Congrats Alvin!
You earned $3 more with Adsense than last month
It does seem that you can make much more from other sources than from Adsense. Money from Adsense is a real challenge.
To be frank Adsense is a waste of time
To be honest with you, I think adsense is not a waste of time, It is that money hasn’t come, if you really make money from adsense, I don’t think you would say a waste of time, but after all different people has different thinking.
If thats what you think you will never earn from adsense, think you should know negative thinking comes negative action…
Is just like people saying MLM is a waste of time and scam, but why if it is waste of time and scam still got people so successful…
Here’s some reasons why i say it’s not worth it
1. If you noticed all popular bloggers dont have Adsense, reason is because you earn really little for the amount of traffic you drive for Adsense.
2. I generate about 22,000 hits on Adsense with only 121 clicks and earn the average about $20 to $30. With 121 clicks I can easily sell one ebook on Clickbank and make a commission from US$30 to US$60 which you think is better?
3. To hit the $1,000 mark in Adsense I have seen friends did it you need at least 3,000 clicks on your Adsense with at least 100,000 hits++ on Adsense which I rather sell a digital book you earn much more
Or sell ad space
That is what you heard,and see, but I have see results of more then $1000 mark in adsense with a total of less then 100,000 hits, it is how you tweak your adsense, and not how you see and hear.
Of course am not an expert in adsense, but I have seen people taking home 5 figure income just from adsense, so it may be a waste of time to you but, to be honest it is truely a gold mine for others who know the way to tweak adsense.
I agree with Chendong, it’s not rocket science to reach the $1000 with Adsense, it’s just smart and ahrd work.
As far as I understand John Chow, Adsense cicked him out, but since you chat with him, you can ask
You say: “With 121 clicks I can easily sell one ebook on Clickbank and make a commission from US$30 to US$60 which you think is better?”
If that works for you, that’s great
And now it boils down to ROI. If you can get 30$ from 121 clicks, you have a Profit per click of 0.25 cent which is quite nice. Yet we all know that there are higher click pay outs in Adsense than that, so if you know how to reach that targetgroup, you are on your way to the $1000.
Adsense also works well with the “if you do this on 10 more sites” you have 10 times more earnings. I see that it doesn’t go that well with adding affiliate links on other websites to get the click through.
Now you say: why are you here if you can make $1000 with Adsense? Well, maybe the picture of Alvin holding a $4000 cheque in his hands, that’s still 4 times more
Affiliate marketing is a different ball game all together,it’s like saying you cannot make money with shoes, you should sell clothes… Both work if you know how to do it.
I am no expert in doing affiliate marketing, so I am learning here, there and everywhere. Meanwhile I earn using Contextual Ads (as usual, don’t put all your eggs only in Adsense).
And the main reason why Alvin doesn’t earn much with Adsense is… well, remember I asked you once: “where do you show Adsense Ads?”
You play a different game Alvin, you don’t need Adsense on this blog as it shows with your results.
