Last week I launched a poll asking our readers what was their main revenue source. Among the options to vote you had AdSense, affiliate marketing, selling one’s own products and so on. I was expecting that the results would be quite balanced, but that was not the case.
It turns out that over 45% of the readers who took the poll rely on Google AdSense as their main income source. Freelancing and consulting services appeared in a distant second position, with 17.8% of the votes.
Affiliate marketing appeared in the third position with 13.6%, and selling one’s own products in the fourth position with 9.3% of the votes. Another curious point was the small percentage of people using direct ad sales as a main income source, since this has been one of the most profitable methods I have used. Only 5.4% of the participants voted on it.
