January wrap up

February 8th, 2010

Well, January proved to be a little bit better than I expected (being my very first month) but not nearly as much as I’d like to be making monthly. That said, I’m not complaining, as I have a great mentor, an understanding wife, and I’m working hard this month at pushing some new sites and products.

Site Hits
We know the percentages really don’t mean a thing, as this was the first full month with the new sites and tracking, but otherwise, the numbers show promise for the visitors for the website.  Here is the Piwik screenshot for the month of January.

Amazon
I’ve had seemingly good numbers with Amazon affiliate sales.  I’m happy about this month, and I’m excited to see future growth.
Earnings:
$22.78

Google Adsense
Well, I’m not sure how some sites seem to use this as their primary means of income, as I’m not overly impressed.  However, it did generate a bit of revenue, so better than nothing.
Earnings:
$8.62

Sponsored Tweets
I charge $1 per Tweet on Sponsored Tweets, and I had four offers, accepted four offers, and spammed my friends with four ads.
Earnings:
$4.00

Other
Clickbank, Hostgator, WP Robot, WP Video Tube, and anything else that I might have signed up for and tried to promote this month didn’t succeed.
Earnings:
$0.00

Total
Total January 2010 Earnings: $35.40

Of course this wasn’t profit, as I’ve purchased domains, software, and hosting.  I’m rather negative for January, but this certainly helps to recoup my losses.  Here’s to doubling that in February!

New site: TargetFollowers

January 29th, 2010

So, a little while back when I first started trying to market using Twitter, I joined some train sites. They were very spammy, and I ended up changing my passwords. However, I thought they were still a good idea, albeit not targeted whatsoever. That’s when I had the idea to started a targeted train, where there were communities that one could join in certain areas.

First, I bought myself Twoo Twoo, a popular and inexpensive train script by BNCApps. I toyed with it in a development environment until I could find the perfect name. That’s when I got myself TargetFollowers.com. I’ve since spent all night setting up the script, databases, and the new Twitter account.

The site is now live, however I will wait until tomorrow to start pushing it (to make sure DNS propogates).

However, anyone that joins the site (under ANY or ALL communities) by January 31 and then comments here and tells me their Twitter name and the communities they joined, they’ll get one FREE month VIP membership to the site!

Communities: Lounge (for everyone), Foodies, Marketing, Music, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Atheist, Republican, Democrat, Atheist, and Technology. Once the site picks up, I will certainly add more.
