
I'm aming for $100 per day and see no reason why it won't happen.
Don't cheat, work hard, keep refreshing and you will be rewarded.
Good luck
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but there is a huge difference between $100 a month and $100 a day.

It helps to read the post properly.

Everybody started with zilch, nobody made $100 in their first month.
These are the kind of swipes that demoralise newbies. I'm a little long in the tooth for negative one liners but it can affect others.

PD's comment is not a swipe, it is a reality check for all of those who think they can include Adsense and start raking in $100 per day without any effort.
I'm not implying you have made no effort, you are learning the hard way to make it profitable for yourself, however it is important that others comprehend it is not a get rich quick scheme.
Like all good business models it must make sense and one must have a plan otherwise it is doomed to failure however the $100 a day is a great target to have but start with a more realistic target of $10, then $20 then $50.
My easiest jump without doubt was from $20 to $50, the $50 to $100 was much more difficult.

I know from personally experience that the above statement is not true.
Everybody started with zilch, nobody made $100 in their first month.
I can assure you that many first time Adsensers have earned a lot more than that, mine was $232.16 and Adsense had been included on a few pages just for experimentation!
I sure wish I knew then what I do now...
A newbie has a lot to learn, it took me a full year before I knew enough xhtml, css, seo, php, and mySQL to even launch my site... let alone writing enough content to make $100 a day.
If I were a newbie, I plan to launch in 9 months and spend that time learning all of the above and information architecture and start making a blueprint of the site and choosing a CMS. Then I'd launch in 9 months and in 12 months I'd be out of the sandbox.

I meant to say $100 per day in their first month!
Lets be honest, how many people here went from knowing nothing (no html, no programming background) to making $3,000/month in less than a year?
Here's my original post before points were picked upon.
I started adsense almost a month ago. I'm over the $100 pay cheque but can't it because I'm awaiting a pin.....but's that's a whole new thread!I asked questions, filtered out the pros and cons and applied the advice from the many good people here.
