Here is an inspiring AdSense success story for everyone. 28-year-old Markus Frind, the owner and sole employee of PlentyOfFish.com, a free online dating site and a model for the next generation of Web entrepreneurship is claiming that he is making $10,000 per day on AdSense and a total of $5-$10 million revenue per year.

In my opinion, Markus Frind is not an ordinary person. What is so remarkable of this story is that he single handedly started PlentyofFish.com (with a little help from his wife) and successful managing and running one of the largest dating sites on the internet. And the most important thing is that he is doing remarkably well, on the earnings of course. Recently he was featured on The Wall Street Journal.

Lots of people run Web sites by themselves. But it’s likely that no other solo venture runs at the scale of PlentyOfFish. For the week ended April 28, it was the 96th-busiest Web site in the U.S., according to the HitWise tracking service. That means it has more traffic than some of the Net’s best-known destinations, such as Apple.com.

When you have that kind of traffic, you can make money three ways: via Google’s small text ads, with bigger banner ads and through “affiliate marketing,” where other sites pay you for sending them customers. Mr. Frind does all three — and does very well. A few months back, he posted on his blog a picture of a check from Google for nearly $1 million for a two-month period. Google confirmed the check was for real.

Mr. Frind says the site brings in between $5 million and $10 million a year; lest even more competitors get onto his success, he declines to be more specific. That puts him ahead of some of the Web’s best: Last year, each Google employee generated an average $1 million in sales.

So are you inspired now?
