Total affiliate type revenue for January was $4,883.78 ($157.54 a day). That’s broken my 6 months in a row increasing revenue streak :-( It’s down about $140 compared to December, but still $80 more than the month before that.

You can see from the numbers below everything is similar to the previous month except Clickbank which is down about $130. At the beginning of January I had a lot of no sales days: only ONE sale in the first 10 days of the month!!!

Just a bad month for Clickbank!

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

Since June 1st 2008 to January 31st 2010 I’ve made $79,031.10 from affiliate revenue sources.

Average monthly revenue (20 months) $3,951.56 $3,840.25

To reach my millionaire goal by the age of 45 (May 19th 2015) or ~7 years from making these revenue reports, I’d need to earn on average $400 a day.

Averaging affiliate revenue per day (over the 610 days) : $129.56 a day, not even close :-)

I’ve spent a lot of my spare time last month working on a Clickbank version of my AdSense/SEO WordPress theme called Talian 04 (it runs on this site). I started the testing process in the last week of January on three domains and for one site (the one with most traffic) it didn’t go well at all, not well compared to AdSense or Clicksor/Chitika income anyway.

The other two domains, this one which runs a combination of Clickbank and AdSense ads and SEO/AdSense Ready WordPress Themes site runs just Clickbank ads are not really high traffic sites, so take time for tests to yield conclusive results (a week or so isn’t long enough). So far they aren’t making as much as they used to make on AdSense alone: about 80% the revenue of AdSense, but a couple of Clickbank sales could change that.

If I can ever work out how to create a membership site I might soon be moving into publishing my first Clickbank product. When I’ve finished the Clickbank WordPress theme I plan to sell it through Clickbank with affiliates etc…
