May came in at $1427 which was a relief after a couple of sub $1000 months in a row. My plans to spend some time living in New York in the autumn are shaping up so I will need to get my earnings up a lot so it’s good to finally see a step in the right direction!
Earnings Breakdown:
- Google Adsense – $284 – Adsense is creeping up slowly from some pitiful months I’ve had recently and, as usual, I have no idea why. I’m hoping to keep earning at least $300 or around there for the next wee while until my newer sites start to show up in Google and hopefully add to the total.
- Affiliate Sales – $673 – Same ol’, same ol’.
- Linkworth – $10 – Not much to say… one advertiser cancelled. I might just nix these guys altogether.
- Private Link Sales – $370 – Links sales totaled $370 with most of the money coming from people who contacted me early in the month. A few people cancelled their links
- Writing – $90 – I wrote up four articles for another blog and raked in a bit of extra cash which was pretty helpful.
On Friday I’m leaving the sweet-ass farm that I’ve been on for a month and heading off into the middle of nowhere in the north of Nicaragua to study Spanish for a few more weeks. No electricity at all there… should be very interesting. At $130 a week for food, accommodation and four hours of one-on-one Spanish lessons, it will be another pretty cheap stint. I think it will be tough for me to be away from the net for a couple of weeks and I’m curious to see how I cope.
Sorry this post is a bit short and crap but I’m having some electricity problems at the moment and have a lot of work to do with very little battery charge and no way to recharge it today. Ah the challenges of working on the road!
