This marks the first income report of the new year. As such, I will also be providing the total income (gross) that I earned last year (2011) from my online business ventures.

If this is your first time here on my blog, first of all, welcome. Every month I do a detailed income report, showing you exactly where my income comes from. This gives you an idea of the various income streams that are available, as I strongly believe you shouldn’t place all of your eggs in one basket.

This is also a way for me to measure my success (or failure) from month-to-month. Each month will vary in income, and that’s all part of working from home as an affiliate and internet marketer. This acts as a motivator for me to keep pushing forward to reach my goals.

I hope you find these income reports helpful and give you encouragement that it is possible to make money on the internet.

Let’s see how I did last month…

My goal for this year is to branch out into video marketing, as well as continue my content marketing strategy. I will convert all articles written for the site into videos and distribute them via a newly made YouTube Channel. I will have more on this later on in a separate post.

Total Gross Earnings for Year 2011

This section is new and will be continued every January, highlighting the previous year’s earnings. Last year saw a lot of growth, and I look forward to see how this year improves and moves upwards even more.

My online business as a whole brought in a total of: $7,273.24. That’s gross, non-taxed income all earned completely online in 2011. My goal for this new year is to double that amount, at the least. Let’s see if I can do it!

Google Adsense Record

I felt this was worth mentioning. As you may have noticed, I made $81.72 in Adsense last month from this site and blog. That’s a record high in Adsense income, ever. I’m pretty excited about that. I used to have Adsense ads on the site and made on average, maybe $20 – $35, nothing to brag about.

But, almost triple that in one month, and I can see the light. Still nothing huge, but making progress for sure. I’ll write a detailed post about my findings and new insights about Adsense a little later, so stay tuned for that. I know a lot of you haggle me about Adsense and ask why it’s always so low. My upcoming post will explain that and what you can expect for future earnings.

My micro niche site keeps improving each month. Google Adsense earnings for this month from the site totaled $8.38. This amount is included in my total Adsense income as reported above. I finally was able to add another page to my site, providing more related content for those searching for that topic. I believe adding more related pages will bring in more targeted visitors and produce more Adsense clicks. That’s the goal, anyway.

So far, no Adsense or Clickbank income yet for the site. I have been focusing on building links and getting content posted to the site, but it’s been a slow process as I’ve been on time constraints. Regardless, this should help elevate the amount of visitors the site is getting to a decent enough level to start generating some clicks, and hopefully a few sales.

So far, no Adsense income yet for the site. I’ve gotten some impressions, but no clicks yet. I have a link building strategy in place, and my goal is to move the site up in the rankings, while posting new, fresh content to the site. Combined, this should elevate the amount of visitors the site is getting to a decent enough level to start generating some clicks, and hopefully a few sales.

I’ll keep you updated as things progress. Believe it or not (I can’t), the site is almost a year old. I JUST renewed the domain for another year as it expires in November. I’m hopeful that I can start pumping some income out of this site, and I look forward to sharing my experiences about the site with you all.

No income as of yet. I’ve been slowly building backlinks and adding more content to the site. Expect an update very soon regarding the site and what exactly I’m doing to market it. My current plan with the site is to add Google Adsense ads to see if the small amount of traffic the site gets can convert into clicks.

December of 2010 was by-far my best month to date. One of my goals last year was to reach $1,000 in income for a single month, and I finally did it. Now, the next goal is to do it consistently.

How’s your summer going so far? Mine is going especially well. Been pretty busy with things, but I like being busy as long as it doesn’t include stress. There are a couple of things I’ll be updating you about in the next week or two, so be on the lookout for that. Exciting stuff, for sure.

If this is your first time to my blog, welcome! This post is pretty self-explanatory, and I hope you enjoy it and learn a few things about what I do and how you can make money online as well.

December was by-far my best month to date. One of my goals last year was to reach $1,000 in income for a single month, and I finally did it. Now, the next goal is to do it consistently. I will be doing much less proofreading in the months ahead, so the bulk of that income will be gone. That means I’ll need to boost more income out of this site and try to get the ball rolling with my new niche site.

That’s my current plan.

One of the great ironies of human life is that so many people never get to do the work for which they’re best suited. Talents often go to waste, and the world is poorer as a result. Recent surveys indicate that people employed in areas where they have special talents are far more productive and much happier. If you’ve ever done sales training, you’ll appreciate the logic in this situation. Sales techniques geared to customer motivation are far more effective. Careers, too, are reinforced by motivation and sabotaged by the lack of it.

Enter the New Economy

In the past, personal talents were referred to as “hobbies.” Rather dismissively, they were sometimes called “amateur” pastimes, even as businesses. The New Economy is a very different ball game. Thanks to the internet and much better global communications, people can turn their talents into paying propositions. Many freelancers, in fact, work on that basis and do extremely well.

Some people are able to turn multiple talents into multiple businesses, with multiple income streams. Most work is outsourced, but some are direct suppliers of their products and services. It is interesting to note that in Australia alone, 25% of the workforce is believed to be self-employed.

The defining gifts of talents are their skills, and skills are the things most in demand in the New Economy. The simple fact is that talented people do better work, and the New Economy job market wants quality. Many of the “portfolio professions” like writing, graphic arts and media are performance-based, and a good portfolio can get you more work than a degree.

Another irrefutable fact is that highly talented people are also highly productive. They can do easily the things that others find hard, and they’re also usually innovators, with unique products and ideas. This means that the value of their work is much higher, both for themselves and for their business associates.

What’s Your Special Talent?

A real talent is a skill at which you truly excel. You do these things effortlessly and well, and enjoy doing them. Just about everybody has one or more talents, and it’s now very easy to put them into practical use. Whatever your personal talent, there is practically no limit to the possibilities of turning it into a paying career.

Many of the world’s most highly talented, successful people say that they don’t even consider their jobs to be a type of work. That’s a good indication of the best use of talent, where work becomes pleasure. When considering your own best talents, consider the things that you do best and enjoy most. These are your real strengths, the skills most likely to lead to success. If you think you need more training or experience, you’ve even got a perfectly good excuse to enjoy yourself while getting it!

Talent is a way out of the daily grind and the misery of mediocre jobs and lousy income brackets. Check out the professionals in your area of talent, and see how they got started. You’ll find that all they needed was a little persistence, and their talent did the rest.

If life is what you make it, your talents can make your life a dazzling success.

P.S. I decided to create an “Income Reports” category, so you and I can easily keep track of all the monthly reports I do. I don’t know why I didn’t do this from the beginning. Talk about a “DUH” moment.

I’ll try to get all previous income reports tagged to the new category. It may be a while, though.
