I have a small one that looks like it'll bring in about enough to buy a new laptop this year. It's taking maybe 60 hours so the rate sucks but those are mostly otherwise wasted hours where I'm already watching TV or other crap.
This is a direct result of doing Ed Dale's 30 Day Challenge last year. That's a free online course on internet marketing, especially on market testing, that often gets confused with a "make money fast" scheme. I went into it last year with what I thought was a decent product but soon realized that the online market (search hits) for it is tiny. Almost a year later and I still only get 20 hits a week on that one.
In the last week of the challenge I stumbled upon a market niche that works and now generates up to a thousand hits for me a week. It's not a market looking to spend money so my conversion rate has sucked, but I'm slowly finding what sells to them.
If I hadn't done this testing, I would have wasted some money and a lot of time trying to get the first idea off the ground. If you've got a product or service (or even just an idea for one), I'd recommend the 30 Day Challenge as a free/cheap way to get rolling.
