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!
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.
These are some good figures – particularly impressed by the growth in income from eHow, I definitely should get round to writing an article for eHow soon – especially as they now have a British site.
I also appreciate being able to track progress and make comparisons so I appreciate your earnings page. I am impressed with your eHow earnings. They are very good on a per article basis (at least compared to mine). Hope you have a good summer and get some work done despite the kids being home.
Keep at it your profits and knowledge will only increase.
You will replace your job income soon and will be able to stay at home with your kids.
Hey just stumbled across your site while looking for backlinks lol! Your eHow earnings are very impressive, especially the way they have shot up. May have to check that out for meself! You have inspired me to look at Clickbank and Amazon too. Any bloggers with good advice on getting started with Clickbank and Amazon?
Good luck with your efforts. Will come back and let you know how I get on.

[...] working mom shares her online earnings here. Notice how significant the monthly increase in the income from eHow [...]
Wow, this is awesome, thanks. How come you picked Infobarrel over Xomba and Hubpages. Simply the 75% adsense revenue share or because you felt Infobarrel would have a better CTR, rank higher or any other factor? You going to stick with Infobarrel for the near future?
GM,
I picked IB because the format is easy and the links are dofollow right off the bat. Xomba is nofollow and HP requires a certain score to be dofollow.
That said, I have recently started using Xomba and Hubpages. But most of the stuff I posted on those sites are for backlinks, any direct income is a bonus.
Thanks for the swift and as always helpful reply. Hope all goes well with Xomba and Hubpages
