Where to from here?

I've been trying to make money online since April, with not much success at all.

The best survey site I've been using is Valued Opinions...with an $18 credit and $10.50 pending credit, I'll be able to walk away with $A30 in vouchers for my Christmas shopping.

Adsense has ended up best for advertising revenue on my blogs. Mainly because you can put it anywhere, and steadily reap the benefits. My current balance is $US18.21, pretty useless, considering I can't get the money until my balance reaches $US100. Its taken me six months to get this far, at this rate it will be another 2 years before I get paid!

So where to now? I've long since given up on getting traffic to my blogs from online communities like myspace and orkut. It was too time consuming, I got plenty of traffic, but no money. The next thing I tried was my own community search engines, Swickis like the one on this page. I've been getting a steady stream of traffic through them, but the income generated is still very low. I worked out I'd have to create 50 or more Swickis to get an Adsense cheque by next Christmas.

I'm heading for the job search sites. By my calculations they're a much better place to make some spare cash.
