   Honestly, no. And I think I would have been sadly disappointed if I had. I think my hourly wage works out at £0.01 an hour online over each month.
   I seriously am hoping that just good old fashioned hard work from morning to night will pay of in twelve to eighteen months.

   No way... I would have never got started with the fun of writing if I'd stopped to make a business plan!  I don't see the point in making a business plan for something which is mainly a fun hobby for me.  Intriguing question though.

   Absolutely not.
   
   I came to Hubpages from freaking myspace blogging.  A business plan would have required that I actually know how the internet marketing game worked, and how the search engines work.  I didn't know those things at all.
   
   Hubpages ran a front page article or blog which was an interview with a Russian Gentleman living in the states by the name of Misha, and when I read that interview and saw that both Hubpages and Misha stated that his Adsense earnings at one point were averaging around one hundred dollars per day - you can bet your bottom dollar that I got really freaking interested right then and there.
   
   I started learning how this stuff works, and how it works is forever changing.  I now. . . .have a sort of tentative plan.

   I didn't make a business plan but now I have been here a few weeks I think it is a good idea to set some daily targets for what you want to achieve, otherwise how will you know how you are doing? That is if you are here to make money. If you are here just to write then that is fine also, no need for a plan in that case.
