Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Yo...Joseph,<br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting. You make an excellent point about being realistic in goal setting. I have a tendency to set the bar very high and that can set me up for possible discouragement down the road. I am trying to be very realistic with the internet goals and make logical conclusions based upon likely scenarios.Kidgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462911771496899840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596167408248543176.post-49576120520837116592010-08-26T17:53:25.939-07:002010-08-26T17:53:25.939-07:00Hi Kidgas, I've set my own goals at around the...Hi Kidgas, I've set my own goals at around the $160 extra a month mark (currently building upon $1800 from last month). 10 months ago I was earning only around the $550 mark, so seems things are on track. However, I don't use any free stuff at all now, with exception to very occasionally using things like Squidoo and Blogger to build in some backlinks if I have the energy for it anyhow. I used to write a lot of content but not any longer - I find it really hard work, to be honest. And I'm not quite at the point whereby I want to be outsourcing much writing (I have done that in the past but it did not entirely pay off due to my own naivety, really).<br /><br />I see Selena set her goals at 1.5K US by the end of 2010, but yet she is just about hitting the $150 mark. This strikes home with me - its very important to be realistic with income goals (or any goal, for that matter) simply because if we set our goals way too high, we lose motivation to keep on pushing forwards. I'm guilty of this, so I kinda know what I'm talking about ;-)<br /><br />Good luck with your progress Kidgas! And watch out for that "burn-out" factor!<br /><br />JosephJoseph Archibaldhttp://affordableseotipsandtricks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596167408248543176.post-86195181423671509622010-08-26T10:59:36.983-07:002010-08-26T10:59:36.983-07:00Well, it should be easy to get finished with 4 mor...Well, it should be easy to get finished with 4 more Hubs. I am confident that you can do it. I am also confident that you can get to your earnings goal as well. I know that the last time I looked, you were doing a little better than I was.

I was aiming at $1.500 per month by December (ha, like that's gonna happen!). I'm not even making $150 yet. =)<br /><br />I think establishing goals is good because it helps us focus, but we should be flexible to re-evaluate and change them when necessary, like you did. I should probably do this as well...Selena @ Niche Blogging Divahttp://www.nichebloggingdiva.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596167408248543176.post-91694645044274598932010-08-25T02:35:15.284-07:002010-08-25T02:35:15.284-07:00@Sherryl,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. ...@Sherryl,<br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I certainly appreciate it. Sounds like you are doing well by making a little money on the internet with the goal of moving from active toward passive income streams. It seems like that is a popular approach. Since I work full-time, I am solely working on the passive approach.<br /><br />I have considered guest blogging although have not done it yet. I would certainly be interested if you want to discuss something.<br /><br />@Maria,<br />I really didn't know until writing this post that it was possible to propose my own title at DS. It certainly sounds like a viable strategy that I will consider. I think right now I have quite a bit on my plate so probably won't get to it until next year.<br /><br />$5000 monthly is certainly an impressive total that I have a little difficulty comprehending right now since I am quite far from that total. I have no doubt that you will eventually get there given your history of hard work and dedication to building passive income. Very impressive!Kidgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462911771496899840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596167408248543176.post-67613717917551225032010-08-24T10:54:08.844-07:002010-08-24T10:54:08.844-07:00Kidgas,

Writing eHow articles with your own titles through DS is almost as good as writing directly for the site in the "old days." I highly recommend for those who don't wish to write their own sites or blogs, that they continue to use ehow to build residual income online.<br /><br />I recently re-evaluated my 2010 goals as well. I had planned to hit $5k/month by December, but realizing that is unrealistic at this point, I'm working to build up my websites and blogs to have a strong foundation going into 2011 and hope to hit that $5k/month mark by June-September 2011.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950629596068215063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596167408248543176.post-44223385681950519462010-08-24T10:30:49.149-07:002010-08-24T10:30:49.149-07:00Kidgas,

I’ve been blogging for less than 6-months and my goals are still related to building awareness and developing online relationships. I’m going to be adding consulting services to my blog. So far, I’ve mainly been making money through jobs that I’ve been offered through connections that I’ve built online. Basically, someone has read a post of mine or read my blog and they’ve reached out to me for help. I’ve been moving blogs from free blog hosting to self-hosted domains and I’ve created a few CMS websites. While that brings in money, my aim is really to create sites and make money by not working so hard. :)<br /><br />I do have plans for a few articles on HubPages and I’m going to get more aggressive with affiliate marketing. I do not want to clutter my main blog with ads but I intend to develop specific mini-sites aimed at very niche markets.<br /><br />Do you guest blog? You write well and you seem to have submitted a lot of articles.Sherryl Perryhttp://keepupwiththeweb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596167408248543176.post-11904786583173833872010-08-23T02:24:45.511-07:002010-08-23T02:24:45.511-07:00Deanna,

That certainly sounds like a better option than the titles that I was reading. I am glad that you let me know about this since I may very well look into it.Kidgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462911771496899840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596167408248543176.post-34041971199642336172010-08-22T17:53:52.443-07:002010-08-22T17:53:52.443-07:00Hi Kidgas,

So you can submit an article of your own choice instead of picking for the list of titles available. I tried one so far and it went pretty good. In 3 weeks I made .76 cents from the one article I have on there. Yes, not a lot, but if you add 10-20 articles, the earnings will add up. Just wanted to let you know that you have that option if case you want to try.Deanna Lynn Slettenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100075772877115586noreply@blogger.com
