    Hey,

    A simple question here, I currently make around $10 on average a day, I have had good days and a lot of bad too.

    My best ever has been $25 but that really was out of the blue.

    Is the dream of making a living with Adsense real or just something very few people achieve?

    To me I would be happy with making $100 a day, that would pay for me to live fine.

    Everybody dreams about making a living online...
    You just need to keep that dream alive and eventually with hard work and some investment you may reach that goal.
    I never thought to make over $10/day one year ago..And now i'm making that which is quite good. The part of making money while you sleep is the best. :)

    Best advice I can give is to just keep going by making new sites and learning new things like affiliate marketing. I started learning this stuff last year,and now make about $50 a day. Hope to have it to at least $100 a day next year at this time.

    Its a reasonably achievable dream, one thing i would do as a backup plan is make sure that you equal that amount from other things too, so that if for some reason you cant do adsense in the future you can still survive.

    Of course it will make your income better too.

    If your entire online profit model is Google Adsense, you should really consider other ways of making money - you never want to have all your eggs in one basket, as the saying goes.

    a reasonable amount to make per day on Adsense should be around $250-$500 a day - which all depends on your network of sites, or the traffic you can bring in to your main site(s)

    Ultimately, you should look to monetize your traffic to companies directly, not Google. Imagine if you had the #1 spot in Google for "Mortgage Refinance" - sure, you'd make a decent amount of money from google ads, but you'll make 6 figures from a suitor like Wachovia, Bank of America, etc...

    $100 a day is hard to reach and keep going but keep doign what your doing, do it by the TOS and keep doing new things and keep making content.

    with hard work it cna come, just keeping the rate is the hard thing LOL

    As pointed out by RankSurge, broaden your horizons a little bit. Whilst it's perfectly possible to live off adsense, you'll earn a lot more if you create direct affiliations with other companies.

    Not to be discouraging, but I am pondering the same question - how worthwhile is Adsense or how do I break into the big bucks?

    I have been adding new sites and new content over the last year and my April adsense revenue is just barely more than what it was a year ago. (Last year it was $185, this year it looks like it will top $200 for the month.)

    I don't plan to give up this online business as my revenue from other affiliate programs continue to grow, still I was expecting more revenue growth from Adsense. :(

    The AdSense dream has nothing to do with your earnings. It all boils down to how realistic the publishers dream is to create revenue online...

    You don't get it by getting lucky... you work your @$$ off and learn that the dream is just a simple formula of creativity + work. Everyone that asks questions on how to make money with AdSense is f*cking sick. You already know that you get paid based on clicks, so go work on traffic. It's that simple.

    In my opinion the key to earning that kind of money is reinvesting your earnings. Start builiding sites and bringing in money. Xsitepro software works well because it contains build in SEO features to anaylize keyword density in your pages and stuff. Build links = free search engine traffic.

    Next take the adsense earnings and look to buy small adsense sites either here in the buy/sell/trade sections or venture over to sitepoint.com.

    Build and reinvest thats how you will make it.
