August 2011 Income Report
If you were looking for last month’s roundup, you didn’t miss it. I’m skipping it this month as things were hectic. I apologize if you were looking forward to it, but there is an awesome Archives section which you can browse posts by month, so have at it. 
One reason I’ve been busy is that I took a vacation this past weekend during the Labor Day holiday. I had the privilege of going to Rehoboth Beach, Delware with my girlfriend and some friends. We had a great time camping out and spending time on the beach. The weather was absolutely beautiful, which is a lot more than I can say for things here currently.
While there may not be an official roundup post for August, I did get my income stats together to create an income report for last month. Let’s see how I did…
Income from ReplaceYourSalary.com
- ClickBank: $23.98
- PayDotCom – $140.85
- Paul’s Backlinks: $24
- Google Adsense: $9.15
- Project Payday: $12 (commissions earned from promoting the program, not actually using it)
- AdFish – $77.60
- Ads – $215
- AshMax – $10.50 (Total monthly commissions from GDI and FTS)
- Affiliate Power Group – $56.79
- TBTrack – $21.75
Total = $567.62
Income from Proofreading/Re-writing/Editing Services
It’s an honor for me to be able to provide a high quality and much needed service, and it’s been an honor serving my clients. You can learn more by visiting the link below.
- Professional Proofreading Services
- Re-writing Service
Total = $35
Income from My Micro Niche Adsense Site
My micro niche site keeps improving each month. Google Adsense earnings for this month from the site totaled $0.31. This amount is included in my total Adsense income as reported above. I finally was able to add another page to my site, providing more related content for those searching for that topic. I believe adding more related pages will bring in more targeted visitors and produce more Adsense clicks. That’s the goal, anyway.
Total Online Income
Total online income IS…
$602.62
Income from GetBackYourExAdvice.com
You may recall that last month I decided to put Adsense ads up on this site. I’ve gotten some impressions, but no clicks yet. I’m still working on getting more traffic, and I have lined up some people to write content for the site so that it stays updated on a frequent basis.
Still shooting for the $1,000 a month mark… again!
As always, I welcome your comments below…

This is really great! $600 is no joke when it comes to an extra income; that’s a car payment, part of a mortgage or quite a few nights out on the town – not many people can say that with the economy the way it is – keep at it!

Why don’t you focus more on Adsense? On my blogs, it is the biggest earner. I do sell a few links, but over 80% of my revenue comes from Adsense. By the way, I am also trying to cross the $1000 mark. Somewhat close to it now.

@manjusha@ielts practice,
I get asked that a lot. I’m playing around with Adsense some and plan on testing positioning and getting better, targeted ads to show up.
Congrats on getting close to the 1k mark!

@Pam Sheraton,
That depends heavily on each individual. If conversions are decent, then all that would be needed is more targeted traffic. This can be achieved through various marketing efforts. The amount of time it takes depends on how much work you want to put into it.

I love posts like this. And I always give a lot of respect to people who have “make money online from home” sites and post a breakdown of their earnings. It takes a lot of guts, and it’s a great way of showing that it takes hard work and dedication, and it’s not as easy as people make it sound. Good luck with making $1000 next month.

@Maddy @Cheap Android phones India,
I would suggest testing various ad placements to see what works best. There are many options to consider as far as ads, such as CPA offers, Adsense, TextLinkAds, selling advertising space or going through a 3rd party site, etc. It all depends what you want.

@Kelli,
I currently do work full-time for a local ultrasound company.
The most I’ve made in a single month was around $45, I believe. That was a while ago when I had Adsense ads on my main home page. I may re-add them to see how they perform.
No problem, Kelli, I appreciate the questions.

Awesome stuff! It’s just great that you have been able to generate so much money working online. Congratulations. I am sure this must be inspiring stuff for those looking to get into home based businesses.
I think once you find your groove, working from home is just brilliant. It has several benefits – such as you get to avoid commuting to work; you can spend more time with your family; you end up being more productive; so on and so forth.

Nice post Alan and good to see your earnings. I am still not monetizing my blog so currently there is no income from my blog. I have decided to monetize once I reach the 5k visitors/month mark. All my income for now comes from the services I provide and some of my niche sites. Its my exam time here, so I won’t be able to do much at my blog so I don’t expect any increase in the monthly traffic for next 2 months. Maybe, I could reach the mark somewhere in January. Anyway thanks for taking your time and posting your earnings. It means a lot to many newbies who are wondering if it is really possible to make money online.
