Overdue Update
Wow! It's been 2 months since my last post to this blog!
Certainly NOT the right way to keep things healthy and fresh.... and even worse for a blog about how to generate more income online!
However, I've not been wasting away my time. Most of it has been spent actively applying several techniques I've been talking about to do exactly that... Generate More Income!
It's the beginning of a new month, and the first week of each month I have set aside to do financial "stuff", like pay bills, monitor income streams, etc. Along with that, I've decided to add "update this blog" so that it contains more stats gathered from the last month.
I DO plan on updating this blog more regularly than once a month, but during the first week is when I plan on having a special post directly related to new income stats for the last month.
And so... here they are:
1) Google Adsense -
I've been tweaking pages, adding ads to pages, working hard on other blogs and have increased my Adsense income by almost 90% over what it was the month before! Well, to be honest... the amount is still rather small, and so a 90% increase was not terribly hard to achieve, but, it IS still exciting to see it going up every month for the past 4 months. One thing I can't stress enough is that until you get started with Adsense, you're additional earnings will be $0! So, stop procrastinating and at least GET STARTED!
2) PayPal has a Money Market account which earned a measly 5.03% last month. Not a rate I can retire on, but I look it as one diversification which can easily pass money between my bank, Second Life, friends & family, etc. Rather than have something sitting in 0% checking, this is a nice place.
3) My stocks did pretty well this last month. The percentages for each account are: +21.69%, -0.43%, +9.96%. The first and last accounts are my personal picks, and not much I can do to help out there. The middle account is an auto-trade account I have set up with Turner Trends. It's totally hassle-free and usually does pretty good. We'll keep a watch out for it here, and something like that might be an easily solution for you too. I'm sure you'll feel better about it after you see a few months of good, positive growth.
4) My Second Life account holds the most promise currently. I have about $3,200 invested right now, after adding another $400 this month. The interest gains and "income earned from work" totalled almost $300 in new money. I'm also getting a friend started in cloth designing. I'm expecting to see that really help their income quite a bit as well, and when I have more data I'll report that as well. If you do not have a Second Life account yet, I'd recommend getting set up! (It's FREE) .... When you sign up, be sure to give "Ashling Babka" as your reference.. I'll be notified when you get in-world, and can help you get started in any number of different areas... including just giving you 6,000 new items to help fill up your beginning "inventory". And, I'll explain more about how to make money in this Virtual World in upcoming posts.
