Poll: How Successful Are You (Financially) on the Internet?

4 points·Ardit20··9 comments

I just want to spur a discussion about earning on the internet.

I personally believe hacker news is the elite of internet achievers. Hence, as we hear much about success and failure on the internet, I was just wondering on your perspective, and hopefully the actual data, on the issue.

HubPages has been doing quite well even in this economy. May was our best month to date.

But to accomplish that, we've really had to grow our traffic. Today, we are top #150 destination according to Quantcast with over 12M unique visitors a month.

I'm an affiliate marketer, should hit six figures in net income by the end of this year. Beats doing a zero-revenue startup :)

You should edit the title to: How much do you make.

Money may have little to do with whatever one defines "success" to be.

Hey, good point thank you. Just changed it

Not terribly successful as of yet. My handful of side projects bring in around $5k a year.

I earned 30 cents yesterday... i was trying out Mechanical turk :-)

just to clarify, are we talking about yearly income, or net worth here?

Ohh, yearly income from the internet I'd suggest.

I made 1K in a month with CJ/adCenter arbitrage about a year ago. But I felt pretty spammy, then I saw the Jason Calcinis speech at Affiliate Summit and thought he was on point in regards to adding value. I'm still trying to figure out that part. :)
