* I’ve been keeping track of my HART-Empire Network Earnings Online ..

Here is the link: HART-Empire Network Earnings Spreadsheet Document

The earnings are on an “Accrual” basis, where I’m documenting what I’ve earned, but monies will usually come in the following month, or (if ever) when I reach the minimum threshold for release of my earnings for payment. The expenditures are on a “Cash” basis, as I pay something related to my online earnings, I just load up the spreadsheet and modify it.

Reflection

As I mentioned last month, November was intended to be another “building stage” month … trying to get my templates under controll, upgrading plugins, wordpress versions .. and other administrative stuff. Revenues were down because of it, bur fortunately not by much.

Unfortunately, I didn’t do too much “building” and converting templates at all in November, and still during this time in December I have not done much. Quite honestly, I have been swamped with my offline work and I have been neglecting my blogs this month.

As for the revenues, just like Halloween – I think I have “blown” it for christmas season in the HART Market stores, but I don’t advertise so, I deserve that I suppose! I’m barely getting this under control and modifying the products each site has every week and hopefully it will click in during 2009. The time spent in November trying to promote the stores were a last ditch effort, in my opinion, that I probably should have spent the time just modifying the templates and doing the upgrades. Oh well!

And, I probably should be upgrading this blog and template too 🙂

In December 2008, I did manage to create 8 new sites .. 3 new “Lvr” blogs (for 2009) and 5 new HART Market stores (as soon as I get the templates in I will add them to the top menu). If I can manage to earn revenues of $1,930.16 .. then I will have broken the gross revenues of $20,000 for 2008. Although, looking at my earnings so far Dec 1-10, 2008 .. I suspect I probably be closer to $19,800 or less.

It’s been a slow year, yet looking at other blog owners trying to monetize and make money online I should be a lot more grateful than I am. However, I still direct my success to any bottom line earnings which, for the next six months, I see myself continually breaking even as I bootstrap more of my business back into the business and hope to grow.
