I was wondering, how many people here are making a living via their websites?
And I don't mean webdesigning, SEOing etc. for clients, but just getting revenue from your own sites (sales, ads etc.)

I wouldn't say its a "living" since I still live with my parents, and I pay only half of my car, and I don't pay bills...

But I make a significant amount for someone my age, with the hours I put in, and the time that I spend. Compared to everyone else I know, I've got the most unique job, the most flexible hours, and the highest average "hourly wage".

Yes, I earn quite alot from websites, but it isn't exactly stable enough for me to even consider living on my own. I'm only 15 anyways, school comes first. :thumbup:

I make enough to make a 'living' while in college. I make enough to pay rent, bills and car loan. Then I can still sometimes eat if I'm lucky. :P

No I don't make a living with my websites, I'm still supported by my family.

**imported_dvduval** · 07-07-2006, 11:15 AM

I see a lot of young people here. That's good. You will be doing even better in a few years.

I have been making a living at it since early 2004.

**Frito Pie** · 07-07-2006, 11:17 AM

I make a living from my websites.

**ForgottenCreature** · 07-07-2006, 11:42 AM

Well I still live at home but I do pay most of my own bills. I have no other job, so I'm earning whatever independent living I have :P

**Romestar** · 07-07-2006, 12:08 PM

Something I am more interested in is do any of you make your living primarily of ads?

Yea school does come first but I know you skribblez, you do sell websites very well and make great money doing that for your age. c'mon seriously what you are doing definitely beats working at fast food restaurant. :thumbup:

I am doing this for a living. Not quite making what I made when I worked outside of the house, but it is steadily climbing, and the work environment is much more comfortable.

**Synozeer** · 07-07-2006, 03:36 PM

Websites are definately my main source of income, although I still work a day job because it's very laid back and I get to do things like post on forums and work on sites.

When my son is old enough to go to preschool I'll consider quitting so I can work on new projects from home.

I have made a fulltime living since 2000, however, it is not without it's ups and downs. I feel you need to make enough to cover the ebb and flow. You have to be constantly improving or you die.

I make 60% of my income through adsense, the rest through Casale, clickbank and few others.

**Hoang** · 07-07-2006, 03:59 PM

I'm not making a living off this but am working on building my little empire to the point where I can. It's coming along nicely though

Only a few more months before I get there.

**imported_fryman** · 07-07-2006, 05:22 PM

I didnt even finish university and I earn way more than any of my friends that did

**ltn1dr** · 07-07-2006, 05:25 PM

I don't even need to make an income, but then again I'm not making THAT much either to live off of.

You and me both Fryman. I dropped out of an Ivy leage college here in NY, and I went with my gut feeling that I would be happier and make more money in the longrun than if I did by staying and following the set path that everyone else was on. I thank God for giving us the internet every single day.

Building Websites... or atleast working on websites is my main income. I own 2 high traffic websites that I make a few bucks a month on... not enough to quit any other work, yet.

Adsense seems to be the only thing that works, so far.

I've tried Clickbank on like 2 of my sites for almost a year with no sales... I still feel that their system is jacked up somewhere lol... I do know people that make sales but I know a few of my members literally tell me they purchase from the ads and I never got paid for them.. and yes, the codes were right.

So, right now I only trust companies like Google. =\

Have you applied for YPN yet?

I switched to them from Adsense and never looked back.
