Hi I am a trying to work at home dad.
Due to the current economic situation, I have lost my jobs unable to get one for past half a year. Doing part time jobs to feed my family. Few weeks back I came across this website"Work as a freelancer", which I am trying to promote regarding Freelance Jobs and to earn from adsense ads. Hope to get some income. It involved adsense to get the income.(Gave up online marketing after 3 years of losing most my cash saving promoting affiliates program). Still believe in the dream of making it online one day and to support my family. However time and tide wait for no man, every penny are running dry.
Does any one known of any successful case earning stable income online using adsense. I only heard of $2 to $3 dollars per day, which I think will stuff all my children, if I were to earn this kind of income.
Please provide ways I can promote my "Work as a Freelancer website" for free. And also please explore my website and give me some support. Many many Thanks.

Welcome wah dad
You are doing the ight thing by coming to the wah forum and having a link in your sig. 
You will get some traffic that way. There are also other wah forums, by the way, that you can go to. However, don't spam the forums! Be willing to help out where you can and participate in discussions.
With wah stuff it is really hard to write articles, blogs etc that will get you enough traffic to make it with adsense, etc... forums are the best in my opinion.
Welcome by the way to my very favoritest forum on the net..

Hi ahgow,
You CAN earn money from Adsense, but you need a LOT of traffic to make it worthwhile. I make several hundred dollars a month from Adsense, so I know it is worthwhile.
Different site topics (and page topics) will earn you a different amount per click based on what the advertisers are willing to pay.
The main thing to understand about Adsense or affiliate marketing or any type of online venture, I presume, is that it takes time and numbers. The greater the traffic the more income you will generate. And the traffic needs to be targeted - people actively looking for what you are providing.
There are a few basic principles to keep in mind.
1. You need to know what you are doing.
2. You need to put in a lot of effort.
3. You need to be patient and wait for the results.
4. You need to do more of the same.
Unfortunately, there are an abundance of sites and sales pages that make it sound like you can throw up a few mini websites and start raking in the cash. It doesn't work that way.
I have sincere sympathy for your financial/job situation. I have family members in the same boat. As much as I LOVE what I do online and am so grateful for the small measure of success I've achieved so far, it's not a quick solution to financial crisis.
Keep trying to find some offline work and use your "spare" time to work at building up an online income.
I can only imagine what you were doing over a 3 year period promoting affiliate products that would have caused you to LOSE money. I suspect you were using PPC or something.
Imagine if during that same 3 years you had gradually built up a niche website around a topic that you know or enjoy - a hobby, a sport, a special interest, a skill you have, etc.
By now you would have a website business with hundreds of pages, each page targeting a specific phrase that people are searching for relating to your niche topic. You would be getting hundreds, probably thousands of visitors to your site every single day.
Those visitors would be clicking on Google Adsense ads (money in your pocket), purchasing through your affiliate links (money in your pocket), and maybe even buying an ebook or two that you've made available (money in your pocket).
Hindsight is 20/20 as they say, but since you can't change the past, you can think about doing something like that starting today for the future.
It's slow and steady going, but if you can find something offline to tide you over, it will pay you well for your time in the long run.
Wishing you all the best.
Blessings,
Angie

Hi Angie,
Yes, I put thousands $$ in PPC all my saving empty as high as 3k to 4k per/mth sometimes. Come up to 5 fig. But still,
Thanks for your advise, nice to hear that you are making money from adsense. I needed real confirmation of people making some money out of adsense. It give me confidence to go on believing that dream of eran income online one day.

ahgow,
I suspected as much. Those that promote using PPC as a way of making some money online easily, really don't always explain how difficult it can be to stay in the profit with that method.
Using Adwords for advertising takes definite skill. Otherwise it's a real good way to lose money fast.
I haven't even attempted Adwords yet! Go ahead, call me chicken. I suppose I am a bit of a chicken when it comes to risking money. I've never had a lot of excess cash, so I value every penny a little more than I should perhaps.
At any rate, I have never spent any money in advertising my sites. I haven't even purchased links in paid directories. Now THAT'S just me being cheap!
Fortunately, I learned that if you build a website correctly, it isn't necessary to pay for extras like advertising and links. Sure, I could probably increase my traffic and income quicker if I parted with a bit more of my earnings, but I'm still hesitant to do so. I've heard of too many people like yourself who have had bad PPC experiences.
I'm glad if I can encourage you to have the confidence to give site building a try. SBI helps you learn to do it right the very first time and has all the tools you need integrated together already so you cut out a lot of the confusion and learning curve.
Blessings,
Angie
