Busy, Busy, Busy

I've been pretty very much insanely busy these days. I've read a really cool blueprint for earning a few bucks from making smaller informational niche websites and using adsense. It's not that I have learned anything new but it's all really nicely organized and laid out. A plan that is easy to follow. And what's even more cool is that reading a report like that gave me an immense motivational boost. A boost to get of my ass and start working on my websites again.

I have added a bunch of new content to some of my sites, I've upgraded a few of them with newer scripts and added facebook like button... by the way, I think the like button is pretty cool and can in fact bring you quite a few visitors. It's the most real social interaction that can not be faked. Then I have collected all... I mean all the RSS feed from my sites, support sites, squidoo lenses, hubpages etc... and started adding them to RSS directories.

This is something that I haven't been doing so far. I also purchased a directory submitter and as soon as I am finished with RSS directories I'll start adding sites to directories. When I'm done and my old sites get a small boost from all this I'll focus on new websites...

Well..nothing new here, just an update to add some fresh content to this blog of mine.

Till next time.

Oh, if you have any questions regarding this, you are welcomed to ask them...

AdSense: Samo more AdSense rabmlings

It's been to long since my last post. I've been busy. Busy doing other things. Other things being things that are not connected to Nokia phones (except using mine), AdSense earnings, building links, dissing Joomla templates, posting on blogs, trying out recipes (but still ate lots of great food during the holidays) ... etc, you get it.

But the greatest thing about making money online is - passive income.

Correct that - it can be passive income.

If you have a business model that requires you to write a blog post every day then this is work. If you have sites that sit No.1 in Google and collect clicks from visitors then you don't have to do a damn thing. Then you have passive income.

Not only did I not move even my pinky (I'm lying, I did make one new website, but it's still in the workshop not bringing any money, but I didn't touch my old sites) but my adsense earning blasted all over the place during the holidays.

I even got to the point when I had to start working again - making sure that my host wouldn't cancel my site because of the traffic overload. Some emails to support, a wordpress super cache plugin and a few nerves later things got back to normal. And I can gladly report that my new daily AdSense record is between 140 and 150$ (can't really remember, being lazy :)).

Things turned back sour after the holidays but it got my heart pumping seeing some high numbers in my adsense account. It's a great morale boost and the reason I am working on another site these days.

So what's the point? There is none... well... or maybe this - if you want to have passive income then give some thought to the type of sites you will be building. Sites that constantly need to be updated? Running campaigns that need your everyday attention? Sites the will be obsolete in a year? Etc... this are all examples of sites that I do not see as bearers of passive income. Be lazy and pick the right one.

My Average Daily AdSense Income was 42$ in July

I haven't posted anything in a while. Blogging kind of gets old. You loose motivation from time to time. Especially if you have more than one site to run. It's not that fun anymore, I mean...when I start writing then it suddenly become fun once again but the thought of it - like "I should probably write another post for my Mashed up blog..." feels like work. Anyway, this blog is doing kind of OK. It gets from 20- 30 visitors a day which is cool for no promotion at all. And the visitors come from search engines looking for keywords I tried to include in my posts. Which seems to be working. Now what about that Adnense income, my AdSense earnings?

AdSense is not present on this blog but on a few of my other sites. Sites that don't need any fresh content... luckily lol. It has grown for about 10$ in the last couple of months, before it was around 30$ a day and now it is around 40$.

Is this a lot? It can seem a lot when you are just starting out. Those first cents, first clicks... you feel like you are miles away from your first check. At that time 40$/day would seem like icecream in these hot days.

But when I got here I started to wonder how much income a day would be enough? Enough to quit my day job, pay all the taxes and continue my lifestyle (which is not that expensive ). What do you think?

I know that I could soon probably double or tripple that income if I took in this online money earning thingy full time. In the last half of the year... hell, I think it was even longer I haven't done much more than wrote 2 or 3 blogposts. No new sites, no new links, no work at all.

Thanks to the nature of this bussiness AdSense is passive income. It comes even if you are a lazy SOB that doesn't lift is finger. That is once you start the ball rolling.

What is the purpose of this rant...

Hmm... anyway - what do you think, how high should your average daily internet money income be to quit your job?

How much money do I make online?

Money time. I'm not some big shot, internet mogul, a list blogger, big money mofo and this is just a support blog that is kind of close to me because I just ramble about anything and everything...which is not the best thing for a support blog. You want it to be focused on the topic of the website you are trying to support. What...well... anyway...

...still I decided that I will post my highes one day income shot from AdSense, which is 67$. I crossed 60$ a couple more times, but these days I generally earn somewhere around 40$/day. Which is great I think, but nothing to rave about in the general picture of making money in the internet.

Here's the shot:


I hope this turns out OK, I'm still not quite comfortable with this Blogger image system...probably because I don't use it very much.

Till next time.

Ohhh. you are welcomed to tell me what you think :))
