It’s been busy over here!

This month (this year, actually) has been off to a great start. Since returning from vacation less than 2 weeks ago, I’ve written 3 guest posts (2 are coming soon!) and started 2 new made for eBay websites. This is all in addition to being a full time grad student and full time IT guy!

Needless to say, I’ve been up late doing all kinds of research for class and working on websites that could help me make some money in the long run. I decided to go ahead and work on these 2 new sites because my first 2 websites have been working well for me so far. Nothing stellar considering that I haven’t spent more than $15 on advertising, but enough to make me want to make more websites. If things work out for these 2 new websites and my extrapolations and calculations go as planned, I could stand to make between $300 or more per month without spending a dime on advertising. I know that’s not retirement money, but it certainly is enough money that I could splurge on some geek things like a new monitor or some fancy website reviews or maybe even go to a blogger conference one of these days.

If things proceed as planned, I will of course spend money on advertising in the hopes of getting more visitors to my sites. As we all know, “traffic is the new gold” so the more people visit my sites the more chances I have that they’ll like what they see and will buy something.

I’m sure you’re wondering how I am making my money on eBay, and I’m going to say that I’ve already told you how I do it. In case you missed class that day (shame on you! Sign up for the RSS feed!), here’s a link to my previous post about making money with eBay. I’m sticking to my plan and the plan is panning out so far. I will continue to work on the SEO of my websites and hope that they get more and more organic traffic each day.
