TIM Store Offer:
Awwww yeah, that’s right, not only am I gonna report my trading gains/losses (see July 2008 review HERE), now I’m also gonna detail my blog’s earnings each month.
Cuz as much as I like cutting through all the BS in finance/trading/ Penny Stocks , there’s even more BS in “make money online” racket–I know cuz after running this blog for 9 months, I’ve seen lots of crazy shit, most of which hasn’t made me a dime.
Inspired by John Chow’s monthly blog income reports (see his $40,000 June HERE), below are the numbers for my blog last month–proving that my biz model is superior to most, especially considering Chow only made $40k even though he’s got 27x more RSS readers (help me out and signup for mine HERE!) and and about 3x as many visitors….if this post is popular enough, I’ll begin an entire new blog devoted to how to make money form blogging, maybe with a project to be titled “Transparent Blog Income” (TBI) or something to that effect…
These are the July results of a hardworking internet entrepreneur, think 16-20 hours days, including weekends…it’s all about how bad you want it, f$%^ the 4-hour work week you fat lazy American slobs, working hard, and honestly, is the path to righteousness and fulfillment:
(My personal income is reduced by expenses & the various percentages I pay out to the godsend named Pallian, but that’s between me and the IRS…not that I have to pay substantial taxes anytime soon since I’m still working off my CYGT losses)
Trading Gains: $3,213
Penny Stocking DVD + TIMalerts: $35,031
Website Advertising & Affiliate Sales: $5,076
An American Hedge Fund Book: $1,616
Total: $44,936
Some notes:
Ad revenue would surely be higher if I didn’t have a problem promoting liars, cheats and frauds…unfortunately I do
This $45k is nearly double my $25k June figure (estimated), because TIMalerts has become such a raging success thanks to ALL 18 alerts being winners (so far…don’t expect perfection to last), with the average gain per alert in July being 24% within 1-2 days…no BS, go to the subscribers-only TIMalerts.com website (where there’s a lot more discussiont han on this free site) and see the alert table/testimonials on the front page.
Book income has remained steady the past few months, although it’s waaaaay off its initial figures, which is to be expected…I can live with $1-$2k/month for the rest of my life, more if I actually repeat my feat inside of a decade…
I have some other income thanks to money market interest, but it’s nto related to the blog so it don’t matter here.
Yes, I’m banking of DVDs and TIMalerts , but go to either of those pages and see the money earned by my customers greatly exceeds my personal earnings….this should change as people realize this isn’t a hoax, it’s just a way of making a few extra bucks every few days, weeks or months, whenever the variables align properly to get the odds 80/20 or 90/10…only then should you strike–and, in time, my products begin to outsell all the frauds out there…

Impressive, man…this is a great income generator. Sounds like you work insanely hard, though. I saw a post that said your website layout is for sale. For how much? How much to host?
I probly wouldn’t do it if I were you, but would be soooo cool to see details and all your costs made transparent here.
Here’s an idea for a blog post Tim: even though you’re a private corpany, you could release quarterly financial statements…transparency to the max
Sykes,
Even though your blog generated more than 40k(majority of dvd and alert sales), John Chow’s blog makes his money from advertising and affiliate programs on his site. Which if you can make 40k alone from advertising and such on your site, then its a fair comparsion.
way to go man. Keep up the good work. Hopefully you can write a book about how you broke expectations and proved that your success in college wasn’t just a dot com flash in the pan.
This number better be 2x higher by June 2009, I’m holding you to it.
As for transparency I’ve had two things with it:
1.) Success. Because people rarely get to see behind the scenes of how someone puts money in their bank. People eat it up.
2.) Copycats. Many rationalize, “If I do everything exactly like he does, I’ll make at least half what he does.”
Fortunately your style and work ethic is so distinct, so unique, so much more creative than the dorks who will/have copy you…they won’t see a tenth of the same rewards.
Congrats!

Congrats !!!!
KS, $ is $, we have 2 diff biz models…
thanks nev how u doing man, u coming back to nyc anytime soon?
I didn’t take a Viagra so why am I sporting a boner. Oh yea, lookning at numbers that big always excites me.
Cheers Sykes…you throwing a party tonight all expenses on us too, I bet, you cheap bastard. lol
Awesome Tim! Are your affiliate earnings just a result of people buying stuff from ads or are you actively doing PPC/CPC campaigns?
traffic earns sponsors which earns money, chow can suck himself, this site has been blowing up each month on traffic volume not long before your advertising revenues are squashing his
also i’m getting pumped about livestock on fri, any supernovas out there lets make sure to mention them
Damn Tim good job keep doing what you doing, and keep it Real and transparent
Oh Tim one more thing I will be signing up for Timalertssssssssssssss I cant afford to mis it.
@pwr_Hustla was that a dig at Cramer? “you can’t afford to miss it” nice one :)
LMAO yeppppp !!!!
So I got a margin call email from ToS today. Similar to the one mentioned in http://www.timothysykes.com/ti.....e-changes/
I don’t understand why, because I didn’t day trade (always held overnight) until ToS updated their software with the PDT countdown. Since then I have day traded a couple of times, but never more than twice in 5 business days (always check the countdown first). I hoping it’s a mistake, because I’ve never bought on margin and I’ve never even pushed the envelope on the PDT rule. Trying to get more information out of them.
Maybe I’m not understanding correctly?

The thing here is: if you were so damn successful as a hedge fund manager and hadn’t blown yourself out of the water, there would be no need for you to be some lame-ass “hard-working internet entrepreneur(ship)” working 16-20 hour days…
What blew the site up was Tim Alerts. This is the main reason Sykes took in 45K. He hit 12 straight winners with an average return of 25%. If he had 12 straight losers he wouldn’t have sold any DVD’s nor had so many TIM alert subscribers. He’s be in line seeking unemployment benefits. This blog in a sense is like managing a hedge fund. Performance brings reward.
Philip Falcone manages 20 billion and was up 40% as of June with his short financials long energy strategy. Numbers released today show him down 15% just for the month of July. Everyone has their down times.
Back to you in the studios Dick.
Fly, the thing here is: I wasn’t a successful hedge fund manager! If you read my book, u’d know that…as it is, i’m taking my thoroughly non-scalable strategy and teaching regular people to make some decent money….that has value to it, and as i expected, that value is higher than the actual trading gains that big old bad timing TIM is capable of…learn before you post and your blog could be better ya lil son of a bitch
Tim,
Want another hack at ZYXI? Touched it’s record high from 4 years ago at 4.10 before backing off to 4.05 big volume yesterday on good news. May end up running bigtime tomorrow.
big volume today I mean
is this the fly from ibankcoin.com?
I’ve noticed how much you work, congrats. Maybe your next book can be named ‘An Asian Hedge Fund’
I think Americans actually work more hours than the Japanese though.
Tim,
No plans for NYC anytime soon…California, yes!
A MESSAGE TO “THE FLY” COMMENTOR:
I run my own blog called NevBlog.com which used to list all my personal income and transparently displayed some of my activities.
I am used to your kind.
You sit by your computer with nothing else to do but read blogs you supposedly hate….but secretly like. You’re probably a decently nice person in real life, not too bright but not too dumb; however with the veil of anonymity over the internet you feel like a big man being able to take a pot-shot at someone better/bigger/more popular than yourself (in this case Tim).
If you don’t like Tim, don’t visit his site. Just to see Tim’s site you must physically and consciously make an effort to type in the URL, or more likely, click it in your favorites menu (I would bet ANYTHING “The Fly” has this site in his favorites).
You see, you think you’re hurting Tim by posting your comments, but you have the opposite effect. The more no-thought and brainless criticisms you post, the more Tim’s traffic count goes up and the more successful he becomes. You probably also regularly check back to his posts several times a day to see if he commented back to you. After you read this comment you will visit back even MORE times. People who do this are generally starved for affection in real life or have low-level social skills. Another by product of your postings is it creates controversy, and as a media figure Tim thrives on controversy. Point = Tim.
I’ll tell you the secret to shut people like me and Tim up:
Don’t listen/watch/read.
But you won’t do that.
But hey, this isn’t any of my concern. So go back to your boring life making less per year than Tim did this month.
Continue to make your comments, its ok that you have a man-crush on Tim…I won’t tell.

Semper Trader,
if you look at the last two instances where the volume was that big for two days in a row it resulted in a down day on the third. It went up on news yesterday but I doubt your going to have a dollar on it tomorow. Just an opinion.
Tim…. you’ve changed since I first started following you. It hasn’t been for the good.
CONGRATS TIM!
You should definitely post this every month. Your entire Transparent business structure is so REFRESHING for this industry and leaves no room for outsiders/haters to think anything else is going on then what is presented and shown. Good job, sir.
thanks for all the kind words guys, especially coming from an awesome blogger like nev….to address “a friend” haha we all change, all i can do is keep being honest about trading/lessons i’ve learned, etc, now i’ve just figured out how to make a business out of it
I don’t see any great setups for tomorrow. ZYXI I’d hit day after tomorrow if it keeps running (as I expect it to). VRNM solidly bullish news, but I’d hit that short if it had another couple big % up days. Everything from the current watch lists is just getting uninteresting.
I am only about 6 days from having my new account open and funded! Yay for possibly good borrows and pre-borrows!
The road to “success” will be a slow and methodical journey and I’m excited to be with you on that path. Once a few of us become millionares — with your help, you’ll get the recognization from your peers that you rightly deserve.
Congratulations with getting your business off the ground, and keep pushing. You’re doing great.

Congrats on the success Tim! I really wish you would ignore the trolls though. It’s kind of been turning me off to your site lately. They are just baiting you and they win when you engage them. Hater are never going to be convinced you know what you are doing, so just ignore them. I come to this site for market info, not to read flame wars.
Wow, I think it is very amusing when someone shares how much they made with something they worked hard on or start something that their successful at you get a bunch of new fucktards show up and try to bring them down. It’s sad when people see someone else be successful they feel compelled to bring them down or make up reasons why that person is lower then them.
GT4, trolls never win, the idiots help me get more traffic/make me more controversial…otherwise i’m just a simple trader who knows how to make a few grand/month…lol
All these comments and only one on ILE…a drug stock that’s up 220% in pre trading on phase 3 news and runs to 440% before “tanking” back down to 210%.
Did you think it was gonna hold 440%?
No offense but what are you folks watching?
This site is getting away from the basics here,too much chitter chatter on off topic shat,imo
fly ill work 16-20 hour days for 45k a month
Congrats Tim! You more than deserve every penny…you hardly sleep, you work 18 hour days, and you sacrifice so much teaching small traders like myself! Holy crap thats a lot of sushi money for you! Wow…
Crap thats a ton of sushi money!
Indeed, only hardwork pays off!
You’re in the right track if you can start your own “Another Blog About Making Money Online”, sure there will be lots of followers. I wanna make sure i’ll be the first to bookmark!
Keep it up!

Now you just need to get on an E-trade commercial, that will boost your site traffic a shit load.
Way to go dude!
No problem Tim if that is what you are after. Maybe you could implement a feature to block certain user’s comments from view then? Then I could filter out all of the noise and only read trading relevant posts/comments.
You’re really making more money becuase you’re cleaning up your potty mouth Mr. Man. ”
GT4, there is a block, its called TIMalertS:
http://www.timalerts.com
no trash talking there, just 100ish trading related comments/day
Yeah Tim, thats what I like to see happening for you.
I am trying day to day to get myself to a place where I’m providing something for others who in turn are willing to pay for my services to help them. Thats really great for you and everything you have done to get where you have gotten:)
I am trying to get sale #1 at Internet Submitter. Website promotion packages for you all to choose from!
This will certainly allow me to purchase the TimAlerts and DVD set. Is anyone interested in helping me out?
I have a BLOGthere as well if anyone is interested in checking that out. Thanks much for your support.
Thanks for your inspiring blogs Tim. Its helping me everyday.
haha Mike_13th keeping it real on ILE
no one wants to hear you, seems like
Even if you were reluctant to go long at the open on ILE (like I was) you could look for 10:30am confirmation. Zoomed past that. Or you could look for the short off the rocket, there were many ways to play it. None of those ways were Timmay plays, that doesn’t take anything away from him, but it goes back to the question of whether expert traders like Mike_13th should post here- all those timmay followers who come to the chatroom should reconsider whether they go there-

Hey Tim whats up? I was just wondering if you could tell me if eTrade is a direct access broker one where you can watch the intraday charts as the market is happening
