Goodbye 2008, Welcome 2009!

Another year is part of history. For some, 2008 has been very difficult with their portfolios, retirement funds and investments. A world-wide economic storm is upon us without any doubt now.

Since last year, I have decided to keep track of my online earnings and to make a yearly report of them. The only requirement to be of my yearly report is to be a free way to earn cash on the internet. I know that there are dozens of earning possibilities over the internet.

I do not cover it all that well this far but I always build forward and add new streams of income each and every six months or so.

A new stream of income was added in 2008 with my registration to SocialSpark. The site is the sister site of PayPerPost and it is an ideal way to earn cash while blogging. Socialspark is a great opportunity to meet bloggers and advertisers and also create new bonds with people from around the globe.

In my opinion, PayPerPost and Socialspark are premium ways to earn thousands of dollars on the internet in very a short amount of time. Those two sites should be once again my main source of revenue in 2009. If things go the way I plan them, I should earn a very interesting amount of money in 2009 with the help of both of these sites. All you need is an english speaking blog containing 20 posts!

Although my level of earnings has dramatically fell off more than 75% from the previous year, I still consider my online activities worth the time spent doing it. When I consider the short amount of time and commitment I allowed to earning cash online in 2008, my results are very satisfying.

The only reason I have not earned more than in 2007 is because of my long absence online from the month of april until the month of september of 2008. I have been inactive for almost 6 months online and it shows in my yearly results. But on the bright side, I have won more money at poker this year. :)

So let's see the numbers for 2008!

PayPerPost: $138.39
SocialSpark: $33.50
Paid to click sites: $30.26
Poker freerolls: $50.00
-----------------------------
2008 total: $252.15 (a 77% setback compared to 2007!)

Lets compare with 2007.

PayPerPost: $1002.87
Paid to click sites: $65.56
Poker freerolls: $20.00
Paid links on blog sidebar: $30.00
-----------------------------
2007 total: $1118.43

$42.31 has been deducted from my 2007 total because my account with Adsense was banned during 2008 and I never got paid from Google.

My objective for 2009 is simple: Manage to create more income streams on a daily basis during my leisure time and earn over $2000 online without spending a single penny.

I wish to you all a prosperous 2009!

Happy new year!

Well, another year has passed us by. 2007 was a good year for internet marketing and home based businesses and we can safely affirm that 2008 will also be a good one.

In 2007 if I count out FOREX trading, which involves investments, I have not paid a single penny in ads or in any kind of membership. I have managed to earn extra cash myself during 2007 with safe, risk-free websites like PayPerPost and Paid to click sites. In many cases, all I had to do is spend 15 to 20 minutes a day while drinking my coffee before heading to work.

I also counted some leisure-money that I accumulated as I also played online poker on my few available leisure time available this year. I only accumulated a few and withdrew some money playing freeroll tournaments this year. Once again, it represents a cost-free way to earn cash online so that is why I am counting it. I really did not play poker at all until lst month during 2007. I was extremely busy and had to cut somewhere...:)

If you add up: 20 minutes a day for a full year, only represents 121.66 hours at the end of the year. The same as 3 weeks of full-time work!

So I really limited my time and money investment into this to its minimum. Only a few minutes a day was available. The extra money at the end is really nice as it helped paying bills all year round. I will probably try to invest a little more time from now on and hope have better results to show next year. :)

Here is a sum of my 2007 earnings. I will exclude FOREX earnings and will only count cost-free ways to earn cash online used by myself during 2007.

PayPerPost: $1002.87
Paid to click sites: $65.56
Adsense banners: $42.31
Poker freerolls: $20.00
Paid links on blog sidebar: $30.00
-----------------------------
2007 total: $1160.74

I wish to each and everyone of you a happy and a prosperous new year.
