Hey

I thought I would ask this question and share our views and income on what we make online.

I make about $20-30 a week online that is excluding the $80 I currently have on adsense.

I just do little jobs like forum posting/helping others and selling hosting to some people.
 
Well I don't do very much of that stuff,

My adsense revenue has always been quite low,

The internet is not while to be all the time..

But, sometimes, Like on DP, I can get $1 for sign-up or something.

But, I don't like spending all the time on it...

Fast money is the good thing about the internet..
 
Amen. There is fast money available all over the internet, you just have to find it. with adsense I earn about $3 per day in hopes that number will rise when i get ranked in Google.
 
$3??? How are you even getting that?

I got that when I had a proxy that got hits,
then I thought morals and deleted the proxy...

I don't do any google adsense or anything (I tried to do the google thing and lost money), but I do sell banner space on one of my sites... which generates about $600/mo. right now.
 
Since opening my business paypal account, which only I use, I have made £1,200. I opened the account in september of last year, so that probably works out at what, £200 per month?
 
I can make good money offering my web services, but I don't have a lot of time for it anymore.
This site doesn't make much right now, I only have 1 small banner in the post to guest.
I'm sure it'll make some money one of these days.

$600 a month is not bad for banner space. Affiliate or paid positioning? On what volume of traffic?

Paid Positioning. I use the right side ad hack, and have several down that side of the forum. My site only has around 2300 members, with about 25,000 posts. It has arouns 100 members/couple hundred guests on throughout the day.
 
Well, any amount of residual income is good. One big step is to simply compare the amount of time it takes to generate it (personal time in) compared with the actual earnings. That makes it very easy to get an hourly compensation estimate.

However, it also depends on how much you do for actual enjoyment and how much you actually consider work. =)

Tim Ferriss (4 Hours Work Week guy) recently got questioned by a reader that noticed he seemed to spend a lot more than 4 hours a week on his projects. Tim responded something to the effect of:

The part I consider work is in the right time range. But much of it I do for fun.

I think that's a real pervasive attitude in forums. The best ones are run by people so into the topic that they just really enjoy the time spent with the community. Unless their earnings are really high, the compensation isn't really on par with their commitment if you just look at it like an hourly job.

That part is key for me. While I try to make each forum I open make money, I don't do it for income purposes. I do it simply because I have opened the forum related to topics I enjoy, such as LSU sports, Bodybuilding, and my newest soon to be forum New Orleans Saints football. As long as I can make enough money off each forum to pay for itself, ie., server costs, logos, and other forum work I personally can't do myself... I consider it a success.
 
Around 100-150$/month a major portion of it comes from things like backlink building, forum posting etc which I do for others.
 
I make a nice amount (heck of a lot more) then I did when I started in this thread LOL.
