I am currently working via a temping agency, but I do not particularly enjoy the work I do. I really really need the money though, so I can't be picky right now. But I intend to eventually make a full-time living online.
At the moment I am mostly focusing on writing articles for Hubpages, Squidoo, and a dutch site called Infonu. These sites let you publish your own originally written articles on their site for free. And they share the ad revenue with you. So I signed up for an Adsense account and an Amazon Affiliate Account. So far I've written 87 articles divided over the three sites, and I've made €22 (almost $30) on Adsense, and $14 on Amazon. It will probably be at least another 2 months before I reach payout, as it is set at $100 with both Adsense and Amazon. But I plan on greatly expanding my volume of hubs, squidoo lenses and infonu articles, until I reach monthly payouts, and then try and increase the amount every month.
Besides my hubs, lenses and infonus, I want to set up several blogs in the coming months. These will be monetized with Adsense and Amazon as well. For the future I also plan to sign up to Clickbank and Commission Junction to find other affiliate products to promote. But for now I feel I should concentrate on one thing first, and become successful at that, and then broaden my horizons and explore the next thing. Instead of accumulating pennies over several different affiliate accounts, and never reaching payout.
My goals for October are:
- 90 hubs (am at 73 now)
- 25 infonus (am at 13 now)
- 6 squidoo lenses (am at 1 now)
It is hard to find the time to research and write these articles, as I am working full time, and am picking up a lot of extra and double shifts. So I need to balance work, article writing, and family and friends. But I am very motivated to make this online income work, as it will mean I can leave a job I hate behind, or at least cut down on hours on this job, and increase my internet hours, all the while still paying of my debts.
