My adsense income has been constantly increasing month to month since january. I'm looking forward to it, Adsense earnings as full time job. Currently is only around 1/3 of my daytime job's salary.
I wouldn't dare bet my day job in the expense of adsense. First, your site could get outwit anytime and lose to competition and second, it is always exposed to sabotage. I will always take adsense as passive second income.
you'll never know when they kick us out.. so i would prefer sticking to my offline job..,but if you take it seriously for adsense you might earn much more than your offline job even 10-20 times... but
Adsense for a job? you must be a guru, or an website/blogs entrepreneur . and its not 100% guaranteed.
No, but it is part of an overall strategy to produce a steady income that one day can replace my day job.
Adsense is my main source of income (around $65,000 pa) but like most ppl say its not that stable, the best thing to do is diversify your income with many sites and a few servers.
My job was giving me Pak Rs. 7,500/- per month and my kid was also being not given the attention I should have giving him. After I switched to AdSense and my earning was around US$ 150 equivalent to around Pak Rs. 10,000/- I quitted it and till date Google is my Job.
you shouldn't rely on adsense however much you earn from it now. there's another thread on dp today http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1033690 about adsense suddenly dropping 40% for quite a few people a few days ago (me also). you don't have enough control over adsense to rely on it alone - it really can fall as fast as it can rise even if you've got a great site.
It really would depend. If i was making $5000 constantly i would not be scared to quit a $100/day job. If i was only making $100 with adsense i would keep my fulltime job
Within the next 6 months my websites will be my sole source of income as I go traveling. Not just adsense though, also affiliate programs. If my daily trend continues I'll make about $1300 this month from adsense & affiliate income. Not nearly what I make as a consultant, but more than enough to support my travels and doesn't keep me tied to a desk.
