    Heya all,

    I now wonder how many of you are doing adsense (or maybe other ads) full time and have no other money income? It should be not 1 or 2?

    Cheers,
    Fallen

    I would say one out of every 100,000 might be able to make a living doing it.

    I would love to live off adsense, but with my current earnings it's still a distant dream.

    too risky on adsense alone. They could pull your plug at any time.
    Diversify to stay alive :)

    True, but their ad network across all them sites that incoporate adsense will also pull the plug and move on to another PPC program. Not smart for Google to do, I'm sure they know this.

    Our Adsense and affiliate income is basically all we live off. The only other money is the small allowance our government pays to help raise your children- one son in our case.

    We plan to evolve more income streams in time... not relying on just a couple of "baskets", so to speak. :)

    There are a lot of people that just live out of Adsense income.

    Define what "a living" means.

    To some making just $10 USD a day is a living. To others it's $50. To others its $1,000. :)

    Anything is possible.

    It's really not rocket science. Get quality traffic organically to your site(s) and X% will click through AdSense daily. So yes, AdSense is there to provide a living for you. The question is, do you have the ability to get the proper traffic?

    Most fail, because they waste enormous amounts of time on forums trying to read "quick money" posts rather than just starting out and building a solid business.

    i have made around 60$ this month, in different ways on line.
    so, if i get going this way, i could make a living off it if i invest all my time in it.

    Curious,

    What does making a living mean? Everyone is different, and this could be a couple hundred a month for some with a pension and SS supplement, so making a living is not an accurate statement.

    Good luck to all, Mike

    Unfortunately, I would need a lot of revenue to make that dream come true! Considering the cost of health care, oil, food, mortgage, taxes, ... I am guessing I woul need a STEADY $400 day.

    I think the key word is steady. You would already need a popular site that generates revenue via sales to even think about Adsense supporting one's habit for eating out or buying fancy cars. Adsense varies day to day. I also think that there is a risk of how long the gravy train (with biscuit wheels) can last.

    You would need a ton of traffic and find the top paying keywords/niches. Some people can live purely just on Adsense, but this is a small percentage.

    You can definitly live on web advertising income. What I would do is sign up for several pay per click companies and rotate the ad viewings. It is definitly possible to leave from web advertising income. Take a look at the big websites. They are receiving a huge amount of revenue from adsense.
