July 2010 Income Report and Update

I know I promised a series of posts about backlinks, keywords, etc., but before I get into that I wanted to post my income from July and also update you on some new projects. First, let’s get to the earnings…

Income from ReplaceYourSalary.com

ClickBank: $69.14
PayDotCom – $140.85
Angela’s Backlinks: $45
Paul’s Backlinks: $12
Yarie: $16.18
Google Adsense: $33.61
SFI: $17.54
Project Payday: $13.50 (commissions earned from promoting the program, not actually using it)
AdFish – $29.40
ResponsiveData – $24
Ads – $90
FlexSqueeze WordPress Theme – $38.10

Total = $529.32

Income from Internet Marketing Services

It’s been a pleasure to be able to work for a highly successful internet marketer. I’m able to learn from and apply the same strategies to my online business, all of which I’ve blogged about here at one time or another.

Total = $120

Income from Proofreading/Re-writing/Editing Services

As I said previously, I’ve gotten a decent amount of freelancing work last month. It’s great 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.

Proofreading – $63

Total = $63

Income from Re-writing Service via David Hurley’s PLR Article Service Membership

It has been an honor to be able to partner with David, a good online friend of mine, and provide the re-writing portion of his article membership. To learn more about his PLR article service, visit the link above.

Total = $75

Total online income from all sources…

$787.32

July is my best month yet. Getting closer to my goal of $1,000 in a month. I know that if I spend more time marketing that I could get there quicker, but I’ll admit, I’m sometimes lazy. It happens.

Anyway, I have some updates for you on some new projects I’m working on.

I have entered into the niche Adsense site arena and got my first site up. I won’t link to it here for multiple reasons, but it’s a niche that has potential to bring in some decent money from Adsense. I’ve only begun building backlinks to it, but it’s already on the first page of Google in the #4 position.

I hope to get it to the top spot shortly so that it will get more traffic and start to get clicks. Testing and tweaking will most likely be necessary. I’ll keep you updated on the performance of that site each month.

Also, I’m planning on entering another niche once my micro niche site starts bringing in some revenue. This niche won’t be micro and I won’t be using Adsense to earn money, but it’s a niche with barely any competition and a lot of hungry buyers. I’ll promote a single Clickbank product and create a funnel for visitors to get them to the order page.

That’s about it for now. As always, feel free to leave your comments below…

Good post! Paydotcom as I know is one of the best source income. Come on, your goal of $1,000 in a month is closer.

@Joko Susilo,

Thanks! I’m hoping by the end of the year… we’ll see.

PayDotCom is good and offers many quality products to promote. I also like Clickbank as well. Thanks for visiting, and I hope to see you around more often.

Wow Alan, that’s awesome, not so easy to make money with the MMO niche when promoting to other marketers, so your earnings are great! Good luck on the $1000 goal.

@JR @ Internet Marketing,

Thanks, JR! Yeah, the MMO niche is tough for sure. That’s why I want to venture out into other niches as well.

@Dennis Edell @ Direct Sales Marketing,

Sweet! No problem, buddy.

I wanted to ask you, though, how long does it take to get the commission once it’s posted to your account?

@Alan Mater, That’s a little confusing. I believe they give it 60 days for refunds and stuff.

When I asked, he said something like, if it’s at the beginning of a month, then it will be two months, if it’s towards the end of a month, then it will seem more like one month.

Told ya, confusing. lol

You have got a great income. Just surprised you made more money with pay dot com than adsense and clickbank.

@shuvo,

Thanks! The income varies from month to month, so sometimes I could make more with Clickbank, and sometimes less. Adsense really doesn’t earn me a whole lot.

Glad you stopped by and hope to see you around.

Great article, i like your honesty about your earnings & income. Quite impressed with the range of income sources you have been able to build.

@Alan Maddick @ Bookkeepers,

Thank you! I wouldn’t last long online if I wasn’t honest. You can’t build trust on dishonesty.

Multiple income sources is recommended for many reasons, specifically in case one stops working.

Thanks for your feedback.
