Every month I make a public blog post about my online earnings for that month. Let me start off by saying that these income posts are not meant to be bragging in anyway. The purpose of them is so that I can be completely transparent and help you make money blogging. My goal is to show you that there is a lot of money to be made indirectly from your blog, whether it is from career offers, consulting jobs, marketing your other websites through your blog, or using your blog as a launch platform for your startup websites. Something I did not learn until I started blogging for awhile (but I wish I had learned far earlier), is that being an authority about a topic that you enjoy will earn you money from sources outside of your blog. Blogging has helped me network with hundreds of webmasters, and has landed me my highest paying jobs. Before I started blogging, I did lots of search engine optimization, link building, and viral marketing for my own sites, but had no idea that I could do that for other people and make a living from it. If I had not started this blog and shared my secret link building strategies with my readers, my current clients would have never known I was an authority at viral marketing/link building. All in all, lets move onto what everyone is waiting for — my online income report!

My Ventures

I have a few projects “in the works,” but I have had a few different programmers scam me out of my time and money. I had planned on launching one site this month, but now that will be delayed until late April or early May. It will be worth the wait, however.

Conclusion

While I did make more money per day in February, there were fewer days in that month. I made over $85 per day this month and I am very happy with that number. I had a lot of mishaps happen with my sites that are being developed and still being able to pull this amount of money is a good thing. I look forward to expanding my blog this April and potentially breaking that 500 RSS reader milestone.

One thing that I am very proud of, is that I quit my part time jobs this month. I now officially make a living completely off the internet. There are not many 18 year olds that can pull that off, so I am glad to be one of them. Since I enjoy the work I do, I do not consider myself working anymore. I find doing internet marketing, link building, seo, and viral marketing a hobby, not a job. Therefore, I am officially retired at 18! Hopefully I can keep that up and expand my monthly revenue even more. With the way this year has been going, I don’t think that will be a problem at all.
