January 2010 Income Report
Posted by Alan Mater on Feb 14, 2010
Ahh… the first income report of the new year. This is where it gets really exciting as I can now use this report as a base for the next 11 reports of this year. I’ll be able to see how much my income is improving (or not) and tweak stuff as necessary to hopefully squeeze more money out of my site. All the while I’ll be improving on my marketing and driving more traffic to my site.
So, without further ado, here it goes.
- ClickBank: $63.70
- PayDotCom – $28.17
- Angela’s Backlinks: $7.50
- Paul’s Backlinks: $8
- Yarie: $43.81
- Google Adsense: $29.33
- SFI: $25.70
- Project Payday: $1.50 (commissions earned from promoting the program, not actually using it)
- Responsive Data: $9
- MaxBounty: $7.17
Total Income for the month comes out to: $223.88.
Now, I know that’s not a lot and nothing to get really excited about. But, you have to start somewhere and most never even get this far.
I’d like to introduce an exciting addition to my monthly income reports. I’ve been doing freelance internet marketing work for a very successful internet marketer for some time now. This has been great as I get to learn from him and at the same time make some additional income each month.
Total income for my internet marketing services totals $160.
Also, if you didn’t know I also do proofreading/re-writing freelance work as well. My total income from those services came out to $75 for last month.
So, total income from all three sources comes to $458.88
That’s it as far as income for January. I’ll be including all three of these sources in my monthly income reports from now on.
As you can see, making money online is very possible. 
December Blog Post Roundup
Posted by Alan Mater on Jan 2, 2010
December was a very busy month for offline commitments, not to mention Christmas celebration and New Year’s.
I was able to post a considerable amount, although not as much as I would like. I did however meet one of my goals, and that was to get my Alexa Rank down to 250,000 or less. The lowest reached was 245,449.
I was happy to reach my accomplishment, and I have my readers to thank for that. Thank you! 2009 was a great year, and I look forward to great things to come in 2010.
Let’s recap the posts for December:

Make Money With CPA Affiliate Networks
Posted by Alan Mater on Dec 20, 2009
In one of my previous posts about working from home with affiliate marketing, I talked about how affiliate marketing is the easiest way to get started making money online.
This post is going to cover a way in which you can start generating money with affiliate marketing without having to actually sell anything. Interested? You should be. You can earn a decent amount of money from your web traffic by promoting CPA ads.
CPA stands for Cost Per Action. The way CPA ads work is that you promote a particular ad or ads that are related to the content and niche of your site. CPA ads can be found for practically any niche you’re in.
When someone comes to your site and sees a link to a product or service you’re promoting for a CPA network, and they click on the link, they’ll be taken to the owner’s site for that offer. Your affiliate ID will be included.
Here’s the best part. All that person has to do is take some sort of ACTION. This action doesn’t involve actually buying anything. If the person is interested in the offer and fills out a form to learn more, you automatically get credited for the sign-up. This earns you a set commission into your account for that CPA affiliate network.
The commission earned for each sign-up can range from $1 to $3. If a sale is generated, the commissions can be $20 all the way up to $60 or more, depending on the offer.
Here’s an example…
You’re promoting a survey site for a reputable company, and they’re paying $3 per lead. Someone comes to your site, sees the ad and clicks on the link. They go to the survey site and read over the offer. There’s a form that requests their name and email address so they can be sent further information (which is how leads are generated). They fill out the form, and you’re automatically credited with $3.
It’s that simple. You don’t have to sell anything at all. Although, the money you can earn is a lot more if you do make a sale on top a lead.
Here’s a tip: The shorter the form is, the more likely someone is going to fill it out. So, try to find offers that only have one or two lines for them to fill in. If you can’t, don’t worry, if it’s a good offer it may convert just as well. It all comes down to testing different offers.
Here are the two CPA Affiliate Networks that I use and earn money from:
I just want to note that getting approved for CPA affiliate networks can be a little tricky. If you decide to sign up for one of these and run into any problems, just let me know, and I’ll help you out.
Also, both of these companies have the option to be paid directly to your PayPal account, which is very nice.
Do you use CPA affiliate networks to earn money? What companies do you use? How are you doing with them? Share your comments below…
November Income Report
Posted by Alan Mater on Dec 14, 2009
I’m back from Virginia after visiting with family for my cousin’s college graduation. My fiance and I had a great time, although it didn’t last long. Here’s a picture taken atop Afton Mountain, Virginia, along I64.
November was a great month for this site, mainly due to a couple of advertisers, which you’ll see below.
Here’s the total November income for my ReplaceYourSalary.com site:
- Google Adsense – $20.76
- Yarie.com – $42.76
- SFI – $14.98
- Clickbank – $44.37
- Responsive Data – $6
- Free Traffic System – $10.00
- Angela’s Backlink Building Service – $7.50
- Paul’s Backlink Building Service – $4.00
Not a bad showing at all for last month. However, my biggest earner was for two ads on my home page. Two different people contacted me about advertising on my site, and after quoting a price, they both agreed.
2 Home Page Ads (6 months) – $150 each = $300
Total November income is: $450.37
Not bad at all for just one site. I made even more with my freelancing services, which pushed me well over the $500 mark, an accomplishment I’ve been looking forward to. Overall I’m very pleased.
This is proof that you CAN make money online.
