I’m back in Leogane, Haiti and am currently murdering mosquitoes on my computer screen so will keep this short or I’ll end up with a carcass-covered screen and a lot of bites. I earned $4643 last month which is great considering I’ve been on the road since early April.
Earnings Breakdown:
- Adsense — $510 – Yay, another +500 month! That’s all.
- Affiliate sales — $857 – This month was pretty average. I’d like to see this consistently above $1000.
- Advertising — $3064 – Huge month! I had a lot of new links which, as always, were emails from out of the blue. I had a couple of renewals and I’m still chasing a couple more.
- Ebook Sales — $63 – Nine sales.
Spending Breakdown:
This month I spent $961 with a pretty even spread across a bunch of different aspects of my business.
- Content Outsourcing — $250 – I’ve got a couple more quality Africa country guides now.
- Link Building Services — $206 – These are the monthly fees for two link building sites I’m using Linkvana (14 day trial for $5 affiliate link/50 free outsourcing credits affiliate link) and Build My Rank.
- Article Outsourcing — $120 – This was for articles to use on my link building networks… because writing my own makes my face hurt.
- Programming Outsourcing — $380 – I use Google maps loads on my sites and I’ve never really been fully happy with them. I headed on over to Elance and cound a guy who seems to know what he’s talking about. He’s going to bust out a WordPress plugin that’ll hopefully do what I want. It’ll be something that I use across a lot of my sites so it’s totally worth the money. If he gets my vision!
- Ebook — $5 – Monthly cost to sell my ebook.
I know I’ve been crap with posting! A few updates to come soon. I honestly haven’t been working at all, really, so there’s not much to report. But I’ll give a wee travel update soon. Thanks for reading!
