2011 Update

It's been well over a year since I last added a post...I've been busy. To be honest, I totally forgot about this blog until yesterday; I was going through my 2010 income and spending for a meeting with my tax guy today, and I realized that this year, I actually have to claim the money that I've made from my 2010 Internet ventures.

This marks a milestone on two accounts. One, never have I ever been excited about paying taxes, and two, it reminded me that I've achieved my goal of making an extra $500/month (I think that was the original amount) through my Internet revenue streams.

I won't give the exact amount of my current average monthly earnings, but I will say that my efforts over the last year or so are finally starting to pay off; my 2010 earnings (mainly through affiliate referrals) were nearly 400% higher than my net investments (hosting, outsourcing writers, a couple MMO service subscriptions). You're not going to find those kind of results in the first year with a brick and mortar operation. My goal is to crack $10,000 in total revenue for 2011 - I have a lot of work to do, but I'm closing in on the needed pace to make it happen.

There's my long-overdue update. I can't promise I'll continue posting to this site in any regular fashion (not that anyone cares), but if you have any questions or comments, I'd be glad to hear from you.

Thanks!

Thanks for the update, Dave. You're wrong - there are a few of us out here in cyberland who care:) I was just now cleaning up my blog a little and found a link to you here at CMR - so I decided to check in and was pleasantly surprised to see your update. Congrats on your success, btw. I've also been learning and growing - in fact, I just started a new blog for my custom memorial quilt business. Anyway, best wishes to you and yours in 2011 and beyond!

Hey Crystal,

Thanks for the feedback - glad to hear from you, and that things are going so well. Making money on these Internets sure is a gas, ain't it? Best wishes to you also!


Thanks Crystal!
