January 2009 Review
So here it is, my first review for 2009. I’m currently not feeling well, I believe it to be food poisoning, so this post is going to be brief.

Earnings
I received a King-of-Shaves razor for which I performed a review. This has a market value of ~$15.25, but as this isn’t specifically income I won’t be including it in the final total.
I completed a paid review for Shop Wiki, which earned just $9.
Net Partner purchased a 125×125 banner advert costing $10 for 30days. Payment was received by PayPal – who kept $0.69 for themselves. My income from private advertisements totals $9.31.
I sold one copy of OIO Publisher which earns me 90% of the sale value. I am currently awaiting a $22.50 payment to ‘mature’ over the next few days and then that should appear in my PayPal account also.
Project Wonderful have paid me $10 straight to PayPal for adverts displayed throughout January and December.
Kontera has earned me $0.05 this month, but I am beginning to use it on other websites and I hope that my earnings will increase quite a bit over the coming months.
Before fees, my total earnings for January are sitting at $51.55. My goal for 2009 is to earn £2009 ($2961.75) in which case I need to average $246.73 per month. I was $195.18 below target during January, so during February and March I want to work harder to pass this target and beyond.
