My Earnings

I love when people post their earnings on their site so I thought I would post mine. I started my first niche sites in October 2008 but it’s not worth going back to then. The adsense figures only represent niche site #6 – I don’t have it on any other sites as the traffic is so low and I worry about smart-pricing. On some of my other niche sites I have Market Health ads, but I haven’t had any sales. (Update Feb 2010: I now have adsense on a few niche sites. I am restarting with Dec09 earnings)

As you can see my earnings are very low. But so is my traffic. I do have an small adsense income from a personal site I created in 2005 (which I won’t track here). I use those earnings plus these earnings to fund my ongoing niche site activities.

    Hey you are making progress and that is good! You are doing better than me with Ehow. I think you probably had your article featured on the front page. That gets you $50! Awesome!

  • Carrie

    No, I don’t think that article was featured on the front page – I’m assuming that is $50 all at once. Mine trickled in each day. I’m thinking it temporarily listed well either in Google or eHow.

  • Sara

    That’s amazing. I honestly didn’t think eHow was a good income earner. I was dead wrong. :P

  • Dusty

    The key with eHow is article maturation. Once they have been published a while, you should start to see an increase in earnings.

    I have not been publishing much on eHow lately, as I have been focusing on Infobarrel and Xomba. These two sites in conjunction are awesome!

  • Sara

    Looks like Dusty was right. Your eHow income is increasing every month. Are you still creating more eHow articles?

  • Nadim

    I see your adsense income has jumped. How did you do that?

  • Clare

    Hi Carrie – good to see you back! I hope you’re fired up for 2010 and not being too seduced by WSOs – I’m trying to stay as far away from that candy store as possible!

    Your earnings are looking good since you say you lost momentum – I’ve not really thought about eHow before but might have to go and check them out right now! I’ve just discovered that i do like writing lol

  • Carrie

    Hi Clare! I think eHow is one of the more profitable revenue-sharing sites although they have hit some bumps so I’m not sure how long that will continue. I really did luck out with one article which is a great earner, but even my lower earners were worth it as I can write them rather quickly.

    I’m not sure how much more I will write there now as they are no longer allowing self-interest links. But I may still throw up an article here and there if I find a good orphan keyword.
