Every month I do a detailed income report, showing you exactly where my income comes from. This gives you an idea of the various income streams that are available, as I strongly believe you shouldn’t place all of your eggs in one basket, as discussed in this post.

This is also a way for me to measure my success (or failure) from month-to-month. Each month will vary in income, and that’s all part of working from home as an affiliate marketer. This acts as a motivator for me to keep pushing forward to reach my goals.

I hope you find these income reports helpful and give you encouragement that it is possible to make money on the internet.

Let’s see how I did last month…

Income from ReplaceYourSalary.com

• ClickBank: $77.22
• PayDotCom – $28.17
• Paul’s Backlinks: $12
• Google Adsense: $33.01
• SFI: $9.22
• Project Payday: $18 (commissions earned from promoting the program, not actually using it)
• AdFish – $25.40
• ResponsiveData – $12
• Ads – $350
• AshMax – $10 (Total monthly commissions from GDI and FTS)
• E-Junkie – $14.80
• Affiliate Power Group – $21.81
• HostGator – $50

Total = $661.63

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

Total = $412.43

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 $9.81. 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 from all sources comes to…

$1,074.06

Income from GetBackYourExAdvice.com

No income as of yet. I’ve been slowly building backlinks and adding more content to the site. Expect an update very soon regarding the site and what exactly I’m doing to market it.

December was by-far my best month to date. One of my goals last year was to reach $1,000 in income for a single month, and I finally did it. Now, the next goal is to do it consistently. I will be doing much less proofreading in the months ahead, so the bulk of that income will be gone. That means I’ll need to boost more income out of this site and try to get the ball rolling with my new niche site.

That’s my current plan.

As always, I welcome your comments below…

Things have been going pretty well. It’s been a busy week for me, and I’m looking forward to the weekend. I made my first ever hotel reservations online a few days ago (applause?) for my cousin’s wedding coming up next weekend. I’m pretty excited for the trip and to get away for a little.

That’s about all that’s going on with me as of late. Got anything exciting going on with you? Let me know by leaving a comment.

Not too shabby.

Micro Niche Site Update

I also wanted to update you on the progress of my micro niche site. You may recall I started a new site just over a month ago, and I was working on getting it to the top of Google. During my previous income report, it was sitting at the #4 position.

Well… days later it reached #1, and it’s been there ever since. It wasn’t real hard actually, as all I really did was get 5 links from articles submitted to EzineArticles, social bookmarked the site and built about 30 high PR backlinks to it.

Ever since the site landed in the top spot, it’s been receiving Adsense clicks almost daily. For the most part, the clicks have earned very minimal amounts. However, today and yesterday have earned over $1 for a single click. I’m pretty excited about this and the outlook I have for the site. I plan to develop it further as time allows to bring in even more revenue from it. So far, it has brought in just under $5, so with the way things are looking, it should pay for itself just after two months.

I still plan on entering another niche once my micro niche site starts brings in more revenue as I find time to develop it. This niche site will focus on a single Clickbank product and create a funnel for visitors to get them to the order page.

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

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

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.

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…

June proved to be a very busy month, albeit bringing in the highest recorded monthly income yet.

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.

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

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.

Let’s get right into it…

Income from ReplaceYourSalary.com

• ClickBank: $107.77
• PayDotCom – $56.34
• HostGator – $50
• Angela’s Backlinks: $11.25

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.

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.

With the economy still way below normal and jobless rates not seeing a high increase, people are still looking for new job opportunities, both offline and online.

When I lost my job in 2008, I decided to start building an online presence and get a proofreading portfolio together. I wanted to provide a valuable service to others and build up a clientele. At the same time I hammered down on my online business and tried to learn as much as I could about internet marketing. I knew there was money to be made online, and there still is.

That’s why I truly believe that affiliate marketing is the new job on the market. Trillions of dollars are being spent online, and as an affiliate, you can claim your share.

Affiliate marketing is by far the easiest and most lucrative business model, so it’s no wonder why you see so many new affiliates these days. I imagine that there are many people looking for something different, just like I was when I lost my job.

I wanted this post to be a little different, so instead of me rambling on about stuff you may or may not already know, I thought I’d make it extremely easy for you to find all of my posts related to affiliate marketing.

So, simply click the link below:

Hopefully you’ll find some informative information as well as some inspiration if you’re thinking about getting into affiliate marketing.

Another month gone by. I didn’t do as well as September, but still not a bad run. Let’s take a look at where things stand as far as how much income my site brought in.

• Google Adsense – $17.97
• Yarie.com – $30.40
• SFI – $6.17
• Clickbank – $139.36
• Responsive Data – $9
• Free Traffic System – $10.00
• Angela’s Backlink Building Service – $3.75

Total income for October is: $216.65

Where income lacked in some places, it made up for in others. Clickbank did very well thanks to the new addition of Adam Berry’s Flip Switch Profits course, which I highly recommend.

This income doesn’t include my proofreading, re-writing and blogging services.

This is my first ever income report, which I plan to continue for the months ahead.

I just want to show you guys what all I’m doing to make money and where my money is coming from.

I believe in having multiple streams of income, so I have quite a few sources that my money comes from each month.

These income reports will only consist of money I earn through my ReplaceYourSalary website, which includes this blog.

September Income Report: 2009

• PayDotCom – $28.17
• Host4Profit – $10.00
• HostGator – $50.00 – Thanks to JP at blogmatters.net.
• Google Adsense – $16.81
• Yarie.com – $31.62
• SFI – $28.81
• Clickbank – $6.15
• Responsive Data – $60.75 – Earned over a period of months
• Free Traffic System – $10.00

Total income is $242.31.

So there you have it. That’s how much I earned for last month. Let’s see how I do this month. So far, things are looking pretty good.

This income report doesn’t include earnings made from my re-writing, proofreading and occasional article writing freelance work.
