Earnings For May 2010

It’s Sex and The City Time!- part 2!

The month of May has been a good one for my money making experiment.  I got a lot done but I could have done even more if I hadn’t been distracted by the fascinating blogs of all those other people who are doing what I am trying to do – that is to make money on the internet.

I discovered the following sites via web surfing and reading the comments on other people’s sites.  The stuff that I have read has been both interesting and also very enlightening.  It has helped me to confirm that I am doing certain things correctly but that there is still so much to learn and so much more opportunities out there.

If you are looking for further reasons why you should continue trying to make money online then take a look at the following sites for yourself and you are sure to feel your own motivation grow.

Earnings This Month

How Much Can You Earn From Adsense?

Most of these sites were not made particularly with adsense in mind. I will need to go through them and replace the less successful ones with something more suitable like Amazon or CJ product links. I am very happy to see the jump in results though.

Adsense earnings from Hubs = £122.74 last month = £69.80

Adsense earnings for Info barrels = £5.65 last month = £8.07

Adsense earnings from Free blogger blogs = £13.08 last month = £12.00

Adsense earnings from my Hosted sites = £83.49 last month = £69.55

Adsense earnings from Xomba, & Snipsly = £1.60 last month = £2.87

Unknown earnings = £3.89 last month = £2.01

Total Adsense Earnings = £230.45 last month = £164.30

How Much Money Can You Earn From Amazon Affiliate Links?

I am very pleased with the earnings for this month.  I have a lot of work to do if I want my UK affiliate links to increase.

Earnings from Amazon USA this month =£204.76 last month = £109.92

Earnings From Amazon UK this month = £2.13 last month = £12.42

How Much Money Can You Make With Clickbank Products?

After realizing that I will not be eligible for payment via Clickbank until I get 5 or more things bought via different credit cards, I thought I should try a little bit harder with this revenue stream.  Still baby steps though.  At the moment I have bought and set up one domain and have another one to work on.

Earnings From Clickbank = $11.04 = £7.53 – Last Month = $32.60 = £21.01

Making Money with Kontera

Kontera is only on my hubpages. I will most probably stay with it until I reach the payout limit.

Earnings From Kontera = $6.50 = £4.43 – Last Month = = $10.91 = £7.14

TOTAL INTERNET EARNINGS FOR MAY 2010

= £449.30 Last month = £303.57

This is a fantastic improvement on my earnings so far.  The great thing is that I can see that the work I am doing is actually making a difference. The overall numbers are heading in the right direction.  Slowly but surely I will get to the point where I able am to live completely from my online earnings.

Outsourcing My Website Content

I always thought that you had to be earning thousands in order to justify hiring someone to do some work for you.  After reading the blog posts from the people mentioned above, I decided to dip my toe in the water and signed up with Freelancer.com. I was a little worried about the quality of writing I would receive.  I initially requested 10 articles for $20.  The articles I got back were really well written so I will definitely be doing this again.  This is going to be excellent for the really boring keywords that I choose.  I can then concentrate on the more interesting stuff.

Buying Dot Info Sites

I set myself the target of buying 50 dot info sites and I have currently got 24. They will be a mixture of adsense sites, Amazon sites and clickbank sites.  19 out of the 24 have at least one article post at the moment.  The great news is that I have already made sales through a couple of these sites which is fab. I will continue to add posts and work on the back linking stuff.

Things To Work On In June

As well as  buying more domains , writing more hubpages and adding content to the new sites, I want to concentrate my efforts on the older domains that I have.  The earnings I have achieved are great but most of my sites are not on the first page of the Google results.  If I actually took the task of keyword research and back linking seriously I am sure that I would see a dramatic increase in my potential earnings. A more focussed approached is definitely needed.

So for June I want to:

• Buy at least 10 more dot info domains
• Order at least 10 articles for these sites via Freelancer.com
• Create 2 Clickbank sites
• Work on getting one or two of my older sites onto page 1 of Google search results
• As well as the normal article writing, surfing the net, watching TV and getting distracted by everyday life.

Hope all you fellow money makers have had good results for all your hard work for the month of May.  If you have any advice to share, I would really love to hear from you.

Good luck with your targets for June.
