How My Blog Earned $83,358 In December 2008: Why Don’t Others Detail Their Income, Economy’s Got Their Tongue?

Watch these 7 free video lessons on how I became a millionaire

Oh yes, this is an all-time high for me, blowing away my previous record of $70,000 in August 2008.

Read the notes below it and see how they compare to September’s $53,000 month, another $50k in October and November’s $66k….oh yes, trend followers can see my business is growingggggg:

December 2008: $83,358

$20,229 TIMalerts

$27,688 Instructional DVDs

$29,407 Advertising & Affiliates

$2,084 An American Hedge Fund

$3,950 Trading Profits

Notes:

TClemans won my monthly income guessing contest (Price Is Right rules, closest without going over wins), congrats, you win a free autographed copy of my book An American Hedge Fund, yeahhhhhh!

Instructional DVD sales were helped by all my new DVDs…they kick ass and people love ‘em…Trainee Trader has the first detailed review of TIMraw HERE, in short he says “It is evident throughout this DVD series that Tim knows his stuff when it comes to the Penny Stock niche. In the fast pace world of finance a new guru pops up every few months and then fades into obscurity. Tim’s profits and trades are well documented and transparent and his blog details the day-to-day happenings and events, which are pertinent to PennyStockers. I was very impressed with this DVD it is packed full of trading wisdom.”

My affiliate program is really starting to grow…nowhere near INO-type #s, but it’s going well…guys, I detail all my trades/testimonials each and every day so you have content to promote each and every day…you get a 25% cut of sales…signup today!

In no way shape or form are these exact numbers, too much stuff going on to keep track every single day, although they are pretty damn close….maybe I’ll post my tax returns later on!

Also, this isn’t my personal income as my web designer/business partner Pallian takes various cuts and it costs a bit to produce the DVDs/maintain our growing websites so my personal profit….I’d say my cut is like $60-$65k.

Advertising/affiliate revenue/income–this stuff is pure profit, hence the variety of ‘make money online’ blogs/”experts”/typical BS/liars/cheats/frauds–really surged mostly on the back of a ton of new signups at Thinkorswim–probly because people are realizing that they have the best executions/customer service around so it’s better to pay $10/trade for all their goodies rather than $5/trade for crappy brokers like Scottrade (You with that Scottrade account!)

As much as people rip on PennyStocking, it keeps pumping out a few grand in steady trading profits each month–I’m nowhere near the ceiling, I’m just trading with a poor person’s account to show how much money a poor person can make using my strategy–which is the ideal way in which my strategy should be used, not to “get rich”, just a little extra money here and there when the trading setups are worthy.

My book surged nicely, especially audiobook sales on Audible/iTunes, probly because people are beginning to realize my strategy actually has merit, especially considering my 200%+ yearly return, which is much more than I can say for the overpopulated value investing arena–how are those -35%, -40%, -45% returns treating you boring/weird value investors LOL

$84k/month now puts me on track for a $1 million/year sales level…and consider if I do that in sales, I personally earn something like $700-$800k….just let that sink in for a sec…and now remember my stuff is doubling every few months…

Wait for my post advising other financial/make-money-online bloggers to share ALL their income, those cowardly bastards need a wakeup call–if you like how open I am, please send this post around to anyone who you think is being a little bitch and not detailing their numbers in areas in which they’re supposed to be experts!

    I’m stunned. I just guessed out of thin air and then started thinking I was guessing like 30K over. Very impressive Mr. Sykes.

    P.S. To Chris who posted his guess on the blog, had you just simply followed the rules you probably would have won. “$80k and change”

    Hey Tim,

    I’m trying to make my new Blog an affiliate site. I tried submitting the form, but didn’t receive a confirmation e-mail. I hope I didn’t mess Pallian up when I filled out the form a second time. I’m sure he has enough on his $600/plate ;)

    @Dadi…Maybe you can develop some insults that don’t make you sound like a 14 year old. Figures there would be at least one douche to try and say something to live up to their persona.

    I wish I would have guessed, 83k was one of the amounts I was tossing around when I first read the article.

    Nice earnings man, i think i am going to have to start posting my own estimated earnings as well. I don’t think it is cowardly when people don’t show earnings, a lot of blog money earnings lie big time about it anyway, i just find to me it is not that big a deal when you are making money online..

    I have to say very well done on your earnings in december.. :)

    The reason most people do not talk about how much they make is simple. They are under-reporting to the IRS. Go on a blog and say you made 80K and you better fill in 80k in the little box or men in suits and sunglasses show up.

    It doesn’t matter that all of those MMO blogs are making $X because they usually have roundabout way of discussing how THEY make money. It is quite useless to the general audience. You actually make money by providing useful services that people CAN use. It’s a REAL BUSINESS!

    Congratulations on the new record!
