As you all know last month I set my goal at $1,000.00 for the month of October because I just missed the 1k mark last month at $960.00 or so dollars. I worked very hard this month to beat the 1k goal and I am proud to say that it has been obliviated!

I told you all before I work way better and harder when I have a goal and as I stated above this month was no exception. Here is the break down and below that is the total for the month, below that I will talk about expenses!

  • Tbs-Tz Reviews (8) = $95.00
  • CubeCartSupport.com Sales (2) = $20.00
  • BizShoppingCart Review (2) = $22.50
  • Student Credit Card Review = $12.50
  • IncorparateFast.com Review = $10.00
  • FiguresandGifts Cubecart Skin + Coding = $500.00
  • PublishSpace.com Signups = $10.00
  • BlueBeat Wordpress Theme Plug = $20.00
  • Hostgator Affiliate Sales (1) = $50.00
  • Hshighlights /kidzwonder = $100.00
  • Zoomerang.com Review = $25.00
  • RitcherStudios.com Review = $15.00
  • NetKlix 125 x 125 Banner = $20.00
  • Robo Hosting 125 x 125 Banner = $20.00
  • TextLinkAds = $7.28
  • LandAirSea GPS Tracking Review = $20.00
  • EverythingOutlet Review = $20.00
  • All Fivas CubeCart Skin = $180.00
  • FabForex.com Review = $10.00
  • EverythingOutlet.com Sponsorships = $150.00
  • LogoBang.com Review (2) = $25.00
  • TheCarConnection.com Review = $20.00
  • Sensational.com Review = $15.00
  • DP Sig Sale = $15.00
  • CTSWholeSaleSunglasses.com Review = $30.00
  • Bathroomsonline.biz Cubecart Store Fixes = $85.00
  • SportsLease.com.au Cubecart Skin = $275.00
  • PepperJamNetwork.com Review = $10.00
  • FamousKidz CC Skin = $200.00 (Pending)
  • MacAppDaily.com Wordpress Theme = $125.00 (pending)
  • Alliance-Enviro.com Review = $17.50
  • VIPWebTraffic.com Review = $30.00 (posting next month but paid)
  • MORE COMING SOON!

Total = $1829.78

As you can see I beat my 1k goal this month by over $800.00 and in my book that’s obliviating the $1,000.00 goal I had set! I reached my goal and now comes the fun part “trying to match or beat this months goal”.

nullWhat I am going to do is take the last two months which is $960.00 and $1,829.78 and combine the two numbers which gives me $2,789.78 and I will divide that by two to give me an average monthly earnings which is $1,394.89!

Basically this next months goal will be to make $1400.00 online or more! If I can do that I will still beat my monthly average which is what really all about anyways “consistency”.

Now this month I did have a couple of expenses but I got off rather cheap because my normal day job pays my rent and such so I don’t have to worry about that. Here are my months expenses online…

  • New Camera = $300.00
  • Firewire Cable = $3.50

Basically I spent $303.50 this month, if I take that away from my monthly total I actually made $1,526.28 in profit! Not to bad for a start up money maker on the net?

If I had to guess I would say I actually worked no longer then 5-10 hrs per week to make that. I have a lot of down time that I hope will soon be filled with work but as the jobs and such continue to grow so will the income!

Oh I think its also important to mention that this last week of October I only made about $150 so the larger portion was made in the first 3 weeks of the month.

Most likely because people got their paychecks and then they wanted work done and I happen to be available! I hope you all had a good October like I did and hopefully we can all continue to grow and do better!

Remember, patients is key I have been at this online game for years and just recently started making it a business instead of pleasure. Your time will come if you stay focused and on the job!

    Hey Nikhil. Heres a little guidance. Go to DigitalPoint and do backlinks jobs. Its not awesome money, but you could make at least $300 a month doing it. I make money by doing that and flipping websites.

  16. make money online Says:

    Very nice report for the month of October. Something that you had mentioned in a response to a comment above strikes me as important…having a portfolio set-up. I am slowly adding more and sites to my portfolio. I am using a reseller account now just in case I decide to flip a few of my newer sites once their backlinks get validated.

  17. Salwa Says:

    Congratulations on smashing your October target, Shannon! You must be absolutely thrilled. It’s clear from your breakdown how much work you put in there to achieve that. Did you think you’d surpass it by such a large margin or was it a surprise to you when you finally counted it all up?

  18. Funny Icons Says:

    Wow. Congrats.

    I can’t wait until I am making that much per month.

  19. Lazy Slacker Says:

    You are right - to be profitable online you must be patient and consistent.

    Have a plan and execute it day in and day out.

    Only then will you see any profits.

  21. Shannon Lilly Says:

    I did not think I would smash it like that, I knew I would reach it but by over $800? I don’t think so!
