Wow..time sure flies when you are having fun (or in this case, making money online..) I only realised that it has been a year already when the domain & hosting renewal reminder emails showed up in the inbox.

The picture below is a screenshot of my total adsense earnings from 13th April 2007 til 22nd April 2008. The amount is huge for me, what turn out to be a part time venture is now turning into one of my main source of income.

A staggering USD 7,646.93 in my first year!. This is only for adsense since it is still the biggest contributor to my earnings. I would not have believe it if someone told me that I can make that much from just making blogs and websites. Not bad for freshy in this MMO field right?

So, what did I buy with the money from this online business?

As usual, it is always a good action to save some for ‘rainy days’ that we cannot anticipated. But I couldn’t resist the temptation to buy some new gadgets for myself. Some of the things that I bought the past year:

1. Samsung 22″ LCD Monitor-RM1090
   
2. 2GB Kingmax DDR2 667 PC RAM-RM129
3. HTC Touch PDA Phone-RM1599
4. 3-in-1 Canon MP145 Colour Printer-RM240
5. Adjustable Chair and office table-RM290
6. Casio EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-V7 Digital Camera-RM599

More dream gadgets in the future:

1. VGN-CR35G Sony Laptop-RM4488 —end of May 2008
2. Sony Erricson K800i for wife. -RM799 —end of April 2008

Being a tech junkie and also someone who makes a living teaching something that revolves Information Technology and programming languages, it is easily to be influenced to buy new IT&Tech gadgets every now and then. No thanks to my tech savvy friends and students.

I am sure there is more ways to first maintain and then improve the earnings and one thing for sure is to keep on working hard. Nothing is easy especially earning money, if you thought money will fall from the sky the moment you make your first blogspot blog then you are very wrong.

So that’s all, gotta update my other blogs.

Cheers.
