Earnings For September 2009
This is the low down of my activities for September 09
So the month of September is over and what has been achieved during my money making experiment? Well I have finally seen the light and have started to invest my hard earned online money in tools and virtual real estate that should hopefully improve my fortunes.
I Bought Market Samurai
After completing the 30 Day Challenge for the second year, I have now purchased Market Samurai, the keyword tool that was what we used to do all our research with.
During the challenge we had an incredible 40 day free trial and with the very well made video tutorials created by the Market Samurai ninja team, I really got to understand the benefits so I bought it. I still have a lot to learn in order to really gain all the benefits but I wanted to get it at the discounted price and I will always have the videos to refresh my memory.
Time To Invest In My Own Host Websites
After checking my adsense earnings, I have noticed that I have double the amount of free websites (blogger blogs) compared to my hosted sites but they produce roughly the same amount of money. I have finally realised that I should not be afraid of to spend £4-6 for a domain name because I am now confident enough to believe that I can make that amount of money back in adsense without too much problem.
Even if it turns out to be a dud keyword phrase, all is not lost and if it is a good choice then I will be quids in and taking one step forward towards building up a successful portfolio. To that end, I have purchased two new sites this month and hope to get some content on them during the next couple of weeks.
My Goal To Create 50 Amazon Related Hubs & Barrels
My earnings for September are fairly consistent because I was concentrating on creating hubpages and info barrels for Amazon affiliate links. I took on board the tips provided by Tracey Edwards about how to make money with Amazon and set a goal of producing 50 posts. I didn’t think that I would make it as I got a little jaded and despondent in the middle of the month; however I got my second wind and managed to churn out the majority of them in the last few days.
I am very happy to report that I have already achieved a couple of sales already and hope to see a few more over the next few weeks as the hubs and barrels settle into Google’s search engine lists.
So to my earnings for September 09:
Adsense earnings from Hubs = £34.69
Adsense earnings for Info barrels = £28.65
Adsense earnings from Free blogger blogs = £25.88
Adsense earnings from my Hosted sites = £25.86
Total Adsense earnings = £115.08 (last month £103.28)
Total earnings from Amazon this month = £13.75
I will most probably be cutting down on the amount of hubs and barrels that I produce as I concentrate on my own sites so it will be interesting to see how my earnings will fare next month.
I also need to investigate other possible ways of monetizing my sites so that I am not dependent on adsense and Amazon.
I would love to know how others have done this month. Comments are always appreciated.
