November 2008 – Blogging Income Report
I’m failing to grab any traction on the online market. But somehow the money for blogging keeps coming in, albeit at a slower pace (nothing compared to what has happened to the Dividend Income!).
Having blogged at the same URL for over two years, I recently split the blogs into two primary threads (Blogging) and (Personal Finance). As a result I decided to split the income news. So this report is only part of my online success: online ONLY! The next few months should produce a lot of non-online income, as well.
The other change that is still making its effect felt is that I would rather not count money (some of which I may NEVER see) that is not actual income. This makes counting the income somewhat easier as I only have three or four places, and can simply add up the actual cash. The downside is I can’t count income I haven’t received yet, which includes a Google Ad Check, some cash from a client who’s expected to pay in December for work done in November, but I’m not changing the position: If it isn’t in my hand, it isn’t real!
So this is November’s results. Overall, it’s been not too bad a month considering. That makes a handy extra amount of cash, especially after spending so much money on travel this summer.
- Networking Ads – $109.08
- Private Ads – $138.57
- blogging – $126.51
$374.16
I’ve had a lot of success with one of the blogging networks these past few months, and the number of assignments has kept up until late November. So earnings on that front have been fairly consistent. There was no income from consultation or hosting this month, though, and I’m not counting affiliate income either, since I haven’t seen any checks for that.
