Millionaire Quest: My New Target

My millionaire quest has been prodding along, somewhat slowly, but things are shaping up. I had wanted to provide more reports for last month, but as you know, I've been working on my American Idol project, and that has consumed a large part of my time. In addition to that, I've had to divert my attention to do some research into important matters for a friend.

Now progress is being made. The 60% program is still looking good. I have a few more weeks of waiting before I will be in profit, and be able to compound risk-free. The other HYIP I joined that was supposed to give me a very large profit (compared to my investment), has sadly continued to be delayed. At least it hasn't disappeared. I'll give until end of June before I write it off.

My adsense program has not been returning any significant yields. However, the potential is there, and I am on the right track. With all I've been learning from my personal American Idol project, I have been devising a plan on how to leverage this knowledge. I must say I'm pretty pleased with this idea. I think it is a winner! I also don't think it should be too hard to implement. Therefore, I have decided to set a new target.

Recall that my initial target was to make $500 each month from just my internet activities. I feel that is pretty much in the bag now, and with my optimism for the idea I'm working on, I believe I can strive for much higher. So on the conservative side, I am expecting to have accumulated $100,000 by the end of this year.

So that is my new target going forward until I feel that there is good reason to up it again. As usual, I'll endeavour to give updates on a regular basis.

Millionaire Quest: First Target Almost Met

Greetings folks.

I was hoping to have received a tidy return from one of the HYIPs I tried out about a month ago. Nothing has come in yet, but I've been informed that there is nothing to worry about. So I still fully expect to receive my funds in due course. Naturally I will let you all know how this works out.

The 60% programme is still going strong. I just added some more money to it. In approximately 6 weeks time, I should receive a payout that will return more than the sum of what I deposited overall. Each month thereafter, I should be earning more than $500 per month.

My adsense revenue is still small, but it is growing. The main problem I have now is devoting the time necessary to build and nurture the adsense sites. But as I said in the last update, I've profited more from my latest adsense project in terms of the knowledge and experience I picked up in getting it off the ground. As you can imagine, with a mind like mine, I've been sprouting ideas non-stop, for how to utilise this. You'll soon see some changes on this blog to that effect. So it seems exciting times are ahead.

Btw, I'm still looking for the lucky girl who will be my wife. Decent girls are scarce these days, as you know. But I am still accepting applications at this time.

Millionaire Quest: Still Hoping

Good Day All.

I just wanted to provide a quick update before the month was out. I mentioned that I was expecting a nice pay out this week gone. Well it never happened. However, I know the program is still paying, but the schedule has been significantly slowed. So I'm still hoping to be paid, but it could take another week, maybe even two.

As to my progress with adsense, I am pleased to report that I've been doing well. Dollarwise it is nothing to talk about, unless one thinks $5 is a lot. Of course that is not to say I've made $5 with adsense. I'll just say that is a hint. But in terms of the number of visitors I've been receiving, and the various things I've learnt regarding the adsense program and generating traffic to a website, I do feel quite good.

I should be able to reuse a lot of this experience and knowledge for my other website endeavours, and I do fully expect that from website revenues alone, I shall be making more than $500 per month, by the end of the year.

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.
