Multiple streams of income

You don’t need to put all your eggs in one basket. Think multiple streams of income. On this site I actually have six different streams of income. Can you count them all? Here’s a list:

1. Google Adsense ads (pay per click and pay per impression advertising)
   
   
2. Donations (via PayPal or snail mail — yes, some people do mail a check)
   
   
3. Text Link Ads (sold for a fixed amount per month)
   
   
4. Chitika eMini Malls ads (pay per click)
   
   
5. Affiliate programs like Amazon and LinkShare (commission on products sold, mostly books)
   
   
6. Advertising sold to individual advertisers (three-month campaigns or longer)

Note: If you’re reading this article a while after its original publication date, then this list is likely to change. I frequently experiment with different streams.
