Well, it’s time for another $100 challenge: Year 3 * with you. I think I better hurry up with these updates, as I think I’m delayed by about 3-4 months!

Project A Update: A long-time blog that needs to increase income after major shifts. Initial target is $100 a month, working towards $100 a week.

Here’s the latest tally -

• Month 1 – $66
• Month 2 – $147.80
• Month 3 – $154.06
• Month 4 – $188.33
• Month 5 – $120.59
• Month 6 – $152.28
• Month 7 – $100.87

Phew! Almost went below $100 for this month. Definitely the lowest it has been in a while. Again, this may be due to the lull of ecommerce during the North American summer months. In any case, this income is a combination of Adsense and direct advertising.

Total: $929.93

Project B Update: Bringing a Brand new site to make its first $100

Still not updated, but it’s now got a PR of 2.

In any case, here’s the ongoing tally for the site: Month 1: Non-existent site. Month 2: $0.00. Month 3: $0.21. Month 4: $2.27. Month 5: $1.91. Month 6: $1.49. Month 7: $0.39.

So, total – $6.27. All on Adsense. Cool to see that at least it will almost pay for its own domain name registration. Heh.

Project C Update: To see how long it will take for a relatively new online venture to make its first $100.

COMPLETED. It took about 4 months with very little effort. Still working on this venture and has made me approximately US $160 within 7 months. Continuously getting paid a small monthly honorarium. Yay.

$100 Challenge: Year 3, Month 7 Update

Just added Brian and Lisa Newton to our directory list of $100 Challenge: Year 3 participants. This brings our total participants this year to 6 (including me). If you wish to join the challenge, it’s not too late yet. Visit the $100 Challenge page to find out more about it.

As I mentioned in this update on the challenge, I’ll be giving you some idea on where I am with my own $100 challenge. So, here you go:

Project A Update: A long-time blog that needs to increase income after major shifts.

Very, very pleased with the progress for this. On Month 1 (Jan ’09), this project came up to about $66 on Adsense income alone. And, there are a couple of pending affiliate income that may also come through.

And, although it’s just early days in Month 2, it’s already looking good both on Adsense and direct ads.

Project B Update: Bringing a Brand new site to make its first $100

For month 1, I did not get to start a new site. Things were way too hectic. But, I managed to do set up and start a new site in month 2. And, I’ve managed to put in one avenue for online income on it at this stage. It’s not launched yet officially, so unsure of how long it will take to make money. But, I’ll let you know!

Project C Update: To see how long it will take for a relatively new online venture to make its first $100

Other than setting up and running my own sites, I decided to get going with a new online venture: providing content for a site. Month 1 hasn’t come up with any income yet, as it was mostly spent on looking for avenues and preparing applications. I’ll let you know what happens to Month 2 in my next project update.

Of course, I have a handful of other projects that are generating some income. But, since I thought it’s best to focus on just a few at a time, I’ll keep my updates to these three projects for now.

What about you? How’re you doing with your own $100 challenges?
