Reflections on April's Earnings:
Bumpity Bump!
Well, the good news: My AdSense earnings are increasing nicely, mostly the result of one of my high CPC sites taking the #1 place for the keyword I'm targeting (the site is six months old, so it's probably about time!). $10 days are now becoming common place, and I even had a couple of days where I earned over $20. Of course, there are occasional $3 dollars days as well. For the month I was averaging nearly $8 a day with Adsense.
Clickbank? Not so good news. I really don't know what is going on with CB, since my hop numbers actually went up, but sales revenue was about half of where I expected it to be. I guess that is the life of affiliate marketing - it's all a numbers game. I hope I can make up for those missing sales next month!
Goals for May:
Well, I certainly want to get my Clickbank earnings back up to par. I'm also hoping to reach a $10/day average for AdSense. Mostly, I'll be doing more backlinking and testing of different layouts and tracking my keyword performance as well. Ideally, I'd like to still hit the $750 mark.
May also marks my one year anniversary as an internet marketer - May 6th, to be exact, since it was the first day I received an AdSense click. To celebrate my upcoming business b-day, I've decided to launch a brand new blog where I will no longer be at the mercy of Google and possibly have my blog disappear one day due to some TOS violation or who-knows-what. With my new blog, I will be giving frequent (possibly even daily!) updates about systems I am using, my adventures in outsourcing, reflections on earnings and other topics IM'ers are talking about. I'm very excited about this, so please visit me on my new blog at:
http://passiveincomeonlineblog.com/I will be discontinuing updating this blog, unfortunately, but hopefully all of those who read it can make their way over to my new one!
