July Mid Month Update
We are nearly half way through the month of July, so I thought it would be a good time to asses how my attempts at making money online are going for this month.
Based on danielfelice.com, this month has started strong. Hits are up by about 130%, and revenue so far is already way beyond what I made last month.
| Method | June | July |
| Affiliates | $0.00 | $13.50 |
| Google Adsense | $3.03 | $1.34 |
| Kontera | $0.01 | $0.00 |
| Bidvertiser | $1.64 | - |
| Total | $4.68 | $14.84 |
I have not changed that much so far this month. I am still using MarketLeverage and Commission Monster as my two main affiliate networks, as well as adding Domaining Manifesto and Blog Mastermind over the past week.
I have stopped using Bidvertiser as my main PPC provider, which I replaced with Google Adsense half way through June. Google Adsense hits have been fairly good in July, but is on track to be about the same as June if things don’t pick up for the remaining half of July.
I have not been happy with the quality of ads from both MarketLeverage and Commission Monster lately, so I am on the look out for a new network. The problem with MarketLeverage is that most of the top performing ads are restricted to an American audience, where as the Commission Monster ads are mostly aimed at an Australian audience. Hits are about 50/50 between users from Australia and the USA, so I need to advertise products and services that cater for a wider audience. I will continue to use Commission Monster for Nameseek as 98% of the audience are Australian.
I find that ads showcasing products based around blogging and domaining are bringing in the most hits, so if there is a product that I use and am willing to support, then I will look for an affiliate program related to it and blog about it to promote it. I am not into recommending products and services that I have not tried – and I would not recommend something I have not and am not using.
Hopefully things will continue to improve over the remainder of the month, and a few more affiliate sales won’t hurt. Hits are constantly on the rise, which is great to see – I must be doing something right!
