I still think it's amazing that anybody can make money online with a little know-how. Keep in mind that I have 5 children that I homeschool, so running an online business is definitely more of a hobby, and I haven't devoted time each day to it - or even each week.
But in the last few months, I've been paid 68 cents from Google Adsense (that's just the single ad I have on this blog, which no one reads!) and a whole dollar from Squidoo. (I like Squidoo. I might make more lenses if I ever have time).
I think making dollars and cents online can be kind of an addiction. Obviously what I've done so far has little value and doesn't even pay for the power to run the servers for all those "clicks." But somehow it gives me the same little thrill I got when I was a kid and returned the cans I found on the side of the road to the grocery store for the deposit, bought a Sprite, then twisted off the cap to discover I'd won another Sprite! I felt like I was in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Oh yeah, and I also made a sale at my eCRATER store, which was entirely self-propelled because I hadn't touched it in weeks. So that was pretty awesome.
Let's see, I sold a domain name for $15 that I think actually came free with my hosting package, so that probably was my biggest profit so far. :) Pretty silly, I know. But I still think I'm learning just by watching and dipping my toes in..
