I’d like to update you all with my successes in the Adsense field.

Although it’s not to the point that I may prefer, I am consistently making above $1 a day, and have been for several months now. Although there was a period of a week or two where I was able to consistently pull in over $7 a day, that didn’t last for too long. I can’t quite figure out what caused that - or how to get it back.

The odd thing is that my traffic has stayed steady, as well as my number of clicks. The only thing that has changed is that I have noticed that the cost per click has declined sharply. This seems to be a problem that many face. Although I plan to continue to use Adsense as a source of income, I definitely want to diversify, also.

Moving Up The Ladder

The other day, something hit me. I was pretty low on the ladder rung… producing content for other webmasters. Do you see what I mean? In order for them to be able to pay me, they have to be making a profit off of my services.
So, now, I get the brilliant idea that I’m going to do what my clients are doing - except I’ll produce my own content for my own website, and monetize it with adsense.

This Isn’t The Top of the Ladder
No, this is very far from the top. Because those people who buy adwords ad spots? They have to be making a profit too. But don’t worry, I’m moving up the ladder slowly. After I master adsense, I’ll dabble my hand in the affiliate market. But hmm, is affiliates the top of the ladder? No. The person paying those affiliates has to be making even more of a profit. That’s for far off in the future, though.

So, my advice right now is take advice. At first, I didn’t want to start a niche site. But now I’m glad I’ve moved away from trying to run “anything and everything” websites. And I’m sure I’ll have much more advice to impliment in the future. And all my readers - this blog is your view into my online earnings adventure. And maybe you can learn a bit on the way…
My average daily earnings right now from adsense is about $0.30 - but I just started not too long ago. We’ll see where I go from here

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Money isn’t important - it’s a means, not an end.
As you quest to earn money online, keep your priorities straight. Money shouldn’t be one of them.

The Needle In a Haystack?
My most recent job online, in addition to blogging and content production, is data entry. Most of those data entry job ads are total scams. However, I was able to come accross one that actually isn’t a scam - I had to invest $0.00 to get started, and I get paid just over $10 an hour. It’s not much, but seeing as how it’s fairly easy and I can do it whenever I want, wherever I want, it’s a good deal. Heck, I could do 10 minute spurts at 6 times during the day - that’s still $10.

Some Haystacks are Filled With Needles, Some have No Needles.
So, you want a data entry job now, right? I mean, with the way things are, any supplemental income on top of your current job is great. My best recommendation is to go Genuine Jobs or one of the many webmaster forums online and advertise your services. You’d be surprised how many offers you get - or at least, I was. I didn’t know just how big the market really was for data entry jobs!

Don’t Pay for Your Needle!
If you only remember one thing from this post - DON’T PAY A SINGLE CENT FOR YOUR JOBS! There may be some genuine jobs out there that do require investment, but about 99% of the true job offers require no investment. If it requires you to pay them for them to pay you, what’s the point? Can you see the lapse of logic there?

I’ll be sure and keep you all updated on how things are going.
