Monthly Earnings Report - June

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

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$

  • Google AdSense Earnings : 32,74$
  • Amazon Associates Earnings: 0,00$
  • Monthly Earnings Report - March

    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$

  • Google Adsense Earnings : 48,97$
  • Amazon Affiliate Earnings: 9,56$
  • Monthly Earnings Report - February

    Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

    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$

  • Google Adsense Earnings : 16,07$
  • Amazon Affiliate Earnings: 3,98$
  • Monthly Earnings Report - December

    Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

    December has been an awful month in terms of earning money. At the first half of December I couldn’t actually deal with my blog or write on Hubpages because of my day job. Anyways I couldn’t create much content but I surely learn a lot of stuff in terms keyword targeting and SEO. I focused much more to my Hubs this month which creates me organic traffic without much effort and will propably convert better in future. I’ve written Hubs on higher paying keywords so there is an increase in my eCPM. December has been a bad month for CTR and I am taking this on Christmas spirit :) Last month I earned a few bucks from Amazon even though I didn’t intend to. This month I intend some Amazon earnings but couldn’t make any sales so I guess this is my bad luck this month. Please note that most of my adsense income is generated from Hubpages, and I expect a linear increase in my Hubpages earnings as the number of my Hubs go up.

    Earnings for December: 8,74$

  • Google Adsense Earnings : 8,74$
  • Amazon Affiliate Earnings: 0,00$
