What am I doing?

Hi
I am what you call an amateur blogger with big dreams. I started playing around with blogs about a year ago with the sole purpose of earning some extra bucks. I've read about how easy it can be to earn extra money with google AdSense and thought I'd give it a try. Man, was I wrong, you really have to work your butt off and still no guarantee that you'll get the desired outcome. I've got all kinds of blogs running at the moment eg. bikini blog, family event photo blog, illusions blog, job classifieds blog, jokes blog, celeb blog, gospel lyrics blog, etc.

My Story...
I am a full time employed father and husband that just cannot seem to make ends meet. I also do some part time draughting work for a local furniture manufacturer. Some time ago, I picked up a fax at work "work from home bla bla bla". I visited the website listed on the pamphlet and read about this amazing "work from home""get rich""proven systems". This got me very interested and I found myself searching the net for more online earning opportunities. Around every corner, you are promised the world and told how easy it is to make money, BUT FIRST YOU HAVE TO PAY SOMEBODY! SCAM UPON SCAM UPON SCAM.
There are so many people out there looking to earn some money and more people out there wanting to scam them. WOW!!
I came across a very interesting blog/forum called "A Cape Town Blog by Chris M". amazing stuff. This guy actually signs up to these "work from home (wfh)" systems and then reports back on the legitimacy of the site. He has quite a following and amazing feedback.
Because I am not very clued up with all this affiliate marketing stuff, I opted for google AdSense(comfort zone).
My first cheque of R1 000.00 is on it's way (so say google), very exciting mmm. It's by blimey time, one year later...
Anyway, where to from here?

I decided to document my online earning journey just for the hell of it. Someone out there might be helped by this, who knows?

another day i say :)
