September 2008 Income From My Whole Life

Posted on October 05, 2008 by Melvin

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for quick updates on this blog.

Sorry for the crappy title. The month of September is a busy month for me! I have to go full time in school and Pay Per Click campaigns! Anyway September is a nice month and I just thought I will do a roundup like what most people pretty much do. This is the first time I will do this one

Rankings and Blah Blah…

Alexa down to 136,000
PR dropped to 0 for no reasons at all
Technorati in 50,000 now!
12,000 Pageviews from last month
Top 130 in 45n5
Improved Google SERPS
What else

I have improved slightly overall even though I haven’t done much promotions. I have also not been posting anything related to making money and most post from this month don’t have the quality that most blogs offer. Still my readers are still visiting and have seen increase return visitors traffic. The number of comments per post is still great and I just think the best way to say is thank you for my readers!

So for the income of the blog this month

$25 from Paid Post
$55 for direct sponsorship

Believe it or not this is the highest paid advertisement I got in this blog. From June to August, it was just like $10 – $20 and last month was probably the best month. I also got a long term bookings and some really took advantage of my cheap rates (my advertise page is still not updated)!

Income from Affiliate Networks

$165 from Copeac
$62.5 from Pepperjam Network
$20 from Clickbooth
$1.5 from CJ

The Copeac thing is doing great. You may remember me for posting the Pay Per Click Campaigns that I did with Copeac. $165 is damn impressive for me because I just kick started things off last September 20 until the last day. The $62 from PJN was actually $62 way before the 15th month, before I took all my camps down from them. Still a decent amount for me! Btw, PJN still pays new signups $10 for signing under my ass! $20 from Clickbooth is I don’t where it actually came from and the my smallest earnings that came from Comm. Junc. is great considering I even have forgotten my password with my account with them.

Basketball Betting

Ateneo vs LaSalle Championship – $1

So Actually I and a great friend Raymille had this little bet on our teams, me w/Ateneo and him w/his LaSalle crap! Eventually LaSalle sucked that bad and was swept in the entire series.

Expenses

Adwords – $120
Food and Transpo for school – 500 PHP ($12)
Bills ($20)

So I really hate talking about expenses because it makes me feel I have earned nothing but lets face it everyone spends on something. The adwords cost for the entire month is just actually when I started running Copeac’s campaigns. I set up a very poor low budget campaigns. For the food and transportation, I have always been over what’s my money for school. My parents give me about $6-8 per day for my expenses and its like I was always $10 per day not because I have poor budgeting but because everything has skyrockted in terms of price.

So, that’s everything for the previous one. What should you expect from me this October? Literally none! I will be trying to post some of my PPC tactics and some blogging tips that I have learned along the way as well as my ramblings and blah blah. I would also like to beg Market Leverage to accept me to their network because I think I was like rejected for about 20 million times and all I wanted is to get accepted to their program and hopefully dominate Tyler’s New Signups Affiliate Challenge!

Good man! So you are soon getting into the league of leading MMO bloggers…!

I plan to put an ‘Advertise Here’ page after Technorati improves dramatically… Rest of the factors are looking good for me.

Cheers,
Ajith

No not even close! You can look at the adwords expense and then its not a big money at all.. But its big for me..

Try bidvertiser for buying traffic – that is a lot cheaper I guess. However, adwords has multiple channels and networks and you get wider visibility.

what im trying to achieve here is the volume. The more clicks the better. I have heard bidvertser doesn’t pull out much traffic so maybe I would pass for them now

Not bad, Melvin. It’s almost $300 a month. One overlooked monetization method is affiliate products. Think about what products will fit your blog and go for it. Good luck!

Also, turn keywords into affiliate links, here is a post to get started…

My rankings have dramatically increased after the pagerank update (i’m finally getting a dribble of SE traffic )

At least you’re making more than me

There are some kick ass things on Copeac, just signed up myself last week, the payouts are great, makes it well worth the efforts.

and its easy to ask for payout increase. I mean I was just like generating 5-7 conversions per day and when I requested it they just increased it w/o asking questions and such stuffs

Wow…so you are an Ateneo fan too..yeah, Ateneo pwns La Salle you know..

I don’t like how La Salle plays because they don’t play fairly.

I’m not that UAAP avid watcher, but I am aware of that rivalry.

Reading income reports like this really inspires me. Not the big long ones like John Chow.
