I realize June is almost over, but I had so many things going on the beginning of the month. Between rolling out the new theme, posting a guest post, getting guest posts out to other blogs… and the list goes on.

I had already planned on getting May’s income report out late, and I still need to do a May blog post roundup, which will be published tomorrow. Things may seem a little screwy, but trust me, it’s all planned out.

Let’s get right into May’s earnings:

P.S. Only 10 days left until the end of June’s Comment Contest!

June is underway, and I’m excited to announce the first ever comment contest on this blog.

It’s been a long time coming, and I believe it’s time to start rewarding my faithful readers who take the time to comment and leave their feedback on my posts. Of course, I hope to bring in new readers as well and keep them coming back.

Contest Prizes

Prize winnings include (in no particular order):

1. $25 cash prize offered by Dennis Edell.

2. One-month banner ad (125X125) provided by Peter Lee, plus 10 free .edu backlinks package.

3 & 4. One-month free membership to David Hurley’s Internet Marketing Articles PLR site, offered by David Hurley and myself.

2 separate winners will each get one month free membership access. The membership fee will be refunded to you in full through PayPal by myself after your purchase. More details will be provided to the winners.

5. One-month link or banner ad on the home page of ReplaceYourSalary.com. Link will be “do follow.”

Contest Rundown

Winning is very easy and only requires that you comment regularly on this blog to have a chance to win.

Simply put, be on the “Top Readers” list at the end of June, and you’ll win one of the prizes mentioned above. The first-place winner will get to choose his/her prize. The rest of the winners will be awarded the remaining prizes in the order listed, as well as the order in which you won.

To know if you’re on the “Top Readers” list, you can find it on the right side-bar between NetworkedBlogs and Useful Links. It lists the top 5 commentators throughout the entire month, so as long as you’re on the list when I check it on June 30th, you’ll win.

Don’t quite understand how it works? Leave a comment below.

BONUS:

Now, here’s where it gets really fun. Everyone has a chance to win the bonus, so listen up.

Since this is my very first comment contest, I’d really like to get the word out about it, and I need your help.

Anyone that spreads the word about the contest and provides proof of doing so, you will receive a permanent link with your chosen anchor text on the winning results post that will follow the end of the contest.

It doesn’t matter how you go about spreading the word, just make sure that any and all links point back to this post.

Comment Rules

Unfortunately, my blog gets quite a bit of spam and useless comments. Many never see the light of day.

I don’t quite have a comment policy in place yet; although, I’ve been implementing it since the beginning, and I’m going to be cracking down even more now that the contest is underway.

In order for your comments to count, you’ll need to follow these 2 simple rules:

1. Use a REAL name. I have KeywordLuv installed so that you can use your “name @ keywords” in the name field when leaving a comment (first name is fine). I ask that you please respect this.

Or…

You can leave your name at the bottom of your comment. Either way is fine, but you must include your real name. If I don’t see your real name, your comment will be deleted without thinking twice. Sorry, but like I said, I get a lot of comment spam.

2. Provide value. Along the lines of comment spam, if your comment provides absolutely no value whatsoever, then poof, your comment will be deleted without warning. This will be heavily enforced, maybe even more so than rule #1.

I can’t stand stupid little “hey, nice post” type comments. Most of you will know what I mean by this. What I’m looking for are comments that add to the discussion in some way, provide your own thoughts on the issue, etc. Actually taking the time to leave a meaningful comment will go along way and only benefit you.

OK, that’s it! You have the details, now start commenting.

Note: if you want to make sure you never miss an update on my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS Feed. Just sayin’.

Thanks!

April turned out to be a pretty good month. I received an increase in proofreading and re-writing work, which I was very happy about. Those are two things I thoroughly enjoy doing, apart from running this website and earning passive income from multiple sources.

April turned out to be my best month yet since I began my online business venture.  If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to never give up. Giving up is very easy to do, but sticking with it when things seem impossible is where the real character lies.

If you read this post, then you know I promised a follow-up post to that. But, I wanted to take a break away from that and update you on my income from February.

So let’s get right to it…

Income from ReplaceYourSalary.com

• AdFish – $4.80 (Newest CPA network added to income streams)

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

Income from Internet Marketing Services…

• Internet Marketing – $160 (article writing, blogging, forum marketing, social bookmarking, etc.)

Total Online Income = $428.62

That wraps up my online income for last month. How well did all of you do?

Awhile ago I posted about David Hurley’s Internet Marketing PLR Article Membership. Well, David has just informed me that he’s offering all new members one month of free access.

However, you have to sign up using this link: http://www.grasp-the-nettle.com/Free-Article-Marketing-Offer.html.

You’ll receive 10 expertly written internet marketing related articles every month, with your first month free of charge. I’m so sure that you’ll like David’s articles that you’ll want to continue receiving his articles month after month. But, if not, no worries.

Also, don’t forget that for a small upgrade fee, you can have those articles re-written by yours truly.

I’ll rewrite your 10 articles and make them unique to use for your own site, blog or to submit to directories.

August came and went so fast. The summer is almost gone, and Fall is right around the corner. I didn’t do too much posting the past month, but if you happened to miss anything, you’ll find the posts below.

Get Top Quality Internet Marketing Articles

My JV Partnership Endeavor with David Hurley

Thank You To All Of My Readers

Google Adsense Alternative – Yarie.com

I promised I would update you all on what my new online endeavor was, so here you go!

In my previous post about David Hurley’s Internet Marketing Article Writing Service, you may have noticed I mentioned that David is an online friend of mine. There is also good reason why I talked about David’s service and am endorsing it.

Not only does David offer a better PLR article service than most other services, but he also offers an additional service as well. David provides an upgraded membership to his article writing service where members can receive rewritten, unique articles each month.

These articles are unique to the articles that regular members receive, thus making them even more valuable. As an upgraded member, you will receive 10 unique PLR articles each and every month for as long as you’re subscribed to the service.

Now, this is where I come in.

As David and I work side-by-side in various online communities, we are familiar with each others talents, services, etc. David runs quite a few websites, as well as handling a lot of offline obligations. Due to this , he needed to find a way to ease his workload.

A couple of months ago David contacted me about possibly doing some work for him. I gave him some prices and discussed the terms of what all would be involved. At the time David decided to continue handling everything himself.

Not long ago I was contacted again, this time getting full confirmation that David wanted to turn over the re-writing part of his article writing service over to me.

This would result in an increase in my workload, but it would also increase my monthly income. Since David already had a few clients that required re-written articles, he needed to be able to get the articles to them in a timely manner. Seeing this as a mutual benefit for both of us, I gladly accepted the offer.

Why did David pick me to head up the service? Well for one, I’m a proofreader and have the credentials and experience to perform the tasks that David was looking for. I’m very honored to be a part of what David is doing for the internet marketing community and look forward to our long-lasting partnership.

When you join his internet marketing articles service, be sure to check out the upgraded membership benefits to get the details. You’ll also be able to read more about me and the re-writing service that I’ll be providing for his PLR articles.

Even if you decide not to upgrade, you’ll still receive 10 articles every month that are limited to a maximum of 100 members. The reason for this is so there’s not a lot of saturation in the market, and this avoids having 100′s, if not more, of the same articles all over the web.

Being a basic member is still very beneficial if you don’t have the time to write your own articles, so I urge you to check out David’s article PLR service and see if it’s right for you.

Writing top quality articles is very time consuming. You may have an idea of what you want to write about, but when it comes to actually writing the articles, it just takes time. You may be asking why you would even have a need to write articles, and the answer is very simple. Articles help you grow your online business.

Articles allow you the advantage of getting your name, business and message in front of thousands of readers and seen as an expert… all for FREE. For internet marketers and online business owners who have multiple tasks to complete every day, writing can be a chore.

Introducing…  David Hurley, expert internet marketer, English professional and article writer. David is the owner of Grasp-The-Nettle.com and provides an article writing PLR service for internet marketers. His articles are internet marketing and online business related.

What sets David’s service apart from other PLR services is this:

• High quality, relevant and useful articles – NOT the usual run-of-the-mill, thrown together stuff
• Free from grammar, spelling and syntax errors commonly found in other PLR article packages
• Limited membership – Articles exclusively available to only 100 members
• Reasonably priced

David’s service provides you with 10 internet marketing related articles each and every month to use for your own use. Why spend countless hours writing your own articles, when you can have David save you the trouble?

I’m a personal friend of David’s and have worked side by side with him for several years through various forums and internet marketing communities. I have been impressed with his professionalism and all the work that he does with his various online businesses. I can assure you that anything David does is top notch!
