You Really Can Make Money Online!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in here for the last week. A lot has happened. I made my first bit of money online since starting this blog, about $45 bucks. A forum posting site was a little late with my payment, but they did pay. Also, I was introduced to something called "content writing". You write articles for various clients on a variety of subjects, and they pay you money!

Forty five dollars is what I have been paid, but I have about sixty five more coming my way as of right now. I know it's not enough to make a living from, but it's a positve step towards that goal! I'm really excited.

I did have to take a wage paying job, but as my writing income keeps growing, I think this will be temporary.

How much money can you make online?

It's been about a week since I posted in here, and I wanted to give an update.

The site where I was supposed to get paid per post, for posting on message boards hasn't paid me yet. I've made about 35 bucks there.

On EBay, I don't have anything worth listing there.

The site I joined where I get paid to post ads on my other blog is going well. I've made $8.50 for one post, but it's been hard to find posts I qualify for. I won't get paid the $8.50 for about a month.

The paid to review site was a washout for me, they don't want to pay more than 40 cents per movie review, and they are worth more than that to me. I've made about $6.80 there, but I'll never see it because it's a $50 payout.

So, I should have about 43 bucks coming to me, but I haven't got it yet. I've found that making money online is not an overnight thing, it's something you have to work at.

Get Paid to Write Posts About Products on Your Blog?

I joined a site that says I can get paid to write about products on my blog. How it works is, companies put in an order for posts, and if you are a member of the club you can go to a listing of orders.

Here's the drawbacks. The higher rated blogs make the most money. Google has a Ranking system going from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest. The lower your blog ranks, the less money you will make. Also, your blog needs to have been around 90 days and have 30 posts. Once you submit your blog for approval, it takes them about 30 days to give you a yes or no. Accounts are paid VIA paypal, and I don't know what the minimum payout is.

I am currently waiting for my blog to be approved, and if this site is legit I think I can make about 35 bucks a week with a #2 ranked blog.

As I said before, this site is to track my progress making money online, and two weeks later I don't have a dime from it. I don't think the whole idea is bogus, but it's definitely not instantaneous.
