Blog Revenue Report – October

Posted by Matthew Berman On November - 5 - 2008


I see many other blogs that report their revenue each month. It is a simple way to give perspective on the size of a blog and potential of monetization. I was recently asked in a comment to share my blog’s income, so here is my revenue for October:

  • Private Ad Sales – $250
  • Reviews – $150
  • Google Adsense – $149.49
  • Kontera – $42.69
  • TOTAL – $592.18

Although this was not one of my best months I still am very proud at where my blog has come. An extra $600 per month is nothing to laugh at, especially since I had virtually zero costs to run/advertise the blog. I didn’t do any advertising at all this month and server/maintenance costs are minimal.

I am hoping to get my blog’s revenue up to $1000/month within 6 months. I haven’t been good at posting consistently lately, which I need to change. One thing that is always true about websites is: content is king. The more content you have the more traffic you will receive.

That’s great,
Hope that you can achieve that amount. And yes if the website content is good it will get the more traffic.

Great effort Matt. I think it was me who asked for the revenue report :) I think by having that report in front you, itkind of gives you encouragement to do more and it’s a great motivation.

I’ve been lazy to update my blog partially because I make my money from PPC and even thou I like sharing my experience and educating other people about PPC, I just don’t find the time for new posts. Blog can be another income stream and later become a media source for you to launch new products (ebooks, tanning material, etc). So I need get into his game too.

is PPC your full time job? what types of offers/traffic you running?

but yea, becoming lazy about posting is very easy…just gotta push yourself to do it.

No. I wish it was my full time job, I would be making a lot more (enough to wear the super affiliate title). I work full time and run ppc affiliate marketing biz on the side. I had been trying get into this internet money making biz since I first started in 2006. Didn’t get my success until april/may of this year. At first I tried building websites and stuff, then slowly got into PPC.

Is that just for this blog? because $250 for private ad sales is amazing… can you expand on this for me, because I am looking into this for my blog.

yes, just for this blog. the private ad sales comes from those 125×125 button ads on the side of my blog. it was a mixture of me offering people those ads for a month and companies coming to me requesting ad space.
