I started making websites in 2000, but back then it was just a hobby. It wasn't my goal to make any money. A couple of years later I started a pretty big website, it grew to thousand of visitors a day and about a year later I discovered AdSense. That's how I started making a couple of dollars a day. I learned SEO, my traffic increased and suddenly in January 2005 I was making close to $100/day.

I started expanding a bit and a couple of months ago I quit university to have more time. But not all months were good.. Sometimes everything just seemed to fall down and down..

P.S. I'm posting under a slightly different nickname because I forgot my password, I've tried the password recovery feature four times but I've still not received an e-mail.
 
200-300 a day all affiliates, and a few k month adsense. I had a few days where it looked like I was going to break out of the 300 dollar range with 2 days this month breaking the 400$ mark. Kicking off some ppc arbi sites today as we speak, gonna do a test on 5 niches 100.00 each. These sites should work well since I have multi-page SEO'd sites on the same topic. Looking for a 200-300% ROI so we shall see. But if i can do like some and hit a 60%+ CTR then even sweeter. First ppc arbi sites for me, only reason I am trying it is due to some of the people in the forum i have talked with that are having great success. I'm Pumped....

Also like George said,, I had a site doing 75-100 a day on adsense alone and in Feb then the G Dance pushed it so far back in the serps it died. G Dances seem to screw more people than they help.lol.

Mill you are aware that a %50 ROI would double your money right?

Are you sure? I'm no expert, but I think a 100% ROI would be doubling your money.

ROI can also be called Return on Ad Spend, or ROAS. Your ROI can be calculated as revenue from sales, minus advertising costs, all divided by the cost of advertising. For example, if your advertising costs for the past week were US$500 and you've sold US$1,000 worth of inventory as a result, you have a 100% ROI for the week ((US$1000-US$500) divided by US$500). To express ROI as a percentage, you multiply the result of this formula by 100.

That's right. If you spend $100 to earn $200 you have $100 profit. That's a 100% ROI.

A 50% ROI is when you spend $100 and get $50 profit.
 
I've been doing this for 2.5 months and mostly focusing on my wage earning jobs. I look at it on a per month basis still >$7

How to stay motivated when its a very small earning;
  • Measure in larger increments (weekly or monthy instead of daily).
  • Compete against yourself (work to do better than your previous month).
  • Reward yourself for goals met (make it equal...small goal-small reward/big goal-big reward).
  • Exchange monetary value for concrete value (earning a candy bar, hambuger, or gallon of gas is more gratifying than the $$ amount).
    • 33 cents=1 candy bar on sale
    • $1=one item from value menu at McDonalds
    • $2.85=a gallon of gas

$2.85 would get me about half a gallon of gas.
 
Never got Americans whining about the gas prices. Come over to Europe if you want to break down in tears, people.

Fuck yes! >_<

In the UK:
£1.05/$2.00 per litre

3.7 litres per gallon

$2.00 x 3.7 = $7.40 per gallon!
