Hello :-)
At the start of every month, I often intend to make more online than I did in the previous month, even if it doesn't work out that way. Sometimes, it does. Sometimes, it doesn't.
This year, I'd like to make more every single month, even if it's just by a couple of cents! (which is what happened in January and February)
My target for this month is $300. I'm hoping to make more than that. I'm at about $25 at the mo'.
$300 is roughly $100 more than I made in February, so technically, if I make $206 in March, I then would have made more than I did in Feb --- but I don't plan to stop there if I can help it.
My Strategies:
- Go to bed earlier. Wake up earlier. (this is a tough one as I'm a night owl)
- Eat better. Eat foods that give me energy and make me feel better.
- Break the money I want to make into daily chunks and try to make that amount most days.
- Really push myself on certain days to make more than my daily target, in order to stretch myself.
Right, that's me. How about you? How much do you want to make online this month? What strategies do/will you have in place to help you get there?

I would like to make enough to live off but I know that will not happen.. but it is something that I would like to work towards in the future.. I know it can be done I just haven't found it yet.

Knowing it can be done can be a powerful way to eventually find yourself there.
Good luck.

Minimum goal: $500. Desirable goal: $800. Upper goal: no limits!
I need to write like crazy and publish a lot more ebooks to get there. I only managed to publish 8 last month because a health scare made it difficult to write for a week. While it isn't over yet, I hope I can return to a good writing target soon. If I can write and publish 16 stories I think I could hit that upper number. But so far it's not looking so good. I'll really need to ramp up production!

We're only 5 days into March, and it's not short like February. You have 26/27 days to go. :-)
I hope you achieve every set goal this month.

@browneyed Me too! Although it will take some time to build up my forces, hopefully I can make it.

I would like to earn $30 at the end of March. I hope I can do it. By the way, where do you get your other online earnings?

I hope you can do it too. You have over three wonderful weeks to do so. :-)
My online earnings are mostly from proofreading. That might change this month as I've been doing some writing.

I really like the idea that you set a goal for yourself every month. Most people probably feel they can't make a decent amount so they just don't bother setting a goal at all. This was very inspiring for me. I've been thinking about doing the same. I'm going to start today!

Yay, go for it! Best of luck.
What is your goal (if you don't mind sharing. It's okay if you don't want to either.)
I totally understand some folks choosing not to set a goal and why. Maybe some will change their mind in the future and go for it, whether they reach their goal or not.
I'm half-and-half with the strategies. Been eating better; smoothies mostly, and salads a few times. Also been reaching my daily money target so far.
Again, good luck to you.

@browneyed thanks! I totally agree with you on eating better. It's an entire lifestyle change. We have to do better overall.

Thank you, Teemee :-)
It's one thing for me to plan. It's another for me to take action on it, which is where my weakness usually lies. Action needs to be my middle name (apart from my actual middle name!) if I want that $300 to happen.
It's so easy and so hard. Easy because there's the solution right there: You want what you want? Take action. / And hard because (points at self) human, life, fear, doubts, procrastination, etc.
Anyway, wish me luck. :-)
Have a wonderful March.
