What have I been up to lately?

Even though I have not been writing much lately, I have been working hard at making money online, and it is going quite well, even though many more experienced online workers claim that the month of July is usually pretty uneventful.

My biggest income has been from two private clients, one who I write content for, and one who I do SEO work for. I've earned over $200 in just a week working for these guys, and while the tasks were pretty big, I am hoping to get some loyal, returning customers because of my competitive rates and great results. So I see the low prices I take in the beginning as a form of investment.

The Amazon ads still haven't made me any money, which is a bit dissapointing, but I suppose I need to do some more research on placements of the ads and so on before I give up on them entirely.

I've also managed to beef up my account balance on MyLot this month as well, so I am hoping I will get a pay out from there for this month as well.

Other than that, I am still trying to learn as much as possible about the online money making business, so I've purchased these three new books:
The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
(the title says it all, don't you think?)

Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur

Online Marketing Heroes: Interviews with 25 Successful Online Marketing Gurus
(learning from the best is always a good idea!)

I still haven't recieved the books though, since I got them online, but as soon as I've read them, I will let you know if they are worth investing your time and money into!

I hope everyone is having fun and succeeding to make money online!

What I am doing right now...

I recently got myself a private client who needs some basic SEO done for his sites, so I am about to make several hundred bucks from doing that. Private clients are really a great way to make money fast, as you can set your own prices, and work as fast or slow as you want (and agree to with the client!).

Besides that, I am reading two awesome books that I think will help me improve my online money making skills and my motivation in general: Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money-That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not! and 50 Ways to Make Google Love Your Website

I am really enjoying them both, even though 50 Ways to Make Google Love Your Website is maybe a bit too basic for me, but it is great to be reminded of some of the things you know too every once in a while!
And Rich Dad Poor Dad is really extremely inspiring! If you feel the need to change your attitude towards money and wealth, you definitely need to read it!

New update

So a new month has arrived, and a few weeks after I started this blog, I have actually managed to make money online! Not a lot of it, by any means, but any earnings is a step in the right direction right now.
All of it comes from MyLot, because while my Amazon ads have had some clicks, they have not resulted in any sales yet.
But at least I am making some progress!

The next step? Applying for a Google Adsense account, so I can start displaying Google links on this blog and my other blogs as well. I just filled out the application, and it is supposed to take 1-2 days before I get an answer regarding if my application has been approved or not. Can't wait!

Have a great and profitable weekend, everyone!

Update

Just a short update for those who are interested in how I am doing:

I have continued posting on MyLot, so I think I will get paid by them as soon as this month ends. I have also looked into the Amazon affiliate program, and I have decided to start promoting some of Amazon's books, in order to see how that works out.

You can see some of the ads I am using on the right side bar in this blog, as well as on my two other blogs Things that make me go mmmm and Passion for handbags.

I will keep you updated on how I do with both MyLot and the Amazon products, of course!

Tips for those who want to make money on MyLot

I've already mentioned my membership on MyLot, and the fact that I like it so far, so I thought I would share my best tips regarding earning money on MyLot for those interested in trying out this method in order to make money online:

You can make money on MyLot in several different ways
You can discuss stuff, by replying to excisting topics or starting your own discussions.
You can also submit photos to the site, in order to make a bit more.
You can also perform different tasks in order to make even more.
You can use the search engine on MyLot (instead of Google, for instance) to get some bonuses.

I have not uploaded pics to MyLot yet, but I have participated in discussions. If you take part in discussions, the best thing is to make as much sense as possible, because that might mean that you get chosen as the best reply in that particular discussion. I am pretty sure that means you also earn a bit more for your reply.

You should also try to write long replies, since these seem to pay you a bit more. Some users suggested over 6 lines or more, but I think that is a bit too much in most cases, my own goal is at least 4 lines per reply (I don't always manage to live up to that though, but at least I try!).

If you start a discussion it is also good if you reply to those who give you answers to your question. Not only because this is common sense (hihi!), but also because you get paid a bit more for it.

As for tasks, I tried completing one, but the task was rejected by the guy who wanted the task done. He claimed it was plagiarized (which it was not! And I would not be surprised to see my original article posted somewhere soon), so I did not get paid for the task. I also could not discuss it with the guy, so writing an article for him was really a waste of time. So personally, I will stay away from the tasks on MyLot and just focus on the discussions instead!

Make money online on MyLot.com

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been trying out the online money making site MyLot for the past few days. I actually like MyLot, it is a fun site where you can discuss almost anything that pops into your head (except how much money you make on the site, apparently, that seems to be frowned upon), with other MyLotters from around the world.

I think it will be hard to make huge amounts on MyLot, but I have managed to make several bucks in just a few days, which I think is pretty good, especially since I did not actually work for it in a very serious way, all I did was to post replies to questions such as "How much do you donate to charity?" and "Do you like wearing jeans?", which really is fun and simple enough.

When you have made $10 on MyLot, your earnings will be transfered to your Paypal account. The transfers are made once a month, I think, so I will try to make the remaining amount that I am still lacking before the end of the month.

While you won't exactly get rich on MyLot, I think it is completely possible to make around $10-$20 every month by MyLotting (I joined in the middle of the month and I am pretty sure I will make the $10 limit by the end of the month), and possibly even more if you do the so called tasks that are available on the site, besides discussing in general. So I think I will keep discussing on MyLot for a while, $10 or $20 a month is still an income online, and it does not take too much time, so why not?

My first attempt to make money

Since making money online is something you need to plan and work on for quite some time before the money starts coming in, I have decided to get started right away, even though my plan is not fully developed yet. The first thing I decided to do was to join a site called MyLot, which is basically a forum (but with some extra features that most forums do not have) where you get paid to discuss different topics with other people.

That sounds easy enough, I have actually been a member of different forums before, but without getting paid for it, so I thought I would check it out.

Before joining MyLot, I googled the site, in order to make it was a real site, that actually has been around for a while, and not a scam. Most members seem pleased with the site, which is a good sign, and so far, I quite enjoy the forum myself too.

When you join MyLot, the first thing you do is to choose things you are interested in. This is because discussions related to the things you like will be highlighted in different ways on the MyLot forum, so choosing the stuff you are actually interested in will make it easier for you to find discussions that interest you.

I am not quite sure how everything on the site works yet, but I will start finding out, and of course, I will share the information I get with my readers!
