This guy says that from all of his websites, he used to make 8 – 9 grand a month with Kontera, but then he switched to Infolinks (not even all his sites) and he’s already making $12,000 a month with Infolinks.


So I just signed up with Infolinks!


Let’s hope I make that much.

…and from other banner ads on his dating site, Plenty of Fish.


His market share was that he offered a free dating site, while others charged $30 to $40 per user. I don’t know much about Plenty of Fish — I hope it’s safe.


Algorhythms keeps the yucky stuff off the site. Good to hear.


It’s funny how Markus Frind says that that when he brought that first $900k or more check into his bank, they had to remove some kind of international law limits in order to deposit it.

…so is quoted in this article about online income.


That poisoned-pen Perez Hilton comes to mind.


No doubt Ariana Huffington, John Chow (I gotta check his blogging income lately), Michael Arrington, ShoeMoney and a few others.


The debate rages on…

»»»»»»» Affiliate Confession Blogger Breaks the $5,000 Online Earnings Mark in October 2008…

I love finding new good blogs about making money online honestly.


I had a great Black Friday — with over $16,332.00 in Apple sales, bringing my cut of my Commission Junction earnings over 215 bucks so far.


My Apple performance incentive is set to increase beyond the 1% it’s at now — I just started seriously pitching their stuff — and I had a question as to whether once it goes up if it stays at 2%, 3%, 4%…8%, etc.


Or does Apple’s incentive performance revert back down to the lowest level like Amazon Associates does every month?


Anyone? Anyone?


I’ve check Apple’s terms and conditions and didn’t find my answer.


But that’s how I found Affiliate Confessions, a blog written by Alan LeStourgeon, and his post about making more than $5,000 in October 2008.


Simple, straight-forward advice and non-hype about making money online.


He don’t promise that you’ll be a millionaire.


I like that.


Plus, his wife’s a Christian counselor.


I love that.


I subscribed.

Lindsay over at WritingForYourWealth.com has some great Adsense tips in her new post detailing how she’s made over $100,000 in Google Adsense income in one year.


(Think I’ll take her up on the tip of paring down the site to give people only Google Adsense links to click on.)


But as I’ve written, I want to know what her sites are!

The Sports Dollar is a blog that proclaims that sports blogs can make money online.


I like that.


I found them by searching for “YardBarker Earnings” and “YardBarker Income” to find out how much money people are making with YardBarker.


Turns out part (or all?) of the $113 filed under misc. income from Sports Dollar’s June 2008 income post was from YardBarker.


We shall see…

Blogger Timothy Sykes Made 45 Grand in One Month

Timothy Sykes Said He Tried to Make Money Blogging the Way John Chow Does, But Failed

That’s what I admire about reading Timothy Skyes’ interview and writings. Unlike some men, especially men, he doesn’t mind admitting his failures.


After all, we learn big time from them…


And I like that Timothy Sykes says that he doesn’t like promoting liars and cheats. Same here!

How Does Timothy Skyes Make His Money?

Sounds like he’s not doing it thru Adsense and affiliate sales.


Sounds more so like DVD sales and instructional stuff and penny stocks and whatever. Whenever my kid’s not bugging me to use the computer to get on Webkinz, I’ll delve further into his post and links.


All these guys who don’t support the ad-supported revenue and affiliate sales stuff have got me thinking…

Blogger Derek Semmler unfortunately found his blogging income decreasing to $677.54 for the month of July 2008.


Whilst we were happy galore with our increase in Kontera earnings, Semmler is thinking of getting rid of it.


Plus he plans to attract new advertisers and follow thru with “keyword sniping,” whatever that is.


We’d better investigate.


Here’s hoping August 2008 is better to your blogging income, Derek. We’ll be watching and reading and posting…

Thanks to the good Googly Google Reader, I came upon Life is Colourful, a blog that made more than $2,100 in July 2008 — thanks mostly, they say, to pitching Yahoo Search Marketing $50 off coupons.


Hey…that gives me an idea…



Okay, I just dug around my AOL and Gmail accounts, found my Commission Junction password — logged in, discovered I was deactivated due to dormancy, reactivated and found I was already a member of the Yahoo advertiser.


So go ahead and advertise your Web site with Yahoo! Sponsored Search. Sign up and get a $25 credit into your new account. Learn more.
! Or just pitch it to your readers.

So in this interview, Michael Cheney says he makes $1,000 a day some days with Adsense, other days less.


And then he goes on to do what most web marketers do: Not really tell you how.


Same old splash page stuff, same teasing. Ai yi yi. Give me something useful.


Okay, maybe I’m just tired and need to “Silence Your Rooster” but these online marketers who promise to tell me how to make a gazillion dollars online if I’d only buy their whatever-priced e-book are seriously getting old.


Michael Cheney has been online for a while, since 2004 from what I can tell.


And I did like his tip about researching the high-paying keywords and try to rank high for those.


I might try that.


But this is the whole reason I don’t want to charge a gazillion dollars to people trying to learn how to make money online. People need the money to put gas in their cars — not a bunch of hooey.

This guy bought a car with his blogging income — or at least, is using his monthly blogging income to pay for the 60 month note.


He doesn’t give exact amounts, but I thought I’d put up a post on him anyway, so I can come back and study his sites and his techniques so maybe it can help us all…

Making Money Online with a Free Blogger Blog – How One BlogSpot Blogger Made $679.08 in July 2008…

Now here’s an interesting story of how somebody named “Charles Schwabs” — at least they could try and spell the man’s name right! — made money online with a free Blogger blog.


Obviously one of Personal Finance Management and Planning’s tips is to use a hot white blonde as their profile pic. I’ve done this in the past — ’specially for those horn dogs on Digg — but in the end, I think being real is what wins. Or, real anonymous and pretending to have a site authored by multiple authors to get your website listed on Google News. Hint, hint…

How is the BlogSpot Blogger Making Money Online with a Free Blog?

As you can see, nearly half of the money they’re making online is from Google Adsense — and I love the way their top Google ads show up so large on their BlogSpot blog. I’m totally copying that Blogspot theme when I get done with this post.


I see it’s the Tekka free BlogSpot template that you can grab from their regular list of templates, if you’re on Blogger.


And I see that they pulled in the Adsense code using Blogger’s “gadget” template widget — I just pulled in text only ads front and center like they did near the top of my Blogger blog. I’ll bet you this will explode my earnings over there.


You see how researching how other bloggers are making money pays off?

Quality Content is Really Key to Making Good Money Online…

For the most part, a cursory review of their content turns up interesting posts like this one, asking why PayPerPost’s top earner only made $368.49 one month with them.


I love it.


Thanks to Personal Finance Management and Planning for showing us how they are making money online!

Adsense Autoclicker – Is it worth it?

I kept checking my “recent keyword activity” to see what search terms would bring people here and ironically, the first search term that helped someone find this site was “Adsense Autoclicker” — something I’d never heard of.


Searching around for “Adsense Autoclicker” info, I found a post that describes Adsense autoclicks and the like — as well as interesting forum postings about Adsense Autoclicker.

How Much Money Does Adsense Autoclicker Make People?

That’s what I want to know — if any Adsense Autoclicker user is brave enough to post up their income online.


I see scraper sites all the time, and actually figured out how to use the wp-o-matic plugin to create automatic posts (I’m sure people who use those things might also use Adsense autoclicker tools) — but I didn’t want to do that.


The wp-o-matic is cool, but I want to keep abreast of what content I’m creating. Heaven forbid I lead people to some crazy sites.


While black-hatters tend not to post their income online, one guy who turned black hat did spell out the $175,000 – $400,000 a year he was making on Paula’s List of Blogger Salaries.


Not saying he used Adsense Autoclicker, but I wonder what he did to get the money?


I’m staying on the side of legality (I pray) to make my Adsense monies the right way…

How One Blogger Made $20,375.34 Cash Money Online During the First 8 Months of 2008…

It’s been nearly 8 months exactly since I last posted up my online income — $3,821.65 made in 6 weeks back around December 2007.


What is it about the number 8 that biblically signals a new beginning?


Well, I’m fresh off a 3-day season of being blest by the secrets to get closer to Him and on fire with new vision — which explains why I attached that pic of the gold being poured out abundantly from an invisible hand in the sky that I’ve been seeing a lot in my mind’s eye lately.

I’ve learned a lot about making money online…

…and SEO since I last posted up how much money I’d made at that point — all from running websites from home — and my petition is that this website about ways to make money online will be helpful to whomever He wills in this economy where people really want to make money online and everywhere else that’s acceptable.

How Did I Make $20,375.34 Online in 8 Months?

You’ll see that the bulk of the money has come from Google Adsense — as witnessed by the snapshot of July 2008 I just grabbed from my Google Adsense account. Just click the pic to enlarge and read more below for the details.


Also find the breakdown of my other income sources below, along with a description next to each money-making vehicle of how I got it.


Go ahead and add this website that gathers the best of the “make money blogs” to your favorite RSS feed reader and check it often for updates about various people making real money online.

Online Income From January – August 2008 (Yes I know August isn’t over yet, but I know what I earned pretty much this month):

MONEY MAKERS	AMOUNT MADE	THE BACKSTORY
Google Adsense	$10,595.04	Amazingly, all my websites have generated over ten grand in the first 8 months of 2008. In the spirit of honesty like we studied last night before breaking our corporate fast, I’ll confess that the start of the year found me pitching Google Earth via Google Adwords — and when I realized that was a no-no, I didn’t really want to stop. But Google stopped me, and struck a deal and paid me out the Adsense income I was due, part of which was my Adsense for Content earnings. (I’ll never call Google evil!) So technically I should deduct around $3,600 from this number — representing around the amount I spent on advertising Google Earth — which ended up being a wash with what I earned. The remainder would be net income from Google Adsense — and I ain’t complaining!
Make Money Selling Amazon Products , Amazon Associates Germany, Amazon Associates France, Amazon Associates United Kingdom,Amazon Associates Canada, No Sales Yet From Amazon Associates Japan	$6,720.93	I didn’t feel like breaking down my Amazon monies earned by country like I did the last income posting, but I can tell you this: Selling Nintendo Wiis at Christmastime was a direct blessing from God. I remember seeing 25 sold from Amazon Germany in one day! Awesome…So that money came in much-needed at the beginning of 2008 to cover all my other snafus above. But Germany wasn’t too bad to get the money from. Amazon UK and Germany paid promptly enough — considering it came from overseas. Amazon France was the biggest hassle to get the money out of, but they did eventually pay. Then Google dropped the ranking or something for my Wii site, so I panicked and started another — and have sold some Wii games and stuff here and there. Will the Wiis pick up again in a few months? I’ll let you all know…
PayPerPost	$7.50	After getting burned by the Google Pagerank slapdown on us PayPerPosters, or IZEAers, as it were, I kinda lost the feeling for PPP. This seven fifty came from some kind of referral fee — and I guess that’s all I’ve made from them all year. I checked the open opportunities on PPP in times of desperation, but nothing floated my boat enough to post.
Text Link Ads	$234.07	This is steadily growing. Bless God I finally cracked Alexa’s Top 100,000 sites for my WatchFreeEpisodes.com — and people have been buying more post-level ads.
Associated Content	$1,188.00	Associated Content is another site I’m glad I was directed to about two years ago, in August 2006. (There’s that 8 number again…) AC was my first foray into writing online and trying to make money at it — so they’ll always hold a soft spot in my heart. And I, like a head-strong teen that’s moved on to better things — sulking a bit when I didn’t win the 5 grand challenge recently — but glad to have gone back to publish something to keep my bonuses a-comin’ — I am glad AC has been forward-thinking enough to reward us long-time writers with higher page-view bonus payouts based on our clout. Another good step ordered by the Lord — I barely write for them, but still get a cut of the hard work ad money I created for them.
Feedburner Ad Network	$14.10	I kinda forget about Feedburner Ad Network till the little bit of monies pops up in my PayPal account — but I’ll still take it. This is the money trickling in from those Google Ad links at the bottom of our first postings on our sites, and I find that people must not like clicking on those. Money-making tip: I get my best clicks from the Medium Rectangle text-only Google Ads you see on many of my sites, smack dab front and center like above. Unless I’m doing something wrong with the FAN, I’d love to find out how much other people are making with them…
Kontera	$1,147.74	Kontera has really come thru and been a blessing for me. I was just amazed to see $429.26 earned for the month of July 2008 in my Kontera account — to be paid in September 2008 — and did a little Holy Spirit falling jerk in my gut at the realization. Out of all the in-text link ad programs out there, I’m glad I started out with Kontera ever since I read about them on John Chow’s blog, and signed up with them. They’ve moved to direct deposit since I’ve been with them, and they’ve updated and improved their website. There’s something about Kontera ads that people like clicking on — and as long as they’re clean, I like that!
Link Share	$380.25	Link Share is building up to be a nice little money maker, and works nice for the online TV shows I sell thru iTunes. I only wish they broke down further which specific iTunes shows I’m selling, to help me more with sales evaluation.
Rubicon Project	$87.21	The Rubicon Project sounded good at first — and boy was I glad to get that extra 50 or so I wasn’t expecting from them promptly one day. But I removed their ads because although it’s cool to have so many places to pull ads from, you can’t ban any (I don’t think) like I do thru Google’s Competitive Ad filter to try and keep the crappy ads at bay. And they don’t let you log on their site with Firefox!
GRAND TOTALS	$20,375.34	All in all, to go from not knowing people even made money online when I put up my first post on Blogger in December 2005 — to be on par to make over $30,000 online in 2008 — or probably much much more, can only be from my Father in heaven. I’ve got a feeling this benchmark is just an eye-opener from Him to say, “See how far I’ve brought you!” only to whisper, “You ain’t see nothin’ yet…” After all, the number 33 has been everywhere in my brain lately. Come to find out tonight that it means “promise…”
