Hehe, I think that is a "stage"

When I started with adsense, I was viewing the statistics 4 times per day, and I was earning less than 0.50$ per day.

Now I earn much more than that and I don't care about stats so much.

About the sites that you make and you see that they don't make money, you shouldn't worry as those sites are like lessons.

You must see what happened and they haven't succeed so you will be able to make the next site better, and this goes on and on....

me, i seldom get website projects.

my revenue online primarily comes from adsense and selling digital products i have resell rights to, like ebooks and software. i also offer specialized services to foreigners who need anything done here in my country.

so i guess im primarily an internet marketer.

I am hoping to get most of my company's income from sales, and use the ads to offset Google Adwords advertising...

I guess i'd be a marketer, i tend to develop and promote my own sites, monetising them by using Adsense and / or affiliate advertisements.

I've had some moderate success with adsense in the past, but in my opinion affiliate marketing has far higher potential revenue yields if you can pull it off right....

I also do a small amount of freelance SEO work.

hello BFTUK. i agree with you. if you have highly targeted traffic, affiliate programs will earn you more money.

not really "lots" but compared to adsense, the monthly income can be much higher if the affiliate product you promote is highly relevant to what your visitors needs. affiliate programs will sometimes pay you just for leads but will pay you more if that lead turns into a sale.

for example, i have this Filipina Penpal site and aside from adsense, i also display a banner for Filipino Friendfinder at the bottom of the page, which pay me a couple of cents per free signup, but when that member upgrades to a paid membership, i get 100% of the initial fee, usually $25, and a small percentage everytime he renews his membership.

yes. others say that selling webmaster related products is difficult since it is a highly competitive market.

vbignacio,

I used diff. affiliate programs, and you're right sometimes I earned more from aff. programs than from Adsense. But I can't say that for a lot of products that these earnings are better.

Example, I think that people buy a hosting via an Ad on my website because they think it's good and I have a unique promo page for this aff. product. Can't say that I have the same success with other products, the result lless clicks and tiny earnings.
Another example is my Template monster affiliate site (a complete website) there are only  a few sales within a month, but not that money that I will say it's amoney maker like adsense.

Webmaster, internet marketing, make money online and ring tones are very tough markets to play as an affiliate, but there are some niches that really pay off.

The real money is when you are doing arbitrage. Buying traffic for your landing page, and then convert that traffic to sales.

That depends. There are programs that pay 2% while others pay 20%.

The important thing is to use some products that convert, not just commissions.
