Unemployed Lawyer Loses His Unemployment Because Of Adsense Earnings!

Well this is certainly surprising news!

It seems that a lawyer who was unemployed is losing his unemployment benefits because of money he earned using Google's Adsense program on his blog! According to an online article, the lawyer was making $1 a day using the Adsense program and the state of New York where the lawyer resides considers that money as earned income. However since this seems to be a relatively new kind of issue, New York has yet to decide whether or not the Adsense money should be considered as income or as residual money.

Here is a link to the online article:

Unemployed Blogger Loses Unemployment Benefits Because Of Earning Money From Google's Adsense Program

"Can You Honestly Make Money With Your Blog?"

of course this question has been asked a lot

and here is my reply:

Honestly you can make money with your blog! What a lot of people do
is to use Google's Adsense program - where you put ads on your site
and when (legitimate) visitors to your blog click on those ads you
then earn money!

Here are some facts though

You have to earn at least $100 minimum during the month before Adsense
will issue you a payment the next month. You can get paid either by
regular check or by bank transfer. In some areas outside the US you
can also get paid via Western Union!

And yes there have been some Adsense Millionaires!

You can go to my Adsense Consultant Blog and click on the link to (one of my most popular posts!) see just how much some people have been making with the Adsense program!

Of course there are other ways as well.....

There are other "affiliate" sites out there where you can earn money
by placing ads on your site but be sure to check out the "fine" print
because not all of them are worth it!

There is also a site called "Pay Per Post" where you earn money
posting reviews about other products, etc.......

You can even make money from your blog if it is very popular. For
instance Perez Hilton started a celebrity gossip blog and he now
charges $6k a week for advertising! Plus he got his own TV show out
of it!

So it is quite possible to make / earn money with one's blog.

How Much Have Some People Made With Adsense?

One of my most popular blog posts was the one where I provided a link to a list of Adsense Earnings and how much money they have made using adsense

It tickles me to think that I could actually be included in that list - although I would be in the bottom half of the list I would be the exact last person on the list! That means that I have actually made more money using Adsense then some that appear on the list. I can't tell you how proud that makes me feel.

Beside the fact that I am an Adsense Consultant, the fact that I am actually making money online using the Adsense program just helps my professional title as well.

You can't be an Adsense Consultant and not be making money with Adsense - although I'm sure that there are those who do call themselves adsense consultants but haven't earned a thing from adsense.
