For the month of May I shifted my goals slightly. I decided to focus on creating habits that would allow me to achieve my longer terms goals instead of primarily focusing on making money. With that said, I still have managed to make a little money online without too much effort so far this month. As of today I have made $130 in online income.

Niche Site Duel 2.0 – I’m In!
