> Do you make $3-6K from writing to other blogs or from your blogs? My own blogs. > Compete tell me that you aren't far from my little Qr Code generator (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/math-blog.com+programmingze... http://siteanalytics.compete.com/math-blog.com+programmingze...) that doesn't generate even $50/month. Compete statistics for my sites appears to be completely off. And I don't mean off by a factor of x. Randomly off, even when comparing my own sites to each others. That said, having a good amount of traffic definitely helps, but it's only one part of the equation. Monetizing that traffic is an art in itself. > think $6K, coupled with some freelancing in the side can make the cut in Toronto, no? OK, technically I guess I could live off that extra income even in Toronto, but the high cost of living would definitely grant me a lifestyle that pales in comparison to cheaper places, particularly overseas. Of course, one could argue that dedicating myself full time to this I could probably double or more my revenue. But it's not something I'm pursuing at this moment, as I love my job.

Even if it's off by some margin, I don't think you have enough traffic to score $6K from ads like Adsense. I'm definitively interested to know how you do it. I already took the survey, but I think you should register people who are looking to know more about the book and not only affiliate marketers. > But it's not something I'm pursuing at this moment, as I love my job. That's totally another thing!

Not by a long shot. > I already took the survey, but I think you should register people who are looking to know more about the book and not only affiliate marketers. I agree with you. When I designed the survey I was mostly checking out if there was any interest in the book. Now that I know I'll go through with the plan of writing the book, I'll create a dedicated landing page and mailing list for people interested in it, even before the book is ready.
