Here is a link of someone going from $10 a month to $45,000 a year.

Very Nice, most blogger started blogging as a hobby but when they know adsense, chitika and other money generators, the hobby became a ways of living.

 

Well, I guess he can just about live on $45,000 a year.

 

Flabbergasting Figure...So this is sufficient to prove that you can make a living on the net

 

$45,000 a year almost 4000 a month thats too good

 

I hate stories like this, it gives everyone the wrong impression!

 

I kind of agree with you, but I think the majority of people who start after reading this type of story, would soon realise it actually takes some work on their part, and will give up.

This type of story can be nice motivation to some of the newer/lower earners on here.

Cheers qwestcommunications!

Thanks for sharing, maybe there is hope for me yet!

 

Well, it sounds great, but $45,000... I dunno, if I was that guy I'd buy me four years in a good university and after that, earn twice as much.

175,000 new blogs per day. I never thought it would be that much!

 

hmm 45k$/ year omg i would be pleased if i could make 10k/year :\

 

Good story and even more surprising because it's a blog and not a 'real' website. But it shows that a good, well executed idea, in the right niche - combined with good, original content is the best way to be successful..

 

Think about his expenses - $45k is not that much. To be honest, I would be a little disappointed still. But then, I always like to aim high.

 

These types of success stories motivate me

 

It will motivate new bloggers. Hardwork and execution are important. It is a long term process.

 

why the hell would someone be passionate about GPS systems??

Make himself sound good instead of writing " i created a website to make money from adsense"

 

What are his expenses? I fail to see what would cost him much for this site.

 

Some people have a passion for certain types of technology, whats the problem? Im sure you have a hobby, its just like that.

 

I think success stories like this will only increase more and more as consumers realize that online reviews and shopping are the way of the future for low prices and informed purchasing decisions.

 

Exactly, what expenses could he have right now other than the web hosting? I'm pretty sure that being one of the top "gps" blogs around, companies send him free stuff to review.

 

Looks like his built a reputation. I know that a lot of companies are now seriously ken on having their products blogged because of the viral marketing effect that it can have,espcecially when it gets picked up by other blogs, etc. Its like having your product exposed to hundreds of thousand of people, if not millions, ehich may be the case on very popular blogs.
