October was the first month when I actually sat down and decided to rinse multiple sources of income. I decided to push myself in the one area I am best at – writing content – while also keeping up with other ways of making money.

By changing my focus from becoming an online entrepreneur to being primarily a content writer, my earnings this month have been reasonable. In previous months, most of my income has been from link sales, but I’ve moved onto exploiting other sources.

I didn’t just make money blogging this month, I made money from a number of different places on the internet. Here’s a screenshot from my Paypal this month.

As you can see (kind of), for this one-month period, I was paid a little over $650 to my Paypal. Add onto that the Adsense check I lost, which was for a bit over $100, and $200 paid into my bank account, and it’s not been a bad month.

I think what this demonstrates is that focus is essential. I spent too long wasting my time with dead blogs and $5 reviews. I also had a LOT of work offered this month from people expecting me to write for ridiculously small sums of money. I won’t sell myself short and, as I say to these people, if I offer my services for so little in return, I end up wasting my time.

What I’ve learned this month is that we can’t all be Internet entrepreneurs. Some of us are just better and other things, and without that drive to be an online guru, it’s really a waste of time and effort.
