January 2007 Earnings Report
OK, it’s the wee hours of the morning out here in Hawaii but I have to get this posted. Several people have inquired about my earnings after I reported a 400% increase in visitors around the blog network so I can’t dissapoint “the people.” (Thanks by the way for all your support!)
As I said it’s 1 am here and I finished up a 14 hour work day at my real job as an engineer at a biotech company so forgive me if the verbage here gets a little jumbled. But without further ado. Here’s the earnings…
Adsense - $173.53
TLA - $12.55
Namedrive - $63.48
Other Link Sales - $53.31
Total $302.87
Yipee! I increased money coming in from December’s total earnings $165.07. As you can see from last months, AdSense went way up by over $100! Sweet!
I was also able to sell one more link through TLA (thanks to my own promoting) and I’ve been finding other means to sell links through some of the webmaster forums out there. The $53.31 is for permanent links, which I could amortize over the life of the blogs, but I’m lazy and don’t want to put estimates on, or change values every month. That’s for when I hire an accountant.
The other links that I sell as month to month links, even if I sell 3 months up front, will be amortized over the life of the link and counted as such.
Now let’s take a look around the blogosphere at some earnings.
Internet Cashflow Guy $524.02
Video Post at 45n5.com tells of $1095.00
And really that’s all I could find before passing out on my keyboard. If I forgot someone, please add your earnings in the comments and feel free to add a link to your site. I may have to approve the comment but I get to that early in the morning.

Yeah nice one Erik! Does this include advertising revenues gained from this site as well? Also I see you’ve sold 3 more links in the sidebar for TLA - well done!

Thanks Guys. I am psyched to start getting AdSense checks every month now. It’ll be good to count that income towards the following months budgets and actually have it in hand that month.
As for the ads, yes it does include the money that I make from this website. While it’s not much in terms of adsense, I am making more off my link sales. Which, only two of those ads are through TLA one of which I had to solicit the buyer. As I’ve said before I’m not having much luck with TLA.
As for counting this website, until I incorporate my blog network I’m going to count this site, but once I incorporate this site will be counted seperately. For the most part I only make about $20 a month from this site. A little more next month. But not enough to sway the earnings that much.
My network has begun to pull the bulk of my internet income which is very pleasat.

[...] How did I hear about this site? From Erik Vossman. Who has a whole series of sites likely created for profiteering on keyword ads (he’s working pretty damn hard for only $300 a month). He has some intentions of hiring bloggers, we volunteered to blog on his Silver investors blog called BlogSilver.com, he’s not replied. I don’t care, he’s not had updates since the new year, and I’m already making my bucks. I’ll start my own sooner or later, along with an investment firm business. [...]

Congratulations on your earnings growth. It’s interesting to look at figures from people such as yourself who are willing to openly share their blogging revenues. In fact, it’d be nice if services such as AdSense would allow users to opt-in to make their revenues directly visible from the service provider directly.

Well looking around the blogosphere, John Chow claims to have made over $7000 in February. Though he’s evil, and is far from anything close to a representative number. Yours are much more realistic.

Congrats! That’s awesome to see your earnings growing. Getting an adsense check every single month is great also.
