Online earnings for June 2007
Online earnings for June 2007
A lot has happened since last month and the blog and other online activity is going from strength to strength. I am not close to paying off the mortgage and becoming a professional blogger but I am a few steps closer.
I have started affiliate marketing and diarised the events over at www.blogconsultant.co.uk . So far I have lost about £50 doing it which I consider quite well for a newbie. I have read and re-read the following 4 e-Books:
I believe this will add, eventually, to my blog earnings.
I have had two more reviews for this month, one which I have posted already at:
http://www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/blog/2007/07/02/label-your-dog-for-time-management/
One of the reviews was ordered through ReviewMe and the other was ordered direct from my Advertising page. This brought in $180
I have also had 2 new text link advertisers on the site which brought in another $60.
I am still managing a real estate blog which brings in $600 per month.
Total blog income for June 2007 is $843

I have dropped Kontera and AuctionAds as a source of revenue as too many readers were complaining about the intrusiveness of Kontera, and AuctionAds wasn’t making that much and I decided to try with Amazon Associates.
Last months earnings totalled around $178, however I hadn’t factored in the blog management job I had as a direct result of this blog, so it would have been around $778. So my blog earnings have gone up about 15%. If I could continue this for the next six months I should be earning around $2100 per month, another 6 months would mean $4800 per month.
I have also managed to get a part time job at the Strathclyde University tutoring adults for a summer program for a course entitled “blogging for beginners”. This may also be another source of income if it comes off.
Multiple streams of income
When I first heard about multiple streams of income, I always thought it was too much hard work to set up. This has not been the case. I have set up streams of income along the way and it’s only hard work if you think about them altogether and managing them. However it’s not as difficult as it seems when broken down.
At this point I have to apologise to the poeple who do not like the money side of this blog, however it is a part of what I do and I have to say is one of my main motivators. As a source of personal development money helps all of us. With money we have choice, with choice we have more freedom, with more freedom we potentially have more happiness, with more happiness the world looks different.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I find your blog interesting. I am just getting in the game too at making money online and I am discovering that it is work. I really like your title. I wish you all the best and I’m looking forward to seeing July’s earnings.
Comment by Goal Setting College on 8 July 2007:
Steven, I’ve dropped both Kontera ads and Auction Ads as well. The performance of both is definitely trading off the visitor’s experience. Interesting, I’ve noted a slight increase in adsense income as a result of dropping off the Kontera Ads. And congrats on the growth in your blog earnings…I’m sure you’ll be able to turn professional soon…
Cheers, Ellesse

Thanks Ellesse
I have also noted a difference in the adsense clicks since stopping Kontera, I think it annoyed the hell out of some readers.
I like the Inspirational stories feature you are running on your blog. How is the blog going?

Hi Steven,
Congrats on your earnings. Not too many people can do what you do. Keep at it and it will increase!
Looks like we share quite a bit in common when it comes to blog revenue. You may want to check out Linkworth.com for advertisers as well. Great passive income!

Hi Belinda
thank you for your comments, it makes it all worthwhile when I receive comments like this.

Congratulations on your earnings, Steve. I’ve only just found your website but it looks as though there’s a wealth of interesting information here and I’m looking forward to having a look around.
Have you tried making a bit of extra cash using cashback websites? I recently wrote a guide to utilising this method that you may be interested in:
How to double £15 to £30 in 30 minutes
It looks like adsense is one of your biggest earners, as it is for me. How do find the right balance between paid-for reviews and free content. I’ve toyed with putting paid reviews on my website for a while but feel it may put off my visitors. Any tips

Hi Arkad
Thanks for the link I will check it out later. I think the trick to writing paid reviews is making sure it is of use to your readers. I think most readers understand the need to monetise blogs and I don’t think your readers would bother too much.
One tip I would give is to let your readers know it is a paid review and don’t try and fool them into thinking it is a personal review.
Hope this helps.
