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.

How many sites do I have about making money online?
Besides this Make Money Use Internet Blogger blog, I also have 2 other sites that have information about making money online. They are not exclusively about making money online, but also have articles telling you other ways you can work from home, that do not involve computers or the Internet at all - unless of course you want to use the Internet to advertise what it is you do from home!
So, actually, even if your work from home idea is not something you do online, you can still say Make Money Use Internet applies, as advertising your product or services online is a way you make money using the Internet.
The two work from home ideas sites I have that include some information about making money online are Work from Home Ideas and Work at Home Jobs.
Work at Home Jobs is a little older than Work from Home Ideas. Work at Home Jobs is a WordPress blog I added to my main website 1pic4twenty after I realised that a particular page on 1pic4twenty was getting quite a lot of traffic (visitors.) It is a page that has a long list of work from home ideas, in alphabetical order.
The amount of traffic to my list of work from home ideas page is probably not wonderful by global standards, but it is often the most visited page on my main site, indicating that people are looking for ideas on how they can make money at home.
Well, since Tony and I make money at home, I thought we should try help others how to make money at home too. We know many people are struggling to find work, or struggling to earn some extra income, and that if they have a computer and Internet connection, they can make money online.
Of course getting more traffic to my site (and now my sites) was also in my mind: not only could the services Tony and I offer gain more exposure by having these people see our links to more details about our services, but we could also earn some extra income by placing Google Adsense ads on our pages, and affiliate program ads too, if we wanted to.
So, we added Work at Home Jobs to our main site, on the same host server, to save money (instead of getting a new domain and hosting package for it.) Work at Home Jobs is a WordPress blog. We selected a free theme from over 1 000, and set it up on our main site.
Work at Home Jobs is quite similar to our Work from Home Ideas website, when we're speaking about the content on these sites, except that the content is added in different ways. If you don't know html coding then it's easier to add content to a WordPress blog than to design a website. Although I'm fairly happy with where I've placed my Google Adsense ads on my Work at Home Jobs site, I wanted a bit more freedom with choosing where I put the ads, and so the Work from Home Ideas site came into being - also because of realising that quite a few people search for "work from home ideas" on the Internet due to the traffic to our page with a list of work from home ideas, on our main site.
Then, after realising that search engines like Google favour (this is South Africa otherwise I would write "favor" instead of "favour" - South Africans and people from the U.K. use favour instead of favor, but if I'm doing a writing assignement for somebody that lives in the U.S. I would use favor) niche sites that have a lot of content related to the title of the site, I started another site called Make Money Writing Online (which is only about making money writing online, even though it can split further into a section about making passive income from writing online, or making money from freelance writing for clients on freelance job sites or privately.)
So, with this site, that's 4 sites I have about making money online, even though it's only this one and the Make Money Writing Online one that are exlusively about using the Internet to make money online.
I also write articles on writing sites about making money online.

Make Money Use Internet
Welcome to our new blog, Make Money Use Internet. Yeah, we have other free Blogger blogs too, as well as WordPress blogs that are not free - well, the WordPress themes are free, but we pay for hosting and domain registration. There are totally free WordPress blogs available, where one does not even have to pay for hosting or domain registration, but we prefer to have our own unique domain name for our WordPress blogs, and like to place ads on our WordPress blogs.
We have a few websites too, self-designed using html and CSS.
Who are we?
We are Terry and Tony of TnT Unleashed in South Africa, and we work from home, making money using the Internet. We're currently almost 51 (Tony) and 41 and a half (me, Terry.)
How do we make money using the Internet?
We're self taught freelance web designers. Web design is the main work we do, but we do also make money using the Internet in other ways too.
We started our little work from home freelance web design business in February 2008. From there, slowly growing our web design portfolio, we branched out into other work from home ideas too.
We also make money through freelance writing and writing online, on our own sites, as well as on online writing sites that we join. We also do photo editing, Internet research, on page search engine optimization, and pretty much anything that goes with these different job descriptions!
We do work locally, here in South Africa where we live, and also for International clients, mostly through the freelance job site, oDesk.
We have found that there are many people struggling to find work, or at least struggling to make some extra income that can improve their financial situations, not just here in South Africa.
Many of the articles that we write for our own sites and for online writing sites are about how others can also make money online, or at home, even offline.
It is so often that all one needs to make money at home is to have a computer and Internet connection (the only costs involved,) but the problem comes in when people don't want to spend time reading and learning how to make money on the Internet, or from home, offline. There is so much free information all over the Internet. Just about anyone can make money if they only try.
We got desperate enough looking for work and not finding any work to try to make money on the Internet. We had to read and learn a lot along the way, and we still have to read and learn a lot along the way. We're not yet making as much as we would like to, and at times it's quite a struggle just paying the bills, but our efforts are starting to pay off, and we're so glad we made the effort to try make money online, and that we stuck to it.
