Earn With Google Interviews AdSense Expert Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios
EarnWithGoogle.com Interviews Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios
Gian L. - Hello BIG Mike, welcome to EarnWithGoogle.com.
I hope that my questions, and your answers, will be an interesting reading for the visitors of our site.
Big Mike - Hello Gian, thank you and it’s great to be here!
Question. - Let's start with the questions. Can you introduce yourself to the readers that don't already know you and your work related to AdSense?
Answer. - Well, I’m 44 years old, and I live in Greece, where I moved to from the US after I retired 5 years ago. My wife Anastasia and I own an EFL School, where we teach students English privately. We have 3 young children and a fourth on the way, due in August.
Before retiring, I was an Engineer, working on various projects throughout the US, primarily in the Bio-Medical Engineering field. I also hold degrees in Computer Science and Education, in addition to Engineering.
Believe it or not, I’m still enjoying my retirement and work at IM as a hobby to keep myself busy. My specialty has become Adsense, although I have a number of online businesses as well as investments in offline, local “Brick and Mortar” businesses, primarily retail.
Q. - I know that not everybody likes to publicly speak about the money he earns, but can you tell us approximately how much do you earn monthly from Google AdSense alone?
A. - More than a dollar!
Seriously, I’m always reluctant to discuss those numbers because they’re above average and I know that not everyone is going to be able to accomplish what I have - and so don’t want to give the wrong impression.
I will say that my best month was slightly more than $23K, while my worst month (my very first one) was approximately $6. On average, my earnings are fairly consistent, with minor, seasonal fluctuations, especially around major holidays, but a steady growth.
