Default Still not making much money from site

So far I’ve made a whopping $12 from Adsense.

I don’t want to make money a primary concern of my site, as I still want to focus on writing valuable content, but I’m practically broke.

And I’m getting pressure from my parents, who want me to get a job, but getting one means it will seriously cut back the time I spend on my business. I’ve spent over 10 hours a day, 7 days a week on it for the past 6 months or so, thinking of new things to write, promoting the site, etc. Not to mention I had (have) a full college schedule (in the fall).

I’ve told them it takes time to build a site from scratch and generate income from it. But they seem to think I’m making poor life decisions and think my time would be better spent at getting an entry-level job, and I’m going nowhere in life.

I also realize that I may be biased towards myself (I think we all are), and an outside opinion would help me have a better perspective on things.

Sorry if I’m ranting here
I was just wondering how to generate more income from a website besides adsense? (Or if I could somehow convince them it will make money in the future?) And I’m more than willing to work harder at achieving it
