45 Year Old Millionaire

Total affiliate type revenue for June was $2,875.64 ($95.85 a day).

Pretty much the same revenue this month as last, (just $5 less) my Clickbank sales are WAY DOWN recently which is hitting revenue overall. I only promote a small number of Clickbank products and think the problem is the main ones increased their prices just before Christmas when there was a big update (for those products). This with the credit crunch/recession has pushed sales down (similar traffic, much less sales).

I signed up for Twitter around this time last year as part of an attempt to use social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to make more money online through social network marketing.

After gaining thousands of Facebook friends (which was a pain to achieve) my first account was banned by Facebook: if you requested friends at a high rate you’d get a warning. Stop requesting friends for a while and the warning goes away and you can request more friends. Despite listening to those warnings my account was locked (still is)!

Signed up for a new Facebook account, but didn’t make any friend requests (probably have 10 friends now). Do have 2 Facebook groups about AdSense Secrets and SEO Secrets with hundreds of members, but not doing anything with them as fell out with Facebook

Total affiliate type revenue for May was $2,892.67 ($93.31 a day).

With this revenue report I have a full years data

Another drop in revenue this month, that’s 6 consecutive monthly revenue drops despite quite stable traffic levels (lost traffic in some areas, gained in others). Based on ClickBank sales (see screenshot) and private ad sale revenue I’m quite confident the drops are caused by the recession (less people buying), so not worried (yet). Little disappointing this month dropped below $3,000, but means it will look so much more impressive when it goes back up again

Total affiliate type revenue for April was $3,109.16 ($103.64 a day).

Another drop in revenue this month, I’m not working hard on affiliate type revenue so my traffic is pretty stable last 6 months, so looks like I’m getting hit by decreased sales etc…. due to the recession. Half way through May already and this month is looking worse, thankfully this isn’t my main income, so not a big deal if I loose it all.

As always this revenue does not include the money I make through my SEO business, themes sold at AdSense Themes or any investments, so ONLY affiliate and advertising (AdSense type programs) revenue.

Affiliate Revenue for April 2009

March 2009 revenue is listed in italics to the right

Total affiliate type revenue for March was $3,453.37 ($129.89 a day).

This month I made about $140 less than last month, but March is 3 days longer than Feb, so not a great month. I’m still not feeling like working on affiliate type projects, so 95% of these earnings are from work 6+ months ago! I MUST get the will to want to add more Clickbank reviews etc… as these can make a fair amount of money with not too much effort. Shows how bad I am at getting around to some affiliate type stuff, this is the 10th month of doing these reports and it’s taken me to this one to add a link to the ClickBank Affiliate Program below for anyone to sign under me! That’s basic affiliate marketing, I really need to take this stuff more seriously.

Total affiliate type revenue for February was $3,589.41 ($132.00 a day).

Late again creating this report, spent six days in hospital after a lower back operation, if fully successful not only will I have a lot less pain (been in pain 15+ years), be able to finally have a fun life with my family (missed a lot of fun stuff due to being stuck in bed) but also be able to make a lot more money (make money in many more ways).

OK, back to the money

This month I made about $400 less than last month, but February was only 28 days, so the daily earnings is actually up $2, so not too bad. Didn’t do a great deal of affiliate based work last month, so 99% of this revenue is based on work done previously (good search engine rankings basically).

Total affiliate type revenue for January was $3,911.28 ($126.17 a day).

Little late creating this report, been busy creating new WordPress AdSense/SEO themes fr my use and the site I sell AdSense Themes at.

Pretty much made the same amount this month as I did in December, down a massive $70 odd

My Free Recipe site is still hit with a bad Google penalty (possibly for selling text links) on September 4th costing the site about 8,000 visitors a day and a fair amount of AdSense revenue. In December it recovered for 7 days before again being penalized, have sent another reinclusion request!!!

Total affiliate type revenue for December was $3,985.55 ($128.57 a day), which should cover my wife’s Christmas shopping bill

Although I’m down around $1,800 this month compared to November, it’s still a good month relatively speaking since I’ve been creating these revenue reports this is the first drop in revenue.

Didn’t do a great deal of affiliate type work this month again (busy with SEO clients). Really need to find some time to review more Clickbank products since page by page you can make a lot more from Clickbank sales than AdSense etc…

So can’t be bad, almost $4K complete profit without having to do much.

I’ve been an SEO consultant for years and own over 100 domains and through SEO testing have had at least 20 domains banned/penalised in Google, (I expected many of them to be banned since was testing SEO limits) so have a lot of experience with Google penalties.

About 5 months ago I started selling text links from my Free Recipe site (used one of the text link seller sites) and after a lot of technical problems finally got the entire web site added to their text link inventory, that was 50,000 pages available for selling text links from. I expected overtime to make a fair bit of extra cash from selling text links, apparently averages about $5 per link for a site like that one, so with 50,000 pages to link from there’s the potential for a lot of money without having to do any work (my preferred way of making money ).
