November Earnings

December 1, 2007 by
Filed under: General 

Now that it is officially December, I will conform like the majority of the other bloggers and post my earnings. My blog is only 23 days old, so I have no doubt in my mind that these numbers will mean nothing or represent any accurate numbers compared to next months earnings, but I thought I would post them so in a few months to a year I can look back at every month and see (hopefully) a large growth graph.

I own a few sites other than this blog, so I will split this up into two parts. The first will be for just my blog (for later graphing purposes), and the second part will be all of my websites combined (For fun).

Total November Earnings from my blog alone: $8.84

Adsense: $8.84
Kontera: ~$2 (I stopped using this, so this will be excluded from the total)
Summary: I stopped using Kontera, and I denied all advertisers who came to me because I did not want to start monetizing my blog until it was at least a month old. Most of my time was also spent setting up the design and getting everything worked out (plugins). I feel that $8.84 will be EASILY beaten next month when I start fully marketing the blog.

Statistics:

  • Alexa Rank: 448730
  • Rank for October: N/A
  • Technorati Rank: 174,961, Authority: 45, 7 fans
  • Technorati for October: N/A
  • Total Visitors: 3,995
  • Total Pageviews: 10,886
  • RSS Subscribers: 60 subscribers, 22 Reach
  • 38 posts, 201 comments, 41 spam comments blocked

    • Revenue from ALL combined websites: $1746.03 – $58/day

  • Adsense: $66.03 ($61.03 + $5 adsense referral).

    • This is down from my average of $400/m because I have sold a few big sites before I started this blog on the 7th of November.

  • Paypal: $1680

    • rssHugger, WordHugger, and the sale of a few undisclosed websites. I do not expect my Paypal income to be as high next month because I have made rssHugger free, and now all my new websites are starting from scratch (I am not selling any more websites to bump up the income number).

    What did YOU make this month?

      2. $1680 income for a month. Congratulation. How about the expenses?

      3. I didn’t even keep track. Zero was spent on marketing/promotion, but I think rssHugger’s launch rang up about $730. ($400 johnchow review, $100 review elsewhere, $230 for design/coding). I am not too worried about it though, as rssHugger will be promoted for the next 10 years, so I will easily earn it back through subscribers over the course of time.

      4. Got an email from TLA saying that I earned $2.25. I haven’t checked the rest of the providers. But wouw, I didn’t realize you paid $400 for johnchow’s review? No wonder he only stopped by my site but didn’t mention anything about my posting on the daily fluctuation of their RSS readers (JC vs JS) in November. :lol: I was too naive.

      7. Wow. I have to say I’m rather impressed with this blog. Just found it via your guest post on Shoemoney.com. You wouldn’t mind if I wrote a review and gave you some link love would you? Whenever I find a blog I really like, I usually do. So expect to see a review of this blog at PoeticMoney

      9. not a bad income for a few sites that are just starting. Do you full time do this blog and the other ventures? If so, do you put in a full day or week?

      10. @Serge: You could say I am on the computer full time, but I am not actively promoting my sites all day every day. =)
