It’s over now, today I will close my Making Money Experiment and you’ll never see me again. Ok, it’s a real lame april fool I know No really, phase one of my experiment is over now after six month. Now I’ll enter phase two with my blog and set me some higher goals than only making $100 within six month. But before I’ll present you my monthly statistics as usual.

In March I made my second highest “income” on my whole blogging journey. I made $30, which only gets topped from my January earnings where I made 40 bucks. I’m overly happy about this statsitics, not only because I’ve reached nearly 150% of my initially goal. All in all I made a total of $145 which comes down to an average of $24 a month. It’s peanuts I know, but I have learned some useful lessons while making those bucks.

The best money makers for this month were Bux.to and Paid.vg, both are really good PTC sites that pay $0.01+ for each click on an advertisement. With help of some bought referrals and some “natural” ones, I was able to make $15 with Bux.to (22 refs) and $12 with Paid.vg (8 refs). So far I only got paid from Bux.to and I’m still waiting for the Paid.vg payments.

You see, I have concentrated most of my time in those 2 programs. The remaining 3 bucks I have made from advertising on my blog.

On March I got 2,297 unique visitors on my blog. On one day I had over 500 uniques from StumbleUpon! My overall traffic for all those 6 month comes down to 6,884 unique visitors. My Alexa ranking dropped down to 686,388 (it dropped again because of my new domain name which “resetted” my old ranking). I’ve run a Pagerank predictor over my blog and it showed me a Pagerank of 1 for the next Google update, but I hope it will be higher because I’m still building backlinks to my new domain.

So, the first phase of my Making Money Experiment is over now. I’ve reached my goal to make $100 within 6 month, I even made a total of $145. The experiment showed me that it is really possible to make money online, although my earnings are rather low. I’ve learned many things on my journey and I’ve gathered enough knowledge to enter phase two of the experiment.

I will give you some more details regarding my future goals soon, so far I can only say that it’s more than $100 within 6 month. I’ll try to start doing niche affiliate marketing, expand my referral base on PTC sites and several more things to earn a good amount of money and maybe make a living from it in the long term.

So far I will thank all my readers, commentators, my blogger friends, my money makers and especially my wife for her support and understanding for having less time for here.

See you soon,
