  • Services Rendered: $635
  • Banner/Text Ads: $45

That makes my total income for September 2009, a massive $687. This is much greater than August income report and I hope that I can continue to keep it there. It would help me to pay for a few things which have wondered onto my “Need List”.

I’m sure you are asking the same question this month about my services rendered as last month. Why do people always want to know, cause even I’m curious about what others make and how they make it. At this stage the business is growing and it makes me happy to announce that ……..   Stay Tuned

I’m happy (and a bit jealous, lol… ) that you made over $600 this month compared to your $170 last month. I would also very much like to know more about your “services rendered”… well, I hope, cause it does sound a bit ‘dirty’, if you know what I mean ;)

@Klaus – I read your comment twice to understand it better. Yes, it was a big difference in September and my income was much higher, but it was not dirty at all. I provide a service and the customer has a choice to either accept or look some where else. Not any kind of force is used, actually a helping hand.

I never know that such service could provide some big income.

Why aren’t you posting the price of this service? Does it mean that it depends on who you are working with or something else?

@Diabetis – it depends on the project at hand, the more complex the more I charge. If it’s easy then the price is much lower.
