Best of luck man! Everyone's loosing their jobs these days, but maybe like the many posts above me, this could be a good thing you seem to earn a solid income online, and give the extra hours it can only grow from here
Thanks guys for all your encouragement and motivation and tips and advices.. I really appreciate that..
I'm the same as you. I live in poor country and make 3k from Adsense ..i added Kontera and that looks on it's way to 1k per month. That kinda money is plently here, so I voluntarily left my full time job. They didnt want to loose me so they offered the same salary on a small part time basis. My girl's having our baby at the end of February and I'm able get everything they need plus my first car. Next on the list is a nice home on the beach with no rent
If you do adsense as full time also I guess you can still survive. There's no limit on the web's income. You can be even a millionaire through web business.
OP: Sounds like your doing really well and obviously this 'empire' has been built from you working on a part time basis. Now you have the opportunity to dedicate full time hours, which means that you will go on to bigger and better things... if you stay focussed! Best of luck. And, Screw the corporate machine anyway, become your own boss for the rest of your life.
@Tarakan - If you can earn $1100 whilst working FULL time outside of your IM activities, then you will EASILY be able to pull in $3000 a month + with more hours to dedicate to it. My advice to you is to stick with the formula you are using because it is working and then once you have enough to be comfortable then that's the time to start looking at things like diversification. Your principle of FOCUS has served you well so far. Stick with that blueprint for the time being. Good luck ( but you won't need it ) - Dean
Yes, It's true. Today on most of the blogs the google ads stopped showing and some public service ads started appearing. Google explains properly why PSA's appears on a blog. See here. I hope Google solves this problem asap because many bloggers are getting irritated by this situation. I also talked about this here: http://www.smartbloggerz.com/2009/01/adsense-not-showing-ads-today.html Latest Update as of now: The Issue has been resolved http://www.smartbloggerz.com/
Well the exact same ad appeared on my blog. But I still don't get it. I didn't fulfill any of the reasons given on the adsense page.
The problem seems to be with Blogger blogs only . This might be a little glitch and will probably get back on track soon. Two of my blogger blogs have also been affected by this.
yes even 2 out of three ad slots on one of the site at blogger are showing PSA ads now but other 2 sites not on blogger showing relevant ads.
Me too.. My banner is showing psa now. and my ad link is gone! I think blogger is now having a maintenance.
Whats going on!!! All of my blog site is showing only Google Adsense public service ads!!! Any idea??
