PayPerPost on the Downhill Slide?
Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?
Alright, I get it. The economy sucks right now. But MY economy shouldn't suck quite so bad.
There are tons of companies that are going through the end of their fiscal life, and I really hope that PayPerPost is not one of those companies.
PayPerPost is a good company that does exactly what their name implies - they pay you to post things on your blog. Last year, I made a fair amount of change from doing posts from their network. But something has changed this year. Instead of lots of posts ranging from $5 to $10 each (based on my PR), there are tons more posts that are in the $0.50 to $2.00 range. What's with that?
I hope PayPerPost sticks around. I tend to worry when I see good networks do odd things. Maybe I can still make a bit with them. Although, my freelance business is doing quite a bit better than I did doing sponsored posts last year...

2008 Income Report
One year ago, I decided to give blogging for money a shot. I figured that it would be nice to have a little bit of spending money in my pocket, and I really didn't have much to lose in trying to make some money online. My first priority was to set a goal that I felt I could reach (or at least come close to). With that in mind, I decided to set a goal of earning $500 online this year. Fortunately, I was able to reach that goal in the third quarter of 2008. But you know what? I passed that goal up. Want to know how much I've made this year? I knew you did...
Let's start with a quick look at my quarterly earnings so far:
Q1 - $140.36
Q2 - $224.45
Q3 - $396.94
Q4 - $142.88
The fourth quarter showed a major drop in momentum due to my starting a new job that keeps me away from the internet for up to a week at a time. This sucks. Bad. However, as soon as I can stop spending on necessities and get a decent laptop, I should be back in business during the week.
Project: Sugarbuzz 2008 Earnings Total: $904.63
Not too bad for a $500 goal, eh? I'm hoping to do more than that this coming year. I'd like to break $1000 in 2009, but if I can at least match this, I will be happy.
Oh, I will be updating my 'Money Makers' page soon, to keep you posted on the methods I'm using to make money online. Who knows, perhaps we can help each other make lots of cash in 2009!
