Are CPM incomes generally low?Anyone who wishes to earn basically through them?
I have applies ad serving programs to my site and hate to work for clicks and other stuff, maintaining my site is a pain itself... I wish to target traffic and get some income through the CPM ads, but haven't been able to do that lately.
Even when i got 10000 ad views on a day (thanks to social media networks) i got just $10 that too after installing full page ad pop ups...   any good program to make a bit of passive income?

How much work can you afford to put into this?

For cost per click or cost per impression to give you enough $$$ then you need thousands of pages; and if you use dirty SEO techniques (black hat) then you need to redo your work every week or so

I can make 1000's of good content pages... i don't mind working hard for it. I will try my best on quality too, I can write articles and am willing to market my articles for the good purpose. I don't want to get into dirty things...
I need consistent passive income... royalty income.
I wish that even if I don't work for a month or so... my site earns me bucks.
