$350 per month is about R3 000 per month (for my South African readers) and I think I may have been able to make that much each month from this site already had I added more than just 26 articles to this site in the past 19 months.
I'm actually going to work with the figure of 24 articles to do some maths now, because my earnings from this site stayed roughly the same, on average each month, after adding 24 articles to the site, even when I added only 2 new articles in the next 12 months after those first 24 articles! This is my 27th article, I added the 26th article a little while earlier today, and the 25 article 6 months ago. I added the 24th article 6 months before that!
This site keeps earning me money even when I go a good few months without writing and adding any new articles to it!
But my earnings from this site are not all that much ( R1 252 in 19 months is an average of about only R65 per month over the past 19 months ) (about $7.60 per month) - but then I can't expect too much when these earnings have come from only 24 to 25 articles that I added in 19 months (added no.26 and this one no.27 today only.) But at least this site is a totally free site; no domain registration and hosting costs, or domain registration and hosting renewals.
Imagine if I'd added 20 articles a month instead of less than 2 a month on average - maybe, just maybe, my earnings would have been R650 per month (about $76), on average, instead!
Now, if you look at my previous article where I listed each month's earnings over the past 6 months (yes, still earned even though I didn't add any new articles in the past 6 months - actually added only 1 new article in the past 12 months, and still earned!) you will see that I worked out that it may be possible, that once I have gotten my average monthly earnings up to an income I am happy with (by adding new articles to increase traffic to this site) then it seems that I may have to add only one new article every 4 to 9 weeks to maintain that average monthly income.)
So, to see if it works out, and to help my readers consider doing the same, ot something similar, I hope I can find the time to conduct an experiment.
My experiment would be to see if I can more rapidly increase my monthly earnings from this site, by making a greater effort at adding new articles to it, more frequently. Of course adding new articles to a site generally helps increase traffic to that site (and thus helps increase earnings from that site too, for the person who writes articles for that site) but I wonder how long it would take me to reach earnings of say $350 per month. (Then I could report back on how long it took, and on how many articles I wrote to get that point.)
Of course earnings can be increased in other ways too, like by getting more traffic to a site by leaving links to a site (or to different pages of that site) on other sites, but, although I do have some links on other sites coming to this site from other sites, and may still get a few more links from other sites, I'd like to see how simply writing and adding many more articles to this site can help.
I could report on progress along the way (and each time I write a report, that's a new article for this site at the same time!)
I wish I had already been writing and adding many new articles to this site, in the past 19 months, but onward now with a new plan.
Let me try and do some maths to guess how long it might take me to get my earnings on this site up to about R3 000 (currently about $350) per month (after which I think I may have to write and add only one new article every 4 to 9 weeks to maintain those earnings.)
If adding less than 2 new articles each month over the past 19 months earned me an average of R65 per month over the past 19 months, then perhaps had I added 20 articles per month instead, my earnings would now have been averaging out at about R650 per month, instead of just R65 per month.
But I want to earn R3 000 per month from this site. Eish, was never great at maths:
It's basically 24 articles that earned me my R65 per month.
If earnings remain roughly constant when related to how many new articles I write and add, then 240 articles would have maybe earned me R650 per month average.
and, 2 400 articles would have earned me maybe R6 500 per month
so, 1 200 articles would have earned me maybe R3 250 per month - let's work with that figure:
How long will it take me to add 1 200 (less 27 articles with this one) = 1 173 articles to this site?
If I could add 20 new articles a month, it will take me 5 years to add 1 200 new articles to this site
If I could add 30 new articles a month, it will take me 3 years and 4 months.
If I could add 45 new articles a month (one and a half a day) it will take me nearly 2 years 7 months
If I could add 60 new articles a month (2 per day) it will take me 1 year 8 months
If I could add 90 new articles a month (3 per day) it will take me about 1 year and 3 months
If I could add 120 new articles a month (4 per day) it will take me about 10 months
Argggh, hard work, and where will I find the time to do other things like work? (I'm a freelancer, and when I don't work at that, I don't earn money from that.) I also have a few other sites that I should add a new article to from time to time, to increase or maintain the passive income earnings I make from those sites.
But still, I would like to attempt to add as many new articles to this site as I can. I think I've said that before (and didn't do anything about it) but in my last article on this site it became clearer to me that once I am earning an income from this site that I am happy with, each month, I may only have to add one new article every 4 to 9 weeks to keep receiving those monthly earnings. That's a great reward to work towards.
Also, depending on how rapidly traffic increases to this site as I pay more attention to adding new articles to it, and also depending on if I spend a little time on getting more links to this site from other sites, and also if I spend a little time on carefully choosing phrases and words to put in my articles (SEO tactics) then my traffic (and earnings) may increase to a level I am happy with before the estimated time periods in my calculations further above.

Online Earnings Report for February 2011
South Africans really can earn money online. I'm a South African, living right here in sunny South Africa, and I earn money online.
I started writing an online earnings report each month from August 2010, so that I can easily refer back to my other reports and see how my online earnings are growing. The reports are also to show South Africans, or anyone wishing to earn money online, that it is possible. The online earnings reports are also to show people that with a bit of time and effort invested, online earnings can grow.
Each one of my earlier reports usually has some other helpful information or advice too, and links to follow for further advice and info. Just about anyone who has a computer and Internet connection can make money online. And sometimes there's no other cost involved. It certainly helps to have your own website or blog or two, but it's not totally required.
My online earnings for August 2010 (6 months ago) were R580.21
You can link to some of my other earlier monthly online earnings reports from my January 2011 online earnings report. January earnings were my previous best. Yeah, that's right, February earnings were higher, even though February 2011 had 28 days in it compared to January's 31 days :)
Okay, let's get to the earnings report for February 2010:
Of my total passive income earnings for February 2011, R980.31 came from Adsense. (Currently about $140.15 according to a currency converter that I used today)
Most of the R980.31 came from Adsense on my own sites, and in particular from sites I have where I pay for hosting and domain registration, and are not totally free sites like this Blogger blog (just over R40 came from this totally free Blogger site and that's not too bad since it is still quite new and does not yet have that much content on it - I have been linking to it quite a bit from my other sites, though, so I'm sure that helps too.)
But my February 2011 Adsense earnings that did not come from my own sites, came from the following sites that are free to join:
HubPages R17.40
Bukisa R2.10
Best-Reviewer R0.28
Triond R0.02
Xomba R0.01
(Total from these sites that are not my own is R19.81)
Total from my 5 Blogger blogs (4 are mine and one is Tony's) (I already mentioned the just over R40 from this free Blogger blog that you're on now (Make Money Use Internet) which is included in this total amount) is R54.77 (This fairly new Make Money Use Internet Blogger blog is obviously doing the best so far.)
So, yeah, my other 5 sites where I pay for hosting and domain registration are definitely so far doing a lot better (and currently easily cover the yearly hosting and domain registration fees, with a good profit thereafter), as their Adsense earnings make up the remaining R905.73 of the total R980.31 Adsense earnings for February 2011. A currency converter, used today, tells me that R905.73 is currently about $129.37
Read about how just one of those 5 sites makes me 18 times a year more than I pay for it.
Right, Adsense earnings report done, so let's move onto my other passive income online earnings to get a bit closer to my grand total for February 2011.
From these sites, all free to join:
Factoidz R13.89
Helium R22.22
Triond R0.83
Redgage R6.95
Constant Content R67.81
Online Earnings Report for February 2011 GRAND TOTAL:
R1078.12
(using a currency converter, today, tells me that's about $154)
South Africans, you can also earn money from Adsense in South Africa, and make money online. Just get started!
One of the nicest things about making passive income online is that, for example, I don't have to do any more work regards this passive income, and I will still earn about R1 000 per month from it.
Spending more time on it, whenever I get the chance to, is of course my plan, as then I can further increase that monthly R1 000.

Passive Income Earnings from 10 Helium Articles over 6 weeks
Helium is an online writing site I joined on 11 September 2010, so that's now 5 months and 15 days ago. I earn passive income from publishing my articles on Helium. Many of these articles of mine are also published on other sites, where they also earn me a passive income, but I'm reporting on just my passive income earnings from 10 Helium articles over the last 6 weeks, for now, here.
5 weeks and 6 days ago I reported on my top ten Helium article earnings since I submitted them to Helium. These are the ten I am going to again teport on here, even though some are no longer in my top ten earners as others I have submitted have crept up into my top ten Helium article earners, shifting some of my previous top ten down a bit.
Below is the same top ten list as before, but also now including how much more they've earned me over the past 6 weeks:
Google Adsense Testimonials
Published on Helium 24 Oct 2010 - 2 months and 20 days ago
$0.99
now, 6 weeks later (so now published just over 4 months ago) has earned me a total of $1.44 so that's $0.45 in the last 6 weeks

Published on Helium 7 Dec 2010 - 1 month and 6 days ago
$0.41
$0.38 earned in the last 6 weeks puts this article's earnings to date at $0.79
The ten article above had earned me a total of $6.05 since I first submitted them, when I added them up 6 weeks ago. Now they have earned me a further $1.32 in the last 6 weeks, bringing my total earnings from these 10, to date, since I first submitted them to Helium, to $7.37
I guess it doesn't sound like much, but what I like knowing is that they're just there, earning me a passive income (and on some other sites too, where I also have them published - their earnings I've reported on above are just from the Helium writing site.) I have other articles on Helium too; it's not just these ten I have on Helium.
For example, since 3 of the above articles are not currently on my top ten earners' list on Helium (earnings since first submitted them to Helium) which 3 are now currently in my top ten?
These 3:
