Websites Developed(in a few cases designed) By Me!

I had started with Fiverr in February 2012 as a way to pass time and also get a little extra money. I had then got my Paypal account and got it verified. I was so excited the day I got the first $3.89 in my Paypal account(I started receiving orders the very same day as when I had created the gig)!

Today, I was just listing all the websites I have created, designed or developed for making a portfolio and I realized there was 38 websites! Around 4 websites per month!!

I could have probably taken a few more jobs, but I always stop working when I feel like my personal life is getting suffocated by work. Lets see whether I can reach 50 websites by February 2013.

Now for the update of the month:

I had last posted an update on October 19th about my earnings. You can visit that post via this link.

Since October 19th till today, October 31st, I have earned another $412.5

And before October 15th, my earning was $247 from all my income sources online.

So then, the total for this month is $789.5 rounding off to $789! Quite impressive but not to my satisfaction! :(

If you add my offline income from my day job of Rs 23500 in hand (after all the deductions), the total is $1240 approximately. Close but not there yet. However the goal is to reach the target via online income only!

The goal is at $1500.

So guys, any words? Use the comment to start a discussion. Everybody reading the post, what is the first thought that cam to your mind after you read this post?

Get .com Domains for Rs 173 only!

Do you want a domain? A .com domain is normally priced at Rs 699 if bought from GoDaddy. But they are running a limited offer for this month only.

You will get a .com domain for a year at only Rs 173. That includes the iCANN registration charge too!

And the offer doesn't end their.. you will get a .info domain for free!

So think of this as a Dussera offer and take full advantage of this! Here is the banner for the offer. Click and let us know in the comments which are the domains you have bought and what are you planning to do with them?





Don't let this offer go away.. you'll regret it otherwise. The first step to a steady online income is to have your own web presence and for that you will need a website. A free hosting service is good but the domain should always be a TLD. So grab your domain today and take the first step to a passive income stream!

Google Analytics has really evolved!

Just now I was thinking about how to get a more detailed view of my traffic sources, so that I can optimize the links I put on different social sites. I remembered I had a Google Analytics account which I had stopped using after the time when the .co.cc domains were banned from Google. I had at that time reached the first page of Google for many keywords. I was getting around 1000 visitors only from Google using a .co.cc free domain that was only a couple of months old.

So I logged in to the GA account and I was really surprised at the great new interface presented in front of me. It took me two minutes to get accustomed to where they had put all the options. It was intuitive, and I really liked a couple of features.

For example the Real-time visitor tracking was awesome!

So enough about that but what I am actually here to talk about is that every webmaster needs a Google Analytics account, or for that matter any of the analytics you are comfortable with works. Because you have to know where you are getting your customers from and from where you are not getting any traffic. After that strengthen the tactics from where you are already receiving traffic and look into why you are getting from the other sources. With a couple of trials and errors I am sure you'll get the hang of it!

Analytics tools are lifeline for a webmaster, because if you cannot optimize the sources of traffic then people will never actually reach your website and then the whole reason for creating the website is lost. You wouldn't wish that even for your enemies, right?

So those of you who have already created a website, go ahead and integrate GA into your website and you'll thank me someday!! ;)

My New Domains!

At an unbelievable price of just Rs 173, I got two domains!!!

1st: www.wpdevworks.com
2nd: www.wpdevworks.info

A Little Update And A Small Tip

Well, I don't think I'll be crossing the set limit this month.

The total earning from October 15th to today October 18th has been only a measly $130. While that is not even a distinguished enough sum of money for a few marketers or online earners, I guess there are still many who are looking forward to cross their first $50 mark even. So don't take this lightly.

The toughest job in the online world is to make your first dollar. Many of the newbies fizz out even before making that first dollar. That is because their minds are still too fickle.

Here's a tip for all the guys looking for making some money online.

"An ounce of action is worth more than a ton of theory"

 

So its very good if you are learning new methods, but take my advice and start taking action! Take one method, learn all the ins and outs of it. But don't keep waiting or procrastinating. Keep doing the things that you are learning. You won't actually learn until you start practicing.

So if you are looking forward to making a presence as a web developer, I'll suggest you start making small HTML pages. That way whenever a client asks you to show your portfolio, you'll have something to show to them. You won't be like, "Sorry, I am new and I don't have anything to show you right at this moment." No one likes to hire a newbie without seeing their work. So start building your portfolio.

Buy a domain, get a free server and you'll never regret the amount invested.

Use Register.com with the coupon code: Reg250tj to get a domain at a discounted price of $2.50

Also for free server use 20gbfree.com to host the domain. Its one of the best free hosting service. I have personally used it for a year before moving on to Hostgator.

However in case you are ready to take a premium server on Hostgator (the best premium hosting service), use the following coupon codes to avail awesome discounts in the first billing cycle:

1. buyfrmsarkar : This will get you a Baby plan at 1cent for the first month.
2. buyfrmsarkar25: This will get you 25% off on the first billing cycle. This is the best plan if you take hosting for a year.
3. buyfrmsarkarreseller: If you are looking forward to get a reseller account to start your own hosting service or selling the websites created by you including hosting, you'll get $24.94 off!

So take action and don't look back!

The Beginning of a Journey to be Remembered

So now that I have already decided to reach the $1500 mark, let's set a time frame. Say about 2 to 3 months. It will need some ass-kicking dedication and a lot of work. That said, I will now let you know what my current status is regarding online earnings.

MY CURRENT STATUS:

1. Current online income: $400 to $500.
2. Source of income: Freelancing as a Web-Developer.
3. Passive income: $0.

So, I am already pulling in around $500 per month. But let's say, with the way the market is trending it will not be enough to keep me afloat! :D

Now here's the plan of action I have thought about:

• Work as a freelancer.
• Simultaneously polish up my PHP and Javascript
• Start a new website for providing Wordpress development services.
• Make a few videos for promoting and post them on Video sharing services (will also contribute to link building).
• Start developing themes and sell them on different market places.
• Start building a few web-based apps and sell them

So, what do you think about this plan of action?

Let me know what you think, or if you have a few suggestions through the comment section.

A Fresh Start!

Well, I am no more a student now. Finished college and now am working in Larsen and Toubro, Hydropower Department as an engineer.

Lots has happened after my last post. Phew, it has been a really long time since I made a post here. I had almost forgotten about it. So today, I thought, why not use this as a personal diary?

So I changed the blog description from "A perfectly lazy life of an imperfect Hostelite" to "Let's make some money online!".

You'll see hundreds of posts online in forums and other blogs, trying to sound all "Guru" and trying to sell you stuff. I don't know whether they have tried it out or not. However, I won't be selling stuff blindly to you.

SO WHAT'S THIS FRESH START ABOUT?

Well, I have chosen a goal for myself. I want to reach $1500  per month in online earnings. I'll be documenting what I am doing and will be trying to update this blog everyday. So if people who are looking for some inspiration to earn online, keep tuned in to my blog.

And give me your opinions and whether you are doing something and its working. SO help me out guys!
I'll reach the goal.. That's a promise!
