Online Income for June 2008

July 7, 2008 by

June was slightly, and I mean slightly, better than May.  Already, July is looking a little bit better than both with potential to be a lot better.  Time will tell.  Of course, July would have to be the most busy month of the year so far with things that require my presence away from a computer.  So, if July beats June, it will likely be mostly luck.  Here’s the numbers for June.

  • TLA: $40.09
  • Adsense: $110.31
  • Linkworth: $49.00
  • Amazon: $7.14
  • Kontera: $39.56
  • ClixGalore: $8.00

Grand Total: $254.10

That’s an increase of just over 5% from June.  Not bad, but it’s way down from the high of $486 in March.  Here’s looking at you July!

Online Income for May 2008

June 23, 2008 by

Well, it’s the 23rd of June.  And I’m just now getting my Online income report out.  Too bad it isn’t because it took me that long to add it all up.  In truth, it’s been a rather busy month and I kinda forgot about it.  That and it was rather pathetic, so I really didn’t see the need.  But, without further ado, here it is.

  • TLA: $39.33
  • Adsense: $79.97
  • Linkworth: $49.00
  • Amazon: $32.74
  • Kontera: $36.64
  • ClixGalore: $4.00

Grand Total: $241.93

That’s a decrease of $207.29 (46.14%) from April.  Ouch.

That’s about all I have to say about it though.  Adsense nosedived.  Not exactly sure why, but it’s come back only slightly so far in June.  Working on pushing some other things and we’ll have to see how that turns out.  Most likely won’t see any results from that until at least July if not a little later in the year.

Online Income for April 2008

May 3, 2008 by

Well, another month has passed, and it’s time to tally up the revenue for the month.  Keep in mind that this income is from all of my online sites, not just this one.  I could break it down, but that would be a little more trouble than I care to take.  So, here’s the income from April of 2008.

  • TLA: $35.50
  • Adsense: $182.58
  • Linkworth: $49.00
  • Amazon: $23.19
  • CJ: $52.60
  • Private Ads: $65.00
  • Kontera: $33.25
  • ClixGalore: $8.00

Grand Total: $449.22

Overall, that’s a drop of 7.62% from March.  We’re headed into the summer months which tend to be a bit slower as everyone starts enjoying the outside weather.  I’m still hoping to work a little harder on a couple of the sites that I’ve been neglecting, but I too want to go outside.  Overall, I’m happy with the month, but would love to have seen an increase instead of what is essentially a stay even.  I’ve got a few new ideas that I’ll be implementing in the latter half of May, so we’ll see if that helps in May and into June.

Online Income for March 2008

April 2, 2008 by

After a pretty flat February (only increased by $2.62), I can’t help but be a little impressed with my March.  Whether it’s the posting schedule (I don’t think it was) or just some of the changes I’ve been made (not that either.  at least not wholly.), or maybe some random mix of those and several other items, March was a pretty darn good month.  Not only that, but it put me over the threshold on many of the accounts, so I should be receiving some pretty nice checks in the coming days.  So, here’s the numbers for March 2008:

  • TLA: $43.66
  • Adsense: $225.00
  • LinkWorth: $49.00
  • Amazon: $36.54
  • CJ: $25.90
  • Kontera: $56.23
  • Shareasale: $27.92
  • ClixGalore: $22.00

Grand Total: $486.28

That’s good for an increase of $148.39, or 43.92% over February.   I’ll take it.  So, why the increase?  TLA is up a little on account of me lowering the price of one of my properties (not this one.  I don’t use TLA here anymore) enough to sell out the spots.  Quantity wins over quality there.  Adsense is up, but mostly just on increased traffic and a little bit of a CPC increase.  I don’t attribute the increase in traffic to the posting schedule here only because the traffic increased almost everywhere.  I’ve been doing a little extra SEO and I’d like to think that that is what caused the increase.  My guess it it’s just fickle ol’ Googley Moogely again.

Amazon is up, but February was a horrible month for Amazon, so that isn’t saying much.  A couple of higher ticket items certainly helped there though.  CJ came through with yet another of the sporadic commissions that I seem to pick up here and there.  Not regular by any means, but again, I’ll take it.  Kontera keeps rising after a pretty precipitous drop after December.  Up over the $50 mark this month which would be nice to keep going.  Shareasale increased from $0 last month to $27.92 this month.  All on one sale.  The funny thing there is that the sale was from a PPC campaign that ended on February 13th.  The only other major increase comes from ClixGalore.  The reward there nearly doubled from $1.25 per signup to $2 per.  That and an overall increase in sign ups and you get a pretty nice number for a banner that I haven’t touched in forever.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this month.  The increases are nice to see and I really am hopeful that I will be able to continue them on into April.  There are still quite a few things that I would like to continue improving and hopefully that will help me increase those numbers each month.  I’d really like to see myself over the $500/ month mark consistently in the next Quarter.  I think it can be done, but only with some more work on my part.

Here’s to March!  On to April!
