I didn't have much time to learn today. It's the weekend, I live with my girlfriend and like to spend time with her and my friends. But, as long as I work at least a tiny bit, I will feel good :) (constant progress).
On the other hand, NEO pumped a lot as I expected! And I think it's only the beginning. 8-)

Summary
*All token prices are taken from CoinMarketCap at the time I am writing this article.
It feels amazing to break the $200 mark with almost no jobs earnings. 1 week ago, I was at $150, so I got a 33% growth from the crypto market. I think we will see great results in the next month at least :).
If you liked what you saw and read, the best way to encourage me is to upvote my posts and/or follow me. Really no need to tip, I prefer to deserve my earnings through upvotes.
I will Power Up all the Steem Dollars I earn from upvotes, and will count them in my holdings to help me accomplish my goal. I know STEEMs are a good holding, so I plan to not touch them for years.

Fun idea - not a big fan of affiliate marketing but it must serve a purpose for companies otherwise they wouldn't use it, plus you know it kind of fits right in here on Steemit.
Anyway, cool to see what you're doing and your progress, hopefully you'll soon get some Steemit love and get some high $ posts. I couldn't believe the first time I made a couple of comments here and they both got over $50 in upvote love! I've spent several hours writing some long, long posts about stuff that interested me. Some fell into the void with barely a click, my all time post had a payout of over $120 (total, about $90 net to me I think). I think I'm up about 300 STEEM now from various posts, comments, and curation rewards. Not bad for three months parttime.
You could spend a bit of time writing about some of the web programming stuff you're learning - put a beginners perspective on it. Might get some click love and help you on your goal.
Have you also thought of trying mechanical turk on Amazon?
And there are other pure transcription services, had a name of one but can't think of it right now, although I'm guessing that your translation stuff is more lucrative.
If you want someone a bit less desk-bound (are you trying to do this only in your non-day job free time?) there's always things like TaskRabbit, TumbTack, do some Lyft driving or something - although some people swear it is impossible to make money on those services (which makes no sense since people clearly do).
I'm guessing your end goal is to get competent enough at web programming you can build websites and do piecemeal programming work for others?
Anyway, gave you a 100% upvote and follow. Happy to chip more your way as you progress - hard work and sharing deserve to be rewarded. Hope it helps!

Thanks a lot for this genuine and rich comment :). Wow you got a $90 net earnings post on Steemit! I dream to get that kind of earnings per post eventually haha. Honestly, anything over $0.10 per post is nice at the moment. I really take everything I can. I guess my earnings will grow with time, as my followers base grows and my earnings skills grow too so I guess this challenge will get more interesting with time.
I took a quick look at mechanical turk on Amazon, but I focused on the sites I was working on (MicroWorkers, ClickWorker, UserTesting, ClixSense, etc.) and never tried it. But I focus on programming now.
About the translation, no I don't get paid very well. It took me close to 5 hours to get a $4 net pay, haha! The thing is when you start on Fiverr, you are a nobody, no review, etc. It's very tough to crack the listing and rank up, so I set my gig at 50%+ cheaper than any others to get a few customers, but I only got 1 buyer yet. Anyway, it's really not my focus right now, but I'll do any job I get there. I like it also because it really improves my translation skills.
About TaskRabbit and others, good suggestions thank you. But, I set this goal to be from using a computer and internet only. So no manual jobs.
Yes, my current goal is to get competent enough at web programming to build websites for customers and also build my own website(s) and earn money through mostly traffic ads (AdSense, etc.).
Also, I am starting to read tokens whitepapers to keep updated with the market and allow me to make good invesments. My current $200 value is peanuts for most people reading this, but the crypto market moves so much in bullish times, this $200 could jump up to $2,000 in a heartbeat if I make a good bet.

You know that thing where you're asked if you'd rather have a million dollars or take a dollar and double it every day? I always said I'd take the million, since it's not so easy to double your money every day. :) Keep up the good work.

I'd take the $1 and double it everyday for sure haha. As @o1o1o1o wrote, it takes only 20 days to become millionaire :).

Well if that was truly the offer then always take the $1 - there wasn't a contingency on the doubling and more than there was on getting the $1,000,000. After 20 days you'd have a million, after another a million million - which I believe is a trillion. Of course eventually you run out of markets to find more money so you have to assume the double your money every day is bogus. But like I said, that wasn't the deal.
But even if you only did it once every two weeks - that's still a million a year. Take $999,999 - spend, enjoy - take the remaining $1 and rinse and repeat. Puts you pretty much in the top 0.1% of earners with zero effort (just for comparison).

Couple more ideas if you want to use Steemit to earn - try checking out the Minnow Support Project. They run a bunch of competitions and help you get followers, boost your reputation and Steem power. I did a scavenger hunt run by @aggroed and ended up with almost $10 worth of STEEM.

I also regularly post photos - on #photography there are daily contents based on various themes and a lot of people follow those and upvote generously. I'll regularly net $0.50 for a single photo. If you like photos and have a decent online album of old shots use Google to search it for whatever the theme word is, pick out a good one and post it.
Some of the photo challenges are curated and have a prize offering:

Just an update on my previous post - the transcription service I mentioned is called Rev.com - they do transcription and translation, also offer video captioning. Really good company - I've heard some of their people speak and they have a great team of freelancers who love working for them.
You can sign up as a freelancer with them here:
