Blog Income Report for April 2009 is out. I recently read a post from John Chow’s blog and he made a statement that there are about 120 million blogs but 95% of these blogs earn less than $100 a month.

So with this in mind what do you want to do if you belong to this category of bloggers. You could take heart that you fall within the 95% cateogry of bloggers and console yourselves that it’s really difficult to make money blogging. Or you could take up the challenge of making much more money than you currently do on your blog. For me I like the latter better..so keep up the spirit.

My clickbank’s CBprpAds, alternative to Google Adsense for this blog continues to give me some more affiliates. I had  7 new signups in Apr including one paid account. I am still trying hard to get my Google Adsense account reinstated but as of now and expected, no reply from Google.

This month saw for the first time, some earnings received from Scratchback as the payout limit is $25.00 after getting the 7th purchase. To me at $5.00 a text link is still the cheapest ad you can ever have on this blog, or any blog for that matter. Considering that the first scratchback link ad has remained here for the last 3 months. Anyone wants to purchase one here?

This month too saw another first for me. I started doing some freelance work on blogging and the $63 represents income earned on providing such services for one week part-time. I’m providing my service to an affiliate guru and paid  by the hour and I get to learn from this guru at work too. It helps to incentivetize whatever new ideas I have which may need me to invest a little money to see it through. One of them is a new blog which I’ve just created only a few days ago. It’s a niche blog focusing on reviews on affiliate programs and other affiliate marketing topics.  Check out my new blog and let me know what you think. But be kind, this baby is just a few days’ old.

How much money did you make off your blog in April?

My second Blog Income Report is out. I was just reading a post on why some bloggers reveal their blog income while others just don’t. A little bragging some say, while others feel is to motivate others. But for me it’s simply sharing with others what I do – right or wrong so others may learn it too. I really don’t think one should start sharing only when he is making big money . Did you know that in John Chow’s first Blog Income Report that he shared with his readers, he made just $300.00?

Traffic from search engines amounts to 41% (43) while referring sites and blogs contributed 36% (34%) and 23% (23%) come from direct traffic. I guess I’m quite pleased with the search engine traffic and it shows that my seo work on this blog is starting to take effect.

Blog Income:

• Private Advertising: $50 ($12)
• Third Party Ads: $72.92 ($28.72)
• Reviews: $44.00

• Clickbank paycheck (past mths/take earnings):$101.60

Total Revenue: $299.20 ($208.74)

Blog Advertising particularly private ads continue to generate my blog income and it’s my favorite means to make money blogging on blog, because it’s relatively simpler than others.  Again I can’t help mentioning OIO Publishing for making things a lot easier for me to do so. I’d like to thank everyone who may have purchased advertising or contributed to my blog income one way or another. In fact, one person who did, recently joined this community and is now commenting on this blog. What an excellent way to get to know one another

Last month I mentioned my immediate focus was to increase my affiliate commission and I found an alternative to Google Adsense for this blog towards the end of February. Well it turns out to be a very good affiliate program after all. Just after one month I now have 6 affiliate members (1 paid) and it contributed $30.68  to my March blog income. It does live up to its Google Adsense Alternative name.

This month, I decided to take in the earnings from Clickbank after having left it there and almost forgotten about it because it was such a forgettable amount. But after having some sales from CBproAds, I decided to take earnings. I’ll just savor the moment in March, sort of giving me some motivation to do better in April. Here is a screenshot:
