Is Adsense your Main Earner?

    I am interested to know how many people do actually get a full time income from Adsense and do it as their sole job - (looking for inspiration!).

    It will never be my sole income, however it does constitute a relatively decent amount on some months and compliments my web designers wage and affiliate schemes income.

    I only really use adsense to cover my hostings costs, and then usually a fair bit left over to blow on what seems good at the time :D

    I hope that adsense will give me a freedom sooner or later.

    Not the fulltime income but gets enough for hosting fees.

    Any n00bies who do mainly use Adsense only, need to look at a basket full of eggs.

    You would be foolish to rely solely on a company as unpredictable as Adsense. as soon as you make enough with Adsense, start finding ways to diversify your income.

    I will agree, does seem a little dodgey relying on it as a perm income. Rake up a nice big sum, then your account gets terminated. Oops.

    I use both affiliate and adsense. Adsense is around 50% maybe a little more.

    Absolutely, and I hope no one chimes in with, "As long as you're following the TOS, you're safe!" because as we know, that's just ridiculous.

    Rediculous, that about sums it up. I can see one day me falling into a mass depression over my account getting terminated...not that it would...would it...? :D

    i agree with that, but what i was saying was, what are some other ways of generating income (like adsense) besides adsense by still having adsense on the website.

    It's a good idea to read the whole TOS, becasue that pretty much answers any question you have regarding adsense terms.

    The people that do earn enough Adsense to make it their sole income, will have other sources of income.
