404039 is the number

This is a list of the steps taken toward the ultimate goal, since 07/07/07 until present.

A month ago, I started an appreciation system on my graphics-illustrations blog. This was to help me continue with my free work there.

Within a month I received a sum of $53, from five ladies! Appreciations varied from $5 to $18 (Thank you girls! :))

The interesting thing is that all contributions came from ladies. I don’t know is it about the female compassion or just a coincidence. But it looks like guys are not easy on theirs wallets

To draw a line on my steps to 404 039, here’s the list from the beginning until today:

• microstock business is little bit neglected last three months, but earning are more than $2000/month
• Amazon graphics-illustrations store started 12th July, earns me a whole $1,72 (LOL)
• CafePress store started 21st July, earned $18,20 since then! Not good, not good at all… I have to take better care of that shop!
• AdSense (started 17th October) is not going as expected, only $17/month
• Business card design started on 18th October, earnings are still at $0
• November 9th, I started 2 new blogs: bsilvia.com and blogffiliate.com
• All kind of affiliations (info provided on blogffiliate blog) are not going well, the sum is $0

• Member of a „Smorty pays you to blog“ since November 17th earns me $48 two days ago for my first two articles! Yes! I hope that this can be my daily earning in the future!
