Work At Home Blog Income Report-March 2009

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?

Work At Home Blog Statistics:

  • 183 RSS Readers (167)
  • 3637 visits (3188)
  • 7172 Pageviews (6,945)
  • Technorati Rank: 37,658 (37,135)
  • Technorati Auth: 115 (118)
  • Alexa: 73,652 (80763)
  • Inbound links: 13,500 (13,071)

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 Sales/Affiliate: $30.68 (CBproAds)
  • 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:

  • well, good income stream from many source and very various......hope more big next month
  • good starting........ I hope your income grow very fast in the next, thanks for sharing
  • Hi Peter, I wrote a comment congratulating you and everything but apparently there was a problem with Disqus. Anyway, that was a few hours ago and now I've forgotten what I said. Must be something to do with my age.
  • @Sire: Thanks so much, it's the thought that counts. Actually you're still the master when it comes to making money on adsense. Your earnings of adsense was terrific. If only I have adsense to begin with.
  • Hello Peter, I am amazed at how you can manage to earn from your affiliate. For now, my major earnings come from AdSense but I am looking forward to seeing other forms soon. Don't have so much time because I do other work like content writing. I'd just like to thank you for sharing your experience. Congratulations and good luck.
  • Hi Peter,

    Congratulations with your new and improved income. You deserve it, you had put a lot of effort.
  • @ Marketing Business Review : Ah Luis, but I know you'll have an easier time than me, now that you've got so much time to kill....Good Luck
  • Congrats on the earning peter! I have almost similar traffics with you. I did make about $200 for private ads sales in March. I'm waiting to see how much I could make in April. :)
    Between, you maintain the same earning every month? :)

    Regards,
    Lee
  • Way to go, Peter. Man, I just want to log in one of these days and see that someone actually clicked on one of my Clickbank products, let alone bought one. Anyway, now I have to chase you and Ben. lol
  • @ Mitch:That's good...yea chase me....well that makes me work even harder so thanks buddy.
  • Wow Peter thats a nice growth every month for you! Now that you have proven CBProAds do work, I am sure many more others will sign up with you.

    Your traffic is impressive =)
  • @ Ben Pei: Thanks Ben for such kind words. But I think you are just being your usual humble self. I know your traffic is lots more and you make lots more. You just fall in the category of 'not revealing what they earned' group haha :)
  • Congrats Peter, almost $300 income for a month is good, and next month will be more I´m sure :) For those who still say that it is impossible to earn money from blogging or from the internet in general should take a look because here is proof that it is fully possible!
  • Peter, I see you are using CBProAds instead of Google Adsense.Are you getting paid per click or do you get a percentage of the sale of a product?

    -Tom
  • @ Tom Lindstrom: Tom, CBProAds is pay per sale (not pay per click). If someone joins the affiliate program through my affiliate link, I get 50% of his joining fees ranging from $19 - $99 depending on his choice of membership period, min 3 mths. If it's just a sale I get the normal sale commission from Clickbank. Here is the post that you can read more:

  • @ Tom Lindstrom: Thanks for your kind words. Yes it gives me some incentive to do more to earn more next month. But it's just a start really.
  • Congratulations. 299$ is not a small amount. All the best
  • @ Rahul Jadhav: Thanks for dropping by. Well it's not how much, although it's a good amount, but that it is making money that's more important.
  • Hi Peter,
    Congratulations and thanks for sharing this info with us.
    It's good to knpw that CbproAds are working for you.
    You've incorperated them niceley into your Blog design.
    Great work
  • @Luca:You're welcome. Yes CBproAds is becoming a good investment on this blog.
  • Congratulations on your earnings Peter. Not bad at all, especially for just one blog. Keep up the good work!
  • when you work hard and put the dedication many more can come its only the beginning and many are unaware of that
  • @Salwa: Hey Salwa, thanks for coming here. Thanks You for the kind words.
  • Is the reviews income for reviewing other blogs or reviewing products with an affiliate link to them? Click bank seems to have done well also it accounts for a 3rd of the total revenue earned.
  • @Khaled: This month reviews cover solely promotion of their product and affiliate links. Thanks for dropping by.
  • Peter, for what I have seen in others displaying their ernings, yours it is opretty reasonable since its coing from one single blog I suppose? the other guys are ctually posting the amount of some 3 or 8 blogs together not just single one.

    Luis
  • Peter Lee - I really like your honesty, and the idea of displaying your earnings. I would like to mention that if anybody is into selling physical things from their blogs, ebay PartnerNetwork has worked very well for me. I have made nearly $300 in March of my small website http://www.mybeachdecor.com, with an average of only 140 visitors a day. I think that's pretty reasonable, don't you?
    I really do enjoy reading your blog, keep up the good work!
  • @ Petra Weiss: Hi Petra, yes $300 is a good profit and congratulations on your earnings on your blog. Glad you like my blog, hope to see you 'round.
  • Hi Peter,

    Great income for one blog, keep it up bro !
  • @ Roseli A. Bakar: Thanks Roseli. I've not seen you around this community so a warm welcome to you for dropping by. I just visited your blog and must say it's a very nice one with interesting posts. Will read up more soon. Keep in touch.
  • Hey Peter, great job, Hope you will make more money in April ^_^
  • Peter,

    The more I read your blog the more impressed I am. I have been so iffy about starting a blog and since I am new to how to do it correctly I have been tricking myself into thinking that maybe I don't need to. After visiting your blog and few other that I have read today I feel the confidence in me building so before the feeling disappears I am going to try it out with blogger first and when I get a domain name I will switch to the Wordpress platform you and several others are using online. Thanks.
