June Earnings Report

Bah to June! More of the same. I came in at just over $1000 which is twice as much as I’m spending but I’m getting sort of sick of being stuck around this amount. I had this problem when I first started out, not being able to get above the $100 mark for ages and then getting stuck at $300 for awhile too.

Earnings Breakdown:

  • Google Adsense – $275 – Adsense is also floating around at the same spot. This month is looking up though plus I have a bunch of websites that I think will do well with Adsense that I’m working on getting into the SERPs.
  • Affiliate Sales – $684 – My living in London site is getting a lot of traffic these days and I think it’s about time I load it up with some affiliate programs. I have a few that are good matches and I’m curious to see if I can make them work.
  • Linkworth – $10 – For $10 a month I’m not sure why I risk the possible backlash from Google. I think I will give them the heave-ho at th eend of this month.
  • Private Link Sales – $30 – No new ads and a few cancellations. I haven’t really been pursuing link sales as I’ve been wanting to move away from them but I still really need them to pad my income so I might stop being so passive in this area.

I’m hoping these new sites I’ve built will show up in the Google results soon. Plus I’m still waiting for my living in Sydney site to get any Google love at all which is frustrating because I know that will turn into a nice little earner when it does. I plan to put some serious time into link building for them once I get back to Managua in a week.

I think these past few months have been evidence of the fact that I didn’t do much work at all earlier in the year. I’ve been playing catch up since I’ve been in Nicaragua as best as I can and am feeling pretty positive about the sites I’ve just launched and the projects I have on the go. Roll on July!
