I am not sure if there anyone on DP making $1000 a day. You almost certainly have to have very, very popular site to get that.
The books are mostly scams and you can find everything in a book right here on DP if you take the time to search. It's tough to make a $1000 a day doing anything let alone adsense. Just work hard on your site and get people interested in what you have to offer. The rest will take care of itself in time.
mostly BS.. but some old .com'ers that got in back in to the net in the late 90's are doing very well now. Thats not to say the newbies arent kicking butt either.. i guess it depneds on how bad you want it.. I remember hearing a quote from a wealthy man ( i think jack welch). He was asked what woudl he do if he lost it all. he said he would have it all back in 5 years... Take trump for example.. take away all his money and assets and I bet you he can start small and work his way up pretty frequently...
I'm sure the $1k-a-day club is bigger than we think.. i myself have a long way to go to get there, but it's not totally out of reach.. As far as selling/pimping/whoring eBooks: Even if I was making $1k/day i would probably continue to sell my ebook.. i guess when you're "driven", you never settle.. why stop at $1000.00/day when you can make it $1010.00 ? That's why everytime I see someone else selling an ebook, or some other service, i totally ignore the "..if you're making so much, why are you selling $5 ebooks.." (or whatever).. you should always be skeptical, but it's those people that are 'driven' that are often the best to learn from.
Hm... Lets say $0.10/click so you will need 10.000 clicks. At 10% click through you will need lets say.... 100.000 daily targeted visitors!!!
People that make $1000/day do tell people - they just don't running around publicly screaming I make $1000 a day - and for good reason. I know I personally had a chat with my mother - one of the few people in my offline life that I confide my earnings to these days - about just how much information you should put out there. I mean if you want to look at your earnings as a reflection of not just your sites and the hard work you have put in - but look at it as a reflection of your intellectual property which is what is the real leverage over your competition you'd be crazy to want to bring undue attention to your "methods" just so you can build your ego - because while you have your inflated ego for 2 days you competition will be deconstructing your site so that they can implement the same tactics and then next thing you know your leverage in the industry is gone. Now then there is the old argument of "let people know how much you earn but tell them your supplier" strategy but on the internet when push comes to shove people are savvy enough to work 90% if it out and I mean business on the internet isn't' quite like business in real life, people can literally look at your source code see everything you have done, check your backlinks etc - long story short 95% of stuff on the net can be reproduced - thus all the scrapers out there. The main reason I don't tell too many people my earnings in my offline life - and where possible I try to avoid in my online life as well - is because some people are just darn resentful of your success. There is something about the human condition that makes us resentful of those that are truly achieving in life because we perceive that their achievement is a reflection of our lack of achievement and that this must mean that we are inadequate or lazy or something and this make us resentful. That is why "walking with humility" is very important for successful people because it is very easy for people to despised someone that far more successful than them thus the successful people of the world if they wish to be well received by the "average joe" need be more considerate and accommodating for those not quite as successful - any I'll stop here I'm ranting. Yes but someone who has achieved $1,000/day in my honest opinion has made it there by investing their time poorly - now if you do the math, if someone who makes $1000/day sells an ebook for $10 and even if they can sell 1000 (extremely unlikely) that is still only $10,000 and if you think about it the amount of time it would take to compile such an ebook would take days upon days and then to sell 1000 of them you'd need to invest many more days working on marketing, and potentially setting up JV partners etc and at the end of the day you probably find that the investment in time wouldn't be worthy the initial monetary value. Some people might say - well if he could sell 1000 of em and make $10,000 then it's worth it, but someone with the intellectual property to make $1000/day could no doubt over the space of say a month (the time required to produce an ebook) could feesably turn that $1000/day into $1200/day and over the space of say 12 months (which is the factor I always increased earning by) would have increased their annual income by over $70,000. So obviously it would make more sense to scrap the ebook idea - yes? Well that depends - so there is HUGE value in being considered an expert in your field. When people know you are successful they look to you for advice and they are happy to listen and read what you have to say. I mean you can look at guy like Joel Comm - whose main claim to fame was his AdSense Secrets ebook and his "The AdSense Code" print book. Now what Joel now has as a result of that book is a HUGE readership of thousands of webmasters all listening to him intently in the hope to replicate his success. So what does he do - so instead of producing his own products he now just endorses others and takes a slice of the profits. For example he may plug some "AdSense Video" collection or something and that video collection might be sold for $97 and of that Joel might get $27 per sale that he referred. Now seeing he literally has thousands and thousands of readers he might send a couple of emails out about it and make a blog post - and lets say he has 10,000 reader for arguments sake (though I'm confident he has A LOT more than that). So if 10,000 people read the email/blog post and say 3% of people that read it go on the purchase the "AdSense Video" product - at 3% x 10,000 x $27 - that's $8100 all from sending an email out and making a blog post - Not a tough way to make a living is it. Now imagine if you build your list to 20,000 or 30,000 - I'm sure I have read that there are people out there with lists of 100,000+. And all of this is from being considered an expert in the community - and to become an expert in the community you normally need something like an ebook, book, super popular blog/webiste on the topic etc So the limited short term gains of such an ebook can be justified by the ongoing income that will result from the branding of your persona as an expert in the field. A good one. Seriously - that's the answer. Each and every chance you get you should be asking the simple question of "how can I make this site better for my users?" If you can continue to implement good answers to the question consistently success won't be an issue. There are definitely people on DP that earn that. Ebooks aren't all scams - many of them provide wonderful insights that I to date have yet to see brought up here on DP - and I have been here awhile and the AdSense section of DP is pretty much the only place I post in - so I'd know. And as for people not making $1000/day from AdSense alone - again there are quite a number of people here on DP doing just that. I totally agree with you on this. $1KD Club is growing all the time - only this morning I was looking at the AdSense section of DP and going "dam there are lot of people making threads about how they are making $50/day or $100/day" I mean seriously when I first join DP back in Oct 2005 $100/day what outrageous, and very few achieved it - it seems that with every passing month more and more are hitting three figures a day and for me personally I don't feel four figures a day is an unattainable goal this point, and not only is it attainable I'll probably be pushing to achieve it this year! I'm going to disagree with this point - I know you and I have had a recent conversation about AdSense ebooks - but I personally don't think creating an ebook for the pure purpose of alternative revenue is enough - I really think to achieve the best ROI on writing an ebook the bulk of the additional revenue will not come from the book itself rather the ebook would just be the catalyst for the other means of monetizing your increased exposure as a result of the ebook. But that is just my Two Aussie Cents.
to note who is possibly doing $1k-a-day? TechCrunch.com make $2000 a day(30 day month) on their 6 block ads(yes its not adsense), I would assume (looking at their sitemeter stats, 80k vists a day) they also make well over $1000 a day on adsense. Pierce
Pixel2life was (when it had ypn and adsense) making $1K a day. Adsense isn't free money. People who make 1k a day may have well over 20 sites to do that, or have more than one site that makes 1k a day. People making that much a day want to make more, and everyone does. So why not add an ebook or too? (and most have more than one!). Trust me, if you were making that much, and you knew you could add an extra $10,000 a month with ebooks...you would! Earning money in the online world isn't much different then earning in the offline world. Want to earn 1k a day? Become a damn good lawyer in New York, or in the online world...become a damn good internet marketer! Moreover, anyone making that much on adsense has atleast 2 other sources of income (other adsense type things, and aff. programs) and those often include ebooks. Don't put all your eggs in one googley basket
Depends on how much time, effort and money it required to sell the ebooks. The situation is still all about opportunity cost. If they can make more money selling ebooks than focusing on their core business (creating popular sites that are monetized by AdSense) then definitely they should, but if they can increase their AdSense earnings by more than $10,000 over 12 months by not bothering with the ebook then they should just focus on continuing to build their sites.
