I'm Mark Warner and I'm the creator of Teachingideas.co.uk.
We offer thousands of free learning resources for teachers,
ranging from maths activities for children
to printable classroom posters.
I launched the site in 1998,
when I was training to be a teacher.
It's come a long way since then.
Teaching Ideas now gets an average of 25,000 unique visitors a day.
I decided to give Google AdSense a try in 2004,
and today it provides 90 per cent of my income from the site.
It's actually enabled me to reduce my teaching hours to work on it
and I can also spend more time with my family.
I use other Google products to continue expanding the site:
there's DoubleClick for Publishers,
which I use to manage any additional advertising
that people want to place
and I leave the rest to run through Google AdSense,
so it works out perfectly.
Teachers regularly get in touch to say
that they've used my lesson ideas and resources in their classrooms.
It's great to know that I'm helping them to save some of their planning time
and that children around the world are learning from the website too.
My long-term goal is to continue building the site,
making it bigger so more teachers
have access to even more resources.
