Ok, so the title of this section is a really cheesy cliché, but it’s the truth and
I didn’t know how else to say it. Three years ago I was working as a
computer programmer. The workdays were long, the workweek seemed
endless, and the drive to work took an hour and fifteen minutes one way.
Just the drive alone cost me two and a half hours of my day. I was stressed
out, underpaid and sick of the office politics.
So I started dabbling in building a website. I started off with a free host,
and I tried everything I could think of to make money with it, with little
success. Then I discovered AdSense. The same traffic that was earning me
about $30 a month with banners and affiliate programs was suddenly
earning me $300 a month with AdSense! I was sold, and started to read
everything I could about what made AdSense work and how to make it work
better.
Six months later I quit my day job. Now I had the time to focus and work
full time at my AdSense business. In less than three months I was making
five times as much from AdSense as I had been making as a computer
programmer–and if you know anything about computer programmers, their
pay ain’t at the bottom of the scale! That was two years ago.

These days I wake up between 9 and 10 a.m., when everybody else is at
work slaving away for “the man”. I read a little and take a leisurely hot bath
before going to Starbucks for a stiff grande mocha. Only then do I go back
home and get to work on my computer. My schedule is my own, and my life
is my own. Even if AdSense went away tomorrow, I would never go back to
the lifestyle I had before. I’ve learned so much about the way things can
and should be along the road to my success. This ebook will help you get
there too, without the learning curve I had.
