Millionaire Quest: Riding the wave

Hey Folks!

I know it appears that I haven't been as active as I've used to be. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Last time I mentioned that I acquired a brilliant idea. Well it is now bearing fruit. Today I made more in adsense revenue than I did for all time. Okay, that still doesn't say much, considering I haven't even hit $5 yet.

But I feel good! I expect things will continue to escalate over the next 10 weeks. Alright, by now you're probably wondering what I've been up to. Well let me clue you in.

As most of you know, the show American Idol is now in season. The popularity of that show is phenomenal. So I thought it would be good if I could capitalise on its popularity and ride the wave. Well that's just what I'm doing. So as of last week, I acquired some domain names to suit the purpose, and since then I've built a decent little site that is growing and gaining in popularity. I just need to make sure that I make more from the site than what I spent on domain names.

Oh, the other program (ie. the HYIPs) I'm in are still alive and well. I'm expecting a big payout next week. Will continue to keep you posted. Stay tuned...

Millionaire Quest: Stepping it up!

Good Day All.

It has almost been a while since I last updated you. Well it's about time, as I've decided to step things up a notch.

I have been observing a program that gives serious returns in very short time. I've been assured that the program admin is not a scammer. Therefore, I went through the process to fund my e-currency account. I'm pleased to report that I've dumped $500 into this gig. I'm expecting it and a lot more to be returned in a couple weeks. I'll keep you posted on that.

The 60% project I spoke of before which I have some small investment in, still calls out to me to add more. So I still left some money in my e-currency account, for the purpose of adding to this. I haven't done it yet, as there might be some other interesting programs coming on stream shortly. So I'll wait just a bit to see whether to send the remainder of my funds into the sound 60% venture, or whether to diversify into the new vehicles.

One other thing. I mentioned last time that I am reading The One Minute Millionare. Well while reading it, I came up with what I think is another brilliant idea. I'm trying to capitalise on it right now. I hope to say more on this next time. If all goes well, it will be a nice boost in this quest of mine to millionaire status.

My other projects are still in the works, but this brilliant idea must take priority, as it is time sensitive.

Until next time...

Millionaire Quest: Brief Update

Good Day All!

As it is a new month, I wanted to give you an idea of how well my adsense program has been doing, and a little update on what I'm up to.

For the month of February, I made 0 with adsense. That's right, ZERO! That's not going to pay the bills. But I still expect this to pick up, and that I will have great things to report in the days and months to come.

As pertaining to the HYIP I spoke about, which returns close to 60% per month, things do look good indeed. I have not yet gotten back my principal, as I decided to compound everything the first month. Actually, things are looking so great I'm tempted to put a lot more in.

The program with the pre-IPO still looks promising. The particular stock has continued to climb since I last reported.

A forex programme that I'm in, which lost 70% of the money I had in it last year, seems to be turning things around now. They made almost 20% last month. Of course, I'm still deep in the red in that, but if this new trading strategy continues with such results, then things should get back to normal in reasonable time.

I just got the book, The One Minute Millionaire. Seems good so far. As you would imagine, a lot of what is expounded in it, I was already onto. But it helps to motivate, and clarify concepts that were still forming in my mind.

So that's where things are now. Still on track for making the extra $500 per month, in some months time. I'm considering speeding this up, so I can move on to making the million. I'll keep you updated on my actions.

Millionaire Quest: Update on one of my investments

Greetings Folks!

I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you. Lots of things just managed to get in the way.

Anyhow, I mentioned in an entry a couple weeks ago, that I hoped to have some good news regarding one of the programs I'm in. Well I'm happy to report that I indeed do have the good news.

Remember I mentioned that when I first got sucked into the world of HYIPs, the first program I actually joined turned out to be legitimate? I also explained how they had a little set back, and so things were moving slowly. Ok, let me give you a clearer idea of what happened.

This particular HYIP (they actually don't like to be regarded as a HYIP btw), basically invests in various kinds of opportunities. I can't give much details, as that would violate the terms of agreement. But what I will say, is that one of their investment vehicles was a pre-IPO. That is, they got the opportunity to purchase shares of a company before the company actually went public (or got listed on the stock market).

The advantage to this kind of deal is they get to purchase at a very special low price. If the company is any good, the price is expected to go up significantly once it gets listed on the market. So naturally I was excited to be part of this opportunity.

I scrounged up some funds (this was back in late 2005), and directed it into this HYIP. The stock actually got listed on the market within a few months, which is really a short time frame for this sort of thing. Well the market must have realised that I was involved. For as soon as it went public, it only briefly went a bit higher than the price I was in for, but it quickly took a plunge only to get worse as the months went by. So this caused progress in this HYIP to slow down significantly.

Well, the good news is that over the last month and a half, the stock price has been climbing significantly. I am pleased to report that the value is now more than twice what I got in for. And supposedly, after next month, it is likely to escalate a lot more.

Now it still has a lot lot lot more to go before this one investment will give me any meaningful return. However, the HYIP itself is almost in a position to get the ball rolling again. This should contribute significantly to my millionaire quest.

Ok, that's all for now.

For The Girls: Priceless Education

Hello Girls.

As you know, I've been looking out for your best interest, and have gone out of my way in the past to help you in your quest to get the guy. Well, I came upon a valuable resource recently that I believe every girl should take note of. So it is with great delight that I present the following to you:

A Must For All Girls!

Now go put this lesson into practice.

Millionaire Quest: Progress Report

Good Day All.

As you know, I am attempting to make an extra $500 USD per month, outside of my regular salary. And as I said in my last entry, I'm for now focusing on adsense and hyips. So what I want to do here, is just give you an idea of how close I am to meeting this goal.

With adsense, I am not allowed to say how much I'm making from it, so I'm kinda restricted here. However, what I can say, is that the minimum required before I can actually request a cash-out, is $100, and at the rate I'm going, it could take several years before I see a dime from this income generating vehicle.

For the HYIP I referred to that I recently placed a small amount in, I happened to have gotten some positive news last week from the admin of the program. So as a result, I added some more funds to it. Still not as much I would want to, but if I am to deposit anymore, I will need to go through a longer and somewhat tedious process to transfer the money, as I don't have anymore money in my e-currency (e-gold) account now. So if I don't insert new funds into it, to get back my principal and start making $500 each month, should take me some months (probably 5 or 6). This is of course assuming the program doesn't crash prematurely.

Oh yes, one of the other programs I joined is now looking to show some positive results soon. Hopefully I can give a nice update on that later this week.

Aside from all the above, I have ideas. I'm always coming up with ideas, and I think I have some good ones in store. I have to put some more time into building up my adsense revenue (ie. increasing traffic to my sites) before I start pursuing these other ideas though.

So overall, things are looking really nice. I can say I'm on my way in my quest to becoming a millionaire. Might be a little too early though to say well on my way. But it's still some progress, I think.

Millionaire Quest: First Targets

Good Day All.

I apologise for the break in transmission. As I partly explained in my last post, I was quite preoccupied.

Well now I have time to once again focus on this quest of mine to become a millionaire. So far I've recounted various attempts I have already made, which turned out to be quite a mess. As you can see, I have not given up. What I want to do now, is to start setting targets, and iterate the methods I'm currently thinking of, to get where I intend to.

Ok, so bearing in mind my mishaps of the past, I decided to start with a modest goal. For now, I will endeavor to make a monthly salary of $500 USD in addition to what I get from my regular job. Once I can do this, and sustain it, then I will step things up a notch. Yes, I know, a far cry from the first million, but it is a start.

Now, let me make it clear, that I fully intend to make my extra cash, mainly through internet projects, if not entirely. For now, I'll be focusing on these two areas:

1. Google Adsense
2. High Yield Investment Programs (HYIPs)

For the first, I have already created a few sites with adsense, but they have almost 0 traffic so far. In case you don't know, to really make money from adsense, you need to have a lot of traffic to your website. But I will be taking care of that obstacle in due course.

For the second, I will be proceeding extremely cautiously. I mentioned in a recent post, that I joined one that should pay close to 60% per month. We'll see how that works out. I might even consider adding some extra cash to it. Also, from my dabbling in these things over the last year and half, I still have hopes of some programs coming through. So if any of them do happen to do something exciting, I will let you know.

Ok, that's all for now. I had other things I wanted to mention here, but I will save such for a future post. Keep checking to see my progress. I intend to give a report on that soon.
