Blogging Way of Life

In June I have learned some SEO techniques and tried to apply them for a couple of new articles but I didn’t have the time to examine the results yet. The AdSense income is nearly same with the same month. At least I will get to the AdSense payment treshold next month. I received my firt AdSense payment in 6 months time and if I get to 100$ barrier next month I can consider new goals like getting payment every month.

I couldn’t write so many articles at Hubpages because I’ve put most of my time to my new Amazon affiliate shop this month. I’ve finished the most of the technical background of the Amazon shop and there are some design issues left. Considering I got no Amazon earnings for this month it will be a good step to set up an Amazon shop and build a consistent Amazon affiliate income.

So here are the numbers:

Earnings for June: 32,74$

This month has been a inspirational month cause I’ve received my first AdSense payment. You get the feeling of earning money online when you start spending it. I’ve received my first AdSense payment after six months so now I have to set up my goals to receive AdSense payment each month.

My main source of income is Hubpages again. I’ve created a few more Hubs this month and I’m experimenting with different niches. I’ve created AdSense channel for each of my Hubs and I’ll develop more Hubs in high paying niches. I’ve got some Amazon sales also but my Amazon earnings are just depending on pure luck. I have to find some time from my day job for creating some time for my Amazon Associates Store. Here are the numbers for May:

Earnings for May: 42,83$

Amazon Affiliate Program announced a new service which can be considered as a revolution in their services. Now Amazon is offering MP3 sales and let their affiliate partners to sell MP3 products through widgets. The new service will be a good income for music blogs for sure. Amazon offers you a variety of options with their MP3 widget. You can select bestsellers from different genres or you can just create your own album. This new step in Amazon services will heat the blogosphere for sure. The coming days will show us the user experience and how well the system works. For now I will only put a small widget of my beloved Classic Rock Mp3’s as a demo and I will wait to see if some of my readers share my music taste.

Once more beginning of a new month and time for monthly earnings report. After a boost up at earnings in March, I was a little a fraid to see the earnings go down and lose my excitement. Actually my earnings are nearly the same when compared to March. Last month I had very good eCPM results from Adsense. Smartpricing is a serious issue in Adsense and I got smartpriced as expected. I have to admit that my Hubpages traffic is less when compared to last month but the Adsense earnings are nearly the half. Surely I have to increase the number of my Hubs and increase traffic. What came to my surprise is it’s been a great month for Amazon Associates program. I’ve sold 10 products this month and I can see some of my Amazon capsules at Hubpages is working good.

The important thing is I finally made the 100$ milestone at Google Adsense and I will hopefully receive my first paycheck from online business. This month I’ve also seen the importance of Amazon Associates and I am working on an Amazon Store Project right now. (I will give the information about the on going project but my main purpose is to build an Amazon Store with it’s own shopping cart.)

Here are the numbers :

Earnings for April: 49,72$

This month I’m writing my monthly report with a smile on my face (at last). Thanks to major design & ad placement changes at Hubpages the CTR’s for adsense has gone up dramatically and I’ve managed to earn some reasonable amount from Adsense. I’ve just missed the 100$ in total with a buck and I have to wait next month for the money.

While earning money from Adsense, I was desperate about my Amazon affiliate earnings. I couldn’t make any sales until the end of month an just as I was losing hope I managed to sell a Sony CyberShot Camera (Although I don’t have any related Hubs about cameras). I am now thinking of whether receiving a Amazon Gift certificate or waiting to hit the cheque limit. I still don’t get how to focus for products at Amazon because every item I sell is unrelated to my Hubs. I am planning to publish a Amazon Store this month so I hope that things will get better with Amazon.

So end of story here are the numbers :

Earnings for March: 58,53$

February has been a good month (I still don’t earn any reasonable money but I am getting a good curve so there’s no reason to be pessimistic). At last I’ve passed the 15$ mark with Adsense earnings and I’ve passed 50$ on Grand Total. Google team have sent me my PIN code after 40$ so I’m ready to receive my payment when I hit 100$. I’ve also managed to sell some Amazon stuff from my Hubs. To my surprise I haven’t sold any of the items that I’ve been listing. I guess people are clicking my Amazon links and buying other items while surfing in related items in Amazon. In total I’ve passed 20$ this month.

The rise in my earnings are actually related to huge traffic I’ve received from StumbleUpon this month. I will write a detailed post about how I got a big traffic from StumbleUpon after analyzing the effects and stability of the traffic. As a result of the huge StumbleUpon traffic to one of my Hubs I received most of my earnings from Hubpages (without any effort).

Earnings for February: 20,05$

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.
