Are you thinking about quitting your job?

Or have you already quit your job as a result of Adsense?

Let me tell you my story. I make more money on Adsense than I make on my low-paying full-time sallaried job. I do not like my 9-5 job and if I could change it, I would do it instantly (but unfortunately, it's hard to get another job in Vancouver, BC - when it comes to employment situation, this city really s--ks, if you know what I mean).

So, I am still stuck with my job and don't want to lose it (yet). My website has performed well in the last three months and success continues to this day (and I hope it will continue for months and years to come).

The secret of my success is rich and fresh website content that constantnly grows. Also, I believe that my website design is beautiful and that is one of factors that impresses my visitors.

Yet, I am not ready to quit my full-time low paying high stress office job.

How about you? Have you already quit jor job over Adsense? How is your website performing? Thanks for your input.

Overall, I'm enjoying the AdSense experience very much. Would I bag my principal way of making money in favor of it? Not a chance. There are simply too many variables that could sink - or seriously impair - my AdSense income to be able to rely on it.

That's true. There is always another panic or crisis around the corner.

And running a profitable website is any different?

I make a decent income from AdSense, but I don't work at it any less than I would at a "real job". In fact I probably work more since I try to update things every day, including weekends and vacations, and constantly create new content and optimize the site based on latest traffic stats about where people are entering and leaving the site, not to mention SEO.

As well as AdSense I also work on alternate advertisers and affiliates, optimizing my use of them too.

Maybe that's why I make a decent income rather than just being lucky and lazy?
