How was your life in 2008?

    For me it was an utter failure!

    I quit my day job and wanted to try my fortune in online business.

    My adsense earnings went down to the rock bottom.
    Considerable losses in Stock Market
    Nothing seemed to work well.

    But just one thing was consoling.
    The website I had developed in the past rewarded financially with some passive income (for atleast 10 months). But now its all exhausted.

    I am thinking if I should go back to the same old call center job where I got 5 figures income, weekend offs and some other benefits.
    How about yours? And also some personal advice on my career would be highly appreciated.

    MY First half of this 2008 was not so good , no earning at all but my second half was excellent , now i reach to 2000$ per month levels. hope i will touch 10000$ per month levels in 2009 !

    earning is increasing like febonacci series. example first i earned 500$ per month then reach to 700$ then 1500$ now 2200$ per month

    It was a boring and flat year for me and there's no sign 2009 will get better.

    I will rate my 2008 as good . In 2006 I started searching for money and its ending i finished earning $5 to $8 monthly . In 2007 I did hard work and joined dp Than finished up with earning $50 to $ 80 per month . In 2008 I went mad and now i am earning $$$ per month only and i am just few $$ back from four figures . I hope in 2009 my earning cn cross 3 digits and enter in four digits .

    Lets hope for the best .

    Congratulations on your achievement and I'm sure that 2009 will be another barnstorming year for you (despite the carrot crunch).

    I'd be interested to hear what strategies you've used to achieve such a ramping up of revenue.

    Nothing extraordinary happen. Just an average year.

    Just hope 2009 will be better than 2008.
