gblanchette··on Ask HN: Does anybody make good money from Google Adsense?
Me, 10$K/month. Because of AdSense revenue, I took many hours building a new website (online since last month) and hope that website it will eventually make some money. I really don't like having ads on website I visit but don't use AdBlocker (hide it behind other windows). I think WikWik.org is a great site (I'm the author) and for sure would not have exist without AdSense opportunity.

gblanchette··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
Hello from Quebec, I am on Hacker News, as a big reader not commenting. My online business, is profitable, it make all my income, an ok salary for me :-). I have read the book '4 hours week' and work only few hours a week. The business start with a shareware game (1990), quit my day job (2002) to create more sharewares, fail at the first one (the password/unlock was hack the first week). So I come with the idea of having a client/server game (2004) (harder to hack). That work enough to make a small salary. Then I build another client/server game (2011), almost the same as the first one but localized in 3 languages. Then I received a lawyer letter (2011) to close both of my online sites. I did make some modifications, after 2 years they leaves me alone... Being afraid of closing, I was looking for a plan B (2012), I works hard on web sites that have a lot of visitors to make money with AdWords, it works. Now half of the revenue come from the 2 online games, and the other half come from AdWords. The shareware, online games and web sites are all related to a very popular crossword game.
