So July 2009 has come and pass and many intersting things have happened. The month of July is a memorable month for me as this is the first time the Big G will be paying me! It took 3 months for me to reach the payout threshold and hopefully it would take me less time to do so in the future. Here is proof that the Big G is paying me (as of this writing I have already gotten the payout via Western Union):

So my little sideline has paid off!

Now a little of statistics. I’ll go over my earnings for the month of July for my various earning channels:

Adsense Earnings: $52.53
Infolinks Earnings: $2.75
Chitika Earnings: $9.44 (not bad…)

I am taking the The Keyword Academy course online and am following their system. Using it, I have created 4 sites that have yet to earn some income. This is due to their being new. Let us see next month what happens with this 4 sites.

Last month I said that I will create 5-10 more niche sites and be earning $100/month. I failed on both counts But hopefully I can reach my goals for August by being more realistic. Here are my new goals for August:

• Create 2-3 new sites
• Take care of already created sites by backlinking
• Increase online earnings from $50/month to around $70-$90 /month.

So I’ll write another update next month and hopefully I would have achieved my August goals by then.

So here we are again, another month has passed by and we are back to looking back to what we have accomplished the past month of June. The month of June is certainly interesting. In this month, I have learned a lot of things and started some things that might lead to something good in our quest to earn online. I have joined several forums that claim to teach you the essentials of doing so. In my first few weeks there, it certainly has proved to be an invaluable source of information.

This is also a significant month for me since this would be the month I have surpassed the $100 Adsense mark! Woot!!! So here are my earnings for various sources of online income:

Adsense Earning to received next month – $142.06
Adsense June Earnings – $60
Chitika June Earnings – $16.21
All-time Chitika Earnings – $20.91
Affiliate June Earnings – $5.74
Infolinks June Earnings – $3
All-time Infolinks Earnings – $5.49

The earnings above come from only 2 sites. So what I am planning to do is add more site and theoretically, the earnings should increase. I have also accomplished the following on the month of June:

• setup 3 niche sites
• create high quality backlinks to one of the niche sites
• took on the hubpages challenge

I know that is not so much of an accomplishment. This is because I still have a day job. But we’ll schedule things and work things out.

As for my blog’s statistics here they are:
7807 Unique Visitors
13476 Page Views

So each passing month this blog takes on a giant leap in terms of traffic. Also, I am planning to make this blog a sort of journal of my online earning endeavor, like what I have already done but in a more active manner. I do not know how yet but I’ll think of something.

So that’s it for June’s statistics update. While here are my goals for the month of July:

• create 5-10 more niche sites
• increase online earnings to around $100/month

Let us keep it simple. So see you again with our next update.

I will be dedicating this post to swine flu updates.

Swine flu is expected to make a comeback with rage this winter. That is why swine flu vaccines are being readied before that season of reckoning.

Obese and highly stressed people have a higher probability of mortality based from statistics retrieved from those infected and killed. So better shed off those pounds and start working smartly (to reduce stress…) and you might avoid the A(H1N1) wrath.

Can getting the mild version of the swine flu immunize you against a stronger version of it? Some people definitely think so and are even discussing holding swine flu parties. Definitely one party I do not want to go to…

06/27/2009
Is the swine flu in the process of mutating into a more lethal virus? First China, now back to New York.

A(H1N1) cases in RP rise to 861.
06/22/2009
First Asian swine flu related casualty is a Filipina. Though she did not die because of the swine flu (she officially died of heart failure, a pre-existing heart disease she had), it seems those at a higher rate of mortality are those who are already sick beforehand.

06/21/2009
A mother loses the battle against swine flu and fails to hold her newborn baby who also died (but not from swine flu).

Some companies are taking advantage of the swine flu pandemic and are selling herbal supplements to ward off the swine flu virus.

06/20/2009
In my last post, A(H1N1) Antigenic Shift, we saw that the current swine flu is a mild one. However, the virus is slowly mutating into a more lethal one as seen in China. This same scenario was last seen in the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 that killed 50-100 million people worldwide.

Possible first swine flu death from the asia pacific region. Man who was diagnosed with multiple serious ailments (including the swine flu) has died. Should we be alarmed?

Good news! As of 06/19/2009, 76% of those afflicted with swine flu in the Philippines are now healthy and fine!

The Swine Flu is now designated a Level 6 Pandemic as reported on CNN. This though does not mean that the virus is more potent but it means that it literally cannot be stopped from spreading and thus countries not yet affected by this plague should be more vigilant in slowing things down.

Individually, we can also do our part. Here are 2 PDFs that will teach us the proper steps we should take to minimize the risk of acquiring the said flu:
