Rick has an Interview with Eric Giguere the author of Make Easy Money with Google. Here’s just one of the questions and answers:
4) How much money can one expect to make doing this? and how much time do I have to put into it
Ah, there’s the rub. As I say in the introduction, I didn’t title this book “Make Oodles and Oodles of Money with Google”. Some sites do make a lot of money. But those sites have been around for a long time and have developed a steady stream of traffic. Realistically, I would expect most people using AdSense make from $25-$250 a month with it, probably most of them on the lower end. So it’s not a lot of money. But there’s always potential there to make more if you can get the traffic up. Which I think is directly proportional to how much time you spend working on the site. But you can certainly create a site that pays for itself without a lot of hassle. And don’t forget there may be tax advantages – you’re running a business now, after all, and you can maybe deduct certain expenses that you couldn’t before. (Like I say in the book, see a tax professional for proper advice.)’
Looks like an interesting read – I’ll be interested to see how much of what Eric covers is new’ information and not the standard tips that can be found for free online. If anyone buys it – let us know what you think – I’d love to publish a review.
