February 2009 Earnings – One Year On

One year has passed since I began my $100 a day challenge and what an adventure it has been. I profited heavily when I sold my tattoo network, became debt free and realised that I should stick to what I was good at. I dabbled in different markets, including domain leasing and joint ventures.

On occasions I had to cut my losses and make new aquisitions, whilst finding a new job and continuing my persuits despite my ill health. Sometimes you just have to go hard or go home.

So, how did I do?

Well, I’m not at $100 a day yet but you cannot put a price on the wealth of information I have accumulated over the past 12 months. I feel I have made some real improvements in my personal and business life, and slowly began to build a profitable business on strong foundations.

Whilst I still have a long way to go, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and know that I need to “stop chasing and start racing” – I need to put a hold on fly-by-night ideas and research my ideas before investing in them. I need to stop wishing I could be like others and start being like me, putting words in action and becoming the full time Internet Entrepreneur I want to be.

In an uncertain economy during uncertain times, it would also be wise for me to save a little and not put all my eggs in one basket.

I shall save the rest of the motivation speech for another time, here’s a breakdown of the results…

• Google Adsense – $294.46
• Private Advert – £50 = $75
• Text Link Ads – $21.53
• Media Jump – $6.49
• Adversal – $1.88
• Search Engine Optimisation Consultation – £250 = $356.87
• Domain Sales – £200 = $285
• Total: $1041.23
• There’s only 28 days in February, daily average: $37.18.
• Daily average from ad networkds only $14.26

Considering there was no website sales I am proud my, majority ppc, daily average is increasing. I’m happy with the results and I’m continuing to work hard in a bid to achieve my dream.

Good luck with your persuits,

Khalid.
