So you want to know how much I make online?

Last summer I was at the top of my game – so that’s what you really want to see, right?

Well, here are a couple of screenshots – First is a screenshot of my Paypal account from July and August, 2008 showing payments received of $9199.00 (note: all payments received could not be captured in a single screenshot). Second is a screenshot of my Google Adsense account for the same timeframe – that image shows payments received totaling $1751.37.

That doesn’t include the checks I received in the mail that average about $500 per month.

That brings my total income for July and August 2008 to: $11,450

I’m not sharing this information to be boastful or bragging – I’m sharing these details because I want people to know there are ways to make money online while working from home. It would be easy for me to offer up some heavy hitting sales pitch trying to get you to buy into my tales of success, but for me, the greatest proof and sense of security came from seeing the proof of income from other internet professionals who inspired me to succeed.

So tell me, do you think making money online is possible? 

Feel free to ask questions you may have. I’ll answer them as best I can.

When you take part in affiliate and Google Adsense revenue sharing communities, you have an easy opportunity to earn extra income off the work you’re already doing.

The best part of this is you don’t have to have a blog, a website or a great deal of experience. If you can maneuver around Facebook, MySpace and Twitter – these options will be perfect to get you rolling toward a nice little income online.

Most Adsense revenue shares I’ve seen or belong to are between 50 and 100 percent for the content you add.  Your content can be in the form of a forum thread that you start, an article you write, a video you produce, a picture you submit, a blog, or other types of content.

Throughout the work at home networks, the best earners are the articles posting sites. That is considering you are a really good writer, Squidoo, and Hub Pages. Hubpages allows you to participate in Google Adsense revenue sharing, Amazon, eBay and Kontera.

If you spread your efforts across different sites, you could make some decent income. It is also an effective way of generating income for your own site by giving the visitors an incentive to contribute and keep returning.

Before you start getting all excited and your thoughts of income increase, you will want to take care of a few things first.

If you haven’t already, you need to sign up for Google Adsense. Also, the majority of the revenue sharing sites pay via PayPal, so you will want to sign up for this as well.  Another program to consider, and although I’ve yet to make anything other then enough to support my reading habit and purchase an occasional gift, You may want to sign up for Amazon Associates.  All of these are free to join.

Squidoo – A great social media site. Revenue shares vary based on a variety of criteria. I’ve got friends who make $1,000 plus per month on Squidoo. [ Join Squidoo ]

HubPages – Publish articles on topics you love and keep a portion of the revenue! HubPages is also a great revenue source for Amazon.  [ Join HubPages ]
