Wonderful to hear about your success. Great to see you making it as a full-time blogger.

Congrats on bringing it in though! Everyone’s def. on their own level (i, myself, only bring in $13/mo! haha…) but you’re right in that it depends on how you look at it. For m, $2k is a hefty income! but i only write during my free time – i could totally see how different it is if you’re blogging full time.

Thx for sharing all the info though, it helps out a lot of us bloggers out there :)

I just thought that adding a little more adsense would increase your income. But of course I am sure you’ve probably tried it all.
Good luck next month!

That’s like asking if someone’s portfolio is optimized for maximum performance… talk to ten different people and there will be ten different solutions. I believe I have a great balance of performance and site readability. Others may disagree with that statement.

Congrats on your alternative income. Sorry about the stupid question, but If is the current Adsense present on your sites, optimized for maximum performance?

Yeah, I the consulting gig had a number of issues that lead to me parting ways with the company.

Congrats on the traffic and $$!

I thought you were doing some part-time consulting? Or was that just for a particular amount of time?

Either by the day or the month, it’s the same concept, just different numbers. I really like tracking it because it keeps me responsible.

I have started thinking of my alternative income goals in terms of dollars a day. Right now my family needs about $73 a day to maintain our current standard of living (rent, food, insurance, gas, etc.). We aren’t anywhere near that but recently we have seen some significant improvements (like at 295% increase, but still below $50 for the month :) ) so I am getting pretty hopeful that things will get better over the next couple of months.
