Summary of My Online Earnings in 2008

Hey everyone,

I hope you all are having a good New Years Eve or maybe it is already 2009 and you are just reading this. In that case I hope you have a wonderful New Years Ever/New Year celebration.

I am just here to give a summary of my online earnings for the year of 2008 and I want you all to keep in mind that I just started to do this earlier in 2008 (around March) and did not make a breakthrough till around April/May.

In this last year I have seen so many sites of many types come and go, especially those PTC (paid to click) sites. But there are still a few which I click at. Only three, which can be all be found under my list of money making sites on the sidebar. They are Ara-bux, Clixsense and Wordlinx.

There are so many other sites which have come and gone and not just PTC sites. HYIP (investment sites) and Auto-surf sites (which I have personally never ventured into) start off nicely but quickly turn into scams. I think the key with some of these sites is to get in on the ground floor but don't take my word for it.

Now, on myLot there have been few discussions where people have been asking, "Are you satisfied with your online earnings this year?" and other discussions along the same lines. This prompted me to calcuate and add up all my earnings for 2008 (I keep a ledger book and excel sheet with records) and I have to say that I am pretty surprised at how much I actually made in 2008. So without further ado, I shall give you all a rundown of my earnings for the year of 2008.

Review Stream - $296.40Usd
myLot - $56.29Usd
Money4Banners - $30GBP changed to $45.32Usd
Freelance work - $199Usd. (If you have graphic skills you can do logo/banner designs for cash)
Burnbux - $1.06Usd :- turned scam shortly after I got this payment
Paid Profit (HYIP) - $0.66Usd :- Not sure what happened to this site
LevelInvest (HYIP) - $3.50 :- ended up closing down/scam
Ucash.in - $0.10Usd
Ara-bux - $341.91Usd (This is only some profits which I withdrew, I made about $393 in actual profits . This figure does not include the $209Usd initially invested)

Amazon Mturk - Almost $200Usd which I used in my gift certificate account to purchase stuff from the Amazon website.

Now unfortunately I never made a profit from Crewbux, in fact I operated at a loss. So I decided to include absolutely no money into these calculations from that site.

Now all this (not including Amazon Mturk money) comes to very close $1000Usd.
Actually $944.24Usd and having Amazon Mturk money to spend made it easier for me to buy gifts for some of my international friends and relatives during birthdays and the holiday season.

I also won a prize from the contest I recently blogged about which Bob, from ChristianPF.com, was holding. Besides the Ipods, there were other goodies being given away. I won a copy of The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets by Peter Schiff. It looks like a very informative book and I will give a review of it when I am finished reading it.

I hope your year has been as good as mine and I wish you all much success in 2009.
