Happy New Year all.

Hope you had a good one; plenty of good luck and well wishes (and all that other crap ) for 2008. What I will hope is that you earn and learn (cheesy, eh? ) more than you did in 2007.

As for earnings - I promised I’d show earnings and of course proof; heck, I could state I earned $15,000 last month but I doubt any of y’all would believe me (considering my slightly lazy attitude). Anyways, the problem is that I didn’t withdraw money at the end of November, as I wanted to invest is some stuff - I will try and piece it together below. I don’t like leaving a lot of money in my Paypal account, so I withdrew $2,000 in the middle of the month - anyways, let’s try and add it up.

Funds Withdrawn

That was in the middle of this month, and is $2000 USD - this also includes last month’s Paypal total of $983 so doing some quick Math (my favourite subject). So total earnings this month so far is $2000 - $983 = 1017

That already surpasses last month’s Paypal balance. But I’ve got more; of course, I continued business after that withdrawal and today’s total reads at a decent $1,307.94 - almost better than all my earnings last month.

So the total earnings for this month is $1017 + $1307.94 = $2324.94

Something I’m pretty happy with, considering it’s around $1000 more than I earned last month. If the goal is to continually improve (which I’m definitely aiming for), this is a good jump. Do you see me earnings $3,324.94 in January, 2008?

So that’s the Paypal balance out of the way. It would have been a bit more but the eCheck for my website still hasn’t gone through - thank fook as I’d have a huge total to surpass this month. Anyways, the $1,500 coming in will be a good start to 2008, and I will only need to double it (easy? hah) to reach my aims. Now - Adsense; I’m really sorry to say that I slacked this month and didn’t promote any of my proxies - apart from a couple times I paid someone to do it, I slacked off pretty much. All earnings were from proxies apart from a $0.04 click I received on an ancient soccer website of mine (w00t! )

Adsense Earnings - December

That’s around $60 less than last month… meh. I did use that promotion time on other, more lucrative things. Anyways, my goal will be to finally break $250.00 in January; what about you?

Total Adsense Earnings: $175.11

That’s two things out of the way. I would like to diversify my income, and the only reason I haven’t is because, well - article marketing sounds like a total b!tch; anyways, I did make a bit more on affiliate programs than I did last month, which is all I can hope for, I guess; thankfully my TLA eBook was not a total waste. I made $50.00 and a bit from Auction Ads too.

Text Link Ads

That was all made from this eBook - we’ll see how it goes; I might continue to promote it in 2008, but then again I might not.

Auctions ads. Now, I bought into a marketing package on Digital Point, so someone else is doing all the work for me; anyways, Auction Ads (aff link)
give you a $25.00 bonus to startup; I thought they were owned by Shoemoney, but some have said that TLA are in charge of them. At well; they pay through Paypal, which beats Commission Junction any day; if you’d like to signup, please use my cleverly disguised affiliate link, as I’ll get a massive 5% of everything you make

I’ve included the bonus, as they payout when you reach $50.00 - that shouldn’t be too far away. Considering you get half that free, it’s not bad just signing up for the heck of it. I made a massive four bucks outside the bonus, so the total for the month is:

Auction Ads Earnings: $29.57

Err… total from affiliate earnings is $79.57. Might as well retire now, seeing that I’ve reached Uber-Affiliate status, eh?

My goal for January is to reach at least $100.00 in affiliate earnings. Possible? I think. Easy? Naah. Might have to do the writing and stuff myself; we’ll see.

Total for December, 2007: $2324.94 + $175.11 + $79.57 = $2579.62

Almost double last month’s earnings; onwards and upwards hopefully.

Alright, now we’ve got past the earnings crap, a bit of other stuff…

The Entrecard contest - I used Random.org (easier than fooking MS Excel, eh) to draw a number between 1 - 17 (the amount of comments on the last post); the number drawn was 15. Were you the 15th commentator? Head on over and have a look… :). I racked up another 100 or so credits during the night, so I’ll give out 600 to the winner - just ask me on MSN/Yahoo.

Guest posters

I’ve seen quite a few people ask for guest posters in recent days, anyways I’m going to have to join the trend - my exams of course start tomorrow, and I won’t have time to post in the lengths I’ve been doing, so I’ll need one guest post a day between January 2nd - January 7th. If you feel up for it, just message me/drop me an email and I’ll add you as an author so that you can post drafts; I’ll approve the draft and then it can go live. If you’d like to be a guest poster on TUK, please have some samples of past work; the topics you could write about are blogging/making money online/internet marketing. Also, if you do not use a spell checker, I will shoot you.

My New Year Troll

Now, most trolls are unfriendly creatures; I had a return of my good ole friend Carlos who is on his way to being banned thrice. He visited the blog three times yesterday, and had a few friendly comments; don’t you wish that all trolls were like that? I’d ban him, but I’m thinking that keeping him as a pet would be, well… better, considering his fine comments. Take a look at them here; don’t you love the edit comment function in WordPress?

Anyways, New Year and all, gotta run; have a good one everyone; let’s hope Arsenal win today and all y’all get off to a good start. Put the money making on hold and enjoy the food or something; better pray that I pass them exams too eh? Later!
