I use to promote adsense ads, until they terminated my account for I have no idea. Got to the payment threshold and blam, gone was my account with no explanation as to why. I have now been promoting YPN with MUCH better results than I had with adsense. I also have approx. 1000 - 1200 unique visitors per day to my auction site and have been avg. approx. $8.00 per day with YPN :tt1:

Nice story. I see so many people at dead end "fast food" style jobs. While I am thankful that there is someone willing to serve me I feel sad for the ones who are stuck doing dead end work.

Hi Shan,
That was a fun competition indeed, and thanks for your congratulatory message.

If anything, it's testatment to the fact that successful internet marketers have to be persistent and willing to go the extra mile to achieve success... a little doggedness doesn't hurt either!

Lots of excellent entries!

A Lot of money is to be made online.. I started with my first website myself 2 years ago. Then i started building more in my free time.. The last few months i make around $1000,- each month consistantly.. Every dollar i earn i invest in my sites/servers, and hopefully one day ill be able to live off of my offline income...

I'm a regular high school student. I had to start out with a type of job where I was paid around 9 dollars per hour. I didn't have any flexibility with my schedule, my manager put whatever time he needed me to come. The people for the next shift didn't arrive on time and I had to wait an extra thirty minutes for them to arrive. There were no breaks either. I was getting frustrated with this type of job because I wasn't really treated good.

I started looking for other methods to earn money. I wanted to earn money for my college funds, so I started looking online. I found that there were many many ways to make money online. I taught my self web-designing/website development and started my own website. I heard about Google Ads and started placing them on my website. My website received around 800-1000 uniques per day. It was on my favorite TV show, and I submitted it to good topsites also. I ended up earning $50 the first month, and $100 the next month. It was nice getting the $150 from Google Adsense. I was content with the earnings I got from the web.

I started developing other websites with different subjects and slowly started earning more. I quit my job once I figured out that I could earn the same amount online, and I could be my own boss too. I had a lot of free time too. I improved my web development skills through forums like SitePoint. Since then I've learned a lot about search engines, cpc ads, cpa ads, and other ways to make money on the web. I've been earning at least $100/mo.

Start your own website, make good content, and advertise. I earned money this way and you can too. The Internet is a place where you can make tons of money, you just need to find a way to make it. The guy who did the Million Dollar Page was able to earn a lot of money. You can too. Come up with your own idea, do not wait.

worth the risk

Earning 100$ is something, I saw a guy with a photo of google 120000$ check. But maybe I don't suggest to quit job, but use adsense to get extra earnings per year. Maybe working 2 to 3 hours a day.
