How My Blog Earned $83,358 In December 2008: Why Don’t Others Detail Their Income, Economy’s Got Their Tongue?

Oh yes, this is an all-time high for me, blowing away my previous record of $70,000 in August 2008.

Read the notes below it and see how they compare to September’s $53,000 month, another $50k in October and November’s $66k….oh yes, trend followers can see my business is growingggggg:

December 2008: $83,358

$20,229 TIMalerts

$27,688 Instructional DVDs

$29,407 Advertising & Affiliates

$2,084 An American Hedge Fund

$3,950 Trading Profits

Notes:

TClemans won my monthly income guessing contest (Price Is Right rules, closest without going over wins), congrats, you win a free autographed copy of my book An American Hedge Fund, yeahhhhhh!

Instructional DVD sales were helped by all my new DVDs…they kick ass and people love ‘em…Trainee Trader has the first detailed review of TIMraw HERE, in short he says “It is evident throughout this DVD series that Tim knows his stuff when it comes to the Penny Stock niche. In the fast pace world of finance a new guru pops up every few months and then fades into obscurity. Tim’s profits and trades are well documented and transparent and his blog details the day-to-day happenings and events, which are pertinent to PennyStockers. I was very impressed with this DVD it is packed full of trading wisdom.”

My affiliate program is really starting to grow…nowhere near INO-type #s, but it’s going well…guys, I detail all my trades/testimonials each and every day so you have content to promote each and every day…you get a 25% cut of sales…signup today!

In no way shape or form are these exact numbers, too much stuff going on to keep track every single day, although they are pretty damn close….maybe I’ll post my tax returns later on!

Also, this isn’t my personal income as my web designer/business partner Pallian takes various cuts and it costs a bit to produce the DVDs/maintain our growing websites so my personal profit….I’d say my cut is like $60-$65k.

Advertising/affiliate revenue/income–this stuff is pure profit, hence the variety of ‘make money online’ blogs/”experts”/typical BS/liars/cheats/frauds–really surged mostly on the back of a ton of new signups at Thinkorswim–probly because people are realizing that they have the best executions/customer service around so it’s better to pay $10/trade for all their goodies rather than $5/trade for crappy brokers like Scottrade (You with that Scottrade account!)

As much as people rip on PennyStocking, it keeps pumping out a few grand in steady trading profits each month–I’m nowhere near the ceiling, I’m just trading with a poor person’s account to show how much money a poor person can make using my strategy–which is the ideal way in which my strategy should be used, not to “get rich”, just a little extra money here and there when the trading setups are worthy.

My book surged nicely, especially audiobook sales on Audible/iTunes, probly because people are beginning to realize my strategy actually has merit, especially considering my 200%+ yearly return, which is much more than I can say for the overpopulated value investing arena–how are those -35%, -40%, -45% returns treating you boring/weird value investors LOL

$84k/month now puts me on track for a $1 million/year sales level…and consider if I do that in sales, I personally earn something like $700-$800k….just let that sink in for a sec…and now remember my stuff is doubling every few months…

Wait for my post advising other financial/make-money-online bloggers to share ALL their income, those cowardly bastards need a wakeup call–if you like how open I am, please send this post around to anyone who you think is being a little bitch and not detailing their numbers in areas in which they’re supposed to be experts!

    I'm stunned. I just guessed out of thin air and then started thinking I was guessing like 30K over. Very impressive Mr. Sykes.

    P.S. To Chris who posted his guess on the blog, had you just simply followed the rules you probably would have won. "$80k and change"
  • john
    Hey tim, just been having a little look on your blog lately, i know your DvDs are on penny stocks however can you apply those DVD to general day trading etc??

    Thanks!
  • Timothy Clemans
    @john The ShortStocking DVD is generalized
  • all the the DVDs have useful trading information, cut losses quickly, dont force trades, etc.
  • green
    And what about the real profit paid to Tim by Stock Exchanges for making them a greatest PR ever...
  • Timothy Clemans
    @green that's super secret
  • Evan
    Hey Tim,

    I'm trying to make my new Blog an affiliate site. I tried submitting the form, but didn't receive a confirmation e-mail. I hope I didn't mess Pallian up when I filled out the form a second time. I'm sure he has enough on his $600/plate ;)
  • Go Figure
    We all knew you sucked at trading and made more on suckers learning how to suck. I made 19k last month selling books and DVD's and lost 19,587 trying to trade. haha. can't wait till ur gf gets prego and takes half, fatty.
  • Timothy Clemans
    @Go Figure

    He made 2 million from trading and is up 252% with his current experiment and yet you're the one losing money.
  • younggunz
    Whaa! Tim you make money doing what you like to do...You suck at life. Whaaa, sand in my snatch makes me a crabby bitch!
  • Timothy Clemans
    @Dadi Well you could of guessed $80,100, $80,000.01, $82,000, etc but you didn't jerk.
  • Way to go Tim! unreal
  • younggunz
    @Dadi...Maybe you can develop some insults that don't make you sound like a 14 year old. Figures there would be at least one douche to try and say something to live up to their persona.

    I wish I would have guessed, 83k was one of the amounts I was tossing around when I first read the article.
  • Nice earnings man, i think i am going to have to start posting my own estimated earnings as well. I don't think it is cowardly when people don't show earnings, a lot of blog money earnings lie big time about it anyway, i just find to me it is not that big a deal when you are making money online..

    I have to say very well done on your earnings in december.. :)
  • @timothy man your on tims ass like a bad hemorrhoid, and your a comment troll to boot!
  • Timothy Clemans
    What about rewarding people for being transparent?
  • TC
    The reason most people do not talk about how much they make is simple. They are under-reporting to the IRS. Go on a blog and say you made 80K and you better fill in 80k in the little box or men in suits and sunglasses show up.
  • whenever someone visits that site, the registered owner makes money, it’s called traffic. For every person that visits these sites and every sale that these sites make, the owner is paid a commission. Which pretty much sums up what this Jeff Paul program is
  • Tom
    Congrats on a great month!
  • It doesn't matter that all of those MMO blogs are making $X because they usually have roundabout way of discussing how THEY make money. It is quite useless to the general audience. You actually make money by providing useful services that people CAN use. It's a REAL BUSINESS!

    Congratulations on the new record!
  • FckriduDin
    How can you call yourself a trader when you make majority of your money from advertising and your blog!!
    Stick with warreen buffet strategy ppl - BUY AND HOLD!!!
  • Wow, that is pretty incredible amount of money. I wish you the best of luck and one day hope to be making money like that off of my blog.
  • Greetings all members,

    I would just like to say hello and let you know that I'm happy to be a member - been a lurker long enough :)

    Hope to contribute some and gain some knowledge along the way....
  • W.Buffett
    Haha...what a loser... "Oh...I trade...I make millions...just buy my dvd is just 4.99, please buy it...buyt it!!!!" - so a "great" TRADER who makes most of his money selling cheap dvds???
    You people should really read more studies from Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge, MIT and see that prices can NOT be predicted - unless you want to be losers all your life...of course.
  • buffet, who said i make millions nowadays? nope. who says my dvd is 4.99? nope. stock prices can't be predicted--i agree! only penny stock prices can. learn to do more research and maybe idolize people who arent useless/down 40% now
  • Hank
    I got jacked on paypal by some crook using a wireless account. Jerkwad was speechless when I got his name and address and paid a visit lol!

  • I disclose all my earnings, nothing to hide in my belief.

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $58,000+ even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes. Currently he is the #1 ranked trader out of 25,000+ on Covestor)

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 2000+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS instructional DVD.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
