A small update

I have been a bit busy lately due to the bumper amount of daily recurring clicks on the cashback sites. This means I have not been able to develop those money making programs outside of my "regulars"!

I do a number of cashback and survey sites. Dooyoo is also a good earner for me. It's easy to scrape £20 a month off Ebay, and Google adsense is one of my few passive earners. I have referred a few people on Mylot so hopefully they will become big users there! So, I have a number of ways of making £9 a month and 30p per day.

It's difficult to develop other ways of making money beause of time contraints, and I lose interest a little if I do not get an immiediate return. But, a money making idea or program should probably be tested over a few months!

March earnings

Another month - March - has gone already. I have earnt a similar amount to February.

I still have around 25 money making ideas so far! I've added a few more.

I easily achieved my target with the cashback sites. I have eleven on my list, and made over £100 combined on them, meaning that on average I earnt 30p + every day on each one.

I've had a go on Mylot, and earnt about £3 in March.

Again, I earnt about $13 on Google adsense: still near my unambitious target of 30p a day.

Ebay was a good earner and is easily above the £9 a month target.

As for last month, If I take my month's earnings and divide them by 25, then I have earnt around £9 for each one, which is on target! I now need to find more ways of earning £9 a month!

As other people may have found, I have found a few favourites that seem to work and are easy to use. I have dabbled with a few others and found them difficult to use, or have not had the time - or found them to be useless! Because of time constraints and because of "routines and habits" I am concentrating on a few programmes. So, I must try to give a few more programmes more time, and continue to add more schemes to my list. Some passive income money makers would be great......!!

Thinking ahead.....

A few years ago, I made a selection of ecological cleaning products, candles, breads and Christmas wreaths and sold them at a Christmas craft fair. I made a little bit of profit, but naturally came to the conclusion that I would have to invest a little bit of money in bulk purchases of the things needed to make my products to ensure I made a worthwhile profit. Like many money making ideas, I got bored with that and moved onto the next one. I thought of reviving this money making idea the last two Christmases, but did not because it was late Novemeber when I thought of making some stuff to sell, and I only had a few weeks to make things.

What I should do this year is start to plan for the Xmas craft fair season NOW, and then I can go along to the craft fairs (along with some snacks and and a flask of tea of course) and make some money. I did notice more people selling Xmas wreaths this year. Ecological products are more popular now, and maybe as a result real wreaths and decorations are more popular. Is does make me laugh when people buy small branches of holly: but I actually saw people buying them....

I like the television programme Lost, and read a few websites and forums devoted to the programme. One of the websites I read - a blog (with a domain name, not a free blog) - was sold by the owner last year. One day he had a message on his site saying that the blog was for sale for about $4000, and a few weeks later someone bought it and continued the blog. I thought I could start a website or a blog and sell it. There are probably too many Lost websites now, so I probably couldn't make lots of money building a website/blog now (or could I? Please comment!).

Maybe the trick is to find upcoming actors and actresses whose career may take off in a few years. Or find the next big TV show - look at websites like Aint It Cool News to see what shows in production are tipped to be the next big thing. Then build up a blog or website which is one of the most respected visited in that field and sell the domain name content and advertising potential to someone else.

These are two ways of thinking ahead....

Google Adsense

Most people have heard of Google Adsense by now. You simply cut and paste their ad code, incorporate into your site and make money every time a visitor to your website clicks on one of the ads. You can see an example on this blog.

The trick is to incorporate the Adsense ads into your site, so they are not "obvious" ads. Don't click on them yourself or you will be banned. If you are not that familiar with Google Ads, look out for them next time you are browsing websites; you can also pick up tips on where to place the ads on your page by seeing where other people have placed theirs.

I have adsense on another film-related website I have, and earn around £5 per month. Hopefully with this blog and a few other sites, I can get this up to £9 a month

Welcome

Welcome to my new blog!



Like many people, I would like to make some (easy!) money off the internet. Some people would like to make a fortune; others simply want to make a few hundred pounds (or dollars) a month as a small bonus.

To be honest, I fall into the latter category. If I manage to find a way of making £50,000 a month off the internet then I will pleased. But like many people, £500 a month would be a nice bonus.

Like others who have scoured the internet looking for ways to make some extra money I have found the familar ways of making money: Ebay, Adsense, Cashback sites, and all the other affiliate schemes. Like many others, I have received money - but not a lot. Many of these schemes earn between £1 and £50 per month.

What I want to do is find eighty ways of making the rather miniscule amount of 30p every day. If I could do this, then I could make £720 a month (30 days), which means that each scheme would have to make £9 a month. That should be achievable, shouldn't it?

What I plan to do is find eighty ways of making money, list them, and see how much each one makes a month. Some may make more than £9 a month. Some may make less. Can I make £720 a month? I will include some easy ways I find making money in real life too, although the fun part is finding ways to make a little extra money from the comfort of my own home.

Hopefully I will make lots of cash and retire to the Swiss Alps? Or hopefully just be able to make an extra £700 a month!

I hope you will read my blog and find out.....
