February Earnings

Posted by admin in Performance on Mar 2nd, 2010 | no responses

So how did February go for you? I didn’t get any Valentine’s cards but sold plenty of Valentine’s PLR articles which helped boost my income! Here’s what we’ve got:

Traffic: 1,441 Unique Visitors

Active Subscribers: 813

PayPal Earnings: $1126.35 (after PayPal fees)

AdSense: $6.91 – Down about a dollar, but the Pound is very weak!

Clickbank: $44.37 – Thank goodness! Came from a link on plrarticleshop.com

Amazon: $0 – Lots more traffic, I think March might be the one to crack the first Amazon dollar

(Bear in mind that there was only 28 days in February!)

I definitely think we can see the affect of the SEO work I’ve been putting in, that coupled with creating unique PLR articles and sending them out to my list every Sunday has really pushed up my earnings – to around $40 per day. This cash is virtually autopilot, except for the SEO work I do, but most days I don’t really touch it. Oh and a few dollars came from advertising space that I sold on some sites.

I’ve looked at my known expenses for the next 12 months and it looks like I will be spending $100 – $150 per month renewing domains and hosting accounts, something which I need to budget for when withdrawing money.

I know I keep harping on about the Amazon commissions and I know I still haven’t cracked this little cookie yet, but I’m not about to give up just yet, I’ve started on my 30 week Amazon challenge and I intend to see it through to the end. I’ve now got four niche Amazon websites, each is getting a bit of traffic and I saw 84 ‘clicks’ according to Amazon. I think by the end of March, when I’ll have eight Amazon websites, we should see a sale, but I’m not going to give up until I’ve done all thirty. If still no sales I’ll put them up for sale on Flippa.com and call this a learning experience.

Looking Ahead

For March I will be concentrating on trying to build Amazon niche sites and looking to get at least one more sale in Clickbank.
