March Earnings
So march came and went in a blink of an eye, was it a good month for you? Last month was not too bad for me considering I only sent out one email to my list – I was hoping for one a week or at least three, but sometimes it doesn’t turn out that way.
Still, as one online colleague put it, at least you’ve got an online income, so even though this month wasn’t quite as good as February, it’s still not too bad considering the number of hours I commit to it.
Traffic: 1,577 Unique Visitors
Active Subscribers: 924
PayPal Earnings: $876.77 (after PayPal fees)
AdSense: $13.60 – the Pound is still very weak, but doubled up from last month
Clickbank: $0 – got to make sure I get a sale next month.
Amazon: $0 – OK, bummer. Still nothing. What to do?!
All in all, I didn’t quite get to last months income, but this was mostly due to the delay in writing new articles and emailing my customers. If I had sent another email I’m sure I could have added another $150+ to the bottom line.
I also placed some AdSense banners on various sites that I own in an attempt to increase the AdSense income. This has started working and I hope that April brings even more money!
Clickbank, no sales this month, but I’m not going to get worried unless there are no sales next month. The CDR (client distribution requirement) is a real pain, they need 5 different credit card numbers from MasterCard and Visa, but I find that many people pay with PayPal which doesn’t count towards this distribution requirement. Even though I’ve made about 7 sales, I still need another 3 sales before they’ll even think about paying me!
Amazon. Oh Amazon. What do you have to do to earn a commission with these guys?! My niche stores have had hundreds of visitors, I’ve sent loads of referrals to the Amazon website and still nothing. Zip. I’m starting to think I might sack this as a potential income stream. I put less effort in to Clickbank yet make more money from it (if they ever pay me).
So, targets for April:
– Email customers at least 3 times with new article sets
– Increase AdSense income to $25
– Get another clickbank sale
– Continue building niche stores and get one Amazon sale
