Well I have not had a record month for a while but January has seen me sneak over the GBP 3000 or just under USD 6000 barrier which is amazing!
December was really slow but things have really picked up since Christmas time and continued up until this day. It was probably beyond my wildest dreams that I would get to this sort of income two and a half years ago when I set out but I have proved that it is possible to make a good living from the Internet.
I continue to urge anyone to not give up the ghost if they are still just earning a few dollars a day. Keep plugging away and find your niche and anything on the web is then possible.
So my next goal should be something around USD 10000 a month and I am starting to believe this is entirely realistic.

Well done Webbie - as some one once said the harder I work the luckier I get! You really give me hope because with our house rented and mortgage free I only have to earn about US$3000/ month to replace my current income. Of course yet to earn 1c but hearing what you and others are doing tells me its possible

Thanks Lis, yea it is possible and I like the expression ‘the harder I work the luckier I get’ - too true!
I think it might be because the harder you work the smarter you work, so you don’t have to work as hard, but you have to remain smart, if you know what I mean!

Congratulations! I think I’m going to go back and read some of those earlier posts, just to see how much has changed.

And Webby, it’s 2007 already.

That’s great Webby, hope you make it to your next goal…. $10,000 USD a month would be mega!….
Just a quick suggestion though… Don’t neglect the people who helped to get you there. It appears at times that you aren’t as concerned with answering emails and/or questions as you are with checking your bank account, just so long as people buy your e-book and fuel your web empire. Might not be 100% true, but it kinda comes across that way at times.

Makes interesting reading

This kind of news gets me really fired up…. I have been somewhat discouraged about doing this latley due to not finding a niche, but this post reminds me what it’s all about and what it takes.
However, today I received my first ever click on my blog. I have earned 24 cents from Adsense! This tiny breakthrough is massive for me as it proves that it can be done. If it weren’t for me discovering this website I wouldn’t have even known that this exciting and potentially enjoyable way of earning money even existed.
Thank you so much Webby.

I did look back at the old posts. It was good to see how short a time it has been since you were all excited about some comparatively low numbers. At one point you did a chart of your income and pointed out when you had slacked off working and when you worked hard. I’d love to see another chart, with comments.

Mike, how do you know if I reply to emails or not?
Maybe you mailed me and I missed that one so I aplogise.

I’ve emailed you a couple of times, and also dropped a PM for you on a different forum that we are both on and I never heard back from you….
Anyway, it was just a suggestion made out of extreme frustration and certainly not warranted or deserved. I can only imagine how much shite shows up in your inbox and if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t even be trying this right now….
Please accept my apology for the stupid comment.
