Earnings For April 2010

Making Money On The Internet In April

During the month of April I have not done as much work for my oh so little money making experiment as I would have liked. This is due to a couple of things. One is because I have been distracted by a fantastic TV programme called In Treatment now available on DVD. It stars the gorgeous Gabriel Byrne who plays a psychiatrist. Each episode concentrates on one patient and their issues. It is a great insight into what happens during a session with a shrink and how people work through their issues.

I also took a short holiday break and spent the week with friends who live near Disneyland Paris. It was nice to be free from the computer safe in the knowledge that I was still earning a lovely passive income without doing anything.

During April I was able to reach a few milestones.

I managed to get to100 hubs for one of my profiles on hubpages.
I made some sales via Clickbank
I purchased a few more domains.

I have also included earnings gained from other avenues. The sums are very small but, hey, every little helps.

So how much did I earn online for April 2010?

Making Money With Adsense

Each avenue lost a little bit in earnings which is a bit of a shame.

Adsense earnings from Hubs = £69.80 last month = £70.44

Adsense earnings for Info barrels = £8.07 last month = £12.50

Adsense earnings from Free blogger blogs = £12.00 last month = £24.57

Adsense earnings from my Hosted sites = £69.55 last month = £89.46

Adsense earnings from Xomba & Snipsly = £2.87 last month = £2.02

Unknown earnings = £2.01 last month = £5.51

Total Adsense Earnings = £164.30 last month = £204.50

Making Money With Amazon

Earnings were very nice for April. There are still a lot of products that have been ordered but not yet delivered so I am still waiting for quite a bit of commission. Hopefully this will reflect even better in next months figures.

I also get to add my very first earnings for Amazon UK. A good start I think.

Earnings from Amazon USA this month =£97.50 last month = £108.65

Earnings From Amazon UK this month = £12.42 last month = £0

Making Money With Clickbank Products

I have been signed up with Clickbank for a couple of years now but have not really done anything with it. These products don’t particularly interest me so I find it difficult to motivate myself to write articles for any of them. I did however promote one product through a couple of posts and did achieve a couple of sales last year.

BUT I didn’t read the terms and conditions which states that if you do not reach the payout threshold within a certain amount of time and if payment hasn’t been made from a minimum of 5 different credit cards, admin fees will be taken from your earnings. I only found this out when I went to check my account and found that it had gone from $38 to $0 due to inactivity.

So I wrote a couple of hubs to see if I could get to the payment threshold again. During this month I have managed to make 3 sales so far. However I need to get two more sales before payment is issued. Figures crossed this will happen before I start to incur admin fees again.

Earnings From Clickbank = $32.60 = £21.01

Making Money With Kontera

Kontera is another affiliate programme that I am using on my hubpages. The earnings for this are absolutely rubbish but hey, it’s another earnings avenue and I don’t have to do anything.

Earnings From Kontera = $10.91 = £7.14

GRAND TOTAL OF INTERNET EARNINGS FOR APRIL 2010

= £302.57 Last month = £313.15

I am happy to see that the total earnings are similar the figures I collated for my earnings for March 2010. I need to push myself to try and get the figure even higher. I want to get be able to make at least £1,000 per month on the internet so that I can leave my boring ass job. The aim is to do this by the end of 2010.

Ideas For May

I have been reading quite a bit of stuff from other people who are making a great living working on the internet. One person in particular is a gent livin the life in Spain called Dave. He has just started up a really interesting blog called Making Money On The Internet. He is very successful in many areas, especially using the Amazon affiliate programme.

Prompted by one of his comments about creating dot info sites, I decided to initiate my own mini challenge. I am hoping to create 50 dot info sites with Amazon links on them. This is a great (and cheap) way to practice my keyword research as I still have a lot to learn. I am picking general products so that I can write about a range of different brands. I find it easier to write for hubpages so the style will be similar to that sort of format. We’ll see how it goes.

Dave – I look forward to reading your monster post of how to make good money with Amazon.

So that’s all for now. Hope all you other internet money makers have recorded good results for your April earnings.
