It’s only 12 days in,but November is already shaping up to be my best ever month for online income.

While I may not be in the same league as Yaro, or Burt, I’m happy for every penny I get. After all, money for little/no work is not something to be sniffed at!

So why is this the best ever month? Because for the first time ever I’ve broken (or will break) the $100 barrier. Earnings over the last couple of months have taken a bit of an upturn compared to previous. The main reason for this is a steady uptake of links sold on TLA. While I’ve yet to sell any links through their feedvertising system, I have sold out my allocation of links a few times in the last couple of months. Two more links and I’ll be sold out again!

The other big earner I’ve got this month, is the money I earned for my Review Me review. While I don’t anticipate a flurry of paid-for reviews, it would be nice to receive one, maybe two a month.

Advertising revenue (read: Adsense) has always been pretty low for this site and has never contributed much. Going on last months figures, I’ll maybe get $5 if I’m lucky. I could no doubt spend time optimising Ad placement to improve click-throughs, but to be honest, I’m not that fussed.

So currently the income pie is divided up 65% from TLA, 30% from Review Me, and 5% from Adsense. That’s obviously not including anything else that might come up in the last 2 weeks of this month. These figures also doesn’t include the several hundred dollars I’m going to earn doing freelance web development this month.

Looking Forward.

Obviously I’d like to earn more money. Who wouldn’t? Up until now, however, I’ve been rather passive about the whole thing, and more than a little haphazard/slap-dash in how I approach things. More than once I’ve started something, only to forget about it or move on to the next idea before I’ve finished. It’s a definite character flaw which I’m trying to overcome.

There are a couple of project in the pipeline which are looking promising. The first of these is my first foray into “providing the shovels for the prospectors” - it’s a simple website builder for Article Underground users, called Metro. While it’s aimed at Article Underground users, it will have other applications and would be a good investment for anyone who wants to make a quick and very simple website. It’s a little while off until it’s ready, but it will be the first of hopefully a number of products designed to make the life of the Internet Entrepreneur that little bit easier! I’m targeting a mid-January/February release, but I’m trying my hardest to get it released earlier than that!
