    Why? Because being a webmaster is an in demand job and brings me updates in and outside web.

    How did I? Online resources, books, and forums help

    About I year Back, In a local Newpaper (Mumbai Mirror) I read about Google Adsense and Blogger found it Interesting and straight away started with a blogspot blog ;) and now it is pretty much fine for me :D

    Love to earn some $$$$ online ;)

    I became a webmaster because I was tired of dead end jobs, where I had to work for "the man." I became a webmaster by building and marketing my websites.

    I had cancer last year - and needed something to occupy my mind while I was having chemotherapy. I developed my first site - http://www.trafficbunnies.com - and have since built about 20 other sites.

    Even though it was a yucky time as far as my health went, it was good - because I met all of these great people and found that I had skills I never knew I had :D

    Extra income :D. Its fun and i like doing it.

    How?
    When i started my first site i never knew about adsense. I was just running the site helping people out etc. Then i have no clue how i got to this forum, but when i did the income came pouring in :D.
