Sounds.not easy?

Get ready,start!

[justust]

I've been reading about adsense for a while and i want to make a decent living with it because in my country is imposible to find a job.So i don't want to become rich as God but say i am interested is anyone made a 1000$ in a month? How long would it take? Sounds like much work...does it pay off?

[dibbern2]

Much work? yes.
Pays off? yes.

1000$ in a month?

Many, me first, would love to reach this number. I'll quit my f*** job if i can get this figure

[Bddmed]

It all depends on how you look at it. I started my site in 2000. There were no ads on the site until 2003. The payout/hour spend is lousy I guess. But if I stop developing the site now it's likely it will bring in money for years to come.

It's certainly not a way to become rich quick. At least not for me.

BTW, Welcome to webmaster world.

Yes a lot of people make $1000 in a month and even more. I quit my 9-5 job back in april and now i have over 30 sites and making close to $10k a month with adsense and other affiliate programs.

You need time, and dedication. I couldnt handle working full time and then doing my sites. Now i work on my sites everyday and update it with new content. You need a site that will bring you visitors back to your site. First you need to think of something that interests you. Don't make sites just to put adsense on it and hope you will earn hundreds of dollars. Go with a website content that you most know about..example: if you're a mustang enthusiast make a mustang site, if you like animals make an animal site.

Before spending hours or days building a site think about ok when i'm done with the site how am i going to get visitors to it.

Too many people make a site but have no clue how to get visitors to it. You can spend some $$$ and advertise it but none of us want to spend money we all just want to make money.

Also if you want alot of visitors and an active site think about the sites that are very popular right now and try to compete with them. There are millions of people out there and not everyone is going to use the same site so even if you see big sites out there that you think there is no competition you're wrong. There is and it might not get as big as that site but you can still make good living out of it.

No I can do it for $120K i said I will work on year :)

btw I have no idea how to drive traffic to my site

[GiveMeMore]

i have over 30 sites and making close to $10k a month with adsense and other affiliate programs.

Can we ask if it is roughly $300 per site or you have peak sites, and if so what is the max money u are getting from one single site?

thanks

[StuntasticAudi]

I have 3 sites that make most money then bunch of little ones that get $5 a day..but they all add up so i'm happy with them. My average from my biggest money making site is $100-$150 a day.

[justust]

Thanks guy or girls...i heard about adsense,actually i seen it before but never had the clue what is it,on one forum in topic "how to get rich fast" and i said BS.No one is getting rich doing nothing but this proves to be a challenge that payes off.With 120,000$ yearly i would be secured for the rest of my life but 12,000$ yearly would secure me too.Thanks everyone on the info.

[StuntasticAudi]

One thing i forgot to mention is that adsense does not secure your future. We dont know how long it will last..it seems like they get sued from left to right. I want it to be here forever but it might go away one day or payouts might be much much less then they are now.

You can also get banned, sometimes it seems like you might not even do anything and they still ban you. Adsense is a blessing and you should be happy while you make money but dont plan your future on it.

[justust]

Thanks,enough if it's secure two years or so.

[uhwebs]

anyone made a 1000$ in a month?

Yes, there are a lot of people who do, myself included :)

But like bbmed ( I think ) I had my site before adsense... I worked for pretty much nothing, just because I was interested in the topic.

Find something you are interested in and learn about it, and make a website about it. Make sure it's quality. "get rich quick" stuff doesn't work. Work works.

[justust]

Interested in many things,but not speacialized in anything special.
I play guitar but making a site about guitars is not very interesting because there is a whole many sites about that topic.With much better content that i could ever offer.
I could make site about surviving with nothing in your pocket but those people who are on the net don't need that kind of advice.
Or I could make a site about cheating on exams,or how to deal with difficult teachers but i guess there is no ad "We kill your most hated teacher for 25% discount" he,he.Nah,I need what everybody needs...one great idea.Not so hard is it? ;-)

[uhwebs]

Haha, I love that last one. I hope I don't ever need that service :)

Maybe you COULD do a site about guitars.... when I started my site it certainly wasn't the best-- or even that good. But as you work you get better. Start it with basic info, then later you can do more in-depth articles, interviews, places to buy them, etc...

I suspect that a majority of the people who sign up for AdSense never make $100 - certainly only a tiny fraction of them make $100 within the first four months, going by reports from AdSense referrals.

And I doubt one AdSenser in a hundred makes it to $1000/month.

[leolapinos]

I must say that at first (2 years ago) i was sceptic when i heard all these 1000$/month stories. Then again adsense was just there on my site, without having ever considered what was possible and it generated about 80-100$ per month which was ok for me since I have a job and doing some business besides as well.

But I am getting closer at it each day thanks to optimising, backlinking and seo and at the moment the site (actually the forum) is paying my loan for the house I bought 3 years ago. It might not seem a big summ but when you no longer have to worry about the loan, then that's a good thing in the end :).

The next step is getting the actual content site doing well as well. So I think I will be touching the 1000$ withing the next months :).

And I have plans for starting a new site as well to generate some extra. I already have the content divided in seperate pages, next is the layout, working it all out and launching it. If it makes me 5 dollars a day, I will be a happy man. After that it can only grow. And who knows, perhaps it will pay my second house as well :).

If you are prepared to work hard, and keep on top of your site, and the quality of your site, there is no reason not to earn a significant amount of money from it. However - it is important not to rely on it as a sole source of revenue. The market is and will change. In my opinion, it is important to investigate other sources of revenue in conjunction with adsense. I earn the bulk of our money from Adsense - however I also have a number of smaller, but lucrative internet activities at the same time. Try to get in the position that if any one of your revenue streams stops over night and believe me it can - that the other revenues are enough to meet your needs.

I have been extremely fortunate and have earned a very significant sum from adsense. But it hasn't been easy, I have put in 17hour days for a lengthy period of time to get to this stage. Has it been worth it? Absolutely. If it stopped tomorrow would I be in the poo? I would probably be absolutely gutted, but hey, the money has been great while it lasted - now got no mortgage after 18 months, and yes my other revenues will cover all my overheads.

My advice - work hard, play hard, because you never know what tomorrow may bring - apart from anoter hangover that is!

[Fuzzyfish1000]

Yeah, it's perfectly possible. I usually do between $6k and $7k / month. But like the others, I was running the site long before Adsense, and it was a topic I was interested in. It's changed over the years, and now I run it as a part of my business. Everyone out there seems to be trying to make sites that work well for Adsense, but the trick is to make a site that works well for people. Good, well-informed content is the best recipe.

[Crystal Pegasus]

Yes, it is possible to make a really good income, but beware, it is also very fickle!

Our site is about 7 years old, definitely not an MFA, all unique regularly updated/ added content and has only had Adsense for a couple of years now. Our income has been consistently rising and recently we were making around $200 per day, sometimes well over, but in this recent Google shake up/ update or whatever you like to call it, our site has vanished from the Google SERPs and we have now dropped to only around $20 per day! Talk about shock! Hopefully we will make it back up there and soon... but who knows!

So, plan and be prepared for unexpected situations like this!

[piatkow]

How much you make per visitor depends on your market niche.

I run a site for a community arts organisation and the CTR is very poor. Adsense pays for the hosting and domain name but no more than that. IF we achieved the CTRs that reported for other areas I would be sending the treasurer a small but welcome cheque several times a year.
