Surviving on Advertising (Google adSense) Revenue
Advertising revenue through Google adSense is my primary business model. The revenue I earn is in proportion to the number of page views my sites get. As the number of page views increases so will the revenue. Unfortunately, you can’t survive on the advertising model because the earnings are not high on sites with a low number of page views. Unless your site achieves millions or billions or page views per month and costs little to run don’t expect to quit your job or earn thousands.
If I achieve say 1 billion page views a month, then advertisers will come pay me directly and I will earn some serious $$$$. I will not need to use Google adSense as my ad middleman any longer. However, with the current concept of anyInput, achieving 1 billion page views a month may unrealistic in the short term. Sites that get 1 billion page views a month quickly are sites that are interesting to the majority of people out there. Social sites where you can view profiles about people such as facebook, plentyoffish and etc. are interesting to people.
Advertising revenue should be my secondary business model since the earnings are low. In the short term, relying on advertising model will not produce a sustainable business and the advertising model will not allow me to survive in the short term. Therefore, my primary model is changing to the collection of a monthly subscription fee from small businesses interested in using the anyInput concept.
