I decided to record my money making experiment to see if it was possible to make money online. Here are the results for December 09 and a look back at my money making activities for 2009.
Back in 2008, I had very little knowledge about making money on the internet. I managed to figure out how to sign up with adsense and how to set up a site and started to earn a few pennies a month.
In June 2009 I started to put some work into making cash and my adsense earnings was about £30. I didn’t have a clue about making money with Amazon.
The results over the last few months have been good and bad. The good news is that almost everything that I have tried has been successful. I have made money online.
The bad news is that my progress has not been as quick as I had hoped it would be. This has been due to many things but mainly procrastination as well as down right laziness and fear. If I had worked more diligently my figures surely would have been higher.
Nevertheless the fact that I have achieved some of the goals I set myself gives me cause to smile. Hooray!!
Making Money With Adsense
I have consistently reached the adsense payout threshold in the last few months which is absolutely fantastic but now I need to concentrate on increasing the money. This will be done by creating more hubpages because are really quick to write up.
I have read lots of helpful tips and information from other sites and forums and I have tried to incorporate many of these factors in my money making experiment.
I have slowly started to invest in my own hosted sites and hope that they will do well in the future. They are a mixture of adsense and Amazon affiliate sites.
Earnings This Month
Adsense earnings from Hubs = £41.72 last month = £44.32
Adsense earnings for Info barrels = £19.96 last month = £12.17
Adsense earnings from Free blogger blogs = £9.21 last month = £18.87
Adsense earnings from my Hosted sites = £33.87 last month = £30.24
Total Adsense earnings = £104.76 last month = £113.60
Making Money With Amazon
I have been making money with Amazon creating hubpages and I have also started to create my own hosted websites. This takes longer to do but it is very satisfying to see my efforts repaid with visitors clicking away and making their purchases.
Total earnings from Amazon this month =£152 last month = £99
Total Earnings For 2009
Adsense earnings for 2009 = £798.90
Amazon earnings for 2009 = £313.58
Grand Earnings For 2009 = £1,112.48
Conclusion
I can make money online. Yippee. I can pick keywords that find their way on the first page of the Google search engine. Now I have to learn how to pick words that either pay more per click or get a larger amount of traffic each day. I also need to do more of the boring stuff that will keep my sites on the first page – create backlinks.
I have some ways to go before I can give up the day job but I look forward to the new challenges that 2010 will bring and all the new online money making opportunities that will arise.
All it takes is time and patience and maybe a little spot of luck. It would be great to see my earnings reports read £1,000 per month instead of per year so I will be working towards fufilling this goal and I am fully positive that I can achieve it too.

I think you’ve done impressively well. I have a feeling that you’re gonna do heaps better this year. I’ve bookmarked your blog and will be following it with interest.
Take care…
(p.s.: I’m in the UK too!)
That’s lot of earning for me, my adsense revenue at 2009 was so poor, even I didn’t reach the minimal limit lol. But I won’t give up, I will try to make better revenue in 2010. Wish me luck
