Bad economy seem to be effecting everybody in some ways, webmasters included. I used to earn enough money from the websites that gave me flexibility to run my sites covering costs for marketing, hosting etc.

Last two months incomes been down by 40%! One of the factors effected my income is change of hosting for my best earning site; it caused the site not working properly for about a month. Then bad economy added up.

How do you survive in bad economy? After giving some thought I went for the basics, cut down expenses. I minimized the marketing for sites that earn less. Then I have some employees I had to let go. Now I am earning close the expenses, although I am still covering some costs from my own pocket. Its time for duck now waiting to get things better.
