Firstly apologies for the delay on the e-book. I have been having some issues with sending emails over the weekend but it looks to be OK and I have sent the e-book off to the first batch of people. If you don’t get it today you will tomorrow.
Had a great weekend with some expats I met here in Kuta and I am off to stay with a couple of them in their villa surrounded by rice paddy fields for a day or so.
Now for the money. For the first time for a while I have not surpassed my previous month and my total earnings came in at just under £1450 for the month.
I am a bit disappointed to be honest but I’ve had a good start to May so I am pretty positive. I am hoping the work I did in KL will be rewarded this month.

I recieved my copy of your book today - I have been waiting anxiously and although I haven’t been able to read it completely - I really appreciate your effort and support.
thanks again

I got the book today, and when I get back to the States (next week!) and get my computer up and running i’ll download and hopefully get moving. Thank you!

Hi,
Really enjoyed your book
I am already starting to plan my websites.
Have already got my 2 major ones started and well on the way, 1 is earning ever so slightly, the other I have not yet monetized.
I now have a firm idea of what my 3 minor sites are going to be in order to keep on the same topic.
I knew more or less what I was going to do but your book both motivated me and set me on the right track! Thanks for that
Was just looking at your April earnings post and I think that is brilliant!! I have to ask though, is this mostly Google Adsense or affiliate programs? I ask because I have heard so many horror stories about Google shutting down peoples account for no reason! I am getting ready to leave work and this is in the back of my mind. I wouldn’t want to be relying on a source of income that can be taken away from me at any second.
Do you have any thoughts on this?

I started making websites last year and I can honestly say, I wish I had this book back then! The information on some of the the mistakes WN made is valuable information that will help people save both time and money. I made very similar mistakes when I was starting out. This ebook forms a great blue print for people starting out as internet entrepreneurs and will help people to earn money while traveling.
Melanie, Google will only kick you out of the program if you break the rules. Read the agreement very carefully! If you have any questions I am sure people here would be happy to answer them.
I have been with Adsense over a year now and touch wood, haven’t had any trouble.

I agree with Mike - make sure you read those terms and conditionsn for Adsense and try not to worry about getting booted out - I am sure the percentage is very small.
Don’t forget there are other programs out there as well and there is also affiliate programs.
“I wouldn’t want to be relying on a source of income that can be taken away from me at any second.”
My last corporate job was taken away from me in one day - there is simply no security in any job these days. Go for it and if you keep within the rules you’ll be fine.
Thanks Mike for the comments about the e-book, would you mind if I quoted these on some of my promotional stuff?

Yes, that is fine. A link would be nice but not necessary. I just hope you don’t need a picture. Testimonial pictures in sales letters are either fake or really ugly. I wonder why…
