Omfg

roxyruby · 12-26-2010, 11:15 PM

so this month December I'm now up to approx $2,560.00 in passive income for this month last time I checked.

Will this amount go up higher for this month?

I am so lucky ^-^

Wow, that's great.

What caused the increase? Did you do something different or was it just Christmas?

scorpio1980 · 12-27-2010, 03:20 AM

That is excellent! Congrats. How did you multiply your monthly passive income so much in one month?

I did not work any harder or do anything different, not that I can think of....just posting tweets and new articles to my website like usual, uploaded a couple more youtube videos like usual,

and instead of the "donate" page i renamed it "thank-you" page

and at the end of each article on my site i wrote a little message asking for donations, and i wrote it in a way like this "donations inspire and motivate me to post new tweets, articles, and videos in a cycle of encouragement and gratitude" something like that but a bit longer

and put a link to my donate page on my youtube channel

so i did that sort of recently

but it was just one person that donated $1,000 then another $1,500, i suppose they felt what i have created and put out there was something really really valuable to them and / or others

funny how one person can make you richer than scores of others donating and purchasing smaller amounts

but thats what happened

dont feel like I'm working, just following my passions and what is fun to me

oh yeah and another thing ive done differently lately is exposing my mind regularly to powerful affirmations / visualizations of what i want (law of attraction)

Roxyruby - You're story is very inspiring! I've enjoyed reading through the progress that you have made in such a short period of time.

I plan to commit lots of time to blogging in the new year!

All the best,
Mike

roxyruby · 12-30-2010, 04:10 PM

yay been making more

made another sale just then

will I make even more passive income for an even bigger total this month?

Xander756 · 12-30-2010, 07:53 PM

Wow roxy you seem to be doing great! I've been checking this thread every so often and I can hardly believe you are making thousands per month now! Is the site you are making money from the one linked in your signature?

roxyruby · 12-31-2010, 03:18 AM

thanks

yes.

Last month I made over $100

i have made thousands of dollars this month.

I will have to wait and see what happens next month.

Yes the website generating this income for me is SociallyPositive.com

It's funny that I got told by an internet business expert that the niche of social anxiety wouldn't work and I should only choose anxiety.

no I don't think it was S.P, the generous donator emailed me and they were clearly someone with social anxiety who just liked my website and stuff I think

unless Oprah or Steve Pavlina got a kick out of pretending to be someone with social anxiety just to give me money and fool me that I really am successful lol

borisg · 12-31-2010, 08:33 AM

Roxy I was wondering how many unique visitors you are currently seeing per month?

CiNz · 12-31-2010, 01:52 PM

Hi RoxyRuby,

Your success is inspirational! Thank you for being so honest and forthright. I wish you all the best for 2011 and continued financial prosperity!

The fact that you went from dollars per month to thousands... is pretty amazing. This internet stuff is just awesome

roxyruby · 12-31-2010, 10:56 PM

thank you!

the website gets about 80-130 unique visitors per day so about 3000 unique visitors per month I guess?

but, a large amount stay for less than 5 seconds!!! about 6 percent stay for longer than an hour.

sometimes lower sometimes higher

in terms of a website that seems low

but when you imagine 80-130 new people physically in a room together each day, it seems like a lot!

roxyruby · 12-31-2010, 10:59 PM

yes internet stuff is amazing

also was about changing limiting beliefs which i have done a lot of

it really seems so simple and easy to make money online now that i know how

roxyruby · 12-31-2010, 11:21 PM

I am just surprised how nice everyone in this thread has been!!!

Wow, a $2500 donation is amazing! I got my first $200 donation this month, but I look forward to providing enough value to warrant larger donations in 2011.

roxyruby · 01-01-2011, 01:59 PM

Adding up my totals for this month

I mean December 2010

Donation Earnings - $2,500

Affiliate Product Earnings - $125.37

Adsense Earnings - $9.26

Stock Photography and Illustrations Earnings - $8.07

Amazon Earnings - $3.48

And I also earned a little bit in Bank interest I guess but have decided to not bother counting that at the moment.

So this comes to a total of $2,646.18

What does this mean?

Does it mean I should take away the google ads on my website and instead in those places place more affiliate product advertisements and donate buttons?

richardxthripp · 01-01-2011, 02:02 PM

Looks like you should focus on donations and affiliate products, but don't push for donations too strenuously because that turns people off.

wow congrats a $200 donation must show you are giving a lot of value!

the largest donation I had received before the $1000 donation was $50 I think so definitely a $1000 then $1,500 donation was totally unexpected compared to the donations I had been receiving

Same here! My largest previous donation was $30 in 2008, and I received a lot of donations in 2010 but they were all $5 or $10... except the $200 donation from Dr. Daniel McNay of Fremont, California on Dec. 19. The donation was for my free stock photography. I guess we are both providing more value, or just getting lucky.

roxyruby · 01-01-2011, 03:02 PM

aha stock photography!

how do you do with that?

I gave it up after realizing I made much more doing Social Anxiety internet business

I put in so much effort, for so little earnings. But I guess that's a way to learn

richardxthripp · 01-01-2011, 09:37 PM

I don't make much either because my work is free for anyone to use, even commercially. It's like what Steve did with his writing recently, except I use the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution license and I've been doing this since 2008. This means people using my photos must credit me with something like "Photography by Richard X. Thripp."

I think you might enjoy writing more than photography, but most articles look better with an image! You could take your own photos and match them up to your articles. Just go for a walk with a camera and take pictures of flowers.

The "thank-you" page should be renamed to "gimme your money, sucker! xD "

Yosako · 01-01-2011, 10:53 PM

Roxy, if it comes to that, I think the design layout of your website sucks big time, it's extremely disorganized.

PD: If you think I'm being blunt, you must take into account that I'm an INTJ and that of course implies being an ass_hole with a direct, no BS approach.

Her site looks okay to me, though I'd kill the tag cloud in the homepage and replace it with a landing page or excerpts from the latest posts.

Lol... someone read a thread or two in the other forum sections about radical honesty.
