Target Reached - yippeedeedoodah.
I forgot to update my targets. Some readers will know that I set my yearly target at $50k, and then broke this down to earning $137 per day. $50k is quite a good wage in the USA, and equates to about £27k GBP - again this is quite a good wage. My aim was to make this solely from my online adventures, most of which are AIS.
I'm pleased to announce that I reached this target at the end of July, therefore any money earned during August thru December will be the cherry on top of the cake.
Now that I have reached my stated target, I am going to go expand my portfolio of web-properties once again. I intend getting rid of the sites that take up too much of my time, and creating other sites that should run themselves (eg selling products).
Of course, my profit margin is quite high (as most of the products I sell are digital), however I have had quite a lot of expenses this year, particularly domain names and also the cost of my programmer. So, although $50k target reached sounds good, in reality it is quite a lot less (particularly when taking into account expenses and tax).
I'm not going to re-align my target, as this would be pretty pointless. I'll just keep on trucking until the end of the year and then see what Father Christmas brings me in terms of profit for the annum.

That is awesome! Did you expect to reach it this early?

Nice! You might do the $100k at that rate

That is an impressive number to reach in such a relatively short period of time. Few blogs I read contain such success stories of online business ventures. I'm sure next years target will be double if not more than this years.

Dave; no, to be honest I thought that 50k for the whole year would be about right (based on last years figures).
Dave J; ya never know
Andrew; cheers.
