How I Made $3,500 In May. Doing Nothing Really!
- 24 Comment
This is my earnings report for MAY, I know it took me a month to post it, but it had to be done sooner or later, lots of things were hectic and thats why I could not get this post up in the start of June when it was supposed to be posted. The screenshots are missing because I lost them simple enough, Im sure you can trust me though. Some of the figures are gone to because of hardware failures. To make up for this I am including a slick picture for all you ladies to drool over, and if your a guy and your into other guys please don’t say anything because seriously I will not post any more pictures.
The money earned this month was less than what I had expected to earn. After making 2.6k last month I was hoping to cross the 3.5k mark this month, but was unable to due to the blog being hacked. I am not sure why the heck someone would want to hack this nice little blog of mine as it’s just about 3 months old. But I guess I did piss someone off now didn’t I Mr. Hacker?
Anyway while the blog was down so were a few of my other sites including my YouTube downloader. So I had to spend a lot of time getting things in order. Let me tell you it was a very hectic week for me and a damned shame as well as readers was really starting to pick up.
Anyway back to the making money part. Here’s a breakdown of how the money was earned.
Link sales: $2020
Site sales: Missing, lost data
Reviews: Missing, Lost data
Adsense: $400.00
Total: $3,500..
As you can see link sales were again my highest earners.
As you can see the adsense revenue has settled in at about $400.00. I’m glad with this and think it has settled down at this. The pages views per day have settled at about 10k a day. Don’t start patronizing me, as I have some really low earning sites but they require very low maintenance and they pay for the dedicated server. With the money left over I am able to buy some nice toys for myself.
Here is a screenshot of adsense for May. As usual the clicks, ctr, eCPM HAVE BEEN BLOCKED.
SITE SALES:
This was the first month where I went out and made sale for turnkey sites. I didn’t sell that many but was able to make a nice profit of about $24 from each site sold. I was selling a clone of my YouTube downloader. If you are interested in seeing how much can be made from a site like this check out this post about how my YouTube downloader earned more than my arcade site. If you are interested in purchasing one for $30 use the contact form to get in touch.
Link Sales:
Well as usual, link sales were my highest earners. How did I do it? Very very simple, I bought word press themes with full rights, that essentially make me the owner of the theme, and I can do whatever I want with it.
What do I do with them? I give them away for free. So how do I make money from this? Very simple I sell sponsored links on the bottom of the theme or in the footer as we l33t people like to call it.
The profit on these is amazing. I could pick up a theme for about $40. And sell a link on that theme for about $60-$70 each. Usually selling about 2-3 links on each theme. It’s that simple, but then you have to get people to download the theme. I had a site set up where people could download free wordpress themes, and even set up a blog so that it could be indexed better. The gallery script being used of the main site is not very seo friendly so I decided to set up the blog as well and get it indexed nicely.
Here’s a screenshot for this month’s month earnings from link sales:
The site sales are also included in this screenshot but theres not a lot of them so I included them in the screenshot.
Reviews:
As usual the reviews were carried out privately so I got no orders from review me. I also decided to take down their button from my sidebar as it was not giving me any results.

Wow, I just ran across your blog today and I’m impressed. Reading this as the first post was great :D. I might try buying wordpress themes and sell links on them, I’ll have to do a little more research on it before I hop in though.
Are there any forums that you read or are active on? If so which ones?

Hey, nice thing !
But I don’t understand, you say you sell sponsored link at the bottom of the theme…but to whom? And the users of the themes can put them off, it takes 2seconds. How can you make this working so good?July 12th, 2007 at 6:57 am -
