Monthly Earnings Report - November
December 3rd, 2007 | Published in Affiliates, Making Money | 5 Comments
This is the first month my blog is published and I have started monetizing my blog. In the first month of the blog I wasn’t expecting any income actually because of the low content and no regular visitors at all. I have started this blog with 100$ spending (for my hosting and domain name) and the worst case scenario for me is losing that money. Looking at my earnings I won’t lose that money even if my earnings stays same. (which isn’t likely because as the content increases and I gain regular visitors the traffic is more likely to increase in an exponential graph)
Earnings for November: 15,76$
- Google Adsense Earnings : 13,12$
- Amazon Affiliate Earnings: 2,64$
As you can see I don’t use Amazon Ads in my blog because it’s not an item/product related blog. I am publishing my Amazon ads at my Hubs. I have sold 4 items and this is a good amount as a beginner at Hubpages. I have earned from Adsense from my blog and my hubpages account. I have accomplished my first amount with a decent amount for the first month of a blog and I am expecting the 100$ limit in a few months.
My blog has been visited 1,813 times with 3,034 page visits. The best traffic source is StumbleUpon for now. Referring Sites has %86 percentage in my traffic while search engines are %4,5. (Which is normal for a new blog) For a new blog social networking sources seems the best way to start driving traffic.
Regarding all the effort I am spending on my my Hubs created 1,620 visits in November with %60 of the traffic is from search engines. So you can use Hubpages if you want to benefit from free organic traffic without any effort.
Thanks to all supporters and followers.

That’s not a bad start. I haven’t done as well with Adsense or even Amazon as you, although I do make a little from them now and again. I know some people have issues with them but I’ve found sponsored posting to be a great way to monetize blogs. I made $72 from them last week. My best week was $150.
PS. I love the template you’re using! It’s really crisp and clear. I’ll have to try and do something with my own design.

Keep up the good work. Maybe you’ll morph into John Chow in the near future. It’s nice to see the little guys documenting their stuff so later when they become big, we can go back and look at your humble beginnings.

That is some cool money from adsense for a 1st month blog. I realize you are using hubpages too, but still, well done and keep it up.
