Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?
Hey, does anyone remember how I set a goal of earning $500 online this year?
The reason I had picked such a seemingly low number was that I wasn’t sure that I could pull it off. I mean, I knew almost nothing at all about blogging for money, freelancing, or affiliate marketing when I started this blog. It really started out more as a fun project and then evolved into a money-making monster.
OK, maybe not a monster, but at least I’ve had some fun with it.
The third quarter of 2008 was the quarter in which I reached my goal.
I also figured out how to tap into the Digital Point forums to find little bits of cash here and there (mostly ranging from $1-$5 for completing offers and anywhere from $3.00 to $25.00 for freelance projects).
So, want to see the totals? I knew you would…
Third Quarter 2008 Earnings: $396.94
The Breakdown:
Adspace: $20.00
Paid Postings: $161.00
Freelance: $59.00
GPT Offers: $75.46
Affiliate Commission: $68.00
Miscellaneous: $13.48
Year to date earnings: $761.75
I’m a bit concerned about the fourth quarter of 2008, because my new job keeps me away from home most of the time, and I don’t have a decent laptop that I can take with me. I need to get one, but so far have had no luck. Most of the money I’ve made online has gone to help with necessities and things for the family.
I doubt it, but I think I’ll try to break $1000 this year. It’ll be a stretch, but a fun goal to try to reach.
