Is there such a thing as a Free lunch?

I've decided to conduct an experiment...how much money can I make from the internet in 1 year starting out with $0.00

On November 6th 2006 exactly 1 year from today I will take my wife to lunch, depending on how much I earn from the Internet depends on what she'll get , will we be eating in McDonalds, a Local resturant or In a 5 star hotel.

At 9.00 am this morning I started this experiment by signing up to a number of pay to read programs The plan is to continue with these until i can get enough money into an E-gold account to invest in some other program

Progress so far

Earned 40 cents
Recieved $0.00
Current planned lunch location..Skid Row
