OK first day of a new month, my sister is so excited as the new series of 'Lost' has just started, which is exactly how I feel after watching an episode...Lost!
On the job front as I said in my last post I have an interview in London on Wednesday. I booked to go down and back up by coach as its the cheapest way to do it. The days of hoping on and off planes are behind me at the moment, so a 10 hour journey each way with an interview in between awaits me. But feel lucky at this point to actually have an interview.
On the 'make money online' front, I took my first tentative steps at the beginning of January by creating this blog. I added some ads to it and have earned $7.23 so far.
Not much you say!, progress I say. It has proven to me that even an Internet caveman like myself can actually generate money online. The next step is obviously to increase on that. I have already mentioned in earlier posts how I will attempt to get more traffic to this blog.
$7.23 is not a lot of money but as I have not and don't intend to use any of my own money on this project (I don't have any) it is now my capital.
So how do I reinvest it?
It could pay for an ad in a newspaper?
I could wait until I have $10 for a domain name and build my own website? (I do not know how to build a website but, like creating a blog or adding AdSense I found the answers on the web).
When my capital reaches $30 - $50 then I could invest in a 'get paid for online surveys' database?
Online Casino's? I keep finding 'winning systems'
Affiliate Marketing? (I don't fully understand this either, but will)
All of these ideas are ideas I have found 'surfing the web'. There are no doubt many cons or 'too good to be trues', which maybe are true. Who knows, but this year (I am keeping this blog for 1 year) I intend to find out.
So from a standing start of not knowing anything about blogs/hits/click/ads..etc, with no money, I am now up and running.
On a personal front, really missing Liz and the kids, Mac can now say 'i love you' over the phone, which is a killer. But we are in tough times now and I am sure there are people a lot worse off than me. If you or yours are affected by this worldwide recession then good luck and remember 'Necessity is the mother of Invention'

Hey you are doing well $7 is a great start - I would consider getting a 'dot.com' domain from GoDaddy - they are the cheapest I have found - it is really easy to redirect to a blogspot. (I have three .coms currently pointing at blogspot blogs)
ReplyDeleteI found you on Zimbio when you put this post in a wikizine of mine. I have followed a similar path to you but started about two years ago (when I was the same age you are now funnily enough). I may be able to offer you some shortcuts, but you could also take a look at one of my blogs (munny4hunny.com) which charts much of what I have done over the last two years. Feel free to get in touch...
