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.

* I’m not sure what happen that month, but I had a new article that earned around $50 in one month. Unfortunately, that did not continue.
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!
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.
That’s amazing. I honestly didn’t think eHow was a good income earner. I was dead wrong.
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!
Looks like Dusty was right. Your eHow income is increasing every month. Are you still creating more eHow articles?
I see your adsense income has jumped. How did you do that?
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
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.
