I could probably double or triple the forum Adsense income by inserting more ads, but I don't want to do that. I see this as more of a community service than an income source, and I want to keep the usability very high, so people can easily get the advice they need. |
So you make $100,000 a year from blogging and make about $12,000 per year from the forum. So you make $88,000 per year from your blog.
You've said you don't and won't have to prove to anyone how much money you make online and then
now have a video claiming $100,000 (six figure a year from blogging) so you claim privacy and then claim a dollar figure on you revenue generation.
I consider that you've stumbled upon an active readership/audience and of course wish to milk it,
which understandably is acceptable, but I dislike your unappreciation for your captive audience via this forum.
Gee Steve why don't you milk us some more and place 10X the ads on this forum to increase your revenue.
You my friend are slowly becoming everything that people look away from to find answers............the same lazy guruship.
I don't intentionally wish to criticise you, but unless one is new to PD your road is tried, tired and unconvincing, but of course if your revenue is solid and on the up , then who cares right??
