September Earnings Report

This month I earned $1309. I still haven’t seen many results for my recent efforts so I’m hoping things keep improving from here on in. My Adsense earnings fell but a good month for selling advertising bumped me up.

Earnings Breakdown:

  • Google Adsense – $298 – Last month I got all excited because my Adsense had jumped above $400 and now it’s back down to its usual earnings range. As I build more and more sites this should be going up and up and up and it isn’t. Frustrating. If I keep building links to my new sites I expect this to rise eventually.
  • Affiliate Sales – $609 – For a variety of reasons which I will go into later, my usual affiliate isn’t coming through in quite the same way as it used to. I think it could be on the way out but I’m going to milk that cash cow for as long as I can. Fortunately an affiliate I have through ClixGalore had its best month ever and I will be working at improving this even further.
  • Advertising – $402 – I’m going to start calling this revenue stream ‘advertising’ instead of ‘link sales’. It’s been a really good month in this category and it would have been $140 better had I been paid on time for a renewal of ad sales. I had a great sale that will be monthly from here on in and I also had a few small renewals which is encouraging.

One thing that has changed for the better in September is that I have advertisers contacting me out-of-the-blue again. This usually seems to happen two or three times per month but it didn’t really happen much at all this summer. September was good and October is looking to be even better. I have already made a huge ad sale plus I have some big renewal possibilities so I’m hoping for a big month. I plan to be on the road again by the end of October so it would be a great time for a boost in earnings!
