Fourth Month Report!

The fourth month is already ower now and it seems the time is running. Many things happend in January and I can proudly say, I´ve never earned more since I started TMME. So let me tell you more about the dirty little details :)


Technical Statistics

After being a bit lazy with writing in December, I wrote 20 new articles the last month. Sure, many well-known bloggers write that amount within a week, but I´m no Problogger yet ;) I´ve also seen a return of this “investment”, I got a steady stream of search engine traffic to my blog. Content is king, this is the first rule any SEO expert will tell you, and it seems to be true.

My statcounter statistics showed me 967 unique visitors with 1282 pageviews, that´s an average of 31 unique visitors each day. I noticed a good portion of traffic from the Philippines with around 7%, I´m so international, hehe :)

I´m still having a Google PageRank of zero, seems they have forgotten me after the last PageRank upgrade at the beginning of this year. My Alexa rankings dropped to 597,415 points.


Earnings Statistics

Now for the best part of this report, my earnings. In December I made around $22, in November I made even less, only $13. But in January I made $40, so far the highest amount I´ve earned within the last four month. I´m really happy. Let me tell you where those earnings came from.

The biggest money maker I´ve added to my money list was PayPerPost which made me $20 alone for writing my first sponsored post. So far I haven´t written a second sponsored post, because I´m looking for the right ones that fits within my money making niche.

Another good income source really worth to mention was Bux.to. After buying my first 15 referrals (see here, here and here) from them, I broke even with my investments only around 2 weeks after my purchase. Now I´m in the profits with around $1.00 to $1.50 per day. The net profit from Bux.to was $9.16 and it keeps running. I also felt is was time for a second investment, some days ago I upgraded my membership to a premium account, not only for faster payments, but also for showing proof if Bux.to is legit or not.

There were also some changes on Subvert and Profit, the third best money maker. They recently changed their payouts from $0.50 to $1.00 per story you digg or “thumbs up” via StumbleUpon. I made $4.90 in January, $4.00 from my activity and the rest from my 10 referrals. Thank you my friends!

There were also some new additions the last month. The first thing was joining NetAudioAds, the company that wants to revolutionize the advertising market with audio ads. I´ve written about them earlier and they are about going live at these moments. So far I have´t made any money because those audio ads are still not playing. According to their last blog post, they´ll do a soft start and start playing audio ads in different phases. It could take some weeks before they really going full steam.

The second addition was Ucash.in, an newly started online service from the founders of Flixya that turns your links into cash. See my article about Ucash.in for more details and why you should join them now! I´ve already made $0.11 within the last days of January.

Conclusion and Outlook

The last month was a really good one. You can see, that my earnings increased and many new money making opportunities showed up. I´m really excited in seeing those audio ads start playing within the next week, seems like a good money maker.

At the moment I´m also trying to learn more about niche marketing. I´ve joined Commission Junction, a big affiliate program with many advertisers waiting for the hungry marketer. Currently I´m trying to become a member of the US-based eBay affiliate program. I´ve written some mails already, but they don´t accepted me as a meber yet. I´ve also read some great articles and ebooks about people seriously making $100 within one day! With hard work everything is possible ;)

Two month are left for my experiment and it seems I will reach my goal. I only have to earn 8$ to get a total of $100. Seems it´s time for buying a domain name, hehe…

Thanks to all my readers, friends and everybody who helped me in reaching these goals. Expect to see more articles and big updates about different money makers this month!

With the very best regards,
Querblogger

    Thanks Rome!

    I´ve just seen you´re about moving to wordpress. I think it´s a good idea, because you have more influence on your html (SEO), a lot of nice plugins…

    Good luck to you!

    Bye,

    Some nice stats you have here, Querblogger:) The earnings improved than the ones you had in December and I think you’re going to increase them even more, in the following days, weeks and months;) And you’ll finally have money to get a self-hosted blog and a domain name..Good work and good luck;)

    Thanks Midwest!

    I hope my earnings will increase steadily, although no one can guarantee that. I don´t think I will make that big money from my blog alone, so I´m researching more about niche marketing (I will report on it later on this month).

    See you,

    You’re welcome! And yes, I know that a blog alone won’t necessarily make you rich, this is way you should have other income sources also. I always said that multiple streams of income are better than one, cause if one fails, you have others which can make you money. But if you have just one, now that’s a problem;)

    See ya,
    Midwest
