Earnings For August 2009

Here is my monthly update regarding my money making activities.

My Hubs

I am happy to see that the amount of money I have made with hubpages is at a similar level to last month’s efforts especially since I have only created a couple more since completing my 100 hubs in 30 days challenge. I just need to add a couple of article backlinks to give them more strength.

My Info Barrels

Info barrels have earned well so far. I also wrote 100 articles so just need to give them a couple more weeks to mature to see any more success.

Amazon Affiliate Hubs

I would now like to try my hand at making money with Amazon on hubpages. I have recently read an article by Tracey Edwards about how to make money with Amazon so I am taking her advice. I would like to get 50 hubs done by the end of September. Once I can see which ones rank well, I hope to then create blogger blogs for them so that they become blogger blog niche sites.

My Blogger Blogs

I have noted that the blogger blogs that I have previously set up took about 3 weeks to appear in the search engines. I tend to look at the first 100 results. Looking any further is a waste of time.

I am happy to note that August gave me my first £10 day from adsense (£11.09 to be exact) and I also achieved in excess of £100 for this month too. Yippee!!! This is great news, considering I earned around £20 a couple of months ago. It’s all down to reading lots of helpful info from the likes of:

Grizz at how to make money online for beginners

Ben at how to make money on online with SEO

Court at the keyword academy

I had lofty ideas of getting to the point of earning £1,000 for the month of December. I am not sure that this is entirely realistic but I will continue to hold this figure in my head. There is nothing wrong with aiming high is there?

Thirty Day Challenge 2009

I completed the 30 Day Challenge 2009 organized by Ed Dale and the gang. The aim of their free 30 day online tutorial is to show you step by step how to find a good keyword, how to set up your own website with an affiliate product and the work needed to create backlinks in order to get your site ranking on the first page of Google. I wasn’t as focused on it as I was last year but I am happy to say that I successfully made my $1.00 within the 30 days. My website is currently at position 14 and I made my first Amazon sale on day 21 or 22. I need to add a couple more backlinks in order to get it on the first page of Google.

I just checked the website I set up during the 30 Day Challenge 2008. It is currently at position. Wow!!! It is at position 3. There are 4 really rubbish posts on it and I have just slapped adsense on it. The last time I checked on it, it was hovering around position 9. I am well chuffed.

All in all August has definitely been a good month.

My Earnings For August 2009

This started out being just an adsense earnings review by now that I have made a start on using Amazon, I will also include these figures here too.

Adsense earnings from hubpages = £41.17

Adsense earnings from Info barrels = £23.59

Adsense earnings from my hosted sites = £21.64

Adsense earnings from blogger blogs = £16.88

Total Adsense earnings for August 09 = £103.28 last month = £81.51

Amazon Earnings

I made my first Amazon money last September (from my 30DC website). Since then I haven’t really done much but now I want to make a real effort. So my earnings for the year is quite pitiful really but I hope to see a real jump next month.

Total Earnings from Amazon so far = £17.93

So far so good. Roll on September.

I Completed My 100 Hubs in 30 Days Challenge

The challenge has been completed. I have done it. My 100^th hub was published 4 days before my own imposed deadline. I am very excited about looking at my earnings, which I will evaluate in a couple of weeks in order to let my hubs get into google’s search engines for a while.

I was motivated by Ben at make money online with seo and I am grateful for all his tips and feedback.

I visited his blog on quite a regular basis to get more motivation to carry on and to help decide what type of keywords to look for and use.

I think I found a few that will be good money makers but also quite a lot that will end up making only $0.01 – 0.05 per click but this is all a learning curve and I am still new at it. I hope to be able to evaluate much quicker which keywords will be the real money makers.

I don’t expect to be able to make as much money as the big boys but the great thing about this type of money making venture is that there is a place for everyone at any level to be able to earn some level of adsense and all those tiny clicks do mount up too.

I am happy to be able to write 400 word articles at the moment and hope to get at least one ezine article and one InfoBarrel article link for each of the good hubs that I currently have as well as doing some interlinking.

As soon as I get a real handle on this keyword stuff, I will create a few more hubpage profiles and get writing even more.

I am still in the formative stages where I am making school boy errors but I know that the day will come when this will all be like a walk in the park. I certainly look forward to that day.
