Does anyone know a 'friend' who makes more than $10K a month?

Just curious to see what kind of levels one can reach with adsense. And since stoopid G doesn't allow disclosure of Adsense details... I'm just wanting to hear ballpark numbers anyway, sort of a pep-talk.

mid $X,000 to $XX,000 would be extra damn good money for someone to make. Does this sort of money only come to the likes of giant well established sites, or can it happen in the right industry?

It seems odd that so many people are blown away at 10k a month when the obvious item that isn't brought up is that 10k isn't the net income in all cases.

Apologies, I should have mentioned that I don't advertise that site online or offline. It survives purely on content, links and very kind SEs.

Show me a freelance writer (who understands how to do research without simply siphoning info from other web sites) with a couple hours a day to spend reading WebmasterWorld and working on sites, and I'll show you someone who can make that 10k mark in a year or two.

You are spot on there. A little knowledge, a lot of research, and the ability to string a sentence together can carry you far.

I, just starting out, can have an arguement with someone making $300k a year on some trivial web development point

It's not just about speaking with people who earn a lot. Remember, you can also speak with Yahoo or Google here.

I am saying this again :- 10k/month is average , its not some big rare achievement ...

Shed your skeptism and THINK BIG!

Ok, Retiring to my den :)
