January wrap up



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!

    This is excellent first month profits! Generating small but steady income is a great way to start – it’s a glimpse of what is to come. Actually your first month Adsense is probably ten times what I made my first month when I started last year – so kudos to you and stay encouraged!

    Thanks for the encouragement! When reading forums half the people make it sound like it’s easy and you’ll be rich in a few weeks, and the other half of people make it sound like you can’t make $1 in a year. It was nice to make enough to cover hosting costs. I never realized how much time I’d put into websites. It looks like I’ll have a better month this month, but we’ll wait for the February wrap-up to find out. :)

    Actually, after looking at it, I’m already doing better in Adsense, and my Amazon has stayed the same. And TargetFollowers is doing me OK this month. However, it cost money this month to make it. Hopefully, it pays for itself here soon. I’m actually kind of excited for the recap now!
