Adsense can be used on new sites, as can something like ClickBank affiliate ads. On the site I'm currently using Adsense and Commission Junction. I'll be releasing a small information product on the new site both to garner attention and to earn some more direct revenue soon (probably next week -- it's a part of the marketing bootcamp series we're doing over at QueryFreeFreelancer.com, w/ those information products being our focus starting today). It's very unlikely that you're going to make a living income solely from adsense ads, especially on a new blog. It's possible, but you'll have to be in a niche that pays well for cpc ads and you'll have to have lots of traffic to increase overall click-throughs. I like to consider things like Adsense to be supplemental income -- they shouldn't be a primary focus for most sites. The only reason I'm even using them on this new blog is because I know the niche does very well with Adsense from experience and keywords / ad research. Living incomes are much more likely to come from private ad deals (which will come as you get more traffic, if you want them -- on AFW for example I won't accept them) or from selling your own products instead of promoting someone else's. It's all stuff we'll cover during the process. :) You don’t need a large amount of traffic to get ads. Adsense can be used on new sites, as can something like ClickBank affiliate ads.
