July was a bit better coming in at $1400 which is encouraging except that the only difference between last month and this month is due to a flurry of link renewals. I’m happy about earning a bit more but I don’t really see this month as a step forward at all.
Earnings Breakdown:
- Google Adsense – $372 – Yay Adsense jumped up by nearly $100, primariy due to a serious increase in earnings per click on some sites. The number of clicks is almost exactly the same but the amount per click for some sites has been huge compared to previous months. This isn’t really something I can control or predict but I hope the trend continues.
- Affiliate Sales – $625 – Affiliate sales saw a little bit more balance between them, but is still dominated by one. I sold four of Matt’s ebooks despite not giving it a glowing, sales pitchy review which was good to see.
- Linkworth – $10 – I thought my only remaining link had cancelled and I removed it but still got paid. Maybe it means that next month I won’t get paid. For $10… it doesn’t really matter either way.
- Private Link Sales – $377 – Due mostly to renewals, this was good this month and is what pushed me above the $1000 mark of last month. It seems like $1000 is my steady amount and that going above this depends on how many links I sell. I don’t like that, it makes me nervous especially since I only had one new link sale and next month I don’t have many potential renewals.
I have been spending a lot of time since arriving in New York on working on a site about the city similar to my London site and I’m hoping to have that more or less finished by the time I leave here on August 9th.
That will mean that when I get back to Canada the real work will start on trying to get some of these new sites of mine ranking with Google. It’s frustrating having four newish sites doing absolutely nothing for me. If and when these things ever kick in, that will be when I think I will see a jump up to the next level of base earnings. Maybe. Hopefully. We’ll see.
