A small update...

So my ehow articles are not preforming up to thier past abilities, whic is kind of sad, but I did manage to add a few more articles to try and jump start it.

I did manage to FINALY see some results from my amazon affiliate account, I made a new site and got 7 items ordered in the last week in about an hour work I put in another hour today, so I really hope that it can boost my earnings.

Here is what the site looks like.. http://blu-raynews.blogspot.com/

Growing my Passive Income

I now have 50 Articles up on ehow. I am averaging $2.60 a day, and have ramped up my efforts in promoting my articles.

I am going to give my Amazon Affiliates account a major push here in the next two weeks, and if I can not generate any income (and I mean any) I will be giving up on it completely.

A few status updates...

Hey everyone first off, I would like to say that I actually out a little bit of quality work into my revenue streams today. First, I wrote three new ehow articles. I also used these to reccomend products (video game system cables) using referal links in my amazon affiliate program. The cool thing about this, is EVERYthing they purchase through this link I will recive a small precentage of. So if they pick up a $10 cable I make a few cents, but what if they add a game that they wanted to their checkout cart? The possibilites are endless and I hope this generates something.

Speaking of amazon, I logged on for the first time in a while an noticed that I am up to almost $5 in earnings, by doing absolutly nothing. That reminds me that I need to work more on getting my links out there. I am no where near a payout, but this shows a possible true passive stream of income.

How much is my site worth update - I added a cool link to the left of my home page just for fun (scroll down to read full entry on it) and saw an update button on thier site so I decided to hit it and BAM! my page worth is now up too $277.40!

Check it out!

Totals for July 2008

Just a quick update for the end of July

ehow.... $49.58 - Not really dissapointed in the result of the money, but dissapointed with the level of effort I put in. My August goal is going to be $75.

ebay - $330 in profit. This pretty much all come from stuff (collectables) that I have laying around doing nothing that I have no intrest in anymore. I have a big deal that should be going through in the next day or so ($475) and will set my goal for next month at $750

HSBC Online Savings - $2.79 Paid. There is only two ways to get this number higher. 1) Do not withdraw anymoney from this account (shouldnt be an issue) and 2) add more into it. There is already 200 more than my average daily balance than last month with $100 more going in mid month, maybe more if I can scrape some more ebay auctions through!

Amazon Affiliate, adsense, stubhub affiliate - Goose egg on them all. I will try and build a dedicated Blu-ray Blog again when I get my Blu-ray player fixed, but thats going to take about $150 I dont have to put towards that at the moment.

And the side tally has been updated.

Thursday, July 24, 2008

Yesterday was brutal...

The lowest earnings in over two months. Just under a buck. Thats weak stuff. I guess I am going to put some extra time into yeahoo answers and ehow today, just to get my traffic up.

Sunday, July 20, 2008

Updated totals for July 2008

I am up to $31.50 on Ehow this month, not on pace with what I did last month but good for the little effort I have put into it (maybe 2 hours total MTD). I have updated the totals to the left once again.

CashCrate....

Well everyone, one of my criteria for deciding what to try online is there has to be no use of up front capital in doing so. I had heard a lot of mixed things about the cashcrate site, and it requires a credit card. If there is no risk, they shouldnt need a credit card. You can tell that I really do not approve of this place just due to the lack of link in it, lol.

If anyone has had a different experience, please let us know in the comments. And, because this is a discussion and not a link whoring event, referal links will be deleted.

Beating Expectations...

I pretty much did all of the things I was aiming for tonight, minus the ebay listings as of this postings, but they will be there tonight. Here are the articles (because they mostly pretain to making money) I put up.

List atleast 2 ebay auctions
Subbmitt some of my articles to Digg.
Answer 5 yahoo answers questions for ehow traffic... (someone remind me to blog about how well that works.

May 29th, 2008 Results

A few new ehow milestones today. I have crossed the 10,000 article view mark! Wooohooo! One thing I have learned, is views = money on that site. I am up to around 350 article views per day and earning around $2.00 a day.

The days actual amount I earned was $2.70, which was just a dime off of my all time single day earnings.

I did get one item up on ebay as well, similar bundles hae been going to for around $50. I hope I sell it to about double my online earnings.

Thursday, May 29, 2008

May 28th, 2008 Results

Adsense came out to play with $.50, and ehow kept chugging along with a daily earning of $1.48.

I also got a chance to get some more articles up, and did not get to put anything on ebay, but did manage to start taking pictures and getting them listed on a forum to try and sell them without ebay fees.

As usual, the sidebar has been updated.

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

May 27th, 2008 Results

So I pulled in $1.43 from ehow today, and secured a deal to sell something else on ebay that most likely wont get to my paypal account until tomorrow.

My goal is to list 10 ebay auctions today, lets see if I can do it!

Totals to the left updated again.

May 26th, 2008 Results

As usual, the only thing I have made money with today was my eHow articles. They have brought in $2.10, and that puts me over $20,00 for the first time in a month ever! Thats pretty exciting.

I have the next two days off from my "real" job, and plan on writing about 10 new articles and put an entire closet worth of stuff on ebay over the next two days.

The side progress bars have been updated.

Sunday, May 25, 2008

May 23rd, 2008 Results

Sold another ebay item at a net profit at $5.40 (same thing as last time) and another great day on ehow at $2.37.

The whole idea of passive income is really starting to show, because I have put zero effort into my ehow articles or promoting them over the last 3 days but have made over $2.00 on each day.

My side tally bars have been updated.

Three Days In A Row!

Ehow articles pulled in $1.01 today, which is the third day that I have earned over a dollar on ehow!

I am also adding a running total to the left side of the blog, so everyone can know where I stand at a glance.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Maybe, the hard work is starting to pay off

For the seconed day in a row, my ehow articles netted me over a dollar! One dollar and five cents to be exact.

I just got home from my real job, will take a nap and plan out the next two days (my days off) assault on my other blogs, ehow and digg.

No other earnings to report today, but my grand total made on the internet so far (sence this blogs start) is $17.31. I will not spend ANY of it until I hit that big mark. Its all going into an online (hence internet millionair) savings account which currently yeilds 3.5% APR.

I am going to be seeling some things I specifically aquired to put on ebay tomorrow, should that count towards my internet total made? Maybe just the profit?

The First Ever, $1 eHow day

http://www.ehow.com/how_2284227_money-online-capital.html

That Article helped me earn about $1.05 yesterday, the biggest single day ehow pull. And to top that off, it came right after a sixty cent ehow day.

I hope this is a sign of thing too come, as tow big (for me) days in a row and 4 consucutive days of growth. I didnt do ANY promoting today, so we will see how mondays earnings were tomorrow.

First Adsense Earnings Are Here!

Pulled in a HUGE sixty-five cents today! Most people would think why in the hell are you blogging about $.65? Well really there are 2 reasons.

1) It took forever to get adsense up and running.
2) If I average that (which I hope it will increase) thats over $200 a year!

Thursday, May 15, 2008

Finally!

My Google adsense is up and running, so we will see how this goes. I will be adding a few more blogs in the comming days....

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Google Adsense...

I currently only have this blog, but will be adding a few more to my routine in a the next few days. I had to have my old Adsense account closed and open a new one, which took about a week. So I will now be following all of these things on this blog...

Google Adsense Earnings
Amazon Affiliate Earnings
Ehow Article earnings
MyPoints Rewards

Monday, May 12, 2008

Quick Sunday Update...

I do not think that the eHow counts updated today, so maybe my earnings will carry over to tomorrow.

I also started to use the Digg site, I have been averaging 100 article views per day across all of my articles, and will keep everyone posted on how this is going so far.

Saturday, May 10, 2008

And the Work Pays Off

Kind of. The massive eHow run yesterday yeilded $.54! Thats a decent amount for one day (hey thats almost $200 a year). I am hoping to be in the $5.00 a day bracket in the next month or two, and that would put me at around $2000 a year.

No Just to get my old Adsense up and running to be able to blog about blog earnings.

Friday, May 9, 2008

A little work today...

.... Will hopefully payoff tomorrow. I had a day off and used it to compile 5 new eHow articals(http://astore.amazon.com/ehowbluraydeals-20 ). I also got around to building an Amazon Affiliates store just for blu-ray movies, and have spent a little time promoting it. Results will be posted tomorrow.

April Totals

On My Ehow website I racked in an April Total of $4.98 on 16 articales! Added to my previous sum of $1.51, it look like May might be the first payoff month.

My Amazon Affiliate Site did no revenue in the month of april, which is dissapointing because I did have a few very inexpensive cables shipped out.

Total made on the internet to date, $11.42.


Now to get the adsense working once again.

Ehow: A way to write for passive income

With eHow you can earn an exponential amount of money for just writing simple “how to” articles. I set up my account a couple of weekends to see how far I could get, and with only writing 12 articles I have been able to rack up a whopping $1.18! Yeah its not a lot of money by any means, but I would be really easy to write 100 articles and multiply that out, and that’s a stream of about $120 a year! There more you write the better off you are.

What’s required:
- Paypal Account
- Only open to US Citizens
- Some Spare Time to Write

The Waiting Game....

I will cover a lot of different methods of cash flow from the internet (ALL Legal and Legitament), and the first thing you must know, is there is a lot of waitng. The first thing I am waiting for, Is my Google Adsense Account to be Approved (1-2 Days). I will let you know how that goes. What is Google Adsense? Well, Thats Going to be covered in the next post!

Where did this whole blog idea come from?

Well, I have tried about every (legitimate) money making scheme/system/blog/you name it to try and make money on the internet. This is where I will keep all accounts of my time spent, money earned and how I did it so everyone else with a little will power can read and try and apply my successes and failures (I mean how many times do you read the way to do something, but no one tells you what NOT to do..).

Sit back and enjoys, As I have about 3 years of experiance to put out there for you guys.
