It Has Been Awhile!!!

“It has been awhile! Where the h*ll have you been!” was the remarks that I received when I went to an end of the school year party! The other comments were “You brought your spicy chicken didnt you!!…No…. I can not believe you made it past the door go home!” 

Well it has been awhile for me to post on this site as well. The last time I was here I was learning about blogging and thinking about which webhost to go with. 

This is what has happened since my last post.

• I choose Lunarpages as my hosting company.
• I started a webpage called Hipbuddah.com (yes I know it is spelled wrong)
• I started a couple of other blogs that are attached to the hipbuddah site 
• I started a Zencart for Camo gear
• I started a BANs affiliate site (two actually and a third is on the way)
• I began playing with google adwords.
• I also began to build an adult toys site (I lost steam on that on but it is started).

If you read my profile page you would know already that I am a teacher.  I just got out of work on Wednesday June 18th and am getting ready for summer break.

What have I learned so far? Does any of these things work? What does it take to start to make money online?

Well it is alot of time, work and research lots of research. You do meet alot of interesting people along the way which make you either more interested or just plan confused/angry/ticked/happy….well you get my drift.

First let me start off talking about my Zencart store. www.camomax.com

1. Time to set up 5 days (roughly 3 hours a day)
2. Cost – $19 domain name (two years), Zen cart (free), merchant account (paypal free), Secured Certificate (free with paypal)
3. Money made so far – $400

BANs (eBay affiliate site)

1. Cost – $140 (lifetime)
2. Domain $19 (two years)
3. SEO Elite $167 (lifetime)
4. Amount made ($135 so far .5 monthes and growing)

I would say the the BANs (Build a Niche) site right now is more reliable for income. Yet I have not added Camomax.com to a SEO firm.

I will link  BANS for you if want to check it out I recommend it. Im still learning and am not in the position to tell you everything to make a buck all I can say it is time consuming, fun and frustrating.
