Everywhere you turn nowadays, you hear about the recession. It seems to be happening all over the world. So, for this month’s poll, I’m curious to know: Are you preparing your online business for the recession?

If you have some tips and ideas on how you’re preparing for the recession, please share them in the comments section of this post too. I’ll be highlighting some of the best tips and ideas on JMMO.

Poll Reminder: Have you ever read a book about making money online?

Here’s a poll to check whether making money online is something that you do as a full time job or not. And, if it’s not, would you care to share what your other occupations might be?

New Poll: Is making money online your main occupation?

Based on our poll, it looks like Blogging / Writing Content is the most favourite way to make money online of JMMO readers and visitors (37% of all votes). So, it looks like I have to grow our Blogging for Dollars category more.

The next preferred mode of making money is Selling Goods (14% of all votes). It’ll be great to increase our resources in this area too.

Anyway, Creating and Maintaining Websites, Offering Services/Consultancy, and Creating and Selling Own Products received 11% of all votes votes each (33% total). Responding to Surveys, Emails, etc. is the next favourite, with 10% of all votes. Joining Contests and Teaching Online both received 2% of all votes.

There were a total of 87 voters in this poll. Thanks again to all who voted!

I’ll be posting a new poll for the month of March soon.

Poll Results: What’s your most preferred way of making money online?

Well, when JMMO readers and visitors were asked: How much money do you hope to make online in 2008?, majority of the voters said $10,000+ / month (23% of all votes). There’s also an additional 12% who voted the second to the highest amount of: $5000 – 10,000 / month. That’s 35% of folks expecting no less than $5,000/month of online business income. Wow.

Now that’s a real jump from folks saying that majority of JMMO readers have made little to no money online at all. This makes me wonder whether: 1) People who visit and read JMMO have become money makers now; or 2) People are feeling quite optimistic about the thought of making money online; or 3) People have unrealistic expectations about making money online. Hmmm… What do you think?

Anyway, the rest of the poll says: There’s an equal amount of people expecting somewhere low to mid-range (13% each) – $101 – 500 / month, $ 501 – 1000 / month, $1001 – 2000 / month and $2000 – 5000 / month. Total of 52%.

The lower brackets of $1 – 50 / month and $ 51 – 100 / month received 7% of all votes each (total 14%).

There were 442 voters for this poll.

So, yeah, it looks like a lot of folks are expecting a good amount of income from online businesses, hoping to make $5,000 upwards.

Where are you in this range? Are you one of those who’s expecting to make a lot of income from your online endeavours, or are you at the other end of the spectrum, hoping to make even just a small amount? How do you expect to reach your goals this year? Any thoughts, plans and ideas?

Anyway, thanks again to everyone who voted. I’ll be posting a new poll shortly.
