May Earnings
May was a pretty poor month, I wasn’t really motivated enough at the weekends and after work to do much on my online business. As a result I didn’t do any mailshots, nor did I release any new PLR article packs which had an affect. Another affect was Google’s ‘May Day’ update which seriously cut the amount of traffic to my sites for long tail keywords, so I was getting less targeted traffic.
However, the biggest news of the month is that after 8 months of trying FINALLY I have made some affiliate sales in Amazon. I’ll discuss more on that in a minute but for now here are the results of May:
Traffic: 1,395 Unique Visitors
Active Subscribers: 998
PayPal Earnings: $696.94 (after PayPal fees)
AdSense: $6.85 – Traffic down due to the Google May Day update
Clickbank: $0.00 – Here we go, wasteland of no sales!
Amazon: $4.96 – After 8 months! Works out to about 60 cents a month, lol!
I can’t have any complaints about lower earnings in May, I didn’t put much work in because I was busy with other things and didn’t have the motivation (this is very bad!) to write articles. However, despite lower traffic from Google, I still managed to pull in $700, which is not a bad return considering I barely put more than a few hours of work in May!
I’m also thrilled that I have finally made some sales in Amazon, it’s very bizarre though because for 8 months I sent loads of traffic and then suddenly in the space of just 4 days I got 9 sales – there was no increase in traffic to my sites, nor was there an increase in clickthroughs, it’s all a bit of a mystery why I suddenly made some sales here.
Still no new sales in Clickbank, but I don’t have time to work on that at the moment, just have to cross my fingers and hope!
