I am sure everyone can’t wait for year 2010 and there is much more on Make Money Online posts from famous bloggers, upcoming bloggers and also bloggers who gave up after 4 weeks in the year of 2009. So I thought that it may be great to take a poll on how everyone done this year? If you have set your target for year 2009, did you achieve them?

Despite the economy downturn, my online venture have increase. I did pretty well on the second half of the year, but I spend much more too on stuff like various new php scripts, more domains, advertisements, some gadgets, and also my semi-dedicated hosting with Serverfreak. Hopefully I will be able to pocket some earning in the future.

Also, I have got some income from Affiliate marketing for the very first time, it is some extra and got some money stucked at paypal waiting for a bigger sum to be withdraw later.

I can’t tell you guys how many times I hear or read this on other blogs, newspapers, emails or even from friends. It is partially true because blogging does make you some residual income. Provided you made quite a some good post that keeps people from coming back to your blog. I have been pretty lazy the past 2 weeks and most of my blogs and websites are not quite updated, nevertheless, income does remain pretty steady and does not drop, of course, I could not do this for months like what most people would say, financial freedom.

I do make money while sleeping are mainly because of:-

1. Years of blog post inside this and most of my other blogs.
2. Quality blog post does make people come back for more.
3. I am always thinking of new ideas or posts that are different from the mainstream but does get pretty good search.
4. Persistant throughout the years of posting with little to no income.
5. Years of experience in SEO and Internet Marketing.

Okay, this is not intentional as I was spending some time with my family and daugther, some time on my job, and helping my wife with some new business. Although I may not be as successful as those big time blogger but I am still doing pretty decent on my online empire.

As always, whoever pay us more we like them right? This is partially true because Google Adsense is still my highest earner. Previously I did started well with Kontera but income slips to cents/day altough traffic does increases and I felt trap because my earning is at $50.00+ but the payout is only at $100.

Chitika is a totatly different advertisements system, a little similar to amazon ads and having some inteligent to detect the source of the traffic from search engine by showing relating products or services. Chitika is pretty fair because they do not appear if there is no related ads and if the traffic is coming from non-paying region, the advertisements does not appear as well.

The ads look like this but they have quite a lot of different sizes and different type of advertisements that you could do try out on your blog.

Best of all, minimum payout is only $10.00  (via paypal) and $50.00 (via Check). I am using paypal because I could use them to purchase domain and pay hosting easily. Anyway there is method to withdraw from Paypal if the money starts piling up in Paypal. Payment is okay, one month after you accumulated the trashold (USD10 if you are using paypal).

So far, Chitika is not earning as much as Kontera as I have receives my first payment from Kontera, but Chitika was only installed one one of my blog and Kontera is actually installed on 2. With this rate, I am sure that Chitika will pickup pretty quickly.

If you are a blogger who wants to earn some small money for domain and hosting, you should check out Chitika.

p/s This is my personal Chitika Review, you have have a different experience.
