Monthly Update for February

Image via Wikipedia

It's that time again - time for another monthly update.

I've found a new way of making backlinks for my pages, and it really seems to be working well. I've seen about a 20% increase in traffic, and have also seen an increase in my Amazon sales, and I've only been doing it about 3 weeks now. I've got so many lenses out there, but none of them are really ranking well in Google, so I thought for the next short while, I'd change tactics and spend more time building on what I have, rather than making a bunch of new stuff that's not earning me anything.

One thing I did realize - that I'll start working on this coming month - is that I can use blog posts and other articles I've written on Associated Content and make some money from them. Most of them will just need a little bit of editing, and I can't make any upfront money from them - but they can add to my page views.

So - here's the numbers:

Freelance writing: $100
Associated Content: $2.97
Amazon: $43.28
Other affiliates: 0

Grand Total: $146.25

So - No clickbank sales this month, which is a definite bummer. I'm going to promote my OWM sites hard core this coming month, and do a ton of backlinks to those sites, so hopefully, that will make a big difference.

ALSO - I'm taking on some more freelance work, doing backlinks for someone else, so I'll be making another $50/month on that one.

Slowly, but sure, I think I can see things starting to turn a corner!

It's definitely post-Christmas :(

My income took a big dive this month. I'm still working hard, though!

Amazon: $25.10
Freelance Writing: $100
Clickbank/other affiliates: $26.96
Assoc. content: $3.16

Total: $155.22

Ok, I seem to be going in reverse - instead of making more money each month, I'm making less. It's definitely a bummer. But I think it's just because of when I started - right before Christmas. I was lucky to get a bunch of Christmas sales, and now I'm feeling the lack of all that money being thrown around. However, I'm starting to get Clickbank sales from my OWM lenses, and I don't see any reason why that shouldn't just keep going up. So, I'll keep plugging away and taking action!

Goals for the New Year

I'm pretty sure I've already said this - but I want to have a post where I've got everything laid out clearly. 

My goal for this year is to get to a point where I'm making $100/day from the internet. Right now, I'm making $8/day, so I have a way to go still.

I'm doing this through article writing, which earns me about $100/month right now, and internet marketing.

Two-fold Marketing Plan for the first 6 months:

1) One Week Marketing - to continue with the OWM method, creating a new campaign each week.
2) CCB - to continue creating one Squidoo lens weekly that fits in with the Christmas Cash Blueprint plan.  Because it's NEVER too early to start planning for Christmas sales. ;)

At the end of 6 months, I will re-evaluate, and hopefully will have enough income coming in that I can start doing some more intensive types of marketing, to include niche blogging on my own domains.

I've gone from ZERO to $250 a month in about 3 months. I really expect that number to keep growing.

December Round Up

Here's the December Round-Up:

ClickBank income: -0-
Amazon income: $131.00
Freelance writing: $100
Assoc. Content: $9.27

Total: $240.27

And that's it. Not bad, a little less than last month, but I had more views on Associated content last month. This month's daily average was only $7.75 - But I really expect it to grow.
I'm really getting kicking with the One Week Marketing plan now.

And I'm also going to continue with the Christmas Cash Blueprint style lenses. I plan on doing one a week. That means I should have 50 done by next Christmas. Hopefully, that'll bring me some decent green for the holidays!

If you have an hour or two a week that you can devote to making a little bit of extra money, I really recommend the Christmas Cash Blueprint - it's really not just for Christmas! I'm still getting clicks on my product lenses. Check it out - its FREE, it's EASY - you lose nothing by giving it a look-see. If you're at all interested in making money on the internet, and don't know where to start, I feel it's the perfect place to get your feet wet. (I get nothing for sending you there - I just really respect Jackie Lee and the work she does helping people with internet marketing!)
