So I'll be worrying much more about monetizing them in the new year. I get most of my traffic through PR efforts (since it's my expertise) like press releases, features, interviews, quality information, pitch letters, etc.

Lying cheating and stealing googleplex bloggers make 25-30 K a year lying to use about how much money they make online promoting all these *******s 20% free time **** scam ideas.

Thanks for all of the information everyone, and for the concerns.

I have yet to make any static income from any of my ventures. Previous to my half hearted, half wishing attempt to work for myself online, I scoured the internet looking for some kind of chance. (I just got out of the military, and lo and behold no one wants to give a job to a qualified experienced vet, due to 'lack of corporate experience' meh. )

I found a PTC site..put in the last of my credit card.
And im now making an average of 6k a month from that.. which is now fueling my drive to start my own services to try to and scrape a living online.

Yes, yes I do. I guess you can consider me a blogger of all trades. I don't make money off of AdSense (well, I do, but not much), but I work for a number of companies that all have an online presence.

I've been working at home now for the last 3 years and earn around $30,000 per year through affiliate marketing. My income comes from 18 web sites 14 blogs and 6 Squidoo lenses. Some of my better niches are travel related and collectible related.

You can read more about how I earn money online from this blog post and my online money makers page.

Wow, thats great. How many hits are you getting on average, per day, from Search Engines?

Right now I am making my living off my sites. Looking forward to many many many decades of doing it as well

I made $41,000 last year just with search engine optimization and web design services I provide. I will make at least double that this year.

there are many types of advertising online, but If you use all of them, you sucks!

try to use one by one, and track everything, so with that you will have a general idea of what works and what dont.! so for example, you can use adwords first, and next try with article marketing...

Also, try to be organized...

you can try,:
adwords
article marketing
blogging
forum marketing
link exchange
and many others.

Myself; Lots of work but not hard work. There are many at this forum that will give you good information. Depending on what you like to do and not so much what you have to do, continue your search and education. Investigate every venture before you invest anything! Power to the net worker

Certainly, Why else would I be here.
I just love my job! Happy Net Working,

new in this field, so no idea!

Hey guys,

As a business owner and an entrepreneur i started coming up with ideas on how to make money online. I have greatly succeded in most of my ventures. I started making money online when i was 18 and now im almost 21 and could not be living any more comfortable. Advice that i would pass down would be to never give up and always step up and over obstacles, never go around them or else you will get nowhere. Just my 2 cents.

Best Regards,

i'm a student and all of my student expenses, rent for the house and living in general are paid through my income of the internet ... it is www.fillmyforum.com i own and work for, if i am fealing up to the task and work as hard as i can i can make $40 per hour but it is pretty brain dead stuff to do that. i also own www.hotptc.com in some weeks it can make a very very large profit.

I use a combo of both free and paid. Surprisingly the free pays off better than the paid lately.

i don't really earn much money online other than through services that I offer. I'm not big into pushing Adsense or affiliate marketing, but hopefully that will be changing soon. Thank goodness for the Black Ink Project.

Thanks.

Both my husband and I have quit our day jobs because of the success of our online businesses. We went from makeing 13,000 as college students 2 years ago to making a 6 figure income last year.

It definitely takes effort, determination, and goal setting to reach your goals, but it's achievable. (one of our online businesses teaches others to profit online - in the sig link)

I just posted our success story in the success stories forum in here that gives a load more detail on how we went from broke young college couple to living our dreams inside a few years.

As for driving traffic we use both... i focus on hiring article writers and submitting to article sites and such to drive free traffic and my husband manages our adwords campaigns. We do a lot of site targeting. Although,
when we started our first online business we didnt have money for paid advertising and only focused on free methods until we could reinvest from our first few sales.

Oh, and we also use affiliate marketing both from our own sites and we're affiliates for other sites to bring in added income.


Best of luck.

I don't make a full-time living online, but decent xtra pocket money.

Would love to do it full-time in the future

I am trying to make a living online, I am with Cashblaster, and have multiple sign-ups, but if anyone is interested in being my referral I could use it as I have signed a contract for my Fiction novel that includes a $3,950 good faith deposit to ensure I will market my book as in book signings etc. After the first 5000 books are sold I wil get the money back but being as I was scammed for $6000 which I did not have I could use all the help I can get in my programs.

I came in origionally vis Project Payday so I know a lot about the world of Free-bee trading, and have 30-40 sites I need referrals on. if I could get them then I would not have a problem getting the money I need to both fund my book and support my family. I am disabled and have been an specialty Registered Nurse for 29 years, so I am tryinf to find another way to makea living. Iown my own site but I am still building it. I did a Squiddo Blogg on the Truths, and Lies of Home Business. But it had a glich last Pm and now all I can find is my profile, I contacted support but they said they aheva lot ahead of me before they get back to me, so I am waiting. i am setting up a site ion Toksee, but again it is a work in progress. i have a splash page for Broke to Blessed, and 27 affiliate sites set up with page swirl you can check them out, but I can not undestand why all my site that they directly take the stats on have in particular 1 is >3000 clicks but no sign ups. I am beginning to think ther is something very fishy there. you can check it out at:
