Affiliate Marketing or Adsense?

Everybody wants to know.... "Which of the two earns more money?" There are tons of theories out there.. Some of which are backed by the proper research, and others that are based solely on speculation or short run-ins with affiliate marketing and/or pay per click advertising.

I've had my hand in both for quite some time now and can honestly tell you that what you put in is what you'll get out. I know it sounds cliche, but when it comes to earning money with affiliate marketing and adsense this phrase couldn't be any truer.

Think of the first time you encountered affiliate marketing (with an affiliate marketing mindset). I'm sure you thought (just like the rest of us) that you could put together a quick site, embed a few banners & links, and laugh your way to the bank!

Now, think back to when you were first introduced to pay per click advertising. Your thought process was probably very similar, if not the same.... "Great, I'll just place google adsense blocks throughout my site, promote it everywhere online, and be a millionaire by the weekend!"

That's the point where most people fall off. Right after that first week rolls by and you go check your earnings.. that's when reality sinks in: If you want to make money with affiliate marketing and/or pay per click advertising, you are going to have to spend a considerable amount of time writing, reading, and researching. No ands, ifs, or buts about it.

So when people ask me which one earns the most money, I simply tell them: Whichever one you work hardest at.

Take Care,
