I wrote this blog post, and just to see what would happen I turned the book links into Amazon affiliate links. I made $291.99.

That's pretty impressive. If you don't mind me prying, how long did it to take to rack up those earnings (guessing 2 months since it was posted) and where did most of your traffic for that post come from (rss subscribers vs search engine referrals)?

1 month. Amazon takes a while to deliver payment, and I just got my first payment a couple of days ago. However, earnings went way down after the first month. This month I only made $17.
HN was the biggest source of traffic, followed by reddit. A bunch more came from twitter, facebook, google+, as people shared the article.

#15http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2818128 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3958812 how did you go from being 14 to being 16 in less than a year? Very fishy
I remember when I was 14, it was cool to say you were 18---not 16, but then again, I'm not from the UK.
Just a bit suspicious since this is the fourth or so thread this user has been either indirectly or directly asking for money

Still a nice bonus for taking the time write some original content. Thanks for sharing the info.

I'm actually 15, I mentioned 16, because of the same reason people look differently at 17 year olds and 18 year olds.

Heh, I'm not asking for money this time, just that sometimes my threads gets buried. HN is great at giving suggestions from what I've seen and I've indeed received some useful one this times. Again, sorry if I sound suspicious, I can add my system's pics if you want.

#19There's a great deal of fairly unskilled work available on oDesk - copy editing, transcription, basic web design and so on. Odesk have their own system of skills tests, so you can assess your own abilities and demonstrate them to prospective employers.
Pay is generally quite low because of the competition from workers in low-income countries, but if you make the effort to develop good relationships with clients and earn good feedback you could easily make several hundred dollars a month in your spare time.
