I can agree that a lot imagine an unrealistic goal as a start as I'm one back then I first learned about Adsense. Some years ago. 😅 I am still using Adsense and earning few cents but you are so right. I learned to set little goals. Last month or it was December I think I earned over $1, felt so good I looked at it for quite sometime as that's rare. 😅 I am also writing articles and happy I'm back at over $1 a day. Wish it is New Year everyday as one article hit first spot on Google and earned me over $100 that month. Thing is I also learned to just slow down when I'm burned out and keep going though at times I feel like it's going nowhere. While with YouTube, mine is below $1 from being close to $2 early last year. I slowed down there and spends more time Steeming. So for those earning online, take a break and slow down but keep going. 🙂
Yeah I think for the vast majority of people at least early on Steemit is going to make more money, not that Steemit is easy but it's less known and less used so I think easier to get to making a couple bucks per day quickly, especially if your active on here and engage with the community.
I think of Youtube and Adsense blogs as being a more long term play but the money can actually be very good if you stick with it long enough to get it going.
Have you ever tried CPA type offers as opposed to Adsense? Something I discovered a long time ago, but after a lot of wasted time spinning my wheels with Adsense is that you need MEGA traffic to make any real money with Adsense i mean like hundreds of thousands if not millions of views per month. With a CPA offer so either getting someone to buy something or signup for some offer you can often earn a pretty nice chunk of money.
Some CPA offers or affiliate programs I'm a part of pay as much as $100 per signup, others like $47, even the lower paying ones are like $13. Think about that, think how many Adsense clicks you'd need to get to make even $10. I think my Adsense account got value priced is what I think they call it, I get tons of clicks but I'm not even earning a penny a click. Thats throguh blogs Youtube I actually do quite well and have a very high CPM but my blog earns me almost nothing from Adsense clicks.
Awesome to hear your still grinding away and I agree with not letting yourself get burnt out, I think part of that is picking niches or topics your interested in as you'll almost always want to right and never have a shortage of content versus writing about some topic that your not interested in just for the money is going to get old quick
Yeah I've heard about CPA but I don't get much traffic or have my own domain as some I've looked at preferred it. But I am continously adding stuff there for the long run. 😁 In here, I'm not earning much, just $1 SBD a week but I am enjoying the site so I've been spending more time here browsing around than spending hours editing YT videos. Taking a break from that here I am enjoying photography and travel posts.
Yeah the beauty of CPA offers is one click/buy from your reader could be $50 where as just getting a single click for Adsense may only be a penny. As far as not having a domain I do pretty well via affiliate marketing and most of my time and effort is spent on forums, Youtube, social media. I do very little in terms of actually putting together full sites, more like web 2.0 type stuff.
Hey @darrylnyk my main income comes from a niche ecommerce store I've been running since 2012 but I also do Youtube, I'm an affiliate marketers using various affiliate programs, mostly smaller independent programs I don't really do clickbank, jvzoo, cj.com, etc. I also sell on Amazon Merch and other POD platforms, Etsy, eBay, Amazon, a bit of Amazon FBA.
Hey Buddy! so you mean it's really true that you can make money from niche e-commerce store? What skill sets does it take for you to run it? Is it writing blog posts, facebook ads or SEO?
I have tried previously but failed terribly.
How's the youtube income stream doing for you?
Have you heard of this website called Patreon? www.patreon.com
You can leverage on your youtube subscribers.
I guess this is the only way to grow a hobby into a successful business. I was hoping to quickly ramp up some side ventures and have 3 to 5 different income sources. I guess I need to continue educating myself in the online ways.
Hey @slider2990 curious if you find this to be the case. I'm a big fan of having multiple streams of income but one thign I notice is when I take my eye off the ball with one source to focus on another the one I set to the side winds up suffering, then I go back and work on that and the other one suffers. Regardless of how much it is I'm greatful for every source of income but would be awesome if I could get them all firing on all cylanders at once
Hey slider2990! If you are keen to education yourself in the context of "growing a hobby into a successful business". you should totally check Gary Vaynerchuk's "Crushing it!" It's amazing! that was what inspired me to step outside of my comfort zone and made videos!
haha mining for coins, yeah not nearly as profitable as crypto mining but got me to work at least. I remember one time while handing the cashier 21 pennies to put in my tank they fell pitty for me and told me to put in another $2 on them. granted this is back when that may have gotten you a gallon and a half or so but still a low moment.
I'm far from rich, but I'm comfortable these days, if I crack a tooth or need a new car battery I can buy it without worrying which is a huge peace of mind. Had a funny thing happen to me the other weekend. I forgot my wallet at my office over a long 3 day weekend and we had a snowstorm so didn't wanna drive all the way there to get it. One night I needed to run to the gas station so took a handful of quarters and change out of me and my gf's change jar and it really took me back to the day where I had to do that on a regular basis.
Making enough to get by online. Started a couple of new things the past year because it is a little slow here throughout autumn and winter. Definitly a lot harder to get things off the ground now compared to back in 2013.
I think a lot of people new to "making money online" tend to lock themselves into a box in terms of what they do ie I see Youtubers dropshipping so I'll try dropshipping.
IMHO if you want to get creative there's all types of ways to make money. Years ago a guy named Steve went on Sharktank with his I want to draw a cat for you business. Really pretty dumb but made a ton of money.
I recently ordered an Exploding Dick Bomb again incredibly stupid, I paid almost $30 for a cardboard tube that when opened shoots dicks everywhere lol. That thing clost like 0.50 cents to assemble , no finding suppliers no dropshipping literally buy tubes and some dick confetti but I found the thing to be funny and wanted to send it to my gf's brother because I thought he would appreciate the humor so I bought it.
I guess my point is if you think outside the box and get creative you can make some great money.
This is funny. I'm selling some stuff on ebay right now that has randomly been piling up during the last years and I recently thought by myself that I'm "making" 1 Euro per day on average...

I like what you did here! I am very keen to connect with you to explore what are your ways/strategies you used to make money online!

Hello Rulesforrebels,
possible for you to share with us which platform or avenues you are using to make an income for yourself?
and how can we get started?

Great post with even better commentary. I have a great mental image of your "mining" for coins in your couch! :-P
"not having to have the embaressment of digging 0.21 cents out of my couch cushions"
