Anyway, good advice, I think I'm going to try and stick at it for a while longer and see what happens. Thanks Bill.

I consider it my "restaurant" money-- the hubby and I will be able to go out for a few dinners using the income from my blog. After just a few months of Adsense, I’m getting close to the cash out point. I consider it my “restaurant” money– the hubby and I will be able to go out for a few dinners using the income from my blog.

I wrote my impressions about it over at my site. Basically, I think there are two types of people: 1. Those that just want to supplement their career income as much as possible with blogging as a "hobby" and; 2. Those that go all the way and fund their lifestyle from internet cash flow. Both are very different and require a separate commitment, and I would suggest skill level. You have a great site here. Thanks, The Internet Cash Flow Guy This is a great post.

I have been freelance writing for clients for a few years as I try to develop my own career as an author. Recently I've expanded into blogging both because my usual wells have been dry of late and the potential in blogging seems incredible. I wasn't sure, though, what the reality was about blogging until I read your article. Now I see that, since I fall into all 3 of your categories and I have the staying power coming from writing being my one and only career already, I feel empowered to get on course and stay on it. Thanks again. Thank you so much for this practical and realistic insight into blogging for money.

When i put adsense and text-ads-link i earned very little money from it. I think that visitors rarely click on adsense even though they visited the site.
